DEMOCRATS WILL
WAGE FIGHT FOR SEMEL.
Resolutions Praise Council Candidate.
Going to State Convention-Club
Leader Talks of Prospects

The Leveen Democratic Club, OF which
Alderman Michael Leveen is ~nda
bearer, decided last night to make as Dig
a showing as possible at the State conVen-
ton. aud to that end eDery member Is
urged to go to Trenton. The convention
will take place next Tuesday.
Louis Semel, Democratic candidate for
Alderman in the Third Ward, told the Lee
veen Club last night that he felt certain of
success at the November election.
The club adopted the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas. The Democratic voters of the
Third Ward at their recent primary noml-
mated their various ward candidates Tor

her and whereas our fellow member,
Louis Semel, received the high honor OF

have such an easy time. In the Regular
plank there was no mention made of a
public utilities commission. The Colbyites
desired that as much as anything else.
Senator Colby and Sheriff Sommer We're
COZ suited about the proposed elimination of
the plank OF the platform. The Colbyites
averred that there would be no harmony
in any phase unless, the public utilities
commission plank were inserted. They
won.
Rumors began TO fly around that the
whole platform would be changed, owing
to the fact that the committee was in ses-
sion SO long. There were conferences be-
tween the Regulars on one side and the
New Idea men on the other. and combi-
nation conferences, too. The plank went
in.
The committee on rules was waiting for
the resolutions committee to complete its
work and the band played while the crowd
waited. Former Alderman Pennington. or
the former committee. made the report.
The rules were the familiar ones govern
ing conventions, including a rule to refer
all resolutions to the committee on resoiu-
tons without debate,
This caused a storm at once from the
Colby camp. Herman B.. Walker moved
that such a rule be stricken from the re-
port, as 1t prevented a full expression of
opinions of each delegate as to what should
go in the platform. 1t was a Colby move
to have their substitute platform consid-
cred.
Mr.. Walker expatiated on the unfairness
of the rule, walking up and down the
aisles. ge~sticulating vigorously. A roll call
was asked on the motion. 1t was the first
test Of strength. The New Idea polled just
221 votes out OF the $50, and the motion
was lost.
This viii be the last light Of the night

remarked Assistant Prosecutor Mott, who
was later proved a poor prophet.
The trouble began again as soon as the
resolutions committee made its report. The
platform, minus the Colby civil service re-
forms and direct primaries for all offices,
did not suit Sheriff Frank II. Sommer,
who entered the lists at this point for the
New Idea men.
He moved that separate consideration
he made of every plank in the platform,
so that when the work had been completed
the delegates would know whether they
were satisfied or no with its wording and
provisions.
Chairman Dalrymple at once objected,
stating that the platform as offered repre-
sented the best thought Of the Essex Re-
publican executive committee.
ut contains, too, the amendment made
10 1t in the session of the committee on
resolutions" he said. referring TO the pub
lie utilities commission plank. Some peo-
pie want the earth" quoth he, but all re-
forms cannot be gained In a year."
This was a hot shot at the New Idea,
but the Sheriff, as its champion, was on his
feet in a jiffy to carry on the battle for his
followers.
'Mr. Chairman and gentlemen said he,
this is a Republican county convention,
and under the party law this body shall
write its own platform. 1t nay be true
that the executive committee has prepared
a platform foe you. We demand for the
delegates in this convention hall the right
to write our own platform.
1T may be true that the executive conf
mittee is entrusted to consider the plat
form, but all conventions concede the right
to make amendments. It i'll becomes the

MEET TO ARRANGE FOR
BISHOPS BILL DEBATE.

Edward S. Black, who accepted the chal-
lenge of the Leveen Democratic Associa-
ton. published in the EVENING STAR
some time ago to debate on the Sunday
question, met a committee Of the a%ssocia-
headed by Hurry Marks, chairman,
this afternoon in his office. The subject
will be, Resolved. That the Bishops LAW
should Not be Repealed or Materially
Modified
Mr.. Black will uphold the affirmative.
and a prominent" lawyer will tax up thc
negative side. Tie latter's name was with
held by the committee. 1t was decided
that the debate be held the latter part OF
next month, probably in the Kruger Audi
forum.
When the question Of Judges came up
Mr.. Black suggested that members Of the
press be asked to act. Newspaper men
are inclined to be impartial" said he. Mr..
Marks and the other members of the CONF
mittee, Alexander Klein, Abraham Gold
berg and G.. L. Rosenfeldt, thought the
same.
Mr.. Black was told that he would be
treated with the utmost courtesy and given
a square deal.

CHESTER THOMPSON TO PEN.
Father of the Youthful Slayer Seeks
Good Quarters I'm Prison,

Judge VIII H. Thompson, father Of
Chester Thompson, slayer of Judge
Emery at Seattle. is in the city, and
1t is rumored, is spending the day at
the penitentiary in an effort to Sc
cure the best possible accommodations
for his son Chester. who, owing TO the
passing of the Graves bill will
shortly be confined at the peniten-
tiary instead of in the asylum, SAYS
the Walla Walla Statesman.
This law has been fought bitterly by
Judge Thompson, but 1t is said that
since its passing he has become some
what reconciled to the commitment
OF his son to the penitentiary because
Of the fact that he will not have to
wear the prison stripes.
The Graves bill provides that all
criminally insane shall be removed
from the asylums to the penitentiary.
1t takes effect tomorrow, and for that
reason Judge Thompson's visit here
IS thought to have some relation with
the confinement of his son in the
penitentiary.
