This week our school schedule was
somewhat upset because of the rain.
The grounds being muddy prevented
us from having our regular physical
education period. With that much
time aiken off our school day we
were naturally dismissed earlier I
like the idea of getting out of school
early, but don't like to mis- physical
education, so the matter does not
concern me.-Ortha Console, 7-3.

COP. DELEGATES
ARE UNPLEDGED

Adopting a platform Of singing
rebuke to the national and state
Democratic administrations, Wash
ington Republicans held their state
convention Saturday at Spokane.
The preamble to their platform de-
nounced a "supine and cringing
congress- and IAN cratic, irrespon-
sible legislative Majority
Sixteen delegates we're elected by
the group to represent the state
at the national convention in Cleve-
land June 9. D. S. Wilkinson OF
White Bluffs was named an alter
nate. He plans to make trip east
this summer and will attend the
convention while there.
The outstanding political devel-
opment of the convention was the
defeat of an attempt to pledge the
state delegation to Governor Landon
of Kansas for the presidential
nomination. The Landon supporters
were a strong group, but the ma
jority of the delegates were opposed
to pledging the state to any one
candidate.
The party's platform urged COM
pletion of the Grand Coulee and
Roza projects, development Of nav
igation on the Columbia and Snake
rivers, adequate old age pensions
unemployment insurance, and OPP
posed the setting aside of needless
national parks.
The latter plank was condemned
by number of delegates as a blow
at the proposed Olympic peninsula
national forest bill now before con-
gress.
Activities at the meeting brought
about several post-convention de-
velopments, including the announce
ment by Earle j. Barnes of Yakima,
former director of conservation and
development under Governor Hart
ley, that he would be a candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination
con his record while in office For
mer Mayor Stratton of Yakima has
also announced his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor.
