TACOMA. Wash. February as (Spe-
ciaD aD.-Washington democrats will CO.
iect their fourteen delegates TO the
national convention Monday, May II,

cial session of the legislature to ratify
the women's suffrage amendment.
Washington will send either an un-
instructed delegation to San Francis
CO or one pledged to Herbert Hoover.
This was the consensus of opinion a t
Seattle during the meeting. Hoover
sentiment runs strong in the party.
Federal office holders, however, look
with more favor upon McAdoo or
Palmer. but following the Seattle
meeting even these were inclined to
get on the Hoover band wagon.
Republican presidential politics are
moving rapidly in Washington. a
fight for the control of the national
delegation has opened. While it is
conceded the delegation will be for
Miles Poindexter for first choice. a
contest is coming to pick men with

Of the stalwarts are with them. A
great silent group of watchers are
sitting tight, awaiting the moment
when they can throw their support
one way or the other. The group
which names the national committed

second and third choice votes also
II things turn and Poindexter re-
