Turning to Mr.. Del Vale Mr. Foote
continued: "Some years ago, Mr.. Chair
man, when you were a distinguished poll
tican and l was beardless boy Qaughterl,
no one could be found to run against Mr..
Page for Congress. Mr.. Budd came for
ward to undertake the race, and | had the
pleasure to run for Railroad Commits
sioner on the same ticket with him, aud l
never knew him to be for corporation" +"
The speaker declared that if Budd were
nominated his voice would be heard in
every county of the State in behalf of
every man on the ticket, and that if de-
feated he would work just as earnestly for
the ticket and every Democratic nomin ee.
IF Budd can't be elected nobody can
be. If defeated, Jim Budd will be found
in the front Of the campaign with the flag
OF the Democracy. To nominate him
means the defeat of the man nominated at
Sacramento" concluded Mr.. Foote.
'Charles F. HanlOn of San francisco" :"
called out Chairman Del Vale, and the
tall delegate walked to the front. He had
hardly got his position on the platform
when Charley Weller arose and called for
point of order.

the chair.

second for each nomination. understand
that Mr. Hanlon wishes TO second the last
nomination again."
Chairman-I have no official notice, sir,
OF what Mr.. Hanlon will say.
Weller-Can l ask him a question.
Chairman-Mr. Hanlon can speak for
himself. At present your point is not well
taken because he has not yet got the floor.
Mitchell of Los Angeles jumped up with
a motion to rescind the order as regarded
the gubernatorial nominations. 1t was
seconded by Santa Clara. Howls went
round the room. The motion was put and
defeated overwhelmingly, and MIR. Mitchell
was sat upon. II shall withdraw. gentle
men," said Mr.. Hanlon, bowing to the
convention, and he retreated amid roar
of applause.
Then the tall form of Gavin McNap

II am here" said McNab, ''for the pur-

Congressman for the Fourth Congress
sional District-Hon. James G. Mcguire
[Cheers
II have not come here to heap super
1uOus praise on the character of Com ngress-
man Mcguire, nor to dilate on his maguifi-
cent public services. The reputation of
Congressman Mcguire has become like a
household word to the people of Califor-
MIA. and the fame that he has earned in
national affairs has been told 10 the press.
l came to point out that he is the logical
nominee of the convention; that he is the
man of the times; that he best represents
the interests OF the party in this State.
The anti-monopoly platform which has
been drawn up mere is the result OF the
fostering care of him 10 whom the people
already look as their champion. and there
will be a f1ocking of the people to his
standard. You might as we'll try to
play Hamlet with Hamlet left out as to
try to elect an snti-mon opoly ticket with
Congressman Mcguire left out. We have
all watched the fight at Washington be-
tween the Southern Pacific Company and
Congressman Mcguire. Never before has
that domineering and insolent monopoly
met foe so orthy of its steel.
"Do you know from wnst he has saved
you? Do you realize that If the funding
bill had passed there would be taxes for
you and your children TO pay. There
would be SIC, ,0OO. 600 for you TO pay. not to
build railroad but to pay its debts. For
the first time In its history Democratic
convention has come out on an anti
monopoly platform. But it is not Uniy
from his reputation in Congress that l
name Congressman Mcguire for a place on
the ticket. These are hard times and the
people are thin king hard. There is a dis
position to wipe out party lines. The peo-
pie will put their brains in the ballot-bo
next November. We must have with US
the laboring and mechanic masses. the
real sources of our strength. They do not
think that because things are as they are
they are right. No man is so near the in
dustrial masses as Mcguire. For years he
has enjoyed their confidence and shared
their feelings.
Every worKingman and mechanic in
the State would feel that in voting for
Mcguire he was serving the best interests
of the State. He has a breadth of mind
and largeness of human sympathy that
makes him the represen tative of every
decent man in the State. Why, in the last
few days twenty-five editors of the Demo-
cratic press. representing twenty different
counties. met to consider matters, and it was
their sentiment that in j. q. Mcguire this
party would be giving an earnest of its
good intentions toward the people. In
nominating Mcguire you would bring into
