For more than seven years have made
a study Of the question, and am firmly con-
vinced that one Of the crying needs Of this
city and of every city is the transfer of the
water system from corporate control, where
In they are run for profit alone, to the hands
of the people, who shall run them for the
public interest. In other words, public util-
tiles must be conducted in the interest of the
public and not in the interest Of private cor
porations
The argument that city ownership Of the
water plant would bring it into politics 10
without weight. If anything on Gods green
earth can get this whole question, plant and
all, deeper into politics than it is now the
Cling has not found it. I believe the whole
matter is now in proper shape and that the
city will ere long be in possession Of the
supply, plant, distributing system and all.
l desire to again thank you for the honor
you have done me, and assure you that will
make my strongest endeavor to show my
earnest appreciation of it,
At the conclusion of the mayor 8, speech
an adjournment was promptly taken until

and then the convention adjourned to give
Chairman Trask an opportunity to appoint
committees on credentials, on organization
and order Of business and on platform and
resolutions.
In adjourning the convention until 2
o'clock Chairman Trask took occasion to
positively deny the rumors and assertions
that he had any committees ready made

convention was again called to order, at

Everybody was satisfied except the dele

nounced a Kick" stating that McManus
on the platform committee and Gibbon on
organlzat1on were not the choice of the ward
and did not wnnt to serve. Tom Savage was
much in evidence in the wrangle and finally
Chairman Trask appointed G. A. Guenther
and Tom Savage in the places of Gibbon and
McManus.
The convention then adjourned until q
in the afternoon in order to allow the COM
mittees time to formulate their reports.
The Contests
The committee on credentials lost no
time in getting to work. DR.. Edelman an.
nounced that representatives of the press
would be allowed to be present during the
hearing Of the contests, but no other out
siders.
The case Of the fifteenth precinct contest
was called. w. A. Varcoe testified on be.

cases OF alleged illegal voting, basing most
of the charges on the fact that the men
were not on the precinct register.
AS all the precincts have been changed
since the last great register was issued, the
chances for mistakes we're taken into con.
sideration. Louis Siewecke, the Judge of the
precinct, testified on behalf of the delegates
elected and the committee decided to deny
the protest and retain the delegation as

Brooks Raises q Row


The platform was read, and no sooner had
Il been finished than j. Marion Brooks was
on his feet with a vehement protest against
the clause referring to G. G. Davis record
on the board of education. He wanted to
add the names of Bragg, Braly, Conrey and
Mclnerney to the resolution. Back and
forth the motions flew, and debate grew so
heated that the sergeant-at-arms had to set
MIR. Brooks down.
Trask gave up the gavel finally to Del Vale
and the latter made rapid-fire rulings for
The convention tired of the wrangle and
howled down the speakers until finally the
report was adopted as read.
Nomination for Mayor
Immediately motion to adjourn, as per
program, was made from Orders camp. If
there was any doubt before as to Mayor
Spyder's strength in the convention it was
dispelled by the majority which defeated
the motion to adjourn, and which carried
the motion to substitute the nomination for
mayor in place of the election of city CEN

Chairman Trask at once called for nomina-

Snyder Nominated
Judge Wright said that when he had

he had no IDEA tnat he himself would be a
candidate for office. He had asked, after
becoming candidate, to be excused, but
his principal insisted upon his keeping his
promise. II was a pleasant duty even un-
der the circumstances. Two years ago he
had nominated the same man, and he had
been elected His record was in itself

The committee denied the protest in pre-

seated and Henry Bechel, A. C. Olson,
Robert Mead, A. Bilderrain and Louis Lev

Welcome Visitors
The ballot was proceeded, with imme-
diately, and it had progressed to close,
amid cheers for the various candidates as
the delegations cast their votes, when
Chairman Trask announced that there were
welcome visitors waiting at the door, and
they would be received before the vote was
announced. 80,
The delegates to the Silver Republican
convention marched in arm and arm by
twos up the center aisle amid the cheering
of the Democratic delegates, who stood on
chairs and made the roof shake with the
warmth Of their welcome.
The visitors gathered in body at the
stage, and H. T. Hazard then mounted the
chair and briefly told why the Silver Repub,,
counter cheering for five minutes resulted,
and then the guests departed.
Chairman Trask at once resumed business.
The Vote Announced
The vote for nomination for mayor was
announced as follows:

Del Vale escorted Mayor Snyder to the
platform. He was given an ovation and IN
response said:
Mayor snyder's Response
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies', Members Of the
Democratic Convention and Fellow Silver
Republicans; NY heart would indeed be a
cold one, did it not respond to this greeting
from my friends and neighbors. To be thus
hailed BY my fellow citizens, the people who
intend to continue me as their public ser

fill, gives mo pleasure which no words of
mine can express. While | am thrilled
with this demonstration, its suggestions al
most sadden me when think of the great
responsibilities which it brings, and in ac-
cepting the nomination | do so trusting l
will have the assistance and undivided sup
port of the men in this convention.
with such support, gentlemen, as l
know you will give me, predict that when
the smoke of the battle next December
clears away, we will see a greater victory
than that of two years ago. The question
of municipal government has reached pc
riod where the fact must be appreciated
that honesty, efficiency and economy in the
administration Of public affairs must be re-
inforced by civil service rules requiring an
examination which shall determine the fit
ness of the man who seeks public position.
"Public utilities must be carried on for
the benefit of the public, and not for the
advantage of private corporations. A city
like Los Angeles is no place for the gratif-
cation of private greed. We are today face
to face with the problem of municipal
ownership of our water supply, and distrib-
utins system. To my mind, this is the
most important question with which the
city has ever had to deal, question involv-
ing most momentous issues. The import
ance of right solution has not been set
forth too strongly in the platform you have
adopted.

by seating all four delegates and allowing
each three-quarters of a vote each.
O'Neill Wins
The case Of the contest in precinct 48 B
was one of the most interesting OF the day.
The fight between Charles O'Neill and
George Furtsch began over the delegates to
the recent county convention. When the
election for the city delegates was called Mr..
Furtsch held the polling place in his own
house and the ONeill forces opened another
tally sheet showed that sixty-one men had
voted. and the ballot box contained sixty.
four votes, while the O'Neill crowd polled
sixty seven votes. The committee decided
that the O'Neill delegation represented the
Democrats of the precinct and they un-
seated the Furtsch delegation and seated in
their PLACES A; N. Feldschau, Y; H; Walker,
Creciat and John F. Edwards.
Seventies Little Row
The Fifty-fourth precinct Of the Seventh
had q little, row. which was later on carried
into the convention. A gentleman named

N. p. Snyder was last night renominated
for the office of mayor by the Democratic
city convention. His nomination will un-
doubtedly be indorsed by the Populists and
Silver Republicans today and thus will the
question Of the fusion Of the union parties
in the city election be settled for the pres
ent campaign.
It was almost II yesterday morning when
Vice Chairman A. w. Fisher of the city
central committee called the meeting to
order. There was a noticeable absence of
delegates in some of the wards, notably the
First This was because II was generally
known that the work of the committee on
credentials would occupy all of the day in
dealing with contests, and until it was set
tied what delegations were entitled to seats
the convention could do nothing.
No time was lost in getting to work. The
reading of the call and the roll of delegates
temporary chairman were called for within
fifteen minutes after the delegates came to
order. This fight, the first Of the conven-
tion, and, until a good many things were
cleared up, one which was considered Of the
greatest Importance. was quickly settled.
The Temporary Chairman
vention opened that the committees had
been preperad for d. X. Trask and that if
he was selected as temporary chairman he
would present the names chosen by inter
ested parties beforehand. In fact, E. T..
Hardin in nominating Hon. R. f. del Vale
openly charged that the committees had
already been formed in case Trask was Sc
lected.
Andy Barber put D. K. Trask in nomina-
tion and e. T. Hardin followed with the
nomination of Del Vale. As Hardin pro-
ceeded in his speech he was frequently in
terrupted and finally got into quarrel
with the delegates, who grew tired of his
long speech, by calling the restless delegates
"an element sent to the convention to hoot
him down." etc. In his structures upon the
delegates who were annoying him--and, in
truth, It was more the lobby than the dele
gates-Mr. Hardin said things which were
hardly in place in nominating speech and
which did his candidate no good, although
the mention of Del valle's name was greet
ed with cheers.
R. j. Dillon and the calender eloquent"
seconded Trask's nomination. the latter
taking occasion to score Hardin for his re-
marks.
The vote resulted in the selection of Mr..
Trask on the first ballot.
The election Of Messrs. Tawney, Eek
