where they held the regular biennial
convention, the object of which was to
select delegates to the state and dis
trict conventions, and nominate candi-
dates for supervisor in townships l, 2,
and 4.
| A. Caminetti, as chairman of the
county central committee, called the
meeting to order, and asked the con-
vention to name temporary chair
man. U 5 Gregory was unanimously
| elected as such, and Judge Rust and
r. G. Bole were requested to conduct
him to his post, which duty they per.
formed with much dignity, and to the
satisfaction of the delegates. Mr..
Gregory thanked the convention for
the honor conferred upon him, and
spoke for twenty minutes, urging all
democrats to be true to the faith and
support the nominees of the party.
The chairman felt proud of his county,
saw much in its management to COM
mend, but thought it unwise and unfair
to those in power to too severely con-
demn every fancied mistake The
chairman remarks met with the ap-
proval of the convention, as was
evinced by the liberal applause given
him.
VIM. Guilds of township five was Sc
lected as secretary. and the following
committees were appointed, after which

Soracco.
The afternoon session began with
music by the band. The various COM
mittees reported, the temporary officers
were made the permanent officers, the
platform was adopted, which by the
way was very short, simply re-atfirm,
ing the st. Louis platform, pledging
support to Parker and Davis. and con.
demning the management of the coun.
ty hospital, pledging a more economical
administration of the affairs of that in
stitution in case the democratic super.
visors were elected.
A. Caminetti, r. G. Rust, r. G.
Bole, and D. B. Spagnoli in turn ad-
dressed the convention.
A. Caminetti assailed our canal pol
icy. Was fearful lest the government OF
France would be loser thereby Re
GREETED that Napoleon had passed
away. Was afraid Roosevelt had set
a bad precedent in the Venezuelan
affair. Eulogized Parker and Cleve
land. Informed the convention that
Franklin K. Lane had been elected
governor of California by 5000 majority
and robbed of the position through the
action of incompetent supervisors
throughout the state, and closed by
saying that as the canal had beer
started it should be completed This
latter statement brought forth ap.
plause; the other generalities falling
fiat upon the ears of the listeners.
Judge Rust spoke on imperialism,
anti-Chinese legislation, and the fitness
of a judicial mind for the presidency.
| r. G. Bole grew eloquent over des.
potism in our island possessions, con.
|, demned our European game warden,
and sat down amid the silence of the
convention that had failed to catch the
inspiration.
D. B. Spagnoli longed for the return
of the good old times of or 10 wears
ago. Rejoiced in the fact that he had
always been democrat, and pledged
himself to remain true to the last.
The following delegates to the state
and district convention were then an
nounced by the various township dele
gates, and indorsed by the convention
Township I'D. B. Spagnoli and A.
Caminetti.
Township 2-John Scully.
Township 3-Jas. LESLEY.

Township 81. Burke.
The different townships nominated
candidates for superv isors as follows:
Township One-M. Newman.
Township Two. L. Clifton.
Township Four-D. A. Frasier.
The chairman then announced that
before coming into the convention hall
he had felt very doubtful about Par
ker's election, but after listening to
the soul inspiring eloquence of the
various speakers he had cast all doubt
aside, and felt that after the Sth of
November the Japanese would have no
trouble in securing the services of
Teddy" to lead their armies on to
victory.
After naming one committeeman
from each voting precinct the conven-
tion arose, and with bowed heads lis
tened to the familiar strains to them
OF that popular tune, Sailing down
salt river.' - n
The convention was then declared
adjourned, and the central committee
met and organized by selecting 7. M.
Ryan chairman, and Geo. Lucot Sec
retary.
