Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: On behalf OF the delegation
from Marin County it is my pleasant
duty TO present to you for this position
Judge L. NJ. AngellOtti of that county.
Applause Marin County is small
county. but it has not been small in the
past in its work and support of the Re-
publican party. For twenty years she
has always rolled up majority at every
election for the entire Republican ticket
and those majorities have grown year by
year and election by election. The gen.
tleman whom L have mentioned is
served as District Attorney in his own
county three terms successfully. He is
now the Superior Judge OF that county,
which position he was elected to in 1885,
He is the peer of anyone whose name has
been mentioned before this convention
this morning for any position upon the
Supreme bench in honesty, intelligence
and integrity. If nominated here he will
be elected, and if elected he can hold the
scales of justice equal to any man within
the State of California. l ask at the
hands of this convention the favora BILE
consideration of the gentleman whom /
have named.
ENDORSES VAN FLEET.
Mr. Jones of Sacramento said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: L feel that | would not be
doing my duty TO my constituents If L
failed TO second the nomination OF Judge
Van Fleet. l speak of him as member
of the legal profession, and 1 speak Of him
as one who has practiced before him and
know of what material be is made. He is
at present upon the Supreme bench
by appointment of the Governor of this
State. Formerly he lived in Sacramento.
For eight years he was our Superior
Judge. He resigned before his second
term had expired, because he desired to
change his residence to San Francisco.
He served one full term as Superior
Judge, and such ability had he displayed
upon the bench, such integrity had he
shown, that when it came TO the second
election the Democrats themselves, in
convention assembled, indorsed his NOM
ination, and he had no candidate against
him. Gentlemen of this convention, you
should be careful in selecting your ju-
dicial ticket. l will not take up your
time in extended remarks. ] ask you to
vote for Judge Van Fleet. He is man
of ability, learned in the law, fearless as
a Judge, and | tell you upon the bench he
will neither be your friend nor your foe
He will sit there blindfoided, as Justice
ought to be, and he will deal out law, JUS
tice and equity as we would that the Su-
preme Court should always do. l thank
you for your attention. lApplause.1
