A strong effort will be made to get E. B.

sent to become candidates, but none OF
them were seen or heard from yesterday.
A committee was appointed TO wait
upon them. 1t is doubtful If report can
be made to the convention tonight. Chair
man Deuprey said last night that 1t was
his understanding that the committee
could only report twelve men for Super
visors and twelve for School Directors.

usual interest was the nomination of mu-
nlcipal. judicial and educational officers.
Representatives OF several candidates
for election were present in the lobby and
worked among their NOn-P ARTISAN friends
to help their cause at the critical moment.
Just what they mplisbed is of doubt
full nature, for although many names were
presented in nomination the candidates
were by no means Endorsed or declared
the Non-Par isan choice. The question is
left In the hands of committees. whose
duty it shall be to select the best men for
nomination.
Among the most i'm portant actions of
the convention was the Endorsement of
Mayor Elert and County Clerk Haley by
reclamation.
The convention was called TO order at
S:35 p. NJ, and without a second call every
delegate was 10 his seat. With only
three or four exceptions all answered
present to the rOllcall.
The chair announced that he had added
the Eames of A. G. Towne, Fred G. Voss
and John G. Conrad to the list of dele
gates. On motion OF Frank j. Sullivan
these gentlemen were seated in the con-
vention.

however. TO report on four names for Po-
Ice Judges and others for Justices of the

Frank j. Sullivan asked if the commit
tee was not ready to report on two names
at least for Superior Judges I'VE must
show progress" said he. 1--WE have only
few days left to prepare our ticket and
should go ahead without delay"
A point of order was raised that hereto
fore the mode of procedure was that
names should be presented in open con-
vention and then the names were sub
mitted to the judiciary committee.
A motion was made as a substitute that

the chair was compelled to lecture
them fer their demonstration. The
man be was about TO nominate, said
Mr.. Foote, when he had taken the plat
form, was known from the heights
where Sutro dwelt to the Potrero. and from
the ferries TO the Twin Peaks. He was a
man Of high honor and integrity, with not
blemish on his character. He was type
of the American sailor; a man Of the type
of John Paul Jones, who, on the Bon
homme Richard, made the Scraps lower
her cOlOrs. He was also exactly like half
dozen other heroes, whom the speaker pre-
ceeded TO name, and whose exploits he set
forth seriatim. His man had filled the
Office before and had never sold stick Of
property except at public auction.
a delegate who didn't catch the exac,
glow of the speakers enthusiasm called
'Timew and the speaker continued that
the time had come when just such men as
his candidate should be nominated. In
the language of GLORIOUS Grover Cleve-
land" he placed in nomination for the
office of Public Administrator Andrew C.
Freese.
c. l.. Weller made a little defamation,
in which he said that the man whom he
proposed TO present was not in the revo-
lutionary war nor with John Paul Jones
when he wrapped the flag around himself,
nor was he in the hurricane at Samoa,
sarcastically referring to Delegate Foote'S
speech, but he was Democrat.
There were Kisses aud cries of rats"
which caused Chairman Deuprey to ad-
minister severe rebGke to delegates and
the gallery.
Mr.. Weller then placed Patrick F. Dun
don in nomination for Public Admins
traitor. He remarked, as the Misses grew
again: Il hope the geese will be quiet for
feWmoments; then they can have the
convention to themselves"
Delegate James Britt next took the plat
form, inspired with desire to benefit the
Democratic party. He stood as repre-
sentative young Democrat and as a repre-
sentative mechanic to second the nomina-
ton of that sterling Democrat, A. c.
Fr-ese. He had been a good and faithful
office-h older, and was popular with all
classes who go to make up the Democratic
party. He opposed the millionaires of the
water front in an attempt to cut down the
wages of the laborer on the water front.
With this. he said, be would leave the
matter in the hands of the delegates. His

PERSONAL ENCOUNTER AVERTED

Another crack was made in the Raney
slate in the Democratic convention last
night.
This time it was Supervisor Dundon
who was laid low, and the Democrats are
sure of being able to claim two candidates
on their ticket who were not put there by
order of Sam Rainey.
The convention is getting along toward
the close of its labors. But it continues
turbulent and unruly. and at any moment
an outbreak of excitement may be ex-
pected. Last night the usual row was
kicked up. and Chairman Deuprey found
himself once more threatened by crisis.
1t was not quite reached though, and
motion to continue the subject-matter
until tonight prevented another wild
scene.
This storm came up just after it had
been announced that the nomination of
Superintendent of Schools was in order.
c. Weller had made a speech nominating
James d. Simmons, teacher in the high
school, when James F. Smith, with up
raised hand, cried, L denounce this man."
Then the row which Is described else
where ensued.
The storm had been Irewing all the
evening. Mr.. Simm ons is a well-known
teacher and, it is ssid. man of splendid
education. His friends assert that he is
emnently fitted for the position of School
Superintend ent. Some enemy started the
rumor in the hall that be was an A. p. A.
