sembly conventions-Who
the Delegates Are

The white dove of peace never lost
pinfeather by reason of the regular
Republican caucuses yesterday. Inc
dove was In harmony" There was no
Jar in he whole program.
And this was because Painless Par
ker manipulated the whole drama from
behind the scenes with a true hand ana
a perfect drill. It seemed to possess all
the rapidity of a Mormon election, Tor
the resolutions presented and adopted
at all the caucuses were subsequently
modified" with heavy black pencil
The resolutions, as read at the Sew
enty-fifth district, were the same as
those presented at all the other con-
ventions. 1t was a specially prepared
"spontaneity' and enthusiasm" that
seemed. in the Judgment of the man
with the black pencil, to be a little re-
dundant The resolutions originally
declared in favor of a continuance OF
the wise and statesmanlike policies IN
augurated and carried forward by the
administration of Theodore Roosevelt
The resolutions as adopted, omitting
the quoted phrase, were as follows:
Inc tl6.)uDllCduS VI TIC ooNSheJ AAANAA
assembly district in convention as
sembled, hereby declare in favor of the
nomination by the national Republican
convention of a successor to our pres
ent chief executive who is committed
to a continuance of the principles or
the Republican party as inaugurated
and adhered to by President Roosevelt
and his cabinet.
1--WE realize that there are other great
rfx well and
ably qualified for the grave RESPONSE
bilitise of the presidency of the United
States: but we feel that the choice OF
the large majority of the Republicans
of this country points distinctly and
unmist kably to the Hon. William II.
Taft as the one man most eminently
qualified for the exalted dignity of the
chief executive of this republic.
lndorses Taft
"Appreciating his high moral and in
tellectual endowments, and recognizing
in him a statesman of the first mag
nitude, pre-eminently qualified by rea-
son of his remarkable services in the
judicial, diplomatic and administrative
branches Of the government for the
worldwide duties incumbent upon the
chief executive of this great nation, we
enthusiastically declare ourselves In
favor of William H. Taft for president
of the United States, and we hereby
instruct the delegates to the Repub-
lican state convention from the Sew
enty-fifth assembly district to use thelr
best efforts to secure the election or
delegates to the national Republican
convention from California pledged to
William H. Taft for the presidential
nomination.; and the said delegates are
hereby further instructed, when IN SAID
convention assembled at Sacramento
to vote In favor of the Endorsement by
said convention of the Hon. William II.
Taft of Ohio for president"
The Seventy-f1fth was typical con-
vention in the city. 1t organized with
Justice Summerfield as chairman and
Paul johnson as secretary. Eleven
men were proposed for delegates.
There were oAly eleven to elect. The
secretary cast the ballot of the entire
caucus, numbering eighty-eight dele
gates fro mthe precincts, according to
a motion tha- carried unanimously, for
the eleven named. The Endorsement OF
Taft was cheered. That was all.
In some of the country districts there
was little division over the represen-
tation of the different communities,
and ballots were necessary, but for the
most part the action was "spontan-
eous."
