REPUBLICANS URGED TO
INCREASE REGISTRATION
Letter From Chairman of State
Central Committee Read to
Local Convention

When DR.. Roland E. Hartley, chair
man, called the republican local con-
vention to order in Walton's pavilion
last night a communication from p s.
Teller, chairman of the state central
committee, urging republicans to do
everything in their power to increase
registration, was read.
II. G. w. Dinkelspiel read the plat
Nowlin of the thirty-fourth district
who offered the following plank for
insertion therein:
Recognizing the fact that book
making and pool selling on the re-
suits of horse races as conducted at
the race track and other places in this
state is menace to the business in
tegrity of the men and women of Cali
fornia, therefore be il
Resolved. that we recommend that
our legislative candidates give heed
to the need of such legislation as may
in their judgment be required to cor
rect the evils attendant upon such
book making and pool selling at the
race tracks, at poolrooms, cigar stores
and other places within the state of
California"
Chairman Hartley ruled that this
plank should be referred to the commit
tee on resolutions for action, but Olin
NJ Berry of the thirty ninth district
declared that it should be considered at
once in order that the convention might
take action on it. The chair overruled
his contention, and a viva voce vote
consigning it to committee for burial
was taken. loud and insistent cries for
collcall being disregarded.
DR.. Leo j. Mcmahon of the forty-first
district nominated Carroll Cook, George
ID. Clark Of the thirty-seyenth named
Judge John Hunt, II. G. w. Dinkelspiel
of the forty-first named Judge George
thirty seventh named Justice of the
Peace John ]. Van Nostrand

could make himself heard You may
hiss Judge Dunne's name If you like,

Again the cheers and boos inter-
mingled and the chairman had to rap
| loudly for order.
Truman. what the republican conven-
ton is going to do about Judge Dunno.
Nay. they are saying: Dare they re-
ment of the greatest president this ma
tion has had for many generations In
your platform you have indorsed the
administration of President Roosevelt.
What greater Endorsement could YOU
give it than by nominating the man he
has recommended? Your pla atform has
denounced graft in public office; then
nominate Judge Dunno who stands for
the uprooting of official corruption.
