On Wednesday night in the city hall. there assembled three commit tees. representing the Progressive. Democratic and Republican parties
 When they adjourned they had nom mated ticket which they decided to call the "Non-Partisan Ticket" ." but which ticket was not absolutely acceptable to the Progressive wing of the meeting which through the chairman of the Progressive commit
 tee it declined 10 accept as binding
 MT. Robert MenZie was the unani- nous choice of those present for the position of chairman of the meeting
 Joe Dillow was likewise chosen as secretary of the meeting. The poli- ticians then got down to the busi- ness of the evening. The hitch of the whole meeting was over the eleventh hour refusal of William Burns to run unless the name Of Henry Roden, of the Iditarod, was left on as senator. There was T tWo-hour discussion in which the representatives of the Wickersham faction and those of the Democratic faction fought hard for the elimina- tion and the retention of Henry ROden. Judge Erwin waxed elo- quent as he appealed to the assem- blaze for harmony. He described the stand of the Democrats and of the Progressiyes. He said that if the name of Henry Roden was not acceptable to the majority of the men present the Democrats had no no business there. Judge Pratt pointed out to the members Of the committee how the nomination of Henry Roden was not right Roden Is an office-holder in the employ of the government, and according to sent to the federal office-holders. he has no right to seek the nomin- ation aided and abetted therein by the power his position gives him. Mir. c. F.. Davidson then arose and said that he had asked District At torney Crossley if MT. Roden had not the right to run, and that Mir. CrOssley had informed him that as long as Roden resigned if elected there was nothing that could pre- vent him from accepting the nomina, tion. Mir Dillow pointed out how his chances for election would be lessened on that account Again Judge Erwin arose and defended the United States district attorney. It went on in this way for two hours. When 1t was finally suggested that vote be taken, the choice of tho convention was r for and 9 against Henry Roden. He was therefore declared candidate for sena-

Mr. Ret. tleson, Mir. Dillow and Judge Pratt remained seated, signifying thereby their unwillingness to accept the nomination of their candidate by the leader of the opposing faction
 Mir. Charles Thompson then arose and placed in nomination the name of F. W. Griffin. Mir. Waite sec onded the nomination of the Chena merchant. Then in rapid sequence the names of 0. r. Gaustad. $. R Weiss and I ! Mullally were plac ed before the convention Various suggestions were made as to allow ing the creeks to choose their own candidate. but ii was finally decided that a written vote should be taken to see which of the four mentioned should be accorded the honor of being the candidate on the ticket.

WANT PARDON
OR PAROLE
FOR MORRIS

That friends interested in the par
ole of w. Cooper Morris, the convict
ed banker of Portland, appealed to
the parole board to take action in
the case became known last evening.
According to the source giving the
information, the board declined to
consider the application as the mini
mum sentence of Morris has not yet
expired. There was presented to II
for consideration a vast amount Of
letters, 1t is stated, but in view Of
the fact that 1t could not act under
the law, the members did not read
thems
This now puts the granting Of a
pardon or parole to Morris up to
Governor West. According to rumor
the governor agreed to grant Morris
pardon, If he would testify in the

If he does not pardon him, that he
will grant him a parole.
