louise this morning by Dan Baker,
chairman of the county central commit
tee. and after electing that gentleman
temporary chairman and Sam Wilson
temporary secretary, committees OF nYe

ganization and order of business. The
Convention then adjourned to meet
again at pm.

committees were read, and. on motion,
adopted, and the temporary of1cers
were made permanent.
A great deal OF time was spent in
nominating speeches, and much enthu-
siaem prevailed throughout. The FOL
lowing county ticket was placed in the
field:

Ana.

the different precinct delegates.
The convention was one the most har-
monious ever held in Southern Califor-

is as strong as could be selected. The
