 The next order of business was the se- lection of a candidate for the office of Superintendent of Streets. Judge J. c. Daly placed Martin F. Fragley in nomi- nation. He said:
 "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: There Is nothing that shows more clearly the character of city to strangers than its streets and parks, and nothing is so critically judged by such visitors. In our platform we have pledged our candidates to aid in the progress of this city. Great stress has been placed on the improvement of our streets and highways. low, gentlemen, for the of fee of Superintendent of Streets I have in view a representative of the Republi- can party, a man who will support --le platform, man who will not sit in his office, but will go out on the highways and see that the streets are built and that the contracts are carried out, and to per form that duty he must have experience. He must know street when 1t is f1n- ished.
 Taking that view, gentlemen, am going to present the name of a man who is in every way qualified to fill the office of Superintendent of Streets. He is a man whose name has never been brought in question. He Is not a stranger in San Francisco. Although not having held an elective office, he has won the admiration and confidence of the men who employed him and those with whom he dealt. He has held office as Superintendent of the House of Correction (applause), and when he accepted that office he found that the institution was s5000 in debt by reason of the administration of his predecessor But out of the appropriation he paid off the debt by the introduction of economic measures By the introduction of disci- pline he brought about numerous i'm provements. After faithful administra- tion he was able to leave 5000 III the treasury.
 Now, gentlemen, there Is no office more important, and ask you to nominate this gentleman because he will execute the duties of this office so that 1t will be a credit to the city. Four years to come the people will look back to the adminis- tration of Martin F. Fragley. Applause and cheers.) see you are going to nom- mate him and his election will follow as natural consequence" (Applause.)
 The nomination was seconded by A. Ruef. There being no further nomina- tions the secretary was instructed to cast the ballot for MT. Fragley. He was es- corted to the platform and said:
 Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: I indorse your platform heartily and if elected to the position of Superintendent of Streets I guarantee to do my duty faithfully" (Applause.)
