Capt. C. Il. Thom said tkat the
County Central Committee should be
elected first, because every candidate
wants to know who the body of indi-
viduals is who is to control his destiny
and he wants to know also who the men
are that will control the campaign;
whether they are good Democrats, and
what his assessment is going to be. The

ence and also from Democratic stand
point.

amended, was carried.

man for Chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee, and Mr.. A.
Davis moved that nominations be closed
and that MIR. Hellman be nominated by
acclama.ion, which was done amid

Mr.. /. w. Hellman in a neat little
speech thanked the convention. He
said he had been Democrat for a great
naa.ber Of years aud hoped to remain so
during lifetime. The Democratic party
had nominated State ticket which
would surely be elected. The candidate
for Governor would alone in San
Francisco run 6000 votes ahead
of bis ticket. All the nominees of the
State ticket are deserving and will be
elected, as those Of this ticket will be
also, without a doubt. He said that
the Republicans two years ago promised
wonders, and inquired what they had
done They had raised taxation ON us
outrageousy. He urged the nomina.
ton OF good and worthy candidates, and
they would be elected by overwhelming
msjorities.
Captain Thom maintained that il the
suggestion was carried out the Republi.
cans would find out that the race was
not always TO the Swift. The Conven-
tion should select good men to back the
Chairman Of the County Committee and
success would be assured.

iuation for Secretary, and upon motion
Of B. Chandler the nominations closed

lively declined the honor conferred upon
