Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-22

we feel special pride in the manner
in which a distinguished fellow citi-
zen has lived up to the full measure
or our expectations as national legis-
lator and congratulate the entire state
on having as one of its representatives
! In the United States senate our friend
Flint.
To our representative in congress,
Hon. James McLachlan, and to his can
Stttuents we extend our congra tula-
tions, and assure him of our unquali-
f1ed and unanimous support FOR re-
election to position which he so ably
fills and so richly deserves.
I'VE commend the business-like and
patriotic course of our present dele
Gat.ons in both houses Of the state
Legislature.
Whereas the respective justices Of
the supreme court being requl led to
perform the same official duties and
each performing an equal share there
of. they should all receive the same
amount Of compensation; therefore
"VIew With Alarm"
Resolved, That we favor the adop-
ton of assembly constitutional amend
m 'nt No II, which equalizes the sala-
ries of all said justices and provides
that the increase made by the act of
1866 shall take effect upon all of them
alike January 1, 1907.
Resolved. That the Republican
party is and has always been a. con-
sistent advocate of decency and moral
ity; that 1t cannot and will not counte-
nance any institution which lowers the
moral tone of the community or tends
to the degrade tion of the individual;
that while the racing of horses, proper
ly conducted. is not and should not be
the subject of just criticism, the con-
duct of race tracks solely for the pro-
motion of gambling is pernicious in
the extreme and is disgraceful blot
upon any community.
Resolved. further, that believing
that pool selling, bookmaking and all
kinds Of race track gambling a carried
on are detrimental to good morals. we
instruct our senators and representa-
tives in the state legislature to secure
state legislation prohibiting the same

Put Up Their Money
After the adoption Of the report
which was by acclamation, the conven-
ton took a recess of fifteen minutes
while the chairmen of various dele
cations collected 81 from each of the
delegates
The convention then adjourned to
4:30 until which hour the candidates
or their friends We're given to record
their names and present to the seore-
tary their fees, which were uniformly
$40, except a S to a few candidates in
outside districts.
Few of the candidates received rec
ognition as they mounted the platform
and altogether the new system Of MAX
ing nominations made the affair quite
tame,
Practically the only exception to the
recognition rule was "Billy" Hammel,
who received something akin to an
ovation. Werdin received scattering
hand-claps, but Burr was entirely
overlooked. t
At o'clock the convention adjourned
until TO give additional candidates
an opportunity of registering.
