The Party Leader Declares for a Platform That
Will Pledge Nominees to Needed Re-
forms and the New Charter.

ity is the Hon. Charles L. Patton. (Cheers
and great enthusiasm.)
q am willing, gentlemen, to compare
this convention-the Republican conven-
ton OF San Francisco-and the Republi-
can party of San Francisco to the Demo-
cratic convention and the Democratic
party of San Francisco. In great speech
at Metropolitan Temple a week ago Sat
urday night General Barnes compared
the Republican PRINCIPLES to those of the
fusion party. What is the Democracy of
this municipality but part and portion of
the party known as the fusion. party Of
Sacramento? Can any good belong to a
party having affiliated in the unholy
union now existing between the Demo-
cratic and Populist parties of the State?
It. is said that parties should nominate
good men. True, but we must look like
wise to principles. 1t is as unsafe to nom
mate good men, pledged to support bad
principles, as it rs to nominate dishonest
men to abuse good principles. The gen
tlernan whose name 1 have offered for
your consideration and whom you will,
believe. accept as leader of our party in
this municipality, is a man among men.
He is a man who represents Republican
principles. He is q man loyal to the
principles of the Republican party. He is
loyal to the grand old party, the savior OF

gates to the convention.
The convention will be called to order
at o'clock, and it is expected that the
remaining nominations will take but a
short time.
Owing to the time consumed by the
delegates of the various districts in
electinG their chairman, the conven-
ton was not called to order
until S:45 by Chairman E. l. Wolfe
H. S. Millzner, chairman of the committee
on permanent organization and order of
business, read the report of that COM
mittee recommending that the temporary
officers be made permanent; that ]. w.
Burdette be elected vice-chairman, and
pointed. The report was adopted with the
exception that 1t was agreed that the
customary fee of $40 was not to be ex-
acted from candidates for the office of
School Directors. The delegates were not
of one mind on this proposition, some ia
voring the charge on the ground that it
was exacted only as an evidence of good
faith. The amendment finally prevailed,
and the report of the committee was
adopted.
Chairman Faulkner of the committee on
platform reported that his associates were
not ready to render their report and
asked for further time. He announced
that the committee would meet at the
headquarters of the County Committee
this afternoon at o'clock for the further
consideration of the platform. The re-
nnast for additional time was granted.

advocating doctrines inconsistent with its
time -honored principles. l now offer for
your consideration the name of the next
Mayor of San Francisco, if it is your will
that he should head our ticket, the Hon.
Charles L. Patton
At the close of Mr.. Jacobs address
three cheers were proposed for Patton.
They were given with a roar and for
several minutes the applause and cheer
ing was almost deafening. The nomina-
ton of Mr.. Patton was seconded by A
P. Van Duzer. He said:
Il desire to second the nomination OF
the gentleman who will be your next
Mayor l regard it as an honor to sec
ond the nomination of such a man as
Charles L. Patton.
During the past two years we have
seen the Mayor Of this great city of San
Francisco playing with the affairs of his
office like an actor on the stage-with the
sole intent of catching the applause of
the gallery. We have seen him using the
Office to further his own personal ambi-
ton; we have seen him standing with
folded hands and closed mouth while he
watched the Board Of Education, the
members of which are of his own selec-
ton, steal sufficient lumber from the
municipality to build city of 1000 inhab-
itants. This Mayor of ours has watched
these officials steal almost everything ex-
cept the schoolmarms, and 1t is not a cer-
tainty that they did not steal some Of
them.
Charles L. Patton has shown himself
to be a born leader. If elected to the of
flee he will perform his duty without fear
or favor. If nominated by this convention
you will have a chance to vote for a
clean man, "a gentleman and not a poll

gagged in the task OF nominating ticket

Even rt this late day there are peopls
living in this county. says the Green's
burg Tribune. whc do not believe that
Simon Miller. the defaulting westmore-
land county treasurer, who IN 1913. had
=. go Of the county fa1ds stolen. was res
ponsible for the robbery. Circumstance,
however, weTn sgxinst him. and be was
convicted and sentenced 10 iEa Western
Penitentiary TOR a cIisie that may have
been perpetratsd by others.
The Tribune is in possession Of very
volumincus letter purroFtiBg to have
besn written by man named Ge,.. II.
Miller. OF Rock wood. Pa. in which the
writer claims that . man named -,
who was ct the time employed by -,
a well known citizaa Of Greensburg. as
sisted by four other well known citizens
Of the county, whose names are also men,
toned, got away with the cash while
Treasurer Miller was temporarily absent
from the office. The letter also alleges
that the burglar lives at Moundsville. W.
Va. and Is desperate of the worst kind.
He further alleges that he had many ali
sses and married Greensburg girl with
whom he left the country shortly amer
the burglarizing Of the safe in the treasu-
rer's Office at Greensburg.
The writer also states that this fellow,
while in Chicago, teld him all abont the
affair in westmoreland county, aud now,
TO get even with the guilty party, he
writes this letter to set the hounds OF the
law on his track.

ports in your valuable paper Of young
''Boots'' McDermott having been at Ma

triOtfsm shown IN this young hero be
recognized, that the good people Of Pitts

contribute enough money TO give him an
education in one Of the bes: colleges in

would be the proper way in which 70

Christmas On sunday.

This year we viii have a Sunday Christ
mas--Christmas and Sunday rolled into
one, as it were, and which will not occur
again until 1904. 1t may be interesting
for those who are fond Of abstruse caleu-
lations wherein the dominica letter bears
prominent part to be reminded that the
occurrence of Christmas on Sunday takes
place four times in every twenty eight
years, after the expiration of every five,
six, eleven, aud twenty two years res
pectively. Take, for instance, the year
1853 as a starting point. In that year
Christmas came upon Sunday. In the
succeeding twenty eight years during
which Christmas came upon Sunday we
had them in 1854. 1870, 1881 and 1887. In
Is92 we had another after five years
wait, and now another comes after lapse
of six years, and from this year On, owing
TO 1900 not being an actual leap-yesr,
though divisible by the figure 4. 10 1910,

so, viii fall on Sunday regularly every
six years-that is. in 1904 and again in
1910. We recommend the calculation as

Somerset Ladies go Shopping With the
Presidents Wife.

Never did Landlord Leland and Chef
Daniel Lace, Of the Windsor Hotel, have
a harder week than the one now past,
says the Sunday New York World. For
three days Mrs. Mckinley, wife Of the
President, was their guest, and for three
days their ingenuity was taxed in pro-
vidine something new for each meal. par
tieularly for the three luneheons, to
which Mrs. Mckinley invited her friends.
Would you like to know who were
asked 10 sit at the table with the first lady
IN the land last Thursday, and what they
had to eat? Here you are:
The guests were Miss Catbarine End
sley, sister Of Mrs. Abner Mckinley /;
Mrs. Abner Mckinley and her daughter.
Miss Mabel Mrs. Steven Rand, wife of
Paymsster Rand, &. 5. v; Mrs. NJ. \.
Stafford and Mrs. William l. Strong.
wife OF former Mayor Strong.
You must have something new" said
Mr.. Leland, and Chef Lace promised he
would. He succeeded 30 well that Mrs.
Mckinley asked the Chefs name and
sent him a money present Why not?
Didn't the chef invent two new dishes
for the occasion-clam broth with whipp-
ed cream, aud carnation ice cream? Here
is the menu;
Clam broth with whipped cream-
Terapin a Ia Maryland.
Brolled chicken on toast. Bermuda potatoes.
Lemon sherbert
Phgadel squab on toast. Hothouse tomatoes.
Celery mayonnaise.
Carnation ice cream.
Cheese Waters Fruit Cake Cocoa. Tea.
The menu was printed on Robin's-egg
blue cream laid paper with gold mono
gram at the top. AT each plate, also, was
a big bouquet of wild violets-almost
priceless at this season Of the year.
The clam broth was the first surprise.
It was served in egg shell cups of fragile
porcelain delicately bordered with red
and gold on top Of each cup Of the de-
licious broth flpated an inch and half of
whipped cream. It was so good Mrs.
Mckinley wasn't ashamed to call for
another cup.
The luncheon progressed charmingly
till the desert. Then there was the other
sgrprise-the carnation ice cream. This
eclipsei the clam broth. Delicately flaw
ored ice cream, tinted shell pink and
crimped on the edges hike carnation, it
seemed 70 have been moulded in the form
Of the perfect flower.
These luscious blossoms were fixed
with the catix Of the real flower surround
ing the stem and set of with real carna-
tion leaves. They looked for all the
world like delicate pinks and seemed to
be. till the women tried their spoons.
Mrs. Mckinley never once went shop
ping. though she expended several thous-
and dollars Some Of il went for three
dinner dresses for herself; the remainder
went for Christmas presents for the Pres
ident and her friends. What his present
is she wouldn't tell soul. For her
friends she bought beautiful cut glass
pitchers, solid silver candelabra. silver
vases, a dozen small pieces Of silver.
three cut glass bowls, a score of buckles,
hat pins. match boxes. two jeweled pins
and several sets Of forks and Spoons.
She ordered, besides, several dozen
miniature likenes es OF the President.
which she has promised to her child
friends. These purchased were sent by
