POLITICAL FRAUD CHARGED Attempt to btampede for Brjin Pit- rlpltates Riot State leader Hurls AcrowitloTiB f "Crime." Delegates I'nplcdged. ent to th National convention from th Third District aa a Clark delegate and when beaten, swung over to the Wlleon-Bryan forces. As Ses ions Is a former Palouaer and the Whitman County delegation was solid for Clark, there was considerable fee Ins; shown between Southeastern Washington delegates over the Sessions episode. Thomas it. Vance, of Olympla, cj Asslstant Attorney-General, and a well-known Democratic orator, after- dinner speaker and attorney, who had earlier In the day precipitated the more that seated both King County ariegatlons as a compromise measure, also was responsible for the poll of the con rent Ion on Presidential preference. He succeeded In an attempt to elect all bit four of the IS half-vote convention delegates by Congressional districts, by pointing out the fact that unless the majority were elected by the state at lpg. the convention would lose con trol of them. Vex President Tarbnlrat. With that matter out of the way and settled in Clark's favor. Vance moved that the convention express Its prefer ence) for Presidential candidates. The rolicall was ordered without discussion snd Bryan began picking up stray votes early on th rolicall. but only had 4 when the last ounty was called. Then Sessions switched Lincoln, which had voted II for Clark and six for Wilson, over to the Bryan column with an Impassioned declaration that all Democrats could vot for the man who was certain to he nominated at Baltimore. Cheers greeted the statement, and Wilson delegates near the front of th convention leaped to their feet and be gan waving hats. Chehalls switched one vote and Ferry tossed seven Into the Bryan column, both changing from Wilson. Both changes were greeted with cheers, amid which Sessions tried to continue his speech. His voice was drowned by cheering and calls of de rision from the Clark supporters, and Sessions made his way to the platform In another attempt to speak. Chana-ea fosse Fast. The Clark delegations, meanwhile, sat quietly in their seats, though there was manifestly a deep undercurrent of feel ing that was making Clark leaders un easy. Chairman Dill attempted to still the audience and managed to hear Gar field switch one from Wilson to Bryan. Jeffernon changed one from Clark and lx from Wilson to Bryan; Kitsap iwung half Ita delegation, six votes, from Wilson to Bryan; Pierce changed 11 from Wilson to Bryan, and one from Wilson to Clark. while Thurston switched seven from Wilson to Bryan and Whatcom made the same switch a ltd 27. Pacific threw a damper over the en thusiasm by switching four from Wil son to Clark, giving the Mlssourtan Its solid delegation: Jefferson swung seven to Clark from Wilson, and North Yaki ma's three , Wilson men added their rotes to ten already given Clark. Todd Is "Railroaded" Oat. The crowd began to quiet and Paul J'atttson mad himself heard In a vig orous warning to Clark followers that the stamped was unsuccessful. Then the excitement died out altogether and. though Chairman Dill asked whether more changes were coming, none was announced. At a critical period during the ex citement Hugh C. Todd, who stayed In the convention for the Wilson men of King County, to cast 63 votes., at tempted to get the chair's attention and switch his support from Wilson to Bryan. Chairman Dill did not see him. and Todd hesitated uncertainly for a few minutes. A crowd of Clark men In the delegation surrounded hlml and hustled him out of the way. av for the fact that the entire morning was spent In settling th Adams and King County contest that had tied up the state committee and the credentials committee until 3 o'clock this morning, today's session of the Democratic convention moved fairly rapidly. H. D. Merrltt Eakarrum leader. The so-called Rltzvllle delegation was seated from Adams County on a viva voc vot after 40 minutes of ora tory for both skies. IL D. Merrltt. of Fpokane. chairman of th credentials committee, and a Clark leader, made what afterward proved to be an em barrassing speech while pleading for the Flltivllle delegation. He railed at tention to the fact that the credentials committee had voted. 32 to 13. to seat this delegation and demanded that the convention sustain a majority of th commltte. The King County contest followed. In which the Clark leaders wanted to defeat the majority report, and Merrltt' speech was an embar rassing Incident to explain away. Twenty of the credentials committee members recommended the seating of the so-called primary delegation from King Connty. while 14 urged that the men selected by the county committee he given seats. T. M. Vance, of Thurs ton, moved as a substitute that both delegations be seated with a vote each, and on this motion the fight was made and won by the Clark leaders. rtterlll Makes Appeal. Half an hour's time was given both King County tactions to make presen tation of their rase and th primary delegation or Wilson faction appealed to the convention through Mayor tieorge F. Cotterlll. Just as It bad done before the credentials committee In the early morning. Cotterlll made an im passioned appeal for tbe support of "progressive measures, holding that t'ic Wilson delegation should be seated because It held a preferential primary of Its own. Cotterlll roundly denounced the county committee and was given a demonstrative reception In which th gallery was more enthusiastic than th delegates on th floor. The King County delegation finally v as seated. 323 to 8:1. Tfvre was a fight over one section f the credentials committee report that compelled delegations on whom the unit rule had been placed by their county conventions to cast a solid vote. Leaders of th opposition t Clark tried to defeat this .recommendation because it tied up a number of Wood row Wilson votes In delegations where Clark had a bar majority. The rule, however, was adopted. Organisation Made Permanent. The report of the committee on per manent organisation made the officers of the temporary organisation perma nent. One recommendation for the elec tion of 14 delegates and 14 alternates was changed to provide for the selec tion of 5S delegates to the National Convention, each having half a vote. Wilson leaders tried to allot eight of these delegates to each of the three Congressional districts and choose four at large, but Clark leaders sounded a warning In time and limited the dis trict selections to four apiece, 16 being chosen at large. After a short fight over the adoption of the platform and the Indorsement of Champ Clark, delegates to the National Convention were elected as follows: First Congressional District Will H. Merrltt. Seattle; Jere Neterer, Belllng ham; John Bird. Monroe; R. L Davis. Ml Vernon. Second District M. A. Inghorne. Tacoma: Frank Donahue. Chehalls: J. A. Munday, Vancouver; Elriridge Wheeler. Montesano.

Spo- schedule of that bill to be utterly In defensible the President, nevertheless, signed the measure and gave It the fore of law. The people theft turned to the Democratic party for relief from these Iniquities and elected a Demo cratic House. In response to the de mands of the people this Democratic House passed a bill reducing the tariff tax upon woolen goods; but In response to the demands of the monopolies and protected industries, the President vetoed this measure of reform. Our Democratic Representatives have again undertaken a revision of the most Im portant schedules of the present In iquitous tariff In the hope that their labors In behalf of the people will not again be rendered abortive by the act of a standnat executive. We heartily indorse and commend the action of the Democratic party In these efforts of reform In overthrowing Cannonlsm" and restoring to the people their repre sentative form of government In the popular branch of Congress. Third The uninterrupted rule of th Republican party In this state has led Republican officials to become so bold In the administration of our state af fairs that we witness Inefficiency, waste, extravagance, dishonesty and corruption In many department of the Government, both state and county. This extravaganoe and dishonesty have led to Increased burdens of taxation, to tbe loss of millions of dollars to the state through bartering away of Its school lands at ridiculously-low prices, thus robbing the school and educational institutions of the state of tfielr Just heritage; and we urge the Immediate passage of a law vesting in the boards of regents of our several GEESHAM COUPLE, WHO MARRIED AND ELOPED TO OREGON IN 1852, CELEBRATE 60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. nYVYTVYVs , oonoooooo :iiiruirni: I J- lit 111111111 MR.

PLANKS ADDED TO PLATFORM Original Draft Not Assrosfivo Enough. Changes Arc Mailt. CONVENTION HALI, Walla Walla. Wash, Mar " (Special.) Last night's work of the Democratic platform com mittee did not suit the Gubernatorial candidates who had flocked to the con vention city and while the convention fought this morning over the Adams and King County contests, the com- Itte waa reconvened and the plat form entirely rewritten. There was not enough aggressive ness in the original draft to suit L. F. Chester, of Spokane: E. C. Million, of Seattle: Hugh C. Todd, of Seattle,- and W. H. Dunphy. of Walla walla, to whom the platform had been submitted overnight. All the original declarations of the platform were contained in the second draft, but the document was made stronger and far longer than It was In Ita original state. The question of an Indorsement of Democratic lead ers, which the Bourbon platform makers dodged last night, was taken up thla morning and Bryan's name, which was omitted yesterday. was taken up today. When the platform was carrldd to the floor of the convention this after noon the name of Grover Cleveland was added to the list of Democratic Presi dents whom th party In Washington especially commended. Cleveland's name wa added at Pierce County's suggestion. An attempt waa made to eliminate the Indorsement of the Palouse Irriga tion project and a demand that boards of regents for educational Institutions be given control over their land grants, but these attempts failed. As it final ly was adopted the Democratic state platform reads: "J. The Democrats of the State of Washington, in convention assembled, reaffirm our allegiance to the princi ples enunciated in the Democratic Na tional platform adopted at Denver In l?0i and hereby declare our faith In the spirit of true Democracy as exem plified In the Ufa and teachings of Thomas Jefferson. Andrew Jackson. Grover Cleveland. William Jennings Bryan and other great leaders of our party. "3. The Republican party lias been Intrenched In power so long that it has become bold in its iniquities, un responsive to the welfare of the masses and subservient to the trusts, corpora tions and special Interests. Its his tory presents a story of broken prom ises. Insincerity and lack of fidelity to the Interest of tke people. It suspended popular government in the House of Representatives by a system of rules which vested arbitrary and autocratic power In the Speaker; It created and imposed upon the people a system of wasteful extravagance unparalleled In the history of any country. It haa not only permitted tbe establishment of monopoly, but gave executive sanc tion to the destruction by the greatest trust on earth of Its most potential rival. It Is directly responsible for th existence of that vast system of combination and control which has raised the prices of living to the point where the actual necessities of life are almost beyond the reach of the great Industrial classes. Tartar Presalaee Asaalled. Tn the last National election It went before the people promising a correc tion of Its own iniquities. It promised a revision of the tariff: and In viola tion of the promise It gave the peo ple, that monstrosity known as the Aldrlch-Payne tariff bill which Im posed a high tn on the necessities of life for the benettt of the favored few. Declaring th most Important state educational institutions the con trol of the land grants belonging thereto.
