sionsl District

The Republican State Central Committee
net yesterday afternoon in parl0rS A and
Is at the Palace Hotel. w. Z. Fitzgerald pre-
siding. The chairman stated that the meet
ing had been called to name the date and
place Of the next State convention. AT the
last State convention, be said, a resolution
was passed 10 have named 2l gentlemen to
act as an executive committee Of the State
Central Committee. Permanent OrgaGiza-
ton OF this committee had been effected.
The hrst business before the meeting, he
continued, would be the selection of perma-
nent officers.
Walter Moore OF Los Angeles said there
was no doubt that canvass OF the opion-
ion OF the enuemen present would prove
that all were IN favor of tie temporary
officers and subcommittee, and made
motion that they be elected 10 fill the posi-
tons permanently. The motion was car
RED and the following officers were unani-
m0usly elected: w. (. Fitzgerald, chair
man; y. \, L, Wilson, vicC-chairman; Z.
y. Llllenthal, treasurer; {. +. BaSsett,
secretary; Jacob StePpacher, assistant sec
rotary.
Chairman Fitzgerald acknowledged his
gratitude for the honor conferred upon him
IN a neat speech. EYerybo could point
with pride, he said to the present admins
tTatlOu, which has been clean, conservative
aud statesmanlke, and he thought that no
good Republican would fail 10 put in
straight vote for his party in November.
After Chairman Fitzgerald finished his
speech, the roll was called, and there were
found 10 be present IS members of the COM
mittee, including proxies.
The next and most important question to
be considered was that Of the holding of the
convention, Colonel Jones Of Sacramento
arose ana moved that his city be chosen as
the place In which to hold the convention.
There were many reasons, be said, why
Sacramento should be named as the favored
city. Hotel and restaurant accommodations
had been considerably improved. and before
the convention would be held the electric
cars would be running up TO the Capitol,
which building was better suited for such
an affair than any in the State. The con-
veniion, be said, would be held in the
Assembly chamber, and the Congressional
delegates had q number of halls in which to
meet. Walter Moore heartily Endorsed Mr.
Jones, and It was unanimously decided to
hold the convention there. On motion Of
Il, L Osborne of Los Angeles it WAS decided
o mold the convention on July %, al p. NJ.
Mr. Osborne then read the call for the con-
yention. which ran as follows:
