REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET

The Republican city convention yes
terday was hot gathering. Julius H.
Martin was nominated for mayor on
the first ballot. He triumphed over three
other rivals and his victory was in many
ways an extraordinary one. He owes
his nomination, not to any positive
strength that he possesses, but rather to
the fact that Mr.. Slauson, his strongest
opponent, is man who has many per-
sonal enemies in the party who were
fearful that he might be named on the
second ballot. n ~
Therefore they went to Martin on the
first ballot in order to insure the de-
feat of Slauson. ~
The other candidates were not in It,
and 1t would appear from the vote that
Mr. Slauson did not cut near the wide
swath that it was thought he would
He made the convention a speech in
which he pleaded for the nomination.
and dwelt at length upon his record as
a strict partisan and Republican at
all times. He also pledged himself to
support the nominee OF the convention,
so this would appear to leave Mr.. Slau-
son out on the Good Government league
proposition.
we'll known in the city, although he has
lived here for twenty-one years. He
has never until recent years been prom
inent in politics, although he was for
some time to the front in the prohibition
movement He was for something like
twenty years in the employ Of the South
ern Pacific, leaving the service of the
corporation something over year ago.
He is a quiet man to point that bor-
ders almost on to frigidity. A canvass
for office may melt him somewhat, but
If he should by chance happen to be
elected, that arctic temperament he
has would then be resumed in manner
which has probably never been ex-
celled in this city
Just before the mayor was nominated
the convention, at the dictation Of the
Los Angeles Times, administered to or
gauized labor. a. slap square in the face.
A resolution which properly recognized
trades unions was tabled.
But the point that caused the greatest
and most bitter feeling was over the
nomination of Martin, whom Mayor
RAIDERS friends accuse of the basest
political treachery. They were loudly
proclaiming last evening that they
would not support him.
Charles Compton was villainously as
sailed and his record attacked by the
Times yesterday morning. The result
was that he was nominated for city en-
gineer on the first ballot.
w. w. Everett failed to reach for city
clerk. He was betrayed by the false
promises Of supposed friends:
William f. Dunn proved himself to
be q finished politician. He got his NOM
ination by acclamation, as did also City
Treasurer Hartwell.
The convention will finish it's labors
today.

The convention just killed time. The
absent committee on resolutions failed
to show up, and few suggestions and
motions by delegates were not seriously
considered, except the one which au-
thorized the payment of IS to the sec
retary and SO each to his assistants,
which prevailed.
The convention then adjourned to Z
