The convention should indorse a plat- form of state power conservation. Of course, there will be opposition to such a move. Wherever there are political meetings there are friends of the power trusts, paid and otherwise, who fight such action. In past conventions there has been a decided tendency to forget the power question. Anti-public ownership sym- pathizers would like to do so this year. But the power question is the big thing. King county wants action if for no other reason than to smoke out the power trust workers. G.O.P.
