Mr. Barclay. Carried.

The candidates appeared and
defined their positions, with the
exception of DIR. Head. Each one
was asked by some member of the
Convention If he had voted for the
New Constitution. Mr.. Scott, who
was sponsor for Mr.. Gelwicks, was
uncertain how he voted. Mr.. Cor
don voted for it. Gen. Chapman
voted against 1t. Mr.. del Vale
voted against it. Mr.. Fisher, of
the Outlook, stated that he
was not candidate and
begged that he might be excused.
He thought that the faithful editor
of a country paper held ss high a
position as a legislator. "Did he
vote for the new Constitution"
He started out opposing 1t, but
found he was wrong and tackled.
He told the story of the pigs which
were Wings until they got their
eyes opened and then were DEM
ocrats. He had supported the New
Constitution and refused coin to
oppose it. Cheers and laughter.
The Chair declared that ballOting
for Assemblymen, the two candi-
dates to be nominated at the same
time, was now In order. The vote
stood as follows: Gordon, 81; Chap
man, 36; Del Vale, 63; Gelwicks,
20; scattering, &. Messrs. Del Vale
and Gordon were declared the
nominees.
Mr.. Del Vale on being called to
the stand second time thanked
the Convention feelingly for the
unexpected honor conferred by
his nomination. He was DEM
ocrat and, if elected, should devote
his whole energies to carrying out
the principles of the party and to
advancing the interests of the peO-
Pile of Los Angeles. He said he had
opposed the adoption of the new
Constitution for. the reason that he
thought the old Constitution, with
certain amendments, ample for the
needs of the State. But, as the new
instrument had been adopted, his
interests required that he should
use every effort to carry out its pro-
visions, both in letter and in spirit.
Mr.. Del Valle's remarks were re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause.
