There was no excitement in the DEM
ocratic State Convention yesterday I'M
til the nominations for Supreme JUS
tees arose. This was the signal for
great cheering, yelling and stamping,
which the most serious efforts Of the
Chairman could hardly suppress. It
resulted in prolonged series Of ballot
taking before results We're announced.
When the convention was called to
order it was evident that the delegates
were not to be tempered with long, so
every effort was made to expedite bus
mess. The first event Of the day was
]. ]. Dryers speech to a question of
privilege, wherein he said he had been
libeled by a San Francisco daily paper.
which had stated that he was slated for
the job Of making trouble. He de-
nounced the statement, and said he
would do nothing more against the
voice Of the majority, unless with the
full consent and approval Of Judge Ma
guire.
The most conspicuous feature of the
proceedings throughout the day was
the lack OF enthusiasm and the lack Of
spirited fights. Much Of the time of the
body was taken up in the dull <outine
work of roll-call and the changes of
delegations votes.
Judge Mcguire made brief and spir-
itless speech in the afternoon, wherein
he accepted the nomination for Gov
ernor without anything save the brief
est discussion of the platform and it's
principles. He was nominated by
Chairman Afford of the Democratic
State Central Committee, the young
politician from Tulare. Mr.. Afford de-
clared that the only excuse for the ex-
istence Of Democracy was that it was
fighting 'for industrial freedom"
The anomalous feature Of the pro-
ceedings was Senator Whites brief
speech seconding Judge Maguire's nom
nation. From his speech and the
Judges it would appear that they had

If 1t is to ex- press the will of Democracy we are striving for, then it is wrong and grossly wrong to allow every Tom, Dick and Harry, regardless of party, to go into the Demo- cratic Primary and vote, just be- cause they will promise to sup port the nominees.
