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.

and on the ground that it was not

Brown once more to the floor with

without addition or amendment of
any kind, was adopted as reported
by the committee. The platform fol

the fact that since the incapacity of Gov-
ernor Lister, early in the year of mm. tne
moneys raised by general taxation have
been increased approximately 100 per cent
aside from excise, impost and head taxea
This burden is more than the people can
bear. 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.

English Papers Wonder What Will
Be Result of Alliance of
Bail Leaders.
LONDON, May 24. (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."
Irish on Way to London. '
LONDON. Majr 24. (By the- Asso
ciated Press.) -Representatives of
the Irish provisional government are
coming to London Thursday night for
a conference with representatives of
the British cabinet concerning the
agreement reached last Saturday
between the two Irish political fac
tions. The announcement was made
this afternoon in the house of com
mons by Austen Chamberlain, the
government leader.
De Valera Father of Twins.
DUBLIN, May 24. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Mrs. Bamon de Va
lera, wife of the republican leader
today gave b'rth to twin boys, and
Mrs. Charles Burgess, wife of the
former minister of defense in Mr. De
Valera's cabinet and a prominent op
ponent of the Anglo-Irish treaty,
gave birth to a daughter.
English General Shot.

Higgineon, who recently was. in com
mand of British infantry brigade at
Cork, was shot and wounded while

TACOMA, Wash., May 24. (Spe

oldest conductors in point of service
on the Milwaukee railroad, ended his
life by taking strychnine late last
night in a hotel here. ... . ...
