given over to general discussion wnile
the various committees were formulating
their reports. During the afternoon can

Committee.
Among other resolutions adopted by the
convention was one declaring against the
| funding bill now before Congress, also one
denouneing the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company for boyc0tting its ex-employes
| or strikers.
The latter resolution brought out consid
| cradle discussion, some members opposing
| it because not certain that the railroad
company was using the boycott, method
so recently denounced by the corporation
when its employees undertook to use it.
One delegate said he was certain the
railroad company was still in politics and
it was for this very reason that 1t was
bovcottlng the strikers. The company
did not want these men to stay in the
| state because fearful that they would not
support the ticket and was hunting them
out of every job they secured. why"

ton were then gone into, and the question OF

son or Markham vote as basis took up consid-
| cradle time. 1t was finally decided TO adopt

ship, 81.
This will make convention OF 283 delegates.
II was pretty well understood during the day
that the primaries and convention would be
put of until as late date as possible, one rea.
| son given being that there are machine Repub-
licans who thought that late convention
would crowd out n0n-partisan movement
| which might otherwise be started il the con-
| vention's work did not suit certain men en-
gagged in reforming munlcipal matters, and
| who intend taking hand in county affairs il
| the Republicans did not put up & satisfactory
| ticket. Another reason given was that ii was
| deemed advisable TO have short campaign.
/ 1t was determined few weeks ago to hold
| the primaries on September 1 or Whereabouts,
| but the Central Committee decided on Satur
| day, September 15.- The date of the conven-
ton was fixed for the 18th OF the same month.
The place for the holding OF the convention
was the next thing TO be determined and this
consumed lot OF time. There were several
places in the county that wanted the conven-
ton and finally by vote OF 3 10 b IL went TO
| Haywards. 1t will be held in that town in the
Native Sons Hall, which will afford ample ac-
| cOmmodatiOn for the crowds.
| selection of Haywards among some of the poll
ticans and IL is said that the action of the COM
| mitIee as to this point may be reconsldered, 1t
| being he Id that Haywards did not obtain ma.
jority of the members. The selection will
| probably stand, however.
1t was decided that no person registered
| after September 10 would be allowed to vote at
the primaries.
