will be held tomorrow night at s
o'clock at the court house and at the
council room in the Wenatchee Com
mercial Club building to select dele
gates to the republican county con-
vention to be held in Wenatchee next
Saturday.
The delegates to be named will con-
test the right to seat in the conven-
ton with those named Thursday
night of last week in the caucuses in
which six and three persons respec-
lively selected the delegates for We
natchee and Columbia precincts.
1t is understood that the stan3pat-
ters had hoped to secure seat in the
convention and make a recommended
ton in reference to a congressman for
this district and some are in favor
of resolution to annul the effect of
the direct primary law, SO as to per-
NIT the legislative candidate to dis
regard the statutory pledge requiring
him to vote for the peoples choice
for United States senator.
The progressives are going into the
convention with the following prin-
ciples:
1. To stand upon the direct pri-
mary law with respect to both the
letter and spirit of the law.
2. They favor the election of
United States senator by the legisla-
ture in accordance with the peoples
choice at the polls.
8 They will oppose the endorsing
by this convention of any candidate
for the senate, either progressive or
standpat.
4. They will insist that any can
didate for the legislature shall take
the statutory pledge to vote while in
the legislature for the candidate for
United States senator who receives
the highest number of votes at the
direct primary election
5. The progressives are going to
condemn any efforts of 1.-The machine
to prevent republican voters from a
free and untrammelled franchise at
the primaries.
The managing committee has asked
for a full and free attendance at the
caucuses tomorrow night at o'clock
at the two places.
PrOgresives Not Politicians.
The progressives admit that they
are not wise politicians. The old-time
politicians are nearly all found in the
ranks of the standpaters. The pro-
gressives maintain that they repre-
sent the great rank and file of the
party and are going to insist that as
such that they are not going to be
read out of the party.
The standpatters it is said are now
busy pulling the strings to control
the convention.
