The question has been raised regarding
the eligibility of Hon. F. d. Ryan for the
Assembly. He was nominated from the
Eighteenth District by Republican Con-
vention. To remove all doubt regarding
the matter, and to save the Central Com
mittee from embarrassment, and the party
from possible loss, by reason OF his not
having resided full one year in the district
prior to election, Mr.. Ryan has resigned the
nomination, as his card given below ex-
plains. A card from the Republican County
Central Committee appears below also,
nominating for Assemblyman Winfield j.
Davis, at present Court Reporter for the SUI
perior Court of Sacramento, young man
brought up in this community and widely
known The public will indorse what MIR.
RYAN and the committee say OF Mr. DAVIS,
and will commend the manly action OF MIR.

To the Voters OF the Eighteenth assembly District
| have lately resigned my position on the Re
publican ticket as nominee for the Assembly
| from the Eighteenth District. For this act eX-
PLANTATION is due to those who did me the honor
J TO Dlace me in nomination. and to the many
! friends of both parties who have kindly assured
| me of their support. To these / return my SIN
| cere thanks, and beg them to understand that 1t
is not because of failure to appreciate the honor
| that have resigned, but rather because l reel
| the full importance of the position.
| Doubt has arisen whether my residence
| in the Eighteenth Assembly District has
| been sufficiently long 10 render me illegible to
| the Office and in order that you may have u
candidate against whom the constitutional OBJ
| lection of residence cannot be raised, have
| rendered my resignation.
fI,nY, cd IN
no possibility might the Republican party
| through me lose vote for United States Sena-
| tor; that by 10 possibility might the Eighteenth
Assembly District go unrepresented for Il single
| day in the Assembly, ard no Republican might
! feel that in casting a ballot for me he was
| throwing away his vote.
| Mr.. Winfield j. Davis has been nominated TO

and county. and Sacramento can well and
| safely intrust her interests in his hands as q
| legislator

his district, and l appeal to Republicans and
friends of every party TO join with me in assist
ing Mr.. Davis and giving him handsome ma
