w r. Burke claims that he did not ad-
vance money to George Arbuckle in the
interest Of his (Burke's) candidacy for
district delegate. He says that he only
made loan to the man from the seventh
ward, who was temporarily pressed for
funds, and who is to repay to him the
cash advanced as soon as both Of them

The Cuban resolution was the same
which the platform committee refused to
Yeport. The convention tabled it this
morning by almost unanimous vote.
y,,1a resolution Onpned I'D a
debate which, at one time bade fair to
keep the convention at the state cap
itol for at least an additional twelve
hours The unanimous sentiment was
against any tag which would tend to
make the California delegation mere
bundle Of rags.
Senator Burke, of Santa Cruz, an ar
dent slverite though he is, realized at
glance that it would not do TO place
collar around the necks of the members
from the Golden state. and he offered
substitute to the Brooks idea, which
binds the Californians only upon l6 to
platform. The amendment was adopted.
During the sparring on the subject
Church of Fresno. who is delegate TO
Chicago from the seventh district, took
the platform, and, in a manly speech eff
fectively delivered. objected to being
bound so that he could not breathe.
Church declared that, although for sill

vania, which is also the native state of

he would like to cast his ballot for him.

The recommendation of the Sixth dis
trict convention to Chairman Frank T.
Gould that he appoint Martin c. Marsh
one Of the twenty members at large of
the new state committee may not bear
fruit. Great pressure is being brought
to bear upon Gould in Marsh's behalf.
Gould, however, believes that the man
from Los Angeles is too closely allied
with Buckleyism. When James V. Cole
man OF San Francisco, who is Marsh's
friend md lSn Go1l6'S adr,irar vastar-

A question has arisen as to whether
William II. Webber of University was
really elected as the member of the Sew
enty-second assembly district upon the
new state central committee. F. d.
English of Redondo claims to have been
selected for the place and his name has
been entered upon the official records

Now that the war is over, the topic

the electoral and legislative nominees
and it may, on the other hand, divide the
party's strength for trading purposes by
the faction which terms itself the regu-

it is said is to oppose Buckleyism for
time and eternity.
The Monitor, which is the mouthpiece
of the Catholic church in the state. and
which is edited by Rev. Peter C. Yorke,
is out in San Francisco today with the
second installment of the alleged at
tempted sale of the A. p. A. to John d

other things, that the price which was
to have been paid by Spreckels to the
order for its political support as an en-
