Last Monday was republican day inColfax. nearly all of the 177 delegatesaccredited to the county convention at-tending in person. Quite a large con-tingent arrived in towu Sunday, and fromthat time on conferences and caucuseswere frequent, with the result that whenthe convention met nearly all differenceshad been settled and harmony and eu-thueiasm prevailed. Aside from a fewnominations, the only matter of import-ance not settled before the gavel fell wasthe precise wording of the railroad plankin the platform, and the convention fixedthat to suit itself by amending the re-port of its committee and indorsing fromstart to finish the railroad policy ofGovernor Mcßride, which is in line withthe sentiment of a large majority of thepeople of Whitman county. The organ-ization of the convention, both tem-porary and permanent, was agreed uponin advance, and but little friction devel-oped after the delegates got to work.The platform is a strong, outspokendocument, clear in its language andmeaning, and the nominees who standupon it are admittedly well qualified andcompetent.

The convention was called to order at11:25 by W. J. Davenport, chairman ofthe county central committee.wbo askedfor nominations for temporary secre-tary. 11. M. Boone nominated W. J.Davenport, but he declined to serve. J.B. Frick named Geo. W. Case, Jr., of St.John, and he was elected unanimously.For temporary chairman, A. W. Perleyof Tekoa was nominated by P. W. Bier,and the election was by acclamation.

Upon taking the chair Mr. Perleymade a felicitous address, thanking theconvention for the honor conferred andreferring to the fact that he was the firstrailroad working man who had e-. erbeen made chairman of a republicanconvention in Whitman county, whichrecognition gave hope for favorable re-sults hereafter. He regarded this as amost important convention, havingmatters of vital interest to the peopleto deal with, and was convinced that indisposing of them the members of theconvention would be guided by prin-ciples of right and justice. He referredfeelingly to the untimely taking off ofPresident McKinley and GovernorRogers, adding that the men who hadsucceeded them were able, honest audfearless. Every refereuce to PresidentRoosevelt and Governor Mcßride wasreceived with cheers, and the declara-tion that the state will elect three con-gressmen and a United States senatorwho will be in harmony with the presi-dent's policy, and that Whitman coun-ty will elect a legislative delegation infull accord with the governor's policy,brought down the house. He gave somegood advice to republicans from a partystandpoint, reminding them that thepresent was not all there was of it, northe whole thing, and that differencesshould be considered settled when theconvention adjourned.

The order of business being called forby the chairman, he was instructed, up-on motion of S. S. King, to appoint theusual committees, to consist of fivemembers each, which were named as fol-lows:

Committee on credentials —W. J.Davenport of Colfax, O. E. Young ofPullman, James Anderson of Rosalia,W. A. Struppler of Uniontown and JohnCanutt of Penawawa.

Permanent organization—J. C. Law-rence of Garfield, Walter Hayfield ofFarmington, W. H. Harvey of Pullman.Harry Granch of Colton and T. H. Logs-don of Endicott.

Order of business—P. W. Lawrence ofi Pullman, George M. Carev of Colfax, J.R. Richardson of Tekoa, J. T. Billups ofPampa and 0. E. Hailey of Oakesdale.

Platform and resolutions—E. T. Co-man of Colfax, Lillis F. Smith of Endi-

| cott, F. W. Bier of Farmington, J. G.Gibson of Johnson and A. A. Wilson ofPalouse.

The convention then adjourned to1:30 p. m.

Reports of Committees.The platform committee was not

ready to report at the appointed time !for reconvening, order was not calleduntil 2:10.

The report of the committee on cre-dentials was the first to be read, and itwas adopted.

The committee on permanent organ-ization recommended for permanentofficers, J. K. McCornack of Palouse,chairman; C. A Gwinn of Garfield, sec-retary; G. W. Case, Jr., and Peter Mc-Gregor, assistant secretaries. The re-port was adopted without opposition.

Upon assuming his duties ChairmanMcCornack announced that he wouldnot make a speech, but would expedite

' matters, which he thought would bettersuit the delegates.

Next came the report of the committeeon order of business, which was adopted.It scheduled the work of the convention

lin the following order: Reports of com-i mittees; reading of resolutions andI adoption of platform; election of dele-i gates to the state convention; notninaj tion of legislative ticket; nomination ofsheriff, auditor, treasurer, clerk, prose-

muting attorney, assessor, school super-intendent, surveyor, coroner, countycommissioners.

The report of the platform committeewas listened to with undivided atten-tion and applause greeted the reading

v- v Lrailroad Plank, the wording of

which had been the only bone of couten-tion in the committee.Convention Fireworks.

When the reading was completed, D.L*. httinger secured recognition and ad-vancing to the railing made an impas-sioned appeal to the convention toamend the railroad plank with referenceto the commission bill, so there could beno possible misconstruction of its mean-ing or the desire of the republicans of thecounty to fully and wholly endorse therailroad policy of Governor Mcßride.He declared that the matter waH all im-portant, that this was where the tire-worke were, and that no hasty actionought to be taken. He then submittedthe amendment, which made support ofthe cum mission bill paramount, insteadof beiug on equal terms with a maxi-mum freight rate bill, as the plank wasoriginally reported, and which latter wasto be supported if the effort to secure acommission failed.

rtiat the convention was in favor of acomplete indorsement of Governor Me-Bride's policy of putting the commis-Bion foremost was now apparent, andthe niotian to amend received severalseconds.

F. W. Bier thought that a majority ofthe delegates believed him to be sincerein his support of Governor Mcßride. Hewas one of the committee on platform,and the question had been whether topledge the legislative members to en-deavor to secure a commission or maxi-mum rate bill. He couldn't see any ob-jection to getting both, and thought thata careful reading of the plank wouldshow that it endorsed Mcßride clearthrough, commission and all, but hewould accept the amendment.

E. T. Coinan said that if the membersof the convention knew what considera-tion had been given the subject in thecommittee room they would vote theamendment down. One hour and fiftyminutes had been devoted to discussionof the plank and its phraseology, andthe result was finally attained by eachside conceding a little. The plank, hethought, coincided with Ettinger's views.

John Canutt compared the two hour*devoted to it by the committee to thesix years' thought he had given the sub-ject and declared that we must say whatwe want aud mean what we say. Theway to support the governor was tosupport his measure, and if failure resuited, then try for some other goodmeasure. There was no reason why thelanguage and intent should not be madeclear.

Lillis -P. Smith called for another read-ing of the plank and said that what wewant is a reduction of rates, and hedidn't care by what method it was se-cured, so long as it was honest. He be-lieved that the railroads, as a result ofthe proposed conference of farmers, ship-pers and railway presidents, would re-duce the rates materially, and announced"hat Mr. Coolidge, secretary of the meet-ing that extended invitations to thepresidents, had that morning received aletter in reply to the one addressed toPresident Mohler of the 0. R. & X., ac-cepting the invitation. He also an-nounced that it had been authorativelystated that President Hill of the GreatNorthern would come and talk the mat-ter over.

J. C. Lawrence asserted that the decla-ration must mean support of the gov-ernor in what he propose*.

U. L. Ettinger produced the platformadopted by the Walla Walla republicansand asked to be shown any mention ofGovernor Mcßride in the document. Heread the supplementary resolutions,which he dtclared slapped the governorin the face. A point of order was raisedat this juncture, and the convention wasin an uproar, but the delegates desiredto hear itout and the speaker continued.He said, "Are you going to allow WallaWalla or King county to make yourplatform ? " The reeponse was "No ! ""No ! " from different parts of the houne.

Finally the question on the amend-ineat was put and carried amid cheersand shouts, and the amended platformwas then adopted unanimously, withrenewed demonstrations. A delegatesuggested that a rising vote be taken,alleging that the democrats in the backof the house were voting. The chair-man remarked that there were notenough democrats to affect the result ifthey all voted, and the delegates kepttheir seats. The platform follows :

Republican Platform.I. We most heartily endorse the adminiH-

tration-i of President Theodore Roosevelt,Governor Henry Mcßride, and that of ourseveral national, state and county officials.We particularly commend their vigilance insafeguarding the interests of the people andtheir efforts to enforce the laws impartially,without fear or favor.

11. We affirm our allegiance to the!principles of the republican party as enunciat- jed in the Philadelphia platform, and call at- •

tention to the fact that the republican party jis the only national political organization that jhas had a definite policy which has been en- Iacted into legislation for more than forty iyears.

111. We commend the action of our Ben- jI ator, Addison G. Foster, and Congressmen i

William L. Jones and Francis W. Cuahman, !for their energetic and successful work in se- jcuring liberal appropriations for the improve- jment of rivers and harbors of the state ofWashington, and also for the erection of

j suitable public buildings in the principalcities of the state, that the governmentalaffairs may be administered in quarters com-porting with the dignity and wealth of thenation.

IV. We deplore the untimely death of ournoble and much beloved president, WilliamMcKinley, who was stricken down in the lineof public duty by the cowardly hand of ananarchist assassin.

V. We favor the election of United Statessenators by the direct vote of the people, andinstruct the members of oar state delegationto use their best efforts to secure the adoptionof such a plank in our state platform.

VI. We approve of the preliminary stepstaken to survey the Columbia river with theview of having that great waterway open fornavigation from Lewiston to the sea. Weurge that this work be pushed to speedy com-pletion, believing that such will result in anequalization of freight rates as will be of per-manent benefit to the producers and shippersof thia state.

VII. We approve of the bill for an inter-oceanic canal that has been passed by a re-publican congress, and we urge its early com-pletion, in order that the Pacific northwest

, may have access to the rich markets of theeastern states and the various foreign coun-tries bordering on the Atlantic ocean.

Mil. We heartily commend the pofiflf ofGovernor Henry Mcßride in his opposition tothe railroad lobby, the railroad merger andthe pass evil, and pledge him our earnest andactive mpport in his ri^ht to maintain therights of the shipper as >. gainst the unjust ex-actions of the railroads. We further pled Keour le^slators to first support a railroad com-mbmoß bill drawn in the interests of theshipper, and this failing, then a maximumW rate blli car«TinK a rate not to exceed

| •"'[••&I per ton; and any and all measureswhich promise to give the greatest and mostspeedy relief to the shipper. We furtherpledge and instruct the delegates to the stateconvention to work first, last and all the time

I for the incorporation in the state platform ofj a plank embodying the sentiments of Gov-ernor Mcßride in regard to railroad legisla-tion.

IX. We are also in favor of the passage ofa law, in compliance with our constitution,making it offense punishable by fine, miprwonnient, or forfeiture of office, of any pub-he official to accept a free pass or ticket, or tobuy a ticket or pass at a discount, other thanas sow! to the public generally; and making itan offense, punishable by tine and imprison-ment, for any one connected with any rail-road or other transportation company to give,or to offer to give, a free paes or ticket toany public official, or to sell, or offer to sell, tohim a ticket or pass at a discount other thanaR Bold to the public generally; and to therapport of «uch a measure we pledge the hon-est and hearty effort of our legislativenominees.

X. We pledge our legislative delegation towork with the friends of Governor Mcßridein organizing the house and senate along thelino of his efforts to secure railroad legisla-tion.

XI. We believe that a creat burden restsupon the people by reason of the great ex-pense of moving our products to railroad orwharf by reason of the deplorable conditionof our public roads. We demand a revisionof our road law, that permanent aud scientificroad building along definite lines can be car-ried out throughout the state. We pledgeour candidates for county commissioner to re-peal the obnoxious ruling that each individualland owner shall be compelled to work outhis road tax in person

XII. We believe that banks should becompelled to make some return for the use ofpublic funds, and urge upon the legislaturethe passage of an act permitting the board ofcounty commissioners to designate such de-positories, and requiring them to secure thecounty in double the amount of the deposit.

Senator Must Be in Line.After the adoption of the platform the

following resolution was introduced by0. L. Ettinger, who declared that acrisis had qeen reached in the strugglefor control:

Resolved, That we, the republicans ofWhitman county, in convention assembled,hereby pledge each and all of the legislativenominees of this convention not to vote forany man for the office of United States sen-ator who is opposed to Governor Mi-Bride'sp >licy on the railroad question.

F. W. Bier spoke in favor of the reso-lution. He thought that maybe therailroad tight had become a little bitter,but it was an important question, andif the fight was not won now, would besome iime, and he supported this effortcheerfully.

The resolution was adopted with nodissenting votes.

State Convention Delegates.The next order of business was the

election of delegates to the Btate con-vention. Thirty-two nominations weremade, and on motion it was decidedthat the 2'\ names receiving the highestnumber of votes should constitute thedelegation.
