SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 29.-The
Democratic State Central Committee
met in executive session at the Califor-
MIA Hotel this morning, but as every
thing lad been settled in caucus be-
forehand. nothing remained but TO con-
firm the action of the caucus. Among
other things, it was agreed to reinstate
the forty-three members retired for
non payment of dues.
The time and place for the holding
of the next convention We're not dis
cussed. hence the committee from Sac
rameuto, which was here TO make a
proposition, had no chance to appear
| before the committee.
Frank II. Gould said that he had two
resolutions TO offer. The first was that
a committee of five members of the
committee be appointed to take sucn
steps as might be necessary in refer
ence TO the primary election law, to
protect the interests of the Democrat
ic party therein. The second resolution
| provided for the appointment by the
Chairman of a committee of seven
Democrats, whose duties should be to
take such steps as might be necessary
for the organization of the party. 1t
also authorized the Chairman to ap-
point such other committees as might
from time to time become necessary to
prepare for the campaign.
MIR. Gould was asked the object OF
the resolutions. and replied that the OBJ
ject of the first was apparent. As for
the second, it had been found that
such cor mittees as provided for by it
were most necessary.
|. The resolution was warmly supported
| by kenney of Los Angeles. and op-
posed by another member on the
ground that there was plenty of good
| material in the committee, without go
ing outside for it,
An amendment that the committees
be composed of members of the State
Central Committee was offered and the
resolutions were adopted as amended.
a. Caminetti of Amador moved that
hereafter the Democratic State Com
mlttee meet once a month.
Gavin McNab suggested that the next
meeting be deferred until after the Su-
preme Court should have passed upon
the constitutionality of the primary
election law. After that had been done.
it would be we'll to have monthly meet
ings.
The motion was amended to that end.
and then adopted.
Gavin McNab presented the following
| resolutions:
Whereas, in the last campaign there
was levied by the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee on every one of its mem
bers an assessment of S3O and
Whereas, by reason OF failure to pay
this assessment many members of the
committee lost their membership, and
We're dropped from the roll; and
Whereas, it has been proved to this
committee that many members who had
been dropped from the roll rendered val
liable and meritorious personal services
to the Democratic party during the cam
paign, or expended in their respective
districts. on behalf of the party, sums
of money in excess of the assessment;
