A Poser for Republican Nominees.
| The Republican candidates of Alameda
| County, recently nominated at Haywards,
were in d world of trouble last night, and
were crowded thick in Justice Cliffs court
| from early evening till late al night, trying
| TO surmount serious difficulty which has
! just dawned upon them.
1t seems that while in convention at
| Haywards they were so busy looking after
the Ioaves and fishes that they neglected
! some very essential details in connection
with the new purify If election law. Among
! other things they failed to have the con-
| ventlon'S secretary cast the vote OF the
| body for those candidates who were nomi-
mated by reclamation, and they also
! neglected-what is more impOrtant-tO az
| point the campaign funds disbursing COM
mittee, which point the law is very ex-
/ pliclt on. The question with the candl-
dates was. "Where are we at?"
! No one seemed to be able to solve the
| problem. District Attorney Shook, Judges
(
| Chief Schaffer, Eli DennisOn and all the
leading candidates wrestled with this prob
lem In all its phases. Some suggested that
each candidate run by petition. which
would make them Independents and do
away with party organization. 1t has an
other element TO recommend lit would
be cheaper. Some suggested calling an
other convention. but this plan might dis
arrange the slate.
Well, another plan was to have the
| county central committee call new con-
vention and do the work over again, nomi-
nate the same ticket and put IN the
omitted points of the purity law.
But no definite conclusion was arrived at
when the candidates wendell their WAY
| bomeward at IL 80. and the pro liability is
shat the matter will stand as a. present,
and if necessary q test Will be made when
the time comes. The law has never Deen
tested and the supDosiion was that it
would not stand.
Yesterday the central committee of the
party appointed the following committee
for the campaign: Executive committee
