NC THEIR FAVORITES IN NOMINATION.

Eddie" Wolfe Of San Francisco came
on the boards to offer up his first open
declaration of forced allegiance to Dan
Burns in placing that waning star IN
active operation for a second time
Senator Wolfes nominating speech
was as q def1nant contribution TO leg1S-
lative history as has ever been allowed
to ring uninterrupted in the Assembly
chamber Though he said that he had
no fear Of returning to his constituents
after his espousal of Burns and his
crooked gang, he said 1t with one fear
full eye on the press benches and in
tones and accent that betrayed any
thing but peace of mind. AS a forensic
effort, however, Senator Wolfe's
nominating speech was fully as bril-
liant as any that have been turned
loose in the Burns cause. He spoke as
follows:
I present for the consideration of the
joint convention for the exalted position
Of United States Senator the name of
plain, dignified, honest man, Republi-
can in season and out of season; man
who has labored for the interests of the
party time and again, and who is recog-
nized all over the State of California as
one of the leaders of our great Republican
party; man who is kind, who is Gull
tured by education and whose Judgment
is ripened by experience; a man of cour-
responded TO the call Of his country when
his services were needed; one who is in
touch with the Republicans of this State,
and whose friends are legion; one who
stands by his friends first, last and all
the time; man whose word is his bond
all over this great State. I submit the
name of Colonel D. NJ. Burns for your IA
vorable consideration.
SIMPSON FOR BULLA.
Senator Simpson came into evidence
again at this point. The far end of his
speech indicated that he had nominated

ramblings it looked as though he were
going to launch a little boom of his
own. A synopsis Of his effort follows:
Two years ago I had the honor of plac-
ing in nomination for the high office of
United States Senator the Honorable
love to-day, and who won the fight. Now
| am going to place in nomination another
man who is going to win his fight, in my
judgment. The great commonwealth Of
the State of California is vitality interested
to-day in our national legislation and in
our national administration. We have
great interests at stake. In Southern
California we have our San Pedro harbor.
We have to-day a Secretary of War that,
it seems to me, has not been in accord
with the sentiment of the Republican
party of the State of California in the
matter of our Southern California harbor.
We are in favor of San Pedro harbor and
Secretary Alger has been against US. We
have multiplicity and diversity of in
ltiSSlS III llle oldle VI OdllIOIInd lnaC
perhaps no other State in this Union has,
and We want man to represent us in
the United States Senate who is broad
gagged enough to grasp the situation that
confronts us. We feel in Southern Cali
fornia that we are at this time entitled
to the representative in the Senate of the
United States. We stood Loyalty by you
in the north two years ago, and we ask
you to stand by us at this time and I say
to you, gentlemen, to-day that with Rob-
ert N Bulla and George c. Perkins, our
present United States Senator to look
after the interests of our great common
wealth of California her interests will
never suffer. 1 wish to place in nominal
ton Robert n. Bulla.
DAVIS TALKS FOR SCOTT.
Senator Davis followed in splendid
burst of eloquence intended to place in
