nounced that nominations for the office
of coroner were then in order.
R. Stroud of Alhambra arose and
placed in nomination DR.. j. @. Harmon.
j. DeBarth Shorb said that in spite of
the fact that the young men OF the
Democracy were already well repre-

another young man in the person Of
Thomas F. Donahue.

cheers.
j. w. Swanwick seconded the nomina-
ton of that old and tried Democrat, DIR.
]. G. Harmon.
L. T. House of Redondo Beach
seconded the nomination of DIR. j. @.
Harmon.
Col. J. J. Ayers said that nothing
could afford him greater pleasure than
to second the nomination of DR.. Nadeau,
but he had been informed that that
gentleman was about to leave the state
on European tour and could not there
fore accept place on the ticket. He
would like to induce him to stay in Los
Angeles, as he was tower of strength
and would control large number of
votes, which had been utterly and en-
tirely neglected by the Republican
party. eff DR.. Nadeau will rum" said
Col Ayers, "I will take great pleasure in
seconding his nomination. If not, /
will take equal pleasure in performing a
like duty for that old and tried Demo
crat, DR.. J. @. Harmon, who has already
filled that and other offices with credit
to himself and the party he represents"
J.C. Morgan of Santa Monica seconded
the nomination of DIR. Nadeau,-"if
he'll go.'
Chairman Patton said he had no
authority to say whether or not DR..
Nadeau would accept the nomination,
but in all probability the gentleman who
placed in nomination knew.
Judge Guthrie said that personally he
knew nothing about the matter. He
had been informed, however, that if
DR.. Nadeau was nominated by accla-
matiou he would accept the nomina-
tion. This announcement was received
with cheers.
Frank Hamm stated that he had
spoken to DR.. Nadeau on Tuesday even
ing about the matter and that was his
understanding.
P. Ballade thought that DR.. Nadeau
would run, and moved that the nomi-
nations close.
Before the roll call was proceeded with
T. f. Gibbon withdrew the name 7. F.
Donahue from the list of candidates, ex-
planning that it was understood that DR..
Nadeau was not in the race, when his
nominee entered the contest.
The roll was then called and the re-
suit when announced was as follows:
DR.. H. Nadeau .... ....s s.................216
DR.. J. c. Harmon. ......................... 81
Total vote cast. .297
Necessary for choice .......................14 .149
The announcement was received with
prolonged cheers, which were renewed
when L. T. House moved that DR..
Nadeau's nomination be made unani-
nous by acclamation, and it was so
ordered.
Nominations of candidates for the
Office OF county surveyor were then de-
clared to be in order, and L. T. House of
Redondo Beach placed in nomination
the name of L. Friel of that place. He
apologized for not having kissed the
Barney stone, and therefore not having
"the gift of gab," but in eloquent tones
he claimed recognition for the seaboard
OF the county, which had as yet no repre-
sentative on the ticket. He said that
the Republicans in making their ticket
had evidently considered fitness as a
plant which only grew within the limit
ed district round Los Angeles city, as
thirteen out of their eighteen nominees
were from the city. This convention,
however, recognized fitness as plant in
digenous to the whole county, and had
already recognized every part of the
county but that little strip along the
coast. Mr.. Friel had had nineteen
years. experience, and had no superior
in the county as an engineer. He was a
thorough Democrat withal. Redondo
Beach two years ago was not even pre-
ClncC, anu ndu never as yeC cast lCS
maiden vote. but this year it would cast
$50 (cheers), and of those, whether Friel
was nominated or not, it would cast a
majority of at least 80 for the Demo-
cratic ticket.
J.DeBarth Shorb apologized for taking
the floor SO often, but he came to place
in nomination j. B. Winston, gentle
man for whom he had more feeling than
any of those he had spoken Of before,
because he was the son of gentleman
who was personally beloved by the whole
of Los Angeles county. Much had been
said OF the late Col. Volney E. Howard,
and he echoed every sentiment that had
been uttered Of him, but the name of
DIR. Winston brings the heart of every
man who knew him to his throat. The
gentleman nominate is worthy son
of his worthy and beloved sire.
r. A, Ling in seconding the nomina-
ton Mr.. Winston said he did not do SO
becausesof his old father, whose name
brings tears to the hearts OF the older
Los Angeles county Democrats, but be-
cause he was sterling young Democrat
and gentleman eminently fitted for the
position. He would bring 500 Dem
ocratic votes, because the older citizens
would rally round his standard. If Mr..
Winston was elected the party will be
