ORDER OF BUSINESS.
The Committee on Order of Business
reported as follows through its Chair
man, Mr.. j.. Marion Brooks:
| The Committee on Order of Business

of the Convention be made permanent,
and that the nominations be made in the
following order:

Further recommended that after the
nomination for Surveyor the Convention
divide into District Conventions for nom
mating the other officers and that all
ballots be by roll call and that the chair
man of each delegation announce the
vote of his precinct. That each delegate
pay $100 toward the expenses OF the
Convention.
A motion that No. in the list of NOM
nations for Sheriff be changed to No. 3,
was accepted by the mover of the motion
to adopt the report.
Mr.. T. McCaffrey moved that the can
didates for nomination be assessed $500
each. Carried.
Mr.. j. M. Voss, of Rosedale, said as
member of the Committee he desired to
state that in his opinion the contest over
the nomination for Sheriff was the lea d.
ing contest before the Convention and
the Committee considered that in order to
hold the interest of the delegates it was
best to place that nomination toward the
last of the list. He could see no reason
why the nomination OF Sheriff should be
placed at the head.
Mr. j. A. Brewer said that he conced-
ed the fact that the nomination for this
office was one of the most important but
he wanted no jobbery, and if it was
placed No. in the list, it gave chance
for jobbery. He was in favor of placing it
as No. 3.
Mr.. j. M. Shawhan of Pasadena, said
tn at in the Committee he had proposed
that the nomination for Sheriff be placed
last on the list. a compromise had been
effected SO as to place it where it was in
the report. The Committee had been
actuated by nothing except a desire to
promote the best interests of the Con-
vention.
Judge Redick was surprised that Mr..
Brewer should think iobbery was pos
81 BILE in the Convention.
Mr.. j. NJ. Brooks said that the report
of the Committee had not been made in
the interest OF any one candidate, but in
the interest of the party that had ruled
the country for four years and would rule
it for four years more. He believed that
other nominations weresas important as
this one.
The question was then put as to
whether the motion should be adopted,
and it was declared lost.
Mr.. W. w. Jenkins then moved that
the report be accepted and the Commit
tee be discharged. Carried.
There was some question as to whether
the adoption of the report carried with
it the change of plan for the nomination
of Sheriff, the original mover of the mo-
ton to adopt having accepted the motion
to amend, but the Chair ordered the
nomination called in the order presented
by the Committee.
The Secretary then called the roll. and
the delegates responded with 81 each.
Judge Adams, Of Garvanza, moved
that the Chairman appoint two Vice
Presidents. Carried.
General Mathews appointed as Vice.
Presidents Judge R. Dunnigan and Judge
J. I. Redick.
The Convention decided that proxy
could not be held by person not dele
gate and resolution as follows was
adopted:
Resolved, That delegates leaving the
Convention may give proxy to a mem
ber of his delegation and that in case no
proxy is given the delegation may vote
for him.
SUPERIOR JUDGES.
General Mathews then declared that
nominations for Superior Judges for the
long term were in order.
Mr.. Mr.. Fordham rose and placed in
nomination Judges H. X. S. O'Melveny
and A. w. Hutton.
Judge Redick placed Judge w. P.
Gardiner in nomination with few COM
plimentary remarks. Judge Adams Sec
onded the nomination of Judge Gardiner.
Captain Mackay approved of the nomina-
ton of Judge O'Melveny and thought
that his name would add strength to the

the nomination Of Judge A. w. Hutton,
who he said was bound to be elected if
