Lee and McNeely at Tenino.
Two Republican candidates for
governor Geo. A. Lee and James Nc
Nicely. addressed the Tenino conven-
ton, gathering to which several
local leaders have since referred as
reminding them of the good old
days" There were several incipient
rackets, but they were quelled with
out great disturbance, and the organ
ization had it's way.
Tenino, according to preliminary
arrangements, was to have had the
convention chairman and three state
delegates if that many We're desired.
Tenino desired two delegates and got
one, George H. Funk, chairman of
the nominating committee, getting
mixed in his count, it is said. Wesley
FentOn of TeninO was the man want
ed for chairman, but he had to be out
of town and Tenino's choice fell upon
Ted McLafferty. E. H. Sanford, coun-
ty chairman, and others demurred to
Ted on the ground that he had never
engaged in the business of plotting a
and at the last moment
they tagged John M. Wilson, assist
ant attorney general, who was pres
ent as a delegate and unprepared
with keynote speech. He rose to the
however, and that crisis
was passed.
Then w. w. Work of Olympia, who
has been suspected of Bull Moose ten
denotes, made known a desire to go
to the state convention. When the
expressed a preference for
Charles McCleary, Works Westside
friends displayed symptoms of erupt
ing on the floor. The nominating
was yanked from the ses-
sion for a moment and the Work fac
ton hidden to do its worst. Nothing
Two Women on Delegation.
The directing end of the conven-
ton scored again in placing Mrs.
Clarence Maynard of Little Rock and
Miss Edna Mckenzie of Mud Bay on
the state delegation, when Mrs. Kate
Young was present as delegate and
willing to make the North
Yakima trip next month. Miss Nc
Kenxie was not a delegate to the
county convention, but received the
prize in recognition Of something due
the Mud Bay section. She also prof.
tied by a lively political difference of
opinion between Mrs. Young and W.
w. Hopkins, assistant state land COM
who has had to do with
Thurston county Republican affairs
for the past IL years. Mrs. Young
says she is going to get revenge on
the crowd by running for the legis-
lature this fall.
Senator Carlyon was selected as
the county member of the state plat
form committee to 60 to North Yaki-
ma a day before the convention. to

ton, as follows:

There was some Intention of for
mally indorsing the candidacy OF j..
L. Peters of Olympia for national
but the matter was
overlooked on the theory that Peters
would have his county support any
how. He had some Roosevelt symp-
IONS in 1912, which is as far as such

state convention delegation.
