The Silver Republicans last evening
by unanimous vote and amid great en-
thusasm nominated for mayor M. p.
Snyder They also nominated by en-
dorsement full city ticket save for the
office of city engineer and for several
ward nominations.
The Silver Republicans were alive to
the Importance of the occasion and the
necessity of placing this metropolis be-
yond the domination of the Los Angeles
Water company and the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company for the next two
years at least.
They also put forth a strong platform,
every plank of which is we'll worthy of
the perusal of every citizen.
The enthusiasm manifested over the
nomination of Mr.. Snyder for mayor by
the Silver Republicans simply knew no
bounds. 1t was unanimous. There was
not one dissenting voice.
There were several leading Republic
ans who spoke in favor of the motion to
make. Mr.. Snyder's nomination by ac-
clamation.
They all stated that it was very plain
to be seen that Julius H. Martin, the Re
publican nominee, was the water COM
pany candidate. This being the case the
party could not think for moment of
considering his name.
AS far as Mr. Snyder was concerned,
the members all seemed to understand
that he was with the people in the water
fight, and this feeling was voiced in the
unanimous endorsement of Mr.. Snyder,
with a whoop and hurrah.
There We're 400 men present at the
meeting of Silver Republicans at their
club rooms on West Second street at
o'clock last evening. None but members
of the club were admitted and the meet
ing was one in which every member
seemed to take great interest and in
which almost every one participated.
Every seat in the room was taken and
many were compelled to stand.
DR.. S. H. Boynton, chairman of the eX-
ecutive committee, called the meeting
to order and by unanimous vote Henry
T. Hazard was elected chairman. F. j.
Cooper acted as secretary.
Chairman Hazard announced that the
object of the meeting was to decide what
action the club should take in the ap-
preaching campaign The issue, he said,
was municipal ownership of the water
works and honest economical govern
ment. He submitted a pla tform from
the executive committee as IOllOWS:
