+ SEATTLE, Wash, July 7.-ON BOARD
THE TAMMANY DELEGATE SPECIAL.
-"Cox and cocktails - Harding and
the home" is the slogan adopted by
the Republicans Of the dry state Of
Washington for the Presidential CAM
|paign.
"They dug fine little row Of politi-
cal graves at the San Francisco con-
vention," said Colonel G. M. Blethen,
editor of "The Seattle Times" evening
independent newspaper of the North
west, to the Tribune correspondent to-
day. Unto the first went the cheerless
leader, Colonel William J. Bryan. Into
the second they led Cox. Into the last,
with dull thud, dived the Democratic
party. Tammany Hall is satisfied at
last. Tammany spent a delightful vaca,
ton on the Pacific Coast getting back
at the Wilson dynasty for the sights
of the past.
"The Tammany men have three
scalps - Wilson's, McAdoo's and
Bryan's. Cox's nomination insures
a Republican triumph on the Pa
ciic Coast. In the State of Washing
ton the sentiment is 80 per cent. The
attempt Of the Tammany- Cox Taggart
machines to revive the liquor issue will
be met out here by an overwhelming
avalanche of votes against the Demo-
cratic national ticket. The people here
long ago fought out the wet and dry
issue among themselves and decided
overwhelmingly that old John Barley
corn would have to go. The national
issue out here will be the wet and dry
Harding and the home"
Satisfied with Convention
The Tammany delegates and their
friends on their way home by special
train are entirely satisfied with the
San Francisco convention ticket. Will
lam 2. Kenneally, vice-chairman of the
New York Board of Aldermen, Charles
F. Murphy's representative in the body,
said to-day:
"Cox and Roosevelt sounds good to
making Cox the candidate than any
state with the exception of his own.
All the believers in personal liberty
will be for Cox
eve asked for a wet plank in the
national platform. We were turned
down. But we did not come away
empty-handed, as we were the first
state to swing to Cox after we left
Governor Smith,"
In Tacoma last night Mayor Riddell,
Democrat, made a brief speech at a
dinner for the Tammany people. He
said he depended on Tammany's seven
teen votes in the House of Represen-
tatives for the passage of an improve
ment appropriation needed by Tacoma
City. Thomas Churchill, former presi-
dent of the Board of Education, re-
piled to the Mayors remarks, compli-
menting Tacoma's two high schools,
which, he said, in comparison with
New York's high school equipment for
given number of pupils, entirely out
class New York.
The politicians both in the Repub-
lican and Democratic camps are watch
ing with interest the political situa-
ton in this state. The so-called triple
alliance of the radicals of all parties,
made up of the radicals in the State
Federation of Labor, the radicals in
the railroad organizations and the rad
ical farmers, apparently have lost con-
troll. In the State Federation's con-
vention in Spokane last week the CON
servatives regained control, defeating
the Jim Duncan following. A meeting
Of all the radicals is scheduled for
next week, at which it will be decided
whether they shall attempt to obtain
control of the Republican and Demo
cratic organizations by going into the
primaries of the two older parties, the
same as they did in North. Dakota and
Minnesota and other states.
