RIVAL FACTIONS
BEFORE BOARD
Battle Between Warning Re-
publicans for. Control of
/ a Congressional District

With much oratory the contending
factions of the Republican party in the
Fourth Congressional District occupied
the attention of the Election Commits
sion last night and the battle will be
continued this afternoon at o'clock.
Following the reading of certified
copies of the rival petitions filed with
the Secretary of State, Maurice l.. Ash
er. representing the Riordan commit
tee, addressed the. board. He said that
as another petition had been filed he
was prepared to demonstrate that those
whom he represented were the only
regularly constituted body empowered
to name delegates for a convention in
the Fourth Congressional District. He
quoted from the Supreme Court deci-
sion in the 114th California Reports
Mcdonald versus Hinton Mr.. Asher
then dwelt upon the fact that he was
delegate to the. State convention at
Sacramento and that the same dele
gates represented the Fourth Con-
gressional District. The subsequent
meetings We're then gone into by the
speaker, and mention was made of that
memorable meeting at Golden Gate
Hall in 1902, when there was so much
commotion caused by the opposition
that an adjournment became neces-
sary before the transaction of any
business of Importance.
Mr.. Asher stated that all of the min
utes of the various meetings would not
be accessible until to-day, as they had
been shipped from Paraiso Springs by
the names of the delegates present at
the Golden Gate Hall meeting, and also
the committee of fifteen appointed to
represent the Fourth Congressional
district. Asher declared that the min
utes of the meeting of March %, 1904,
would show that the committee Of
which he was the chairman had power
to file all petitions.
Martin Kelly declared that it was a
question of law as well as fact. Col
onel Eddy, in reply to a question, said
that for the purpose of expediting the
hearing he would be willing to admit
that Messrs. Haskins and Brown, who
were present would corroborate Asher.
Colonel Eddy, fianked by Lewis III.
Anderson, chairman, and Martin Kelly.
secretary of the opposition committee
of the Republican party in the Fourth
Congressional District. presented his
views. He maintained that the Elec-
tion Commissioners have no jurisdic-
tion to take any action in relation to
which committee is the genuine one.
