VUa n, .V,. tn COLLINS VaLEHA .REPUBLICANS ARE LASHED Fervent Oratory Features AVash ington State Convention Storm Develops Over Platform. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Olympia, Wash., May 24. The red line on the chart of democratic hopes in the state of Washington took a sharp up ward slant in the course of the party's state convention held here today. Easily moved to enthusiasm by visions of what their party might do If restored to power in the state and nation, the assembled delegates spent almost the entire afternoon en thralled by the word pictures of their most eloquent orators. A platform was adopted. It was for this that the convention was held, but the platform was not presented until late in the day and its con tents had been fairly discounted in advance by the many speeches made vrhile waiting for Its presentation. This was not a nominating con vention. The direct primary prohibits anything of the sort, but in the ccurse of the day "and the many con ferences several candidates came more or less into the open, either by explicit declaration or by implica tion. C. C. Dill of Spokane, ex-represent-ntlve In congress, is now an avowed candidate for the United States sen ate. Aspirants Are Lining Vp. Francis A. Garrecht of Spokane, ex-district attorney, will be a candi date for the democratic nomination for congress from the fifth district. Guy O. Shumate of Yakima will be a candidate for a like nomination in the fourth district. George Fishburn of Tacoma is ex pected to seek the nomination for congress in the third district. Dem ocratic leaders are doing their best to prevail on William Short, presi dent o the state federation of labor, to be the party candidate for con gress in the first district Under the immediate influence and urging of old party friends and as sociates, Stephen J. Chadwick, ex chief justice of the supreme court, is said to have admitted his willingness to he the democratic nominee for governor in 1924. r-rewton M. Troy, democratic law yer, of Olympia, will seek election as a nonpartisan to the supreme court bench. These matters were none of the corveution's business, but they were very much the business of the demo crats brought together for the oc casion. Mayor-Elect Speechless. The convention didn't get a good start today. Dr. Edwin J. Brown, mayor-elect of Seattle, and selected lor temporary chairman, found him self speechless this morning for the first time in his life. He had. writ ten out what he wished to say and had lent the sole copy of his speech to. a newspaper correspondent who was in more of a hurry to get it than to return it. The delegates were kept waiting nearly an hour until the missing i-peech could be retrieved, and then it was not a good speech, in no wav comparable with some that Dr. Brown ras made when on familiar topics. Today it was apparent that the temporary chairman was playing ' off the home grounds and it was only when he turned away from his manu- script and talked off-hand that the convention pot a taste of his usual stvle. The promise of a short platform was fulfilled, though the committee keDt the convention waiting all after noon for it. Presumably the time was ' dpent by the committee in boiling iinmn the many suggested plajiks, but in this operation virtually all the promised spice and snap were evap orated. From 'the viewpoint of dele gates tuned up by fervent oratory until they were ready to roast the opposition party to a fine turn the work of the platform committee was distinctly disappointing. I. re Starts Something. Toward its close, when it was thought that the convention would end without an inharmonious moment. Wiilia R. Lee of Pierce sought to hve added to the platform a specific indorsement of the league of nations. The proposal, which had been rejected b:' the platform committee, brought A storm of protest and support rrom all sections of the hall. For half an hour the convention resembled an oid-time democratic gathering before the direct primary. Opposition to the plank, in view of thf. complete indorsement of Wilso- u:au punu.ca ui... ... n.-c j,.... and on the ground that it was not wen mat me piaiiorm ue.tiuiitreu up with national issues, brought Dr. Brown once more to the floor with an appeal for harmony. Lee then withdrew his plank, and the platform, without addition or amendment of any kind, was adopted as reported by the committee. The platform fol lows: . The democrats of the state of "Washing ton, in convention assembled, do hereby re affirm their faith in democratic prlncir pies as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson and so splendidly applied by Andrew Jack son, Grover Cleveland and vvoodrow AVil on.

The reputation of the state and the prosperity of Its people have been im periled by a wild orgy of expenditure - of public money. We pledge our candidates for the legislature to the practice of econ omy and a bona fide attempt to reduce tax levies and appropriations to the level of 1917. . -Pledge Made for Economy. We pledge our candidates for the legis lature to the duty of finding a way to spend less money rather than to the In centive moving the last republican legis lature the finding of new sources of rev enue to a lifting and not a shifting, of the burdens of taxation. We demand the repeal of the unjust and iniquitous poltax law and condemn the republican administration for Its deception in enacting the same under the guise of raising money to meet the payment of the soldiers' and sailors' bonus, at the same time levying a one-mill tax to meet such bonus and carrying the money raised under the poll tax into the general funds of the state. We demand the enactment and enforce ment of federal and state legislation that will destroy the narcotic evil and provide for the care and rehabilitation of its un fortunate victims and denounce the action of Governor Hart in vetoing the act drawn by the state prosecuting attorneys and passed by the 1021 legisalture designed for the suppression of this evil. Another Veto Denounced. We condemn the action of Governor Hart in vetoing the bill for the establishment of a women's industrial home and clinic and believe that proper economy in the en forcement of our state penal code and the protection of the morality of our people demand the reopening of that institution. We condemn the extra cost of govern ment under the so-called . ''administrative code," especially that part thereof known as the fish code, as revolutionary and despotic in that it delegates legislative, judicial and executive authority to an un- responslvle political commission. The moderation of the platform was in no way consonant witn tne speeches of the afternoon, wherein the republican party, its policies and Its leaders got all that was coming to them.. The convention might well have sent a committee to the office of Governor Hart to take the tem perature of the executive ears. It must have been high, for everything in the way of criticism and con demnation, that the platform leaves unsaid was fully covered by the speakers. - On the convention programme of the forenoon, after the keynotlng of temporary Chairman Brown, the place of honor was given to C. G. Dill, and it was at this time that he made first formal announcement of his candidacy for the senate. His whole text was the Newberry case, of which he has mastered every known detail and several more. Dill is going to tell the people all that he knows both before the republican primaries and thereafter in order surely to encompass the defeat of Senator Poindxter.

(By the Assd- ciated Press.) The latest develop ments in Ireland are regarded here as having added to the seriousness of the situation, and considerable anxiety is manifest as to the out come. The pact between Michael Collins and Eamonn de Valera, which was viewed with deep distrust by many from the outset, owing to the latter's avowed uncompromising hos tility to the Anglo-Irish treaty and the proposed constitution, now is re garded with increased suspicion in consequence of the Collins address before the Ard Fheis. (In his address, Mr. Collins said: "If, as has been said, this agreement imperils , the Anglo-Ireland treaty, we will have to face that in this manner. We have made an agree ment which will bring stable con ditions to the country, and If these stable conditions are not more valu able than any other agreement, then we must face what these stable con ditions will enable. us to face.") This is interpreted generally here as defiance of Great Britain and the Times' Dublin correspondent isays: "The statement is so grave that hasty comment upon it would be improper." The Dublin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph predicts that Great Britain 'will be confronted at the earliest possible Vioment with a de mand from the whole forces of the Dail Elreann for acknowledgment of Ireland as an independent republic, owing no allegiance to the empire and embracing the whole of Ireland." He adds: "The treaty from today is of little value. Collins in' his speech tor it to fragments and ' declared himself prepared to face the worst." The Morning Post's correspondent says the statement means that "if Great Britain objects to the pact on the ground that it violates the treaty, then Great Britain can go to the devil and take the treaty with it."
