REPUBLICANS
MEET TONIGHT
Local Convention Is Ready
to Nominate Ticket for
Judges and Legislators
FUSION Is NOT WANTED
Nineteenth District Again
Endorses Richard J. WEIGH
for the State Senate

Delegates to the local nominating
convention of the Republican party,
who were chosen at the primary cleo
ton on August 9, will meet at Pioneer
Hall this evening. Candidates for the
Legislature and four Judges of the Su-
perior Court are to be nominated. In
several districts legislative nominees OF
the party have already been named,
and the subject of ratifying such selec-
tions by the main convention may be
introduced. In the Nineteenth Sena-
torial District Richard j. WEIGH has
been renominated. In the twenty
third Senatorial District George d.
Keane has received the nomination.
There is gossip in political circles to
the effect that Marley, the nominee of
the Union Labor party for State Sen
ator from the Seventeenth District, and
Mindhan, the nominee of the same par
ty for Assemblyman from the Twenty
eighth District, are to be Endorsed by
the Republican delegates tonight.
In the Republican ranks of the Sew
enteenth Senatorial and Twenty eighth
Assembly districts the earnest hope is
expressed that small bosses and politl-
cal manipulators will keep hands OF
and give the Republican leaders and
workers an opportunity to name the
candidates for the Legislature from
these districts. 1t is asserted that Re-
publican unity and strength cannot be
promoted by fusion. The regular stall
wart workers of the Republican party
want straight out Republican nomina-
TONS and express the hope that A.
Ruef, John c. Lynch and other non
residents of the Seventeenth Senatorial
District will not mix in and hand out
states TO the delegates. The districts
are now represented by Democrats, and
the success of a fusion movement would
not better conditions in a political
sense Markey and Mindhan have in
dorsed the platform and principles of
the Union Labor party, and 1t is argued
that they cannot consistently approve
the principles and policies of the Re-
publican party. The Republicans of
the Twenty eighth and Twenty ninth
districts, however, insist on the right
of preserving their party organization
by nominating well-known Republicans
for the Legislature.
With perfect unaninity the Repub-
lican delegates of the Nineteenth SEN
atorial District met yesterday afternoon
in the Mission Masonic Hall and NOM
mated Richard ]. WEIGH, who has just
completed a term as Senator from the
Nineteenth, for reelection. Following
the meeting of the Senatorial district,
the Thirty-fifth Assembly District held
a short meeting and nominated Edward
+. Treadwell as its candidate for AS
semblyman. The Thirty Assem-
bly, District which with the Thirty
fifth forms the Nineteenth Senatorial
District, did not hold a meeting, or
ganization being lacking in the ranks
of the delegates.
The chairman appointed by the Sen
atorial district delegates was John 5.
Partridge, Deputy City Attorney. Har-
nv Hall was chosen secretary. John w.
King made a short speech nominating
Senator WEIGH, whose election by the
delegates was unanimous The neces-
sary business accompanying the nom
ination was transacted, and after
short speech by Charles M. Shortridge
the meeting adjourned.
Immediately following the Senatorial
meeting the delegates of the Thirty
fifth Assembly District were called to
order by John S. Partridge, the chair
man. and z. F. Treadwell was unan-
imously chosen. After some routine
business the meeting adjourned.
The Thirty-fourth Assembly District
delegates to the Republican local con-
vention met at Twin Peaks Hall yes
terday and organized by the election of
Vincent Dolan as chairman and Ben F.
Jones as secretary. The candidacy of
Fred Severance for the Assembly was
Endorsed.
