lutions-S cramento Gets the
Convention.

The Democratic State Central Commit
tee held its meeting yesterday in the bill
liard-room of the California Hotel, and the
expected row between the Buckley and
the Junta factions occurred.
Gavin McNab at midnight got through
his resolution bestowing recognition on
the Junta as the regular" party organi-
cation. Mr. McNab feels highly tri-
umphant.
The BuckIeyites are sore and angry and
they will go right ahead assuming to be
the regular party organization and send a
contesting delegation to the State Conven-
ton. The local split in the party is now
made complete and sure. There will be a
Buckley and an anti-Buckley war, with
Sam Rainey fighting Buckley until the
two can agree upon terms.
Chairman Gould was an open and strong
partisan of the McNab faction throughout
the meeting and from now on he will come
from the Buckleyitcs.
Sacramento won the convention without
opposition and convention call was
issued, fixing the date for the convention
as June 16.

Gould called the committee to order. He
stated in few words that the meeting had
been called to determine the time and
place for State convention. in order that

lected and that Presidential electors and
members of Congress be nominated. This

There were 103 members. There were
few uprepresented and there We're thirty
seven proxies, the large majority of which
were held by Gavin McNab and his friends
chairs enough for these entitled to seats
and the lobby was steadily surging for
ward. The hall was close, small, stuffy
and crowded, and Chairman Gould de-
cared after rollcall that all of the many
spectators occupying seuts better filled by
standing members of the committee should
retire. Nobody retired. Mr.. Gould pro-
ceeded in decisive way to insist, and said:
'.Mr. O'Neill, please retire. If any gentle
man refuses to obey will order the room
cleared"
But this was one of those cases where
chairman tries to handle a crowd in way
he can't, and the upshot of this episode
was that Mr.. Gould quit, defeated.
Isidor Alexander of Sacramento read and
moved the adoption of call for the State
Convention. It was in usual form, and
when the blanks for time and place were
filed later it read as follows:
