DEMOCRATS NAME
IRREGULAR" TICKETS
Organization Retains Old
Reliables and Counts on
EIecting Delegates


The regular democratic organization
has completed its lists of delegate
tickets and its candidates for seats
in the Fresno state convention are now
waiting for the primary election to
determine their fate.
1t has become a habit for the fol-
lowers of the regular organization
with Gavin McNab as their political
boss and Thomas w Hickey as chair
man of theif county committee, to look
upon their position as impregnable
and all opposition as unworthy of their
steel.
This way OF regarding the condition
OF the democratic organization has un-
doubtediy been justified by the past
performances of the antis, who have
tried Intellectually to dislodge McNab
from control In accordance with it
the regular democrats have this year
made no special ante primary fight, not
even holding open meetings in the vari-
GUS assembly districts. The members
OF the county committee for the dis
tricts have merely sat down together
and. made up tickets for submission to
the voters These tickets are now in
the mails and short but vigorous
canvass Of the democratic voters will
be made by. the district leaders in the
time remaining before the primaries.
ORGANIZATION SEEMS SOLID
: There is no doubt that the anti
McNab. democrats. organized under the
name of the. San Francisco democratic
club, are in much better shape for
primary fight than they were last year.
They have clubs in all the districts,
they completed their tickets before the
regulars did and. they are making an
aggressive. campaign.
But a study of the regular ticket
indicates that. there have been no i'm
.portant OBJECTIONS from the ranks of
the organization. The old reliables are
nearly all on the list as candidates for
delegates and those who are conspicu-
-ous by their absence In most instances
say that they will be unable to leave
their business for the trip TO Fresno.
There is only one contingency which
the regulars fear and that is apathy
among the democrats that may result
in light vote. Both wings of the
party are pledged to the candidacy Of
William j. Bryan and there is no state
wide fight for control of the state GEN.
tral committee, as. there is on the re-
publican side, so the democratic vote
may. be light In that event, say the
body. But the MeNab men profess
complete assurance that victory will
once more perch on the banner Of the
county committee.
