urer, Charles H. Mayer.
The minority Of the committee, rep
resenting Fred Eggers and his follow
ing, demanded the privilege of naming
one-half the delegates on both the State
and local tickets. After some discussion
the committee rejected the proposition
and authorized the officers of the COM
mittee to select the delegates to the
State and municipal conventions, and
instructed the committee to file a list
of delegates with the Registrar and the
secretary of the Republican County
Committee.
The contest for supremacy and con-
troll in the district is between Super
visor Fred Eggers and John w. Rogers.
AS seven of the eleven on the district
committee are Rogers personal and po-
litical friends, the officers of the COM
mittee having been named by the ma
jority there is an impression that they
VIII name the entire delegation. They
will have the backing of the organiza-
ton in their fight against Eggers..
THIRTY SECOND DISTRICT.
A warm contest is scheduled for the
primaries in the Thirty Assem-
bly, District. The effort of the Ruef
organization to control political affairs
in this southern belt of the city has
been brought to a sudden halt and If
he defeats his opponents it WIZ be only
after sanguinary conflict.
In an effort to name the Assembly
man from this district and the Sena-
tor from the Nineteenth Senatorial
District, composed of the Thirty-sec-
ond and the Thirty-ifth Assembly dis
tricts, the organization has appointed
a committee to select delegates from
these districts to the State and the
Legislative and Judicial conventions.
1t is claimed that in the appointment
of the committee Ruef failed to confer
with the voters Of the district as to
their wishes. The result is that last
night. under the leadership of Senator
r. J. Welch, Supervisor Fred Bent and
State Central Committeeman Joseph
Armstrong, the opposition met in
Maennerbund Hall, Protrero avenue.
near Twenty-fourth street, and organ
lied. taking the name Of the Roosevelt
Club of the Thirty-second Assembly
District.
Joseph Armstrong was elected preSi-
dent of the club, the other officers Sc
lected being as follows: First vice pres
ident, Fred Cosgrove; second vice
president, Captain C. e. Douglass;
third vice president, Thomas Cavan-
augh; treasurer, George w. Penning-
ton; secretary, Halle B. Davidson;
sergeant-at-arms, Thomas Ryan.
After the preliminary work had been
disposed of, Senator WEIGH announced
to the large assembly the object of the
meeting. He said that outside infiu-
ences were reaching into the district
in an effort to control its political des-
tiny, and this without consulting the
voters of the district. AS he believed
in home rule, he said, he thought the
residents Of the district should take
action to thwart the outside organiza-
ton and place a ticket of delegates in
the field in opposition to that the or
ganization seeks to elect at the pri-
maries.
Mr.. Welch's address was warmly an
plauded and upon motion committee
of seventeen was appointed to select
delegates to run in opposition to those
named by the organization. The fol-
lowing compose the Selection Commit
tee: Fred N. Bent, Halle B. David
son, Ed. Barry, William McKoen,
