OLIVE BRANCH HELD' OUT
Surface Harmony Prevails at Con
tention in Seattle; Cottrell Beaten
for State Secretary
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 14. (Spe
cial.) While the major political par
ties were selecting- their nominees
Jn the state-wide primary today, dele
Kates assembled at the Labor temple
under call of the new farmer-labor
party and nominated candidates for
presidential electors. United States
senator, conrrass and all state, coun
ty and legislative offices to be voted
next November. . f
The convention -was mad up of
delegates representing1 the several
units that met at Yakima In July to
formulate a political programme. Un
der the call, 331 delegates were en
titled to seats and 155 responded- to
theur names, according to the report
of the credentials committee. Twenty
four counties were represented. The
non-partisan league, the committee
of 48, the workers' non-partisan league
and the triple alliance were the units
most conspicuously active in the ere
ation of the new party. The rail
way men's welfare league, wflich also
met aw Yakima, did not participate,
nor was It recognized in any manner.
directly or Indirectly.
Olive Branch In Evidence.
David C. -Coates. state chairman of
the farmer-labor party, was elected
"permanent chairman of the conven
tion, and C. R. Cottrell of Kent, a
former officer of the old triple alli
ance, permanent secretary. Cottrell
placed Coates in. nomination, which
was fbllewed -by the nomination of
Cottrell for secretary by a member
of the Coates organization. This wae
an indication that the olive branch
was very much in evidence, inasmuch
aa Cottrell and the Coates-Short fac
tions had a falling out several months
ago which nearly disrupted the triple
alliance. Surface harmony- p'revk.iled
throughout the deliberations, al
though when it came to the nomina
tion of state officers Cottrell" was de
feated for secretary of state by a
vote of 134 to 253. Mayor C. A. Harlin
of Wenatchee, a retired butcher, win
ning. King county voted 41 for Harlin
to H tor Cottrell, and Pierce county
voted 22 for Cottrell to 4& votes
for Harlin. '
The convention delegated to a nom
inating committee the task, of sub
mitting a list of recommendations
and with but two exceptions the re
port of the committee was adopted
by the convention. Robert Adair of
Olympia. a former' employe of the
state industrial insurance commission,
was' nominated for state auditor over
G. I. Maeten of Tacoma, a railway
employe, and Elmer. 3. Smith of Cen
tralia, who was one of the defend
ants acquitted in the trial of the men
charged with the "armistice day mur
ders." was nominated for attorney
peneral over Charles B. Sampley of
Bellina-ham. who had received the
Vilo-hmt vote in the committee.
Unanimity marked, the remainder of
the nominations alter tne coniesia
had been decided.
tieoKraphical Lines Drawn.
Geographical considerations dic
tated some of the nominations, and
there was a general tendency on the
part of the committee and the dele
gates to make an equitable distribu
tion of the offices among the consoli
dated units represented in the new
party. . The farmers' non-partisan
league was recognised In the nomina
tion of Robert Bridges for governor
E. W. Bowles of Prosser for lieuten
ant-governor and S. J. Smyth of
Goldendale for commissioner of pub
lie lands. Organized labor named C.
J. France -for United States senator
and James A. Duncan' for congress in
the First district; the private sol
dier3 and sailors' league obtained the
nomination of Its state , organiser.
Frank Pease, for state treasurer; so
cialists probably will be charged with
-thp nomination of C. A. Harlin of
Wenatchee for secretary of state; the
state arrange is represented by the
nomination of A. M. Mecklam of Ta
coma for Insurance commissioner, and
women got four, of the seven presi
dential electors and the nomination
for superintendent of public instruc
tion The scattered elements in
which all may claim a share, have
Robert Adair, nominated for state
auditor; Elmer S. Smith for attorney
general and three presidential electors
to their credit. Paul i-. aionr or seat
tie started the . machinery that put
the name of Smith on the ballot.
The committee on platform and res-
olutiojis was composed of Oliver T.
Kriekson, chairman; William Short,
Seattle; A. W. Swigert, Yakima; H
M. Caven, Kitsap; James A. Duncan
King; Charlea Browar, Snohomish; J
C Kingsbury. Grays Harbor; H. E.
Niekoli. Yakima, and W. J. Lewis,
Spokane county.
Bridges I Acclaimed.
Robert Bridges, selected at the
Yakima convention as the choice of
r.eary all the participating groups as
their candidate for governor, received
the nomination by acclamation yes
terday. C. J. . France defeated C. J
Chamberlain of Fuyallup for nomlna
tion as United States senator.
C. P. Bush of Clarke county, Who
presided -over the convention of th
farmers non-partisan league at Yak
ima, was defeated tor lieutenant gov
crnor by E. W. Bowles of Prosser.
Bush was a member of the populist
legislature in 1897 when Bridges was
state land commissioner, and this
point was urged in his favor on the
floor by the delegate who submitted
his name. Senator Iverson of Pouls-
bo, Kitsap county, waa defeated for
the same nomination, after he had
made an impassioned speecU defend
ing his record In the last legislature
O. I. Masten of Tacoma. who received
the highest vote in the nominating
committee for auditor, was not pres
ent at the convention, nor had h
communicated to any of the delegates
a desire to go on the. ticket.
Defeat Traced to Row.
The defeat of Chamberlain for nom
ination as United States senator may
be traced. In part, to hia row with
William Short, president of the fed
eration of labor, at the time Cottrell
and Short clashed. Chamberlain later
went over to the non-partisan league
and was not active in triple alliance
quarters.
Jean vStovall. speaking for the
women, urged the nomination of Rev.
M. H. Marvin for lieutenant-governor.
Marvin made a plea for harmony, de
claring that the report of the nomi
nating committee should be ratified
if possible, Inasmuch as the committee
had given close attention to the prob
lem of geography in the distribution
of the offices. He withdrew his name.
Bridges pledperl the influence if
hi-; of i'"e. if e'tcted. to preserving the
guaranU.ea udder, tb.6 -constitution e
the -right of free speech, free assem
blage .and free press, and promised to
make war on monopoly in every form.

Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce are Intent upon . bringing in
dividual members Into more, active
work for the upbuilding of industry,
expansion of trade and the accom
plishment of the diversified objects
toward which a civic organization is
called upon to direct its energies.
With this purpose in view it was
dcldd to create a committee on
committees that will have as Its spe
cial function the selection of special
committees to deal with the problems
that arise from time to time. Roy T.
Bishop, who has been taking a very
active part in the activities of the
board since iis election at the last
annual meeting, was named chairman
of this committee and will select the
other members.
A report received from the mem
bership committee at the Monday
night meeting of the directors shows
that the membership now stands at
more than 3600, the highest number in
several years. The committee Is dili
gently engaged in the effort to bring
the .total up to more than 4000.
While the directors have found their
time pretty well occupied with the
larger problems that have been under
consideration, it has been their de
sire to have many other matters
threshed out and carried forward
with vigor. This it is hoped to accom
plish with the co-operation of a large
number of members dividing their at

SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 14. (Spe

a pretty Canadian bride, was weeping
penitent tears in the city jail today.
where she was charged with having
deluged Seattle department stores
with worthless checks.
"I did it because I wanted pretty
clothes," she sobbed to detectives.
Her husband earns $40 a week.
which, she says, is not -enough to
provide the luxuries she craves. The
girl has iever rcen in trouble before,
has no police record, and her very
evident unsophistication moved the
usually hard and skeptical detective
force today to shield her from in
quisitive reporters.
With her husband, she lives at the
Imperial hotel. Fourth avenue and
Union street. Her home is in Quebec,
Canada. She was married four months
ago. .. ..
Store detectives, co-operating with
the police, have been trying .to traee
the bad-check passer for several
days. The girl's arrest came through

at one of the downtown stores with
one of her worthless checks, and
which she was wearing.
When arrested Mrs. Stuart attempt

broke down. At first her only reply
to police qvestlons was:
"I don't know why I did it. I must
have been crasy."
But later she admitted that it was
her irresistible longing for "easy
money" and luxuries which turned
her from the "straigo-and narrow'
pain.

Oregon-Made Products Preferred,
but Admits Contract With
lastera Concern.
nenial of the charges' that he
showed discrimination against Ore-g'on-made
products in his purchases
made for the city of Portland was
made yesterday by John X. Cooper, as
sistant purchasing agent of the city.
The charges were brought by the
Coast Chemical company, in a letter
to Mayor Baker.
Mr. Hooper explained that he had
entered into an agreement with the
Portland representative of an eastern
chemical company for the acceptance
of several barrels -of liquid soap on
assignment, and that Instead of stor
ing any large amount of the soap,
fhe city had only accepted .several
barrels.
'I have lived in Portland for -16
years" said Mr. Hooper "and have al
ways .favored home products, in my
officill capacity with the city I have
always favored the purchase of Ore
ron-made goods, and in the case of
liquid soap it .was my intention, at
the expiration of the agreement with
the eastern concern this week, to
purchase a supply of soap from an
Oregon concern."
