submitted general plan showing the

John F. McGovern, secretary of the
Democratic General Committee, was
elected to mem bership.
Louis Metzger reported that the only
thing done so far regarding the reception
of William J. Bryan was TO notify each of
he members appointed on the reception
committee. Thus far it is not known
definitely whether Bryan will come to San
Francisco by way OF Ogden or directly
from Los Angeles, hence the uncertainty
of action in the matter. T. Carl Spelling
added that in case Bryan comes by way
of Ogden the railway will offer round-trip
tickets to Truckee for $40.
The resignation of DR.. Rottanzi, handed
in at the last meeting, caused consider
able comment. George II. Cabanlss was
in favor OF postponing consideration OF
the matter for one week, his friends in the

this. He thought it would be compati bic
with The sense of dignity so dear TO the
mem bers to have q committee appointed TO
wait on Dr. RottanzI and inform him that
he got the medicine suita bic to his NAL
ady and to suffer in silence.
1t was concluded to wait until next Fri
day evening before taking any action on
the resignation. DR.. Rottanzi will be
