The committee Of eighteen appoin ted by
the Democratic general committee to
make arrangements for the State conven-
ton. which meets in this city Oh the 21st
OF August, began its work in the Baldwin
annex last night.
Chairman Max Pepper made statement
in which he set forth what the duties of
the committee would be. He said that
for many years the State conventions of
the party had been held in interior
cities. and that on each of these
occasions the County Committee of
the favored locality had made
extensive provision for the accommoda-
tion of the convention. Now that San
Francisco had been chosen it was very
important that the visitors be shown all
due hospitality. Mr.. Pepper Informed the
committee that the only thing in this direc-
tion that had been done 80 far was the
selection of the Baldwin Theater for the
use OF the convention. Theaters, he said,
were far superior to halls for convention
purposes. and the Baldwin was just the
proper size to accommodate the delegates
downstairs, thus separating them from
spectators who would be required 10 oe-
cupy the galleries. The theater manage
ment would provide ushers, tickets to be
dicate the seats OF the various delegation
and would handsomely decorate the stage.
Mr.. Pepper suggested that the committee
divide itself into sub-committees. and the
following were then appointed:
Committee on clerical assistance =
James Denman, Clitus Barbour. 7. j.
Pinder.
Committee on seating = Thomas E.
Healey, Peter Quinn, P. j. McElroy.
Committee OIL fnance-W. NJ. Hinton.
Charles Armes. Joseph G. Gallagher,
August Tillmau, R. Luttringer.
The finance committee will take up sub
scriDtiOns and will he expected to raise
$500. The seating committee will issue
tickets of admittance to the lower floor to
delegates and is strictly enioned not to
allow any outsider to have one. The
clerical committee is charged with the
duty of securing a half dozen clerks to
assist the secretary free OF charge.
The IroQuois Club has shouldered the
responsibility of entertaining the visiting
delegates. At a meeting Of the club held
last night Fred Raabe, l.. V. Merle. Max
Pepper. j. l.. Welch and c. j. Sullivan
were appointed committee to take charge
of the matter. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that the club should give grand
excursion on the bay for the benefit of the
guests.
The club transacted little other business.
uc I6SlPHdtlDUS VI 06OISS Ps hayes,
Garret McEnerny and A. z. Flag-r were
received and accepted. 1t was explained
that the designations had no significance
other than that the gentlemen named
never attended the meetings of the club,
and had wearied of paying dues for a
luxury they didn't indulge in. The club
indorsed the applications of Mrs. Stanley
Williams for place in the Posto flee. and
Eugene Cavanaugh for place in the Mint.
The board of trustees announced that
there would be bullshead breakfast for
the club in September.
