greatest enthusiasm being manifested at
the mention of Budd's name.
BALLoTING BEGUN.
Almost an hour WAS occu pied in tax
ing the first ballot. The chairman
called upon the secretary to announce
the vote. Before this was done q num-
ber of delegations started to change
their votes from Mcguire to Budd. This
was according to programme, and was
part of plan to stampede the conven-
tion for Budd.
T. w. H. Shanahan of Shasta main
tanned that the chairman having called
for the vote, delegates could not change
their votes. Chairman Del Vale sus-
tanned this contention, go the vote was
announced as originally cast: Murphy
80, Budd 226, Mcguire 81, Spencer 4S.
Oetrom Is. Foote 6, Larue 1.
THE SECOND BALLOT.
The second ballot increased Budd's
vote by 20. The word was hurriedly
passed around to switch from Mcguire
and Ostrom to Budd. From his seat in
q box, superintendent of the Mint Dag
pett directed the fight in Budd's inter-
est, and his agents went from one Ma.
guire delegate to another. The total
vote showed Budd ahead of Murphy,
but still short of the required number
to nominate. The vote was: Budd
2961s, Murphy 1929, Mcguire "a, Spen-
rsr 50, Foote Is. Larue l.
Larue's solitary vote came from Los
Angeles. Ostrom's entire vote went to
Budd.
When the third ballot was COM
menced, Budd was clearly in the as
csndancy. Hall Of the delegations
gave him q vote or two. With every
gain the convention cheersd.
BUDD NOMINATED.
The vote necessary to give Budd the
required figures was not reached until
almost the last county on the roll was
called. There WAS moment OF Bus-
pense. Then thej convention went wild.
They shouted "Budd, Budd, Budd %
and cheersd and yelled themselves
hosrse. They jumped on chairs, waved
hats and hsndkerchiefs and fans. Then
q Santa Clara delegate moved to make
the nomination unanimous, and there
was cheering, in which Barney Murphy
was duly honored. Bndd was not in
the convention hail; Murphy and Spen-
Ger, the defeated candidates, were pres

George T. Mayre of San Francisco. F. d.
Nicol of Stockton, Nicholas Bowden of
Santa Clara, r. M. Fitzgerald OF Ala
media and A. Bocco OF Luke, went to the
Baldwin hotel to INFORM Budd of hia

convention.
BUDD GIVEN AN OVATION.
When the gubernatoaisl nominee sp-
peared on the stage. he received an ova-
tion, ladies from the boxes showering
bouquets on his head. Budd promised,
in his speech, to stand true to the
pledges OF the party platform.

43; have lived all my life here and was
educated in California. l know too
much to make mistakes through fool
ishnesa, and l have too much sense to
make the other kind OF mistakes. l

during the four years am going to be
governor.

Budd introduced his rival to the con-
vention with his arm around Murphy's
neck. The Santa Clara man was loudly
cheered as he promised to work for his
friend Budd.
Spencer and Foote also spoke in a
similar strain, predicting q Democratic
victory.
Then the convention took a recess
until 80, in Odd Fellows hall, before
rising giving three cheers each for Muir.
ply, Mcguire and Foote.
ENGLISH ACCUSED OF TREACHERY.

towards Murphy, saying that the federal
brigade. which, with the exception OF
Dsggett, were ostensibly for Murphy,
were really for any other candidate.

killing Murphy for United States ssna-
tor in the interest OF English's friend,
