Members Of State central committee
were elected as follows: Eugene F.
Lacey and L. Byington.
David s. Hirshberg is a lawyer and
has been identified with the Democrat
ic party in Alameda county and in San
Francisco for many years.
The Democratic convention for the
Board of Equalization, First District,
was an adjourned meeting from Sacra-
mento. There were two nominees,
Charles H. McGreevy and D. A White.
The former Withdrew and the nomi-
nation OF the latter was made unani-
nous.
The following committees were ap-
pointed by Chairman j. Emmett II.

tion: Committee on purity OF election

O'Brien. John Greedy and Joseph Slye.

1t was nearly 10 o'clock when the
Democrats completed their conven-
tions, and all that time the Doodle
Dees were anxiously sitting around
their headquarters awaiting the re-
suit. They looked at their watches and
the leaders commented among them
selves about the length Of time 1t was
taking the mother party TO make Sc
lections. Then the agents arrived with
the names Of the nominees.
The tired Doodle Dees lined them
selves up along the walls OF the small
The San Francisco call., 1906-09-23

ed the names of the candidates select
ed by the Democrats, who were holding
conventions also, and the poor Doodle
Dees nominated them. Accordingly
the following two nominations were
made by both the Democratic party
and its calf, the Doodle Dee: For
Congress from the Fourth District,
David S. Hirshberg, and for member of
the State Board of Equalization from
the First District, David Agustin
White, Familiarity known as Gus
White.
When the Democrats declared non1i-
nations in order for a candidate for
Congress from the Fourth District, the
following names were presented: Her
bert Choynski, Henry L. Bienfeld and
David S. Hirshberg. The first ballot
resulted in the following votes:
Choynski, 43; Bienieid, 46, and Hirsh-
berg, 5. A majority vote was neces-
sary and thus another ballot was or
dered.
At this point Choynski's name was
withdrawn in favor of Hirshberg. 1t
was evident that Bienfield would be
defeated, and so he withdrew.
The following committees were ap-
pointed by Chairman L. F. Byington Of
the Democratic Congressional conven-
ton: Committee on purity of cleo

tomorrow at 1878 Golden Gate avenue

MARCH OF THE DOODLE DEES.
Not single Doodle Dee received
the courtesy of nomination from the
Labor party. Not a single suggestion
OF nomination was made. The Doodle
Dees must paddle their own political
canoe. District Attorney Langdon
spoke at the Union Iron Works yes
terday and the temperature in the
neighborhood fell several degrees. The
next time the Doodle Dees invade the
Potrero they will come armed with
muff1ers and overcoats and not with
cameras.
They are to start shortly on their
ridiculous automobile trip through the
State. One may easily imagine the
reception they will receive. If there
is anything on earth that will make
farmer "cuss" it is an automobile
and when the Doodle Dees show up
not only in the devil wagon but with
band it will be a case of "to the
woods for the farmers.
The Doodle Dees appear to have neg
lected only one feature that might have
added to the success of their country
march. They DO not appear to have
engaged a patent medicine man to go
along, but Joe Dwyer may be OF the
party, and if he speaks as he did yes
terday at the Union Iron Works neither
a spieler nor fireworks will be neces-
sary.
