does come to California, to hold only
one days session of the state CONVEX

San Franciaco so that the delegates
| when they adjourn may step directly
1nto tho International convention. Bat
In case San Francisco does not secure
the international gathering, the state
convention will be held in such city as
this Convention may determine. He
therefore called upon the delegates
present to come forward and naKe nom
nations of their tavorite cities, each
speaker being allowed two minutes.

only cities proposed. Their merits and
advantages were set forth by several
speakers. The vote resulted: Sacra-
mento, I'll; San Jose. 1903. Tle result
