The meetings of the Republican Con-
gressional committees of the Fourth and

State Convention will occur within a very
few days.
The Fourth District committee has one
contest before it and that contest will be
investigated and acted upon according to
the evidence produced.
ii. w. Magary, n. ]. Rogers, Egbert ].
Martin and George w. Pennington, who
were interested in the defeated opposition
ticket in the Thirty-third District, have
flied with G. G. Bemis and J. Pockwitz,
chairman and secretary respectively of the
Fourth District Congressional committee,
a contest, supported by affidavits in which
fraud und failure to give the minority fac
ton proper representation are alleged.
The members of this Congressional COM
mittee say that the charges will be fully
investigated and that fairness will rule
their action.
The Fifth District committee will also
consider the contest in the Thirty-seventh
District. All delegates to be duly accred-
tied must receive credentials from the
Congressional committees. These COM
mittees are the bodies to which full power
to select delegates to the State Convention
was delegated by the State Central Com
mittee, and these committees in turn
delegated this duty to the county COM
mittees of their respective districts, be-
heving that a home-rule policy should be
carried out.
This policy has been carried out in San
Francisco by the holding of a primary
election by the regularly constituted party
authorities, who were themselves chosen
by the people, and in the management of
this primary the policy of the County
Committee has been to allow the people of
the various districts the fullest freedom in
nominating and electing their representa-
tives in the State Convention, providing
the machinery for free vote and an
honest count of the ballots. Now. in two
of the eighteen districts of the City de-
feated factions have come forth with
grievances which are based on alleged
frauds at the polls.
The Congressional committees are the
canvassing and returning boards and they
will first act upon these contests The
only further appeal is to the convention
itself 1t is quite possible that the two
contests now at issue will not reach the
State Convention, for it would be unlikely
that the judgments of the Congressional
committees would ever appear to be in
danger of reversal.
District Congressional committee vester-
day received from Chairman William
Moir and Secretary ]. d. Mckenzie of the
Santa Clara County Republican commit
tee the certificate of the appointment of
