The following supplemental report
was read:
We, the undersigned members of the
committee on order of business, after
due consideration, have resolved to re-
consider that portion of our report rela-
tive to the chairmanship of the city
central committee, so that it shall read
as follows:
First in order OF business, the election
Of a chairman Of the city central COM

point his executive committee.

CHAs. H. Humphreys,

F. G. HOLLOWAY.
A lively debate followed upon the
question of the adoption of the report
as read, J. j. Norton objecting vigor-
ously to the clause prohibiting delegates
from making nominating speeches, on
the ground that he did not like to see
the business of convention cut and
dried beforehand. On motion it was
resolved to amend the report so as to
allow nominating speeches of three
minutes duration but no seconding
speeches were to be permissible.
The clause referring to the appoint
ment of assistants to the sergeant at
arms was objected to, the convention
having already fixed the number at two
only and the two last names were
dropped from the list.
The question of the manner of select
ing the central committee brought out
a lengthy discussion, which resulted in
the adoption of an amendment to the
effect that a committeeman be elected
from each OF the forty-seven precincts
IN the city.
The report, as amended, was then
adopted.
G. G. McComas then read the follow
ing report, which was adopted unani-
mously:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen OF the Conycn-
ton:
Your committee on platform and reso-
lutions beg leave to report as follows
Resolved, That the Republican party
of the city of Los Angeles in convention
assembled hereby reaffirm and endorse
the principles of the Republican party
as set forth in the platform adopted at
it's late convention at Sacramento, and
under which the state of California was
wrested from Democratic control and a
Republican governor and general assem-
bly, so triumphantly elected.
That the Republican party believe
in and endorse the rigid enforce
ment of all laws and ordinances for the
suppression of vice and immortality, and
to that end we favor the enactment OF
the necessary legislation, both state and
municipal, for this purpose, and pledge
our nominees to the support OF such
legislation whenever and wherever en-
acted.
That the Republican party are in favor
of a prudent and economical administra-
ton of our municipal affairs, and TO that
end we favor the early submission to the
people OF an amendment to the city char
ter making such reduction in the salaries
of city officials as will provide only ade-
quate compensation for the labor per-
formed. And we further favor an aboli-
ton of all official sinecures, and demand
OF the city council that the number of
60 +ha oAS H. 1
limited to the number actually necessary
material of the Republican party be first
exhausted in such appointments.
We believe in fair days wages for a
fair days work, and the strict enforce
ment of the eight-hour law and that no
Chinese laborers or any material made
by Chinese labor shall be used in or upon
any public works of this city.
That we favor such legislation as will
secure to the city the ownership of all
water works, gas works and electric light
plants.
On motion of Major Furrey, the SER
geant-at-arms was instructed to prevent
