M.r.hll 5533 S"STTr "T MARK .TWAIN FORMULA 'T XL'. SEATTLE, Wash., May 21. (Spe cial.) Democratic politicians admit 1 they do not know how their delega tion elected to represent this state at the national convention in. San Fran- I Cisco on June 28 will vote. They do not! snow whether the delegation will vote as a unit and nobody is making any serious effort to find out about It. As for the delegation itself, no at tempt will be made to caucus again before everybody reaches San Fran cisco and the committee plums are Kiven out at a meeting set down for June 27, the day before the convention opens. The delegation contains members "of virtually every faction of democ racy In the state, so it never could be bound to a unit rule that would tie it up on everything. It might, by common consent, agree to some presi dential programme, but if any part of the delegation tried to veer off from the middle-of-the-road course on a presidential issue it is not at .all certain the whole delegation would follow. That is. the entire delegation could not be induced to go to either extremely radical or an extremels' conservative length on issues or can didates. McAdoo First t holce. In a casual way expressions of sym pathy for different presidential can didates have been given by members of the' delegation. William Gibbs -VIcAdoo has the first-choice support of a big majority, and very likely if McAdoo' appears to be "programme" there will not be much demurring on the part of any member of the dele gation. But Governor Cox of Ohio has friends on the delegation who be lieve there is no doubt he ultimately will be the convention choice. And there Is a good sprinkling of sup porters of William Jennings Bryan, together with a few democrats who have no further use for Bryan polit ically, except to hope that he sup ports the nominee of the convention. Then, too, there is declared to be one warm advocate of the nomination of Governor Edwards of New Jersey and there are some other delegates who though concurring with some of Governor Edwards' well-known views on paramount issues, nevertheless hesitate to make public declaration, of their confidence in the rectitude of his position. National Committeeman Titlow has been declared to be favorable to the nomination of Attorney - General Palmer, but the delegation is any thing but a Palmer force. It is doubt ful whether the Washingtonians would seriously consider Palmer un less the Idea was presented to them by an influential outsider. The move ment would not start from within. Cox Strong- Second. . A. Tioll of the convention that selected the delegation to the na tional convention showed on straw vote ' that it was overwhelmingly pro-McAdoo, with Governor Cox as second choice for president and an overwhelming favorite for vice-president. This was an unofficial poll, and In no way bound the delegation, but it is believed that if the conven tion felt that way about the presi dential fight, sentiment among the ueiesraces proDauiy rung tn the same proportions. The last time this state sent a democratic delegation to a national convention to select a presidential delegate was in 1912, for the crowd of 1916 was sent east merely to ratify a choice already made. The 1912 dele gation was tied up by a unit rule that could not be broken in the Baltimore convention and it is a well-known fact that some members of the dele gation fought desperately to breal the instructions. Some and possibly all of the delegation would have swung over to Wilson much earlier but for the convention tie that bound them together. If the representa tives at ban Francisco wish to do so they will be free at any time to break up into fractional parts and vote for as many candidates as they choose.

With the express object of co-operating- with other retailers and with the public in the endeavor to bring shoe prices back to normal we have re marked our entire stock at discounts ranging- from 10 to 40, regardless of the fact that every pair of shoes is absolutely new and has just been placed on the shelves of this recently opened store. The very latest models in I. Miller Shoes for all occasions, are included.
