MAYoRALTY RESOLUTIONS.
Nominations for mayor were next de.
clared to be in order.
An amendment was made that NOM
mating speeches be limited to three
minutes, and the motion prevailed.
The point of order was made that
nominations were not in order until the
committee on resolutions had reported.
The chair ruled that the point was we'll
taken.
The committee on resolutions an
nounced that in five minutes their re-
port would be ready. The chair again
called for nominations for mayor.
Hon. j. L. Murphey then took the
platform, and placed in nomination
Henry T. Hazard. In his opening re-
marks Mr.. Murphey dwelt upon the
statement that the people and not the
bosses controlled the Republican party.
He was also in favor of municipal owner
ship of the gas, water and electric light
works, as we'll as the telephone system.
Mr.. Murphey predicted boom for
Los Angeles such as it had never before
seen, and he thought that now was the
time for the party to select the best can
didates it could possibly name, without
regard to personal feeling. The speaker
gave each of the candidates a very fine
personal compliment. When the name
OF Theodore Summerland was MENTIONED
it was received with great applause.
When finally Mr.. Murphey. reached
the name of Mr.. Hazard, he said that
no one but boodler could ssy aught
against him. He referred to Mr.. Haz-
ards political success.
Judge Variel of the Ninth ward then
placed j. G. Tufts in nomination in a
brief but pointed speech.
Mr.. Thomas of the Fifth ward, Coun-
Gilman Afford, and Major M. L. Starin
all seconded the nomination.
Thomas J. Carran placed the name of
Theodore Summerland before the con-
vention, whom he pronounced to be q
typical Californian.
The nominations were then closed and
the report of the committee on resolu-
tions was read and adopted.
The candidates, Messrs. Hazard, Tufts
and Summerland, then endorsed the
platform.
The chair announced a resolution,
which was adopted, that the delegates
of each ward vote secret ballot, and
that the chairman of each delegation an
nounce the vote of the ward.
The candidates then stepped forward,
and with few remarks deposited their
IS assessment.
MR.. HORIZONS SPEECH.
r. L. Horton of the Fifth ward, hold
ing proxy of the Second ward, in a
speech seconded the nomination of
Hazard.
Just then J. L. Murphey, also of the
Fifth ward, showed that Horton was
not a delegate. At the same time
Police Commissioner Lewis rose and
stated that Horton could not come as a
delegate from the Fifth ward.
Amid great deal of noise and con-
fusion Horton arose to question Of
privilege and explained that the Fifth
ward delegation was Tufts delegation,
and that no opposition ticket was placed
in the field as Hazard objected to it, and
that if he chose to come as delegate
he could have done go.
