JAMES 3. sTETSoN NAMED.
Powers said he had from infancy been
connected with the commercial world
and naturally looked to the commercial
world in nominating candidate for so
important position. Inc gentleman

dence of the commercial world ana has
built up from small beginnings trade
that has made the name of his house
known from one end of the State to the
other. He placed in nomination James
R. Stetson and assured them that the
State would do itself honor in sending

SECoNDING SENATOR PERKINS NoMINA-
TION.
Cutter, in seconding the nomination of
George c. Perkins, spoke as follows:
ut is with profound pleasure that rise
to second the nomination of Hon. George
c. Perkins to represent second time the
sovereign State of California in the Sem
ate of the United States. He is the candl-
date of the majority of the constituents OF
every mem ber, or nearly every member,
upon this floor. Were United States
Senators elected by the people, instead OF
by the Legislature, there is not man
within the sound of my voice but knows
that George &. Perkins would receive q
vast majority OF the electoral vote of the
State, regardless of party. The people
know HIM; the people trust him. AS
State Senator, as Governor, as United
States Senator. he has served them faith
fully and served them well, and they de-
mand his election at our hands. Too
i,, Sto1n If1n n ia
has this great office been besmirched by
candidates who have made the contest
upon a metallic basis, or aided by cor
porate influence, or supported by venai,
subsidized and rotten newspapers, or all
these combined. l am not charging THAT
any such contest has been made by any
candidate in this case, but simply desire
10 say that no asperslon OF THIS klnu can
be cast on George c. Perkins; Tor from
the first primary until now there has
been no lllegltlmate expenditure, no Qn-
holy com bination, upon his part. lie
has made in all respects clean contest,
and stands before you an honest man, ut
to be the representative of an honest peo-
pie. And if for nothing else but the good
example he has set in this particular, his
candidature should be received with re-
spect and approval by this Legislature OF
California"
