George Root appeared in the aisle and an
nOunced that be had withdrawn his name
from the contest. The fight lay then be-
tween T. Ii. Ward, the Los Angeles
choice, ard Louis Jacobs, the San Fran
cisco candidate. Root looked badly broken
up. On the recall Sacramento demanded

from Fisher to Black. Then the elderly
delegate arose from the San Joaquin
benches. He did not know that he was
wrong, bat he did rot want TO vote for
Anderson. He proceeded in a lively FASH

have that vote, and presently he was seen

of his county. Finally he found a cham
pion in General Hart of Sacramento, who
ran up TO the platform and demanded the
recognition of the old man.
