Committee on resolutions reported
the following:
Gentlemen your committee on plat
form and resolutions begs leave to
report the following:
We must heartily indorse the re-
publican national administration. 1t
has by its matchless craftsmanship
increased the prestige of our country
and security at home. We
have no doubt OF the ratification of
its purposes and policies at the COM
ing election, aud that our country
men will tIiumphantiy elect as presi-
dent Of the United States that fear
less conscientious, and upright
American, William Ii. Taft.
We cordially commend our senator's
at Washington for their vigilant and
able care of the interests Of our
nation and state, and heartily indorse
the selection of our senior senator,
Geo. 9. Perkins, for reelection to
congress.
We heartily indorse the record of
our representative IN congress, Hon.
W. A. Englebright, and most earnest
Iy recommend his re-election to con-
gress.
We tnke pride in the administration
of our governor, Hon. }. N. Gillett,
and we approve the course of the
other officers of the present re-
publican state administration, and
our representatives in the legislature.
We heartily indorse the principles
enumerated in the national republican
platform recently adopted at Chicago,
and upon our party's record in the
fulltilment of it's pledges we con-
fidently appeal to the suffrages of
the American people.
w. q. Snyder, Chairman.
Nomination for Superior Judge.
When the chair declared nomina-
tions for superior judge in order:
W. g. Snyder arose and placed in
nomination the present incum bent
and democratic nominee, t. e. Rust.
In doing this he made brief speech,
saying that our superior judge was
the peer of any judge in the state.
While the delegates assembled were
republicans, the claims of citizen
ship were higher than the claims of
party. He believed in lifting the
judiciary out of party politics. and
hence he proposed K. e. Rust as re-
publican nominee for superior Judge.
K. Webb expressed surprise that
such proposition should be made.
He was not only surprised but panied
at such action. lie was there as a
republican, observation-disclosures,
and he could see no authority for a
convention, on any ex-
cuse whatever, in travelling outside of
the party for it's nominees. He had
no personal feeling against Judge
Rust, but could see no good to the
republicans III making him the party
nominee. lie had attended about
every republican county convention
for over thirty years, and during a
portion of that time the party was
much weaker IN numbers than now,
but never before had the proposition
come up to adopt a candidate from
the other side. They might search in
vain for such a departure from party
policy on the democratic side.
Could they point to a. single instance
Of a democratic convention nominat-
ing republican superior Judge in
The out and out surrender fashion
that was proposed by Amador re-
publioans today. He hoped the
gentleman would withdrawn the
nomination.. 1t was loaded, and
loaded with dynamite not to help but
TO weaken the republican party.
j. Williams holding proxy from
Amador, seconded the nomination
iorsJ udge Rust. lie had but recently
come to the county, tut intended to
settle here, and practice law. He had
