CONTROL RESTS OH KING COUNTY VOTE Roosevelt Forces Confident of Control of Washington Convention. TAFT MEN HAVE PROTEST If Colonel's Delegations From Pierce and Snohomish Counties Are Seated, Roosevelt Will Have Total of 630 Votes. SEATTLE. Wash.. May 8. Assuming that the county conventions In Pierce and Snohomish counties, which were carried by Roosevelt In the precinct primaries, send solid delegations to the Republican state convention at Aber deen May 16. the Roosevelt forces will be In absolute control. Counting Pierce and Snohomish counties In the Roose velt column the division of 680 dele gatea from 37 of the 39 oountlea In the state Is: Roosevelt 250. Taft 122. La Toilette 7, unlnstructed 76. contested 175. Two counties, having 38 delegates have not reported. Roosevelt has a clear majority In the Third Congressional District and if the 111 Roosevelt delegates from King County, In the contested list, are seat ed, he will have the First District also. The race In the Second District, which Includes Pierce County. Is close, the division being: Taft 66. Roosevelt 61. unlnstructed 27, contested 8. One county having 1 delegates baa not re ported. If the Roosevelt men have absolute control of the state convention and Taft maintains his lead In the Second Dis trict. It la possible for the Roosevelt forces to prevent the President get ting the two delegates from the Sec ond District by having the convention order all delegates elected at large In stead of permitting the Congressional districts -to select two each, as arranged by the State Central Committee. SEASIDE SEEKS RULING COCRT DECISION CONSIDERED BEST OX CONSOLIDATION. Improvements Conld Start Sooner That Way Than by Election, It Is Argued. SEASIDE. Or May 8. (Special.) Recent action of the City Council has done much to establish the city gov ernment upon the firm basis occupied before the qurstion of the annexation of West Seaside came up. Since the Supreme Court decision held the annexation of St. Johns by Portland to be illegal. It was feared the absorbslon of West Seaside by Sea side would be considered a parallel case and similarly declared Illegal. However, the Seaside case has been considered a different one by City At torney Norblad. who affirms that In this case both cities voted favorably upon the subject of consolidation, which was not so in the other case. Seaside residents are anxious for the clearing up of legal difficulties, so the Water Commissioners svlll be empow ered to make the necessary extensions to the municipal water system. For the proper water necessary to supply both cities during the coming Sum mer, some expense must be undergone, which necessitates the confirmation of the present charter by either the Su preme Court of by the referendum In the November election. The report of Investigation by W. D. Kenton, of Portland, recently was dis cussed by the Council. It is Mr. Fen ton's opinion that there Is no doubt that the Supreme Court will legalize the consolidation. There was danger that the work of city Improvement and additions to the water system would be held up, but by a plan of City Attorney Norblad this has been avoided. By paying Interest on outstanding debts. Instead of paying them off Im mediately, enough money can be re tained in the city treasury to meet current expenses and carry on the work of Improvement. The old debts may then be paid at any time, since they are not questioned as to legal ity. The task of placing the question in the referendum requirea a considerable expense In getting out petitions, bincc few people In the state are concerned. It has been thought best to put the matter before the Supreme Court, al though the court la far behind In its calendar. Cltv Attorney Norblad Is of the opin Ion that this will be the most expedient method. He believes judgment can be rendered more quickly than tnrougn the referendum. Though tha consolidation question was a threatening one for a time. It Is felt that there will be no further dif ficulty. SPROULE GALLED EAST SOUTHERN PACIFIC PRESIDENT HAS WIDER, AUTHORITY.
