Mr.. McCraney reported for the executive
committee that they had had great diff
Guilty in getting in touch with the Repub-
lican State Central Committee that they
were never accorded the respect and defer
ence due them as representing the League
of Republican Newspapers, with a mem
bership of u journals.
H. A. McCraney presented the follow
ing resolutions, which were adopted and
ordered to be telegraphed East.
The League of Republican Newspapers of
California appeals to the party to arrange to
hold the next Natio nal Republican Convention
at San Francisco.
In doing this we call attention to the fact
that the interests of this section of our COM
mon country have never received generous
consideration at the hands of any political
party. The public men OF the East do not seem
to understand our wants and needs. By CON-
ing here to attend National convention the
Republican leaders will become better ac-
quainted with this great section OF our COM
mon country, its resources, Its requirements
and its people, and this will lead TO the promo
ton of 4 broader patriotism. Let the Repub-
1cans, first in every work in our land for more
than third of century, be first to come to
this Western land, calmly and judiciously to
plan for the best interests OF the entire coun-
try.a
In asking that this action be taken we call
attention to the fact that there are ample
transportation facilities for delegates and 9TH
ers who may desire 10 come from all sections OF
our country to San Francisco.
That there are plenty OF hotel accommoda-
tons in this City for even twice as many peo-
pie as would attend such convention.
That the necessary arrangements for the
holding of the convention will be made by the
people here.
That the excursion trip to the Golden State
would be ada AT all and LyOOld ha
the most delightful ever made anywhere by
the delegates to any political convention.
That the people OF California, long famed rs
the most generous entertainers, will spare no
pains to make the stay of visitors here one of
both pleasure and proht.
That wider acquaintance would result from
such trip. In travelling across the continent
together delegates from the several States
would discuss the great principles of the party
and the special requirements OF each section.
This would certainly lead to wiser and better
political action.
Believing the time has come when the
unity OF the party will be promoted its politi-
Cal methods improved and Its success assured
by the holding of its National Convention on
this coast, we urge such action. Let the Re-
publican party be first to recognize the fact
that there is Pacific Coast and the people of
this great and growing country will RENE mber
their obligation to that party. In behalf of
good politics, in behalf OF higher patriotism,
we urge the heldtng OF the next National Re.
Committees were appointed to draft res
olutions upon the death of Marcus D.
Boruck OF the Spirit OF the Times, late
member of the executive committee Also
upon the death of Lieutenant-G Governor
Willard.
Resolutions of thanks were passed on
behalf of the Press Club for the use of
their rooms and other courtesies and the
league adjourned.
At meeting held subsequent H. A. Nc
Craney was elected chairman of the execu-
tive committee.
