Amador ledger., 1906-09-07

the law contemplates, and as the tax.
payers have the right to expect.
We deplore the fact that each county
in the state is deprived by the exist
ing law from having representative
of its own in our state legislature,
unhampered and 1nembarassed by the
conflicting interests of other counties,
and we urge our representatives to
use their best endeavors to rectify
this evil.
We pledge our earnest support 10 the
candidates that may be nominated by
the congressional, senatorial and as
sembly districts of which this county
forms part, and to the nominees of
the party generally to be named at
the coming state convention.
The committee on order of business
and organization reported recon-
mending that the temporary officers
be made permanent, and the usual
oIder of business.
All the reports of committees were
| adopted as read.
Judge K. G. Rust moved that each
candidate placed before the eonven-
| tion be required to deposit with the
secretary the sum of So for the good
| of the cause. w. l.. Rose wanted to
make it $40 on county officers and So
OH township candidates. There was
so much opposition to this plan that
the amendment was withdrawn, and
the So call was adopted.
Nominations.
Nomination for sheriff and tax
collector was first on the list. j. W.
Surface of lone nominated U. S. Greg
DRY in brief speech. 1t twas un-
necessary to eulogize him. He had
been sheriff for ten years. No'sheriff
in this county had ever landed so
many criminals behind prison walls
as he. He ranked with Hume, Cum
ningham, Ben Thorn and other noted
sheritfs of the state.
D. B. Spagnoli seconded the nomin-
alton and predicted that he would be
the next sheriff. There was no other
candidate, and he was declared the
unanimous choice of the convention.
The nominee, after planking down
the required gold piece, made a
speech. He said this made the fourth
time he had been nominated for
sheritf-three time unanimously. He
was proud of the honor thus bestowed
upon him. and whether elected or de-
feated he would give them no cause
for regret. He would do his best to
win. He called upon all present to
help him, and if they did so he would
be the next sheriff.
Some delegate from the body of the
room shouted, "You won't have to
sell peanuts after election"
Gregory had finished the remarks
he wanted to make, but this voice
from the unknown caused him to
launch forth again with considerable
feeling. He did not know whether
tine remark was intended sa compli-
ment or sluI. He did sell peanuts,
and was not ashamed of it, or any
other kind of honest labor. This little
incident was the only source of
amusement for the day.
