ernor. He said that the office required
the highest degree of merit and CAPACITY:
these Murphy possessed. His family
was identified with the history of the

never bent the knee to railroad corpora
tons. You could turn his sail inside out
and you would find no speck on it. He
had served in the Senate and the Assem-
bly, with great advantage to the State.
His record was as straight as a pikestaff.
His nomination meant victory. TGreat

the platform, nominated James G.. Ma
guire, whom he said was now in WASH
ington fighting for the people of Califor-
MIA as the Congressman from the Fourth
District. lie said that Mcguire was the

ton he nominated Dennis Spencer of
Napa, whom 1t had been supposed would
not come into the fight until after the
first ballot.
ellis Doty of Sacramento seconded
Spencer's nomination.

but the convention had had enough of
speeches.
The first vote. from Alameda. was for
Budd, and there was howl OF Joy from
the San Joaquin mans followers.
Cheers anu hisses greeted the vote of
Alameda's delegates, which, it was
thought, would give a pretty solid vote
for Murphy, but when the poll was over
it was found that Murphy had 22 votes.
Budd IA and Mcguire l.
Alpine's one vote was for Murphy and
Amador's eight for Budd 1t was not
until Colusa was heard from that Dennis
Spencer got into the fight. He got the
delegation's entire vote.
FL Dorado cast five votes for w. w.
Foote, who arose and stated that he was
not candidate.
The chances were even as the vote pro-
ceeded to SaR Francisco, but when it
reached the eity's delegation there was
change. Murphy had many of the dis
tricts almost solid. but he had not enough
strength to win the nomination on the
first ballot, on which the vote stood:
