 The chair then directed the secretary
 to call the roll. The roll call had not progressed beyond two or three coun-
 ties, when c. c. Wright of Los An
 geles moved that further call of the
 roll be suspended, as all the names would go to the committee on creden- tia1s. The motion prevailed.
 Isidore Dockweiler of Los Angeles obtained recognition. When the words were spoken, announcing the re- cognition, the interest in the proceed | ings quickened. Every one was alert | and eager to hear what the man from the south, who had won such a signal victory in the stormy caucus, had to say for himself. Interest in his remarks was heightened by the knowl- edge that he had been assailed in the San Francisco yellow journal as the II Company.
 Delegates listened with rapt atten- tion to his earnest and prompt refuta- tion from the platform to every sen tence of islander from the Hearstlings and cheered his manly sentiments to the echo.
 The paper that had assailed him was roundly hissed by the Democratic con- vention, and before the session ended 1n TJno ty,cr fr i tumbling over one another to square the paper with Dockweiler and the con- | vention.
 The closing words of MT. Dockweiler's brief speech, placing Governor Budd ir nomination for temporary chairman took many of the members by surprise 1 but to others the announcement was not unexpected.
 When Chairman Afford uttered the words, MT. Patton of Los Angeles, ' l the keenest interest and shouts were l heard Take the platform" MT. Pat ton was cheered again and again as he walked from his place on the floor of the convention to position on. the platform alongside of the presiding of f1cer MT. Patton's manly tribute to the personal and political integrity of MT. Dockweiler was greeted with pro- longed cheers. The dressing down which the yellow journal received for asserting that Dockweiler was an in- strument of the Southern Pacific was appreciated by the audience. Again | as honest men and honest politics were applauded, the Examiner was hissed l by the delegates.
 The points in MT. Patton's speech which elicited demonstrations of ap- proval were the mentions of Maguire's l record as anti-monopoliSt and the allu- | sions to the administration of Cover nor Budd and the reference to the | Chicago platform. Governor Budd was chosen with unanimify. The chair as signed to Messrs. Patton and Dock weller the agreeable duty of escorting the temporary chairman to the plat | form. When the Governor came in sight along with. his escort the com vention cheered heartily.
 | The Governors speech accepting the 1 position was a model of brevity and | frankness, but the significant fact was again noted in this that his ready vin- dication of Mir. Dockweiler, who had been vilified and traduced by the Ex- aminer, evoked the earnest applause Of | the convention. For the third time during the afternoon session the out cast yellow journal of San Francisco was rebuked by the misses of untram- meled delegations. On motion of M. F 1 Tarpey of Alameda the chair was authorized to appoint a committee of | fifteen on credentials. On motion of l MT Afford of Tulare the chair was di- rected to appoint a committee of fif- l teen on permanent organization and order of business. At the suggestion of 1 MT. Leake of Yolo several motions to | adjourn were withdrawn and recess ! of a half-hour declared.
 The recess, however, was prolonged until o'clock. When Governor Budd again called the delegates to order he announced the appointment of the committees as follows:

 The San Francisco fight came dan gerously near getting on the floor o1
 the convention, when Ed E. Leake o1
 Yolo moved to rescind a motion which had carried to take a recess of the con- ] vention until 3 o'clock this evening l Eugene Deuprey was the author of this
 motion, and he had assumed that the committee on credentials could perform
 it's work within two hours.
 1 Gavin McNab spoke against rescind- ing and did not make a good impression
