PROXIES TO BE RULED OUT.
The committee reported, also, a resolu'
ton to the effect that in future proxies
shall not be allowed in the Democratic
County Convention of Eureka.
Mr.. Wilson moved the adoption Of the
whole report as read.
Mr.. Beatty objected to the resolution
part Of the report, and argued that to
sweep way proxies altogether would in
many cases deprive parts of the county of
their proper representation, as it happens
always that there are some delegates who
cannot attend.
Mr.. Baker said he did not favor the res
o~lution, but the resolution was offered
with the view that if proxies were not to
be allowed there should be explicit notice
Of it before the next primary elections.
Mr.. Quad spoke sharply against the
proxy system. "Some candidates" said
he, "have more proxies in their pockets
han votes at their command" He in
stanced the action OF the last Democratic
Convention Of the County Of Sacramento,
which refused to admit proxies, to
strengthen his argument.
Mr.. Beatty withdrew his motion.

compose the State Central Committee.
Mr.. Baker seconded tho motion. say
ing, "Let the candidates manage their
own affairs; let them make their own
fight, and then II they get left they will
have nobody to blame but themselves"
Mr., Beatty: 'This is all right; but
where will the committee be during the
next two years. Those who get loft will
not be on it,"
Mr.. Baker thought IL any one on the ticket
got cleft" he would still be a Democrat.
Mr.. Sadler suggested a poser with the
question: Here the Central Committee
il TO be nominated first and to be com
posed of candidates nominated. Yet the
candidates under the motion adop ted will
not be known until after the nominations
are made. What are you going to do about
it," Laughter.
