Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-27

partisan city central committee should
be accepted.
we recommend the election in his
place of James A Foshay. For similar
reasons X. j. Waters has rendered his
resignation as treasurer of Your COM
mittee. Since he has asked that it take
erect Immediately and since there was
need OF a treasurer, your executive COM
mlttee has elected j. c. Kays to that
position, and asks that this action be
approved by your body.
Executive Committee Increased
"As provided for in the call for this
meeting, we recommend that section
III of the plan of organization of
your body shall be amended SO as to
read as follows:
The chairman shall appoint %
members of committee of 25, of which
the said officers (the chairman, treas
urer and secretary of the central COM
mittee) shall be members eX-officio,
which said committee shall be known
as the executive committee. The chair
man shall have like power to appoint
from time to time such other commit
tees as in his judgment may be neces-
sary or proper to carry out the purposes
of this organization, and shall also have
power, with the approval of the execu-
tive committee, to fill vacancies in the
central committee; and shall also have
power in his discretion and with the
approval of the executive committee, to
appoint additional members to the CEN
tral committee to total number not
exceeding twenty-five
The section presented for amendment
is altered at only two points, to wit, by
increasing the number of the executive
committee from ten to twenty-five, and
by making it possible to increase
the original membership of the central
committee by a number not exceeding
twenty-five. The purpose is solely to
strengthen and increase the efficiency
of both central committee and eXecu-
tive committee; and your executive
committee unanimously recommends
the adoption of the amendment.
Asks Further Time
Your committee had expected to re-
port to you at this time nominations
recommending a city ticket, complete
or nearly complete. After further con-
sideration in which we have been aided
by earnest friends of this movement,
we have decided to withhold such
recommendation for brief further
time. This delay is caused not by a
lack of available candidates for the
offices as to which your committee re-
mains IA. doubt, but by our determi-
natioa that the very best man shall be
named Tor each position, and by our
eoneh ! that the ticket, when named,
= named as whole We can
gu, however, that the ticket
f. fered for your approval will
re high a uniform standard as
h before been attained in Los
A. -and could not possibly be at
tail u by the usual methods We ask
leave to defer further report on the
matter of nominations until the next
meeting of your body, which will be
called early i'm October.
Finally your committee desires to
report that since its appointment it has
worked steadily, faithfully and with
such measure of intelligence as has
been vouchsafed to it, in behalf of the
great cause to which your body stands
committed. There has been violent on
position to this cause-there Will be
even more violent opposition before IL
finally trlumphs-but your committee
has not the slightest doubt that IT will
triumph this year in Los Angeles. and
largely by reason of the steadiness
with which your body has resisted eff
forts to disrupt it.
Respectfully submitted
RUSS AVERY, Chairman"
