Mr. ellis said he recognized among the sig
natures several good Democrats. He was glad
10 see that they had come over to the Republi-
can ranks He thought the division of the
ward was subject that should go before the
Convention, and was out of place in a commit
tee meeting. All he wanted was q satisfactory
| arrangement whereby all would be represented
and all satisfied.
Mr.. Wilson moved that tie ward be divided,
as requested in the petition. Seconded by Mr.
Rhoads.
on Ioil-cail all voted aye, except Messrs. ellis
and Barrett.
Mr. Barrett said he was satisfied the ward was
too large, but he, like Mr.. ellis, Thought it a
meter that should be settled in Convention.
He did not want t. oppose anything that tender
TO harmonic the contending factions.
Mr. Wilson said the Third and Fourth Wards
were getting very large, and NJ deemed it bad
policy TO ignore petition signed, as that was,
by Loo Republicans. He thought the commit
tee should use every endeavor TO conciliate and
please. In his opinion, there should be six
Wards in the city instead of four.
Mr.. parrett-Well, all want is harmony
Mr.. RhOads-That will be all right, Johnnie. |
There are no factions now.
Mr.. koeder sand many citizens had spoken To
him about dividing up the Third and Fourth
Wards, 80 TO get delegations representative
OF all portions of the city. Those living uD
town claimed that they never had been able to
that both of the Central Committeeman in the |
Third Ward we'd down town.
Mr.. Gills-1hat is true but majority that
elected the two down town Committeeman lived
in the upper portion of the ward.
The Fouith Ward was then divided by Tenth |
street under the same conditions that the Third |
vote.
Mr.. ellis then offered the following reso,u-
tions. which were seconded by Daroux, and
Resoired, That the primary election shall be
held under the provisions of the Political Code
Of California, embodied under Sections 1857 to |
of OH Pal (cIa

kcsolued That ali ballots used at said primary
election shall be printed in conformity with the
provisions of the Political Code of this State,
relating TO ballots.
Resolued. That the qualifications required of
voters 81 said primary election, in addition to
those prescribed by law. shall be; That the
voter shall have voted for Harrison and Morton
Electors at the last Presidential Election or
would have so voted had he been entitled 70
vote, and that he will support in good faith
| each and every nomination Of the City Republic |
can Convention.
Resolved That at said primary election no
person shall be entitled to vote whose name
does not appear upon the last printed precinct
register, on the Great Register thirty days be-
fore the said primary election; and the person
| offering his vote under this clause shall be re-
quired 10 make oath that ne is duly registered
as required by law
Resolued, That TIE officers of said primary
cleo ion shall be selected from men who enjoy
the full confidence of the people, and if there
are two tickets run IL any precinct, each ticket

Res0lued, That the following shall be the an.
portionment of delegates First Ward. %; Sec
ond Ward "a; Third Ward, % Three-and-a half
Ward, 20; Fourth Ward, 20; Four-and-a-half
Ward, %.
Mr.. ellis then said he thought the following
would be a fair spportionment of delegates
First Ward 10, Second p. Third 10, Fourth IS.
Mr.. khoads-How do you figure that out?
Mr.. Giliis-one delegate for each thirty votes
cast for Swift at the last Presidential election.
Mr.. Rhoads-What's the matter with taking
| the last spring election. Then the First Ward
cast more Republican votes than any other in
the city. II gave majority for every Republ.
can candidate and they were showed under in
al the other precincts Laughter You Ger
tainly don't want to disfranchise the boys in
| the First. Laughter
mr. Gillis-It Is an old precedent that the
basis Of representation has always been made
on the vote for Governor or President.
The committee then went TO figuring and
| found that Mr.. ellis had made mistake of 4
hundred in figuring up the vote OF he Third
Ward, which knocked off four of his delegates
After considerable friendly discussion Mr..
as lows: First. D. Second, "a Third, IS
Fourth, IS.
Ii was amended so as to read as follows and
passed unanimously. First % Second, "a
| Third, 10; Fourth, 49, making a Convention of
| l26.
They decided TO hold their caucuses at P. NJ.
on Thursday in each Ward, their primaries on
| Saturday March ID between the hours OF and
Z +. ". and their Convention at 80 P. NJ. Tues
