Gentlemen of the Senate, the State of
California needs no orator in the United
States Senate. It's magnificent products,
its boundless resources have spoken
louder than words, and if this State is to
hecome-as ii ought to-the home for
millions of American people, if our inter
estS are to be fostered and our resources
developed. we need in Washington a
worker rather than talker. What we
need In Washington is a man Of dignity,
of courage and Of brains man that will
command the respect of his colleagues
and the confidence of the American peo-
pie. We need man who will be ever
faithful to his duty, and who knowing
what California needs will secure it for
US. and that is the kind of a man that
tect the interests of the miner. the in
terests of the fruit grower and of the
farmer, and the interests Of the man that
earns his daily bread by the sweat of
his brow will be as sacred to him as it
is possible for any human being to
have 1t.
Mr.. President; Colonel Burns is one Of
the leaders of the Republican party. We
have been admonished by the other Sena-
tor from Santa Clara-that eloquent gen
tleman, Senator Morehouse, that on this
day we should bear in mind the leaders
of the party, the men that have done the
work and made Republican success pos
sble. say to you, is there a Repub-
lean Senator on the floor of the Senate
that does not recognize that it has been
the mind and the brain of Colonel D. NJ.
Burns that has directed affairs so that
success for the Republican party in this
State was made possible? Colonel Burns
has faithfully served his friends. He is
the most loyal and Steadfast man to his
friends that l know of and he has rarely
asked for political prferment for himself,
and what has he got, Mr. President, by
reason of his loyalty to his friends and
his fealty to his party? Naught, l say
save 1t be an unwarranted, a cowardly
and unolean attack upon his personality
But those of us who know the gentleman
are not to be deferred by threats nor
are We to be won by flattery. We recog-
niZe in Colonel Burns a man that will
make a fitting Republican in the Senate
of the United States for the State of Cal
ifOrnia, and realizing his sterling qualities

pleasure 10 second his nomination. Gap

Senator Leavitt of Alameda spoke as
follows in seconding the nomination of
D. NJ. Burns:
I rise to second the nomination of Dan

States Senator from California and in do
ing so l desire to say that 1 have found
Colonel Burns upon all occasions to be
honest. truthful and perfectly fearless-a
man that, believing a certain line of ac-
ton was right, nothing on earth could
sWerve him from his duty-one of the
truest friends that man has ever had the
pleasure of having, and I take great
pleasure in seconding the nomination of
Colonel D. NJ. Burns of San Francisco.

MENTO Jan. 10-It was the twelve
ringing strokes from the big clock that
called order in the Assembly chamber
at noon to-day. Speaker Wright's
gavel was not necessary to quiet the
crowd that had gathered to see Dan
Burns and his allies measure for the
first time their corrupt strength against
the decent element among the state
lawmakers. 1t was a quiet, orderly
crowd anyway although it was We'll
stuffed one.
Burns henchmen and rooters were
crowded round the gate and the rail In
the back Of the chamber, but they hao
simply come to lend volume to the
scant applause that met the efforts or
those on the floor who were to put their
master in nomination for the United
States Senate. They refralned from
noise during the progress of other
! speakers and attempted none OK their

Burns. HIS say was Of length, but he

tions, more than words, are at a premium
here, and therefore | say that in itself

remarks. Mr.. President, l take great
pleasure in placing in nomination for the
exalted position Of United States Senator

Ing this in mind, plainly, let us then elect

honesty and ability go unchallenged;
whose name is loved and revered, not only
in the State of California, but also in the
entire United States-aye, in the whole
world; let us name for our United States

Immediately command that high respect

Let us then, l say, elect for our Senator

George A. Knight was placed in nomi-

said:
We are all agreed that now is the time,
above all other times, that California
should select a Senator that would ably

No longer it marks the picket line of
American advancement To-day it stands
midway between the Far East and the Far
West, and through it's golden gate must
or, at least, ought to-pass the COM
merce that soon will spring up between
the East and our new possessions in the
Orient.
These great changes have been brought
about by reason Of our war with Spain.
This war has left US, as a heritage, a
new territory teeming with thousands of
people who are now our wards, and who
must be protected. Great questions to-
day confront the American people-ques-
tons of great moment and Of internation-
al Importance. We as a people must fair
ly meet them and pass upon them so JUS

CUTTER SECONDS GRANT.

Senator Cutter of Yuba spoke as fol-
lows in seconding the nomination of
Grant:
Mr.. President: On four different occa-
sions, twice as member of our sister
State of Nevada and twice as a member
Of the Legislature of this State, 1t has
been my fortune to second the nomina-
ton of candidate for the office of SEN
ator Of the United States, and in each
instance it happened that that candidate
was elected. And to-day, in arising to
second the nomination of Ulysses s.
Grant. do so with a full conviction that
he also will be chosen. 1t has been said
by some that Mr.. Grant is simply the son
of his father and that that was the sole
reason for his candidacy. Even if that
were true, Mr. President, 1t seems to me
that loyal ard patriotic Americans might
do far worse than honor the dead captain,
one of the most illustrious military lead
ers in the worlds history and one to
whom more than almost any other this
Union owes its life, by bestowing upon
his son the Senatorial toga. But, Mr.
President. Mr. Grant is much more than
simply the son of his father. He Is a
gentleman of culture and education OF

itics and our progress has been distin-
guished by a steady adherence to the de-
VeIopment of our internal resources. The
marvellous increase in public and private
wealth has manifested itself in widening
the circle of education and in elevating
the standard of popular intelligence. Our
position to-day is not only unprecedented
1t is phenomenal.
But as society becomes more and more
complex the work of government becomes
more and more difficult. We have reached
the point which every nation must event
ually reach, where the iconoclastic spirit
of the age asserts that the time has come
to renew our constitution. A broader
field Of action has opened before US and
change Of national policy is imminent.
Startling possibilities both for good and
for evil confront US, and whether the fu-
ture shall bring new blessings to civili-
zation or shall scatter the treasures gath

ponds upon the men who guide the ship
