fifty representatives were chosen at this primary. The general committee was or ganized and the Hon. Joseph J. Dwyer was the first chairman of the Reorganized Democracy. Shortly after the Reorgan- ized Democracy of San Francisco appear ed before the Democratic State Central Committee and asked at the hands of that body to be recognized as the Demo- cratic party of the city and county of San Francisco At this time. gentlemen; there was plan of organization of the Democ- rcay that had existed in fact for a period of ten years before. The State Central Committee, considering the fact of the existence of thls regular County Commit tee declared to the ReorganiZed Democ- racy that it, the State Central Committee, interfere with the political organization, and while the regular County Committed continued in existence it could not, and in fact it did not. have the power to rec ognize the Reorganized Democracy.
 The members of the county committee, however, all realized the condition of to the conclusion that they would report and inform that body that if 1t would in- struct the Reorganized Democracy to open an enrollment of Democratic voters and after the completion of the enroll ment to call primary at which every Democrat could participate if he desired for the election of Democratic commit tee. the regular county committee would then agree to adjourn sine die. The State Central Committee, after hear ing the report from the regular county 
 they declared the reorganized Democracy under the leadership of Joseph J. Dwyer the regular Democratic committee of the city and county of San Francisco.

A new general committee was elected under the direc- tion of the State Central Committee by the voters of the party. The new general committee convened and organized with the election of Joseph J. Dwyer as chair man, and from that time forth the name of the reorganized Democracy was chang ed to the Democratic party of the city and county of San Francisco.

victory, basing this assertion upon the
fact that the American warships de-

the city of San Juan is still terrorized.

Therefore people are camping in the

OPPOSES THE BOND ISSUE.
Senator Turpte Makes u Strong
Speech in the Senate.

Senator Turpte Makes IL Strong
Speech I'm the Senate.
Washington, May 10. - The feature
of the session of the senate was the
speech of Mr.. Turpie of Indiana on
the war revenue measure. He stoutly
contended that a bond issue was I'M
necessary; that all the funds used for
the prosecution of the war could be
raised through the proposed inner
itance tax, by the tax of the corpora
tons, by the coinage of the silver
seigniorage and by the issue of legal
tender notes. These four means OF
obtaining money would yield to the
government during the next year, he
maintained, fully $3OO,000,OO0, an
amount in excess of the estimated sum
necessary for the conduct of the war.
beautiful in diction and clear and
forceful in reasoning. Considerable
progress was made in the reading of
the bill, which included the considera-
ton of the amendments proposed by
the committee. Through the influence
of Mr.. German of Maryland the i'm
prisonment penalty was stricken out
of some of the sections relating to viO-
lations of the stamp act. The bill, as
it passed the house, provided a penalty
of $500 for failure to aftiX the stamp to
any drug or medicine or perfumery.
The senate committee has changed the
fine to $500. The provision was
amended to-day by striking out the
maximum fine, leaving it to the dis
erection of the courts to make it less
than $500. The provision was also
changed so as to provide that the Of
Tense should be made to appear inten-
tional. In section Is of the bill the
stamp taxes provided for were made
effective on the first day Of June"
After an extended debate, part Of
which occupied "A secret legislative
session, the conference report of the
bill suspending certain parts of the ex-
listing law relating to the purchase of
supplies by the war department, was
adopted. The bill permitting officers
Of the regular army to accept staff APP
pointments in the volunteer army
without losing their rank or place in
the regular service was passed.
In tIse House.
The house adjourned after a session
lasting only an hour and a half. An
especial effort was made to pass a
bill prohibiting the publication Of in
formation concerning the strength Of
the country's Notifications. Without q
word of debate the defense Republican
bill was passed.

made q contract with a private con-
Germ for the conveyance of the ship
through the system of Canadian locks
and canals, and the individual is be-
lieved to be thoroughly responsible.
The immediate effect. however, will be
the loss to the navy of very effective
little gunboat. There is good deal
of talk at the war department of the
possibility Of an issue by the president
of another call for volunteers, but
careful inquiry tends to warrant the
statement that this is at least prema-
ture, and that no further call Is likely
to issue until the aggregate number Of
soldiers already called for have re-
sponded and have been duly equipped
for service. This last matter, the
equipment of the new troops, is the
main source of delay and promises to
become even more so in the future.

Speaking for the Oil Men

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
TIE editorial in today's Times in regard TO
the circular issued by the ''Oil Mems Pro
tective association calls for just a few
words:
First, | wish to state am not the author
of the circular, although | subscribed to it
and ndorse it fully. The oil men have never
asked for any special consideration from
the city. All they want is fair play and
recognition somewhat in proportion to the
benefits derived by the city from the bust
ness.
They never asked pledge from Mr. Sny-
der and never received one. This I alb
solutely know.
They recognize in Mr.. Snyder a fair
minded man, to whom we can look, not for
special recognition, for which we do not ask,
but for fair treatment, which we demand.
They recognize in Mr.. Eaton one who
is in sympathy with silk-stocking frater-
nifty, small in numbers, but great in self
importance, whose fortunes are already made
! generally through the laborious process OF
matrimonyl, and whose sole occupation in
| life is to superintcnd the trimming of GER
| tain immaculate lawns on property OF which
they are agents and to handle certain
"unearned increments," into which they
have come by almost any process except
through honest work.
These are the gentlemen who oppose our
| industry, and as they have passed beyond
he pale of having to make their own living,
! it is not so wonderful that so much
