A storm of applause greeted the close
of the speakers remarks, but at the
sight of the smiling face of Hon. R. f.
Del Vale, the convention arose en-
masse and waving their handkerchiefs
and hats in the air, the delegates and
spectators alike shrieked themselves
hoarse in welcoming the nominee for
the acknowledgements of the state.
Chairman Patton. raped with his
gavel until his arm ached, but without
avail, as the audience paid no attention
to him whatever. Finally, when the
noise subsidized, he said: 'Gentlemen
of the convention, it is evident that
Hon. r. F. Del Vale needs no introduce
ton to you.' The cheering was re-
newed, but was promptly suppressed as
Mr. Del Vale commenced speaking. His
address was as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Democratic Convention:
II am glad that l was. not present
when you first called for me, although 1
am grateful to you for SO marked an at
tention. But had been present at that
time / would not have been so encour-
aged to speak as am, now that l have
heard the truthful, noble and magnetic
platform which has just been read to
you.
''It is unnecessary for me to state what
the result of the present campaign shall
be. The papers throughout the. state
have said a number of beautiful things
about the swollen hand and big
heart of the magnetic Mr.. Mark
ham, of Pasadena, (laughter), but
when the fourth day of November
shall have arrived the swollen hand will
soon be healed, because in spite of the
language of those papers, which is col
ored by the golden hues of poetic license,
he'll 60 down Salt river, never to return.
cloud cheers and laughter).
l am convinced that it is written in
letters OF fire that the present campaign
will result in victory, by majority of
over 10000, for the Democratic nominee
for governor. prolonged cheers) The
people of the state prefer a man for that
Office who has the interests Of every sec
ton of it, vast as it is, at heart, to the
man who relies solely upon his faculty
for hypnotizing men, for their votes.
While travelling through this state,
dnriuO the mast two months | have
found people in every county who have
said, we shall vote for the man who will
protect our homes from the ravages of
extravagant officials, for the man who
has shown his remarkable executive
ability by his untarnished reputation as
mayor of San Francisco Loud and
continued cheers.] Since I left here,
gentlemen, to perform my duty as a del
egate to the San Jose convention, l have
seen Republicans join hand in hand in
welcoming Hon. E. B. Pond-[ cheers +
and have heard them say, "We shall
vote for you, Mr.. Pond, because in your
hands, as governor, we know that the
affairs of this state will .be properly
looked after" Continued applause.]
II do not wish to dictate to you, but
as citizen of Los Angeles county, a
friend, and candidate, 1 wish to i'm
press upon you the necessity of using
cool and deliberate judgment in putting
up your ticket. Do not let it be die
tated by friendship or personal feeling,
but let it be dictated by that patriotism
which was so marked feature of the
convention held at San Jose. Go slow,
and you will receive the endorsement of
every united voter in the county, as
sure as that the fourth of November
shall arrive"
A tremendous burst of applause
greeted the close of the speakers ad-
dress, and the building fairly trembled
with enthusiasm.
The business of collecting the 81 as
sessment from each candidate was then
proceeded with.
Chairman Patton then announced that
the next order OF business was the mat
ter of nominating four candidates for the
offices of superior judges.
j. w. Swanwick Of the Fourth ward
moved that the matter be passed for the
present and placed after No. 13 on the
order Of business, for the purpose of al
lowing the delegates time in which to.
consider this very important matter. He
was greeted with loud cries of "No!
Mop from various parts Of the house.
Delegate-at-large j. DeBafth Shorb
trusted that the convention would bear
with him for few moments. He knew
whereof he spoke, when he said
that there were great and i'm
portant reasons which they did not care
to publish abroad to the enemy. why
this matter should be passed. He hoped
therefor that no objections would be
raised to this course.
Mr.. Bragg of Compton, seconded the
motion as one of the committee on order
of business, as did also Judge j. T.
Bearden. and Judge j. G. Morgan.
f. 3. Culver of the Second ward
moved as an amendment that the vote
by which the report of the committee
ON order of business had been adopted
be reconsidered and then amended in
accordance with the former motion.
Mr.. Swanwick rose to point OF order
and stated that such action was not
necessary, as all that was asked was that
the matter be passed. The chairman
ruled the point we'll taken, and the
original motion being put to the house,
carried unanimously.
