THE CONVENTION.
Little Time Was Lost in Getting Down
to XVOIek


to Work.
The convention was called to order at
2:20 o'clock by Win. j. Davis, Chairman
of the County Central Committee. Mr..
Davis voice was not strong enough to be
heard over the footlights, partly on ac-
count of the noise made by the delegates,
who We're tumbling into their seats.
Those who were close to him on the
stage, however, heard him say:
Gentlemen Of the Republican C51lUention: In
accordance with custom, as Chairman of the
County Committee, | call this BODY to order
acknowledgements Of gratitude for the honors
have received from the party here repre-
sented Three times / have been elected
Chairman Of the Republican Committee of
this county-One second alone in responsible
1ty in this State TO the State Committee of
California. Gratifying it is upon my retiFacy
l feel the party in This county is in strength
effectiVe; that at the coming Presidential
election the majorities viii be augmented
over those of past years.
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
Mr.. Davis then called for nominations
for temporary Chairman, and Major w.
A. Anderson named W. A. Ford of Ma
toma. That gentleman was nominated
unanimously.
Mr.. Ford was received with applause
when he appeared upon the stage. He
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred upon him. 1t was the first time
he had been called upon to preside over
so fine body of Republicans. He pre-
dicted grand victory for the Republican
party in November, and he hoped the
Republicans ofSacramentoC County would
assist in achieving that victory by nomi-
mating a county ticket that could not be
beaten. He then ruled that the conyen-
ton proceed to business.
