The Clarke county Work ers' Non-Partisan league, at a special meeting held In the Labor temple last night, voted unanimously not to re turn to the fold of the Triple Alliance. rom which organisation It pulled out shortly after the first state con vention held in Seattle the first of this year.

This convention will be made up of the Railroad Wel fare Workers league, the Independent Voters' league, the Triple Allianc-J, the Committee of 48, the Workers' Non-Partisan league and the Farm ers' Non-Partisan league.

Moran. local secretary oi ine Workers' Non-Partisan league, was one of the five delegates and he and i the others left today for Yakima to attend the convention. j President Short Loses Klffht. William Short, president of the State Federation of Labor, of Seattle, was here recently and made a strenu ous attempt ' to bring about the re turn of the Clarke County Workers' Non-Partisan league to the Triple Al liance, but in vain. When the propo sition came up last night, after all other business had been disposed of, it was voted unanimously to remain out of the Triple Alliance. The Triple Alliance is made tip or three organizations railroad workers. the industrial workers and unionists, and the farmers. The workers far outnumber the farmers and the rail road workers and could outvote both of the other organizations in conven tion. A method has been adopted, called the unit rule, permitting each organization to vote on a proposition in its own meeting. in the lripie Alliance meetings, one vote is cast for each of the three organizations. Any two organizations could outvote the other one on any question proposed If they so desired. Former Action Sustained. Mr. Short in the state convention held a number of months ago, an nounced he was opposed to unit rule. The Vancouver delegation at the con vention, led by C. H. Moran, made a fight against Short, who was chair man of the convention. Later, as a result of this fight, the Clarke County Workers' Non-Partisan league with drew from the Triple Alliance, and at the meeting held last night again voted to sustain their action. At the recent county convention of the Non-Partisan League it was voted that the league would support cer. tain candidates on the old line tickets in the primaries, selecting men whom they believe favorable to their cause.
