Resolred, That in our judgment the Republi-

proper management of the Republican politics
of the Fourth Ward without assistance or dicta-

in the Fourth Ward primaries by so-called
workers, who are non-residents of the ward,
is highly improper, and will not be tolerated.
Speaking to the resolution, Clinton L.
White said: The Fourth Ward is noted
as ward representing some of the highest
integrity and highest citizenship of Sacra-
mento. [Applause.l The Fourth Ward is
also noted Tor its reliability to roll up a
good Republican majority. CHEERS l
have heard rumors, and seen newspaper
insinuations, in regard to the coming cleo

Fourth Ward Republicans can run their

have ring rule or should tolerate any inter-

ward. Loud applause aud cheers We
can conduct our politics without help. l
therefore am in favor of the adoption of the
resolution Long continued applause
