SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE reg
ular Republican nominations for NUM-
cpal and legislative offices were ten
| dered to Registrar Hinton late this af-
ternoon by petition bearing several
thousand names, under the designation
| Of Citizens Republican party.
| Early in the day a similar petition
had been offered by the A. p. A organi-
cation under the title of Citizens Inde-
pendent party A verbal protest was
entered upon behalf of the latter against
the use of the word "Citizens'" by the
Republican party, the claim being made
that the Independent petition had been
| first filed.
Registrar Hinton disposed of this pro-
test by citing the fact that the Citizens
Non-partisan party had been the first
| to file its claim to that title, and if the
| Independents protest held good as to
the Republicans,it was equally as force
full applied to the Independents. The
| protest was not insisted upon. The
question of filing both petitions was
! taken under advisement
| The junta wing of the Democracy met
with defeat today in an effort to pre-
vent the Buckley nominees from going
| on the ticket under the designation of
| Anti-Charter Democratic party.
An appeal to the courts to prohibit
the use of such designation resulted
in nothing, and Registrar Hinton was
left free to take such action in the mat
ter as he might deem proper
| ON THE TICKET.
