Republicans of the State Meet in
Harmonious Session.

Republicans will open the political
campaign in California on Monday,
May 16. The executive committee of
the State League of Republican Clubs
yesterday decided that club represen
tatives should assemble at Sacramento
in biennial convention on that day.
Two days later the Republican State
Convention called to elect four dele
gates at large to the Republican Ma
tional Convention will assemble in Sac
ramento.
There was a general meeting Of the
State Committee at Golden Gate Hall
in this city yesterday afternoon. The
event that evoked the greatest enthu-
siasm of the occasion was thes unani-
nous adoption Of resolution declar-
ing the committees unfaltering loyalty
and devotion to President Theodore
Roosevelt and recommending that the
coming State convention pledgeit its del
egation to the national convention to
use all honorable endeavor to secure
his nomination. The resolution was
introduced by John F. Davis of Anna
dor.
The initial proceedings brought out
a large representation Of the commit
tee membership. The only amendment
to the call for State convention as
framed by the executive committee at
the Union League Club Friday even
ing, and published in The Call yester-
day. was the designation of Sacra
mento as the place of meeting. Sec
tions of the call relative to the recog-
milton of the primary election law were
fully discussed by party leaders and
the Judgment of the executive body was
sustained With reference to the Sc
lection of delegates to represent the
several Congressional districts in the
national convention the letter and spirit
of the call of the Republican National
Committee were respected. Congress
sional committees will have a free hand
to act in their own capacity.
1t Is recommended, however, that the
primary election law Of California shall
be observed in the selection Of dele
gates to the Republican State Conven-
ton called for. the purpose of electing
four delegates at large to the national
convention.
Among the we'll known Republicans
present were:
R. N. Bulla. Thomas Hughes. and ]. W.

ConventionCaII
to Meet in Sac
ramento.

The executive committee Of the CALI
fornia League Of Republican Clubs
held a meeting yesterday afternoon at
the Union League Club and resolved
that the next biennial convention of
the State league should be held in
Sacramento on May Is and II. The
session of the executive committee was
attended by Lieutenant Governor AL
den Anderson. president of the organ
izatiOn: FELTON, Taylor. secretary; JOS
eph Spear. Charles NJ. BeIshaw, Harold
T. Power, Thomas II. Selvage, o. A.
Hale. S c. Smith, Henry c.. Dibble
and A r. Lennon.
The president asked for an expires
sion of opinion regarding the time and
place of holding the next convention.
The fact was cited that the State con-
ventiOn of the Republican party would
be held in Sacramento on Wednesday.
May is, and it was suggested that the
league convention should meet at 2
D. m. on Monday, May Is. and adjourn
on Tuesday night. May II. The sug-
gestion was put in the form of resO-
luton and adopted on motion of o. A.
Hale.
1t was decided that each Republican
club of the State should be entitled to
one delegate for every twenty-five en-
rolled members, and that club presi-
dents and secretaries be ex-Officio del
egates. The representation is the same
as that adopted two years ago. when
the call for the San Jose convention
was issued.
After considerable discussion wheth-
er there should be only short
speeches at the convention or quite
number of brief talks and a limited
number of set speeches. motion was
made to refer the subject to a COM
mittee on programme. On motion OF
H. c. DibbIe, seconded by A b. Lem
mon, the president of the league was
authorized to name a committee OF
five on platform and a committee of
three on programme. The president
of the league is required to serve on
each committee.
1t is expected that the citizens Of
Sacramento will provide a hall for the
convention and make the customary
arrangements for the entertainment OF
delegates. There are indications that
a large number of visitors will be in
Sacramento throughout the week be-
ginning May is.

will make the campaign brilliant and
strong was the campaign of the immortal
Mckinley.
]. o. Hayes of San Jose spoke on
The Obligations of California to the
Republican Party" He said in part:
The Republicans know their duty to the Re
publican party and they intend do it. We
owe a duty 10 the party and a duty TO our
selves. The leader is already selected and in
his selection the issue is already before US
President Roosevelt stands for everything that
is foremost in the Republican party. His ad-
ministration has been progressive and at the
same time safe. Although fastener by
birth, he is hlled with the spirit of the West
be represents the Republican principles Of the
Republicans Of this State. With such a
leader and with such issues TO back him, can
there be a better man to further the interests
OF this State2 Do away with petty jealousies
and stand Loyalty for the success Of the Re
publican party. We VIII get Democratic sup
port with Theodore Roosevelt at the head OF
ticket
We must all stand together. and we will
have such a victory that we will feel proud
we are not only Republicans but Californians.
The quartet then sang a humorous

was raised for it's adoption. The SEN
timent of the committee was we'll ex-
pressed by Senator Davis, who said:
ut would be most revolutionary for
us to arrogate to ourselves the power
proposed by The amendment. The
Republican party does not want any
man or set of men to dictate it's rep
resentation. Primary elections are
not mandatory in all the counties. In
the smaller counties the draft rightly
leaves the manner of selecting dele
gates to the county committees. This
is simply horse sense. If the public
pressure is worth considering the
county committees will consider it,
for their members we'll know that if
they do not they will lose their
heads"
After the defeat of Prior's amend
ment the sections of the draft were
passed without further objection until
the apportionment of delegates was
reached. Hooking of Stanislaus asked
why the former rule allowing each
county a delegate at large had been
departed from and argued that the
interior of the State was thus de-
prived of part of its rightful strength
in the convention. Chairman Hayes
ruled that the primary election law
required the delegates to be elected
by the several Assembly districts,
rather than by the countiesDas such.
Judge H. c. Dibble was the next to
propose a change in the draft. He
moved to strike out from the twelfth
section the words "and file the nee
essary petition in accordance with
law" which, he declared, made the
section an attempt on the part of the
State Central Committee to dictate to
the Congressional district committees
that they must order primary cleo
tions. Judge Dibble's amendment
was also lost after several members of
the executive committee had pointed
out that the section as drafted was in
line with the primary election law
and did not invade the legitimate
functions of the Congressional dis
trict committees. The vote against
the amendment was almost unani-
nous.
MCKINLEY AND HANNA.
All the sections having been passed
seriatim, c. NJ. Belshaw moved that
the call, as amended, be adopted as
whole. This was carried. Senator r.
N. Bulla of Los Angeles thenNmOved
a memorial upon the death offPres-
ident Mckinley, saying in support of
his motion:

Senator Perkins announcing that he
and Senator Bard had presented "a

CHOICE OF DELEGATES.

When the fourth paragraph of the
draft was reached an amendment was
offered by John L. Prior of the Thirty
fifth District, San Francisco This sec
tion, as drawn, provided that in coun-
ties where the code sections calling for
primary elections are not obligatory
and mandatory the delegates to the
State convention may be appointed or
elected in such manner as shall be de-
termined by the respective county
committees. Prior moved that this be
amended so as to give the power of
appointing the convention delegates
from each Assembly district to the
representative from that district in
the State Central Committee.
The amendment provoked a short,
sharp debate, in the course of which
the executive committees draft was
supported by Senator John F. Davis
of Amador. Judge j. w. Mckinley of
Los Angeles, Charles Fl. Spear of Ala
media and T. c. Hooking of Stanislaus
The only speaker in favor of the
amendment was A. b. Truman of the

( the unavoidable absence of Chairman
William NJ. Cutter. Mr.. Hayes brief
iy stated the object of the meeting
to be the formulation and adoption Of
call for the Republican State Con-
vention, and directed the calling of the
roll by Secretary Charles E. Shook of
Oakland. The roll showed seventy
members Of the State Central Commit
tee and nearly every one of the MEM
bers of the executive committee to be
present in person or by proxy.
Shortly after the meeting opened
Abraham Ruef entered and presented
the proxy of Supervisor L. A. Rea.
A ripple of laughter swept over the
committee on Ruef's appearance, but
no objection to his presence was made
and he took no part in the proceed
ings beyond voting on all the ques-
tions submitted.
After the reading of the call of the
National Republican Committee the
acting chairman introduced the real
business Of the meeting by saying:
''At a session of your executive COM
mittee held last evening the form of
call for the meeting of the State con-
vention was agreed upon. 1t will be
read by the secretary section by sec
tion, and unless objections are made
to any section when read that section
will be held to be approved"

ed in yesterdays newspapers, was then
read, and after some discussion was
adopted with a single amendment
