With five different conventions in
progress in one hall, the Democrats of
Los Angeles county completed their
delegation to the state convention at
Fresno. The county portions of the
assembly districts named tWenty-one
additional delegates, and as all except
one or two men are absolutely free
from control of the Southern Pacific
or any other domination the delegation
from Los Angeles county as a whole
will be against the Gavin McNab ma
chine. This ) the promise of yester-
d. rs work.
After Chairman Schwamm called the
delegates to order the districts segre-
gated in groups in different parts of
Elks hall, where they met and trans
acted their business by themselves.
There were q few members of the
L remocratic league present, prominent
among them being w. r. Burke,
Joseph Simons, o. e. Parish and H. M.
Mcdonald. There were also few of
the regulars. conspicuous ones being
Capt. George M. Cake, doc" Hough-
ton and others.
Chairman { .hwamm urged the dele
gates to not be "bamboozled" by the
"city men" and they didn't. When
they found persons not entitled to seats
with the delegations they made them
leave This was true of all elements,
and the country districts met by them
selves, although DOC" Houghton per-
sisted for a long time in holding seat
with the Seventy fourth, claiming to
be a Spring Meadows delegate "by
proxy"
Before Chairman Schwamm got or
der A. D. Warner tried to organize the
Chairman Schwamm
protested Ind "Silver Dick" told him to
mind his own business and the Seven
ty-fourth would mind it's business AS
rapidl.- as Dan Newhardt and st. Clair
Creighton and others sought to dis
suade "Silver Dick" they were 'called
down" inorder. Warner got the dele
gates together and they remained until
the regular order was begun.
Schwamm Mentions Cole
Mr.. Schwamm, in his opening, took
occasion to say a good word for Ma
than Cole, candidate for delegate at
large. He declared California would
send an instr acted delegation for Bry-
an and that Cole was the man to put
on it, This was the only mention of
Coles name.
The conventions then got to work.
Each organized and was careful that
only those having delegate certificates
and genuine proxies, held by resident
voters of the districts, participated. In

WASHINGTON May 9-Sectional
lines were sharply drawn in the house
today, andw for a time charges and
counter charges Of dishonesty in cleo
tions by both political parties were
heard.
The two floor leaders, Messrs. Payne
of New York and Williams of Missis-
sippi were the principals.
floor leader for having the hardihood
to say he was in favor Of honest elec-
tions.
"Since when was the Democratic
party for honest elections? he IN
quired in stentorian tones. "Was 1t
when 1t was depriving certain class
of citizens of suffrage by every means,
by perjury, fraud, intimidation MUIR
der, riot and everything else under the
SUM-"
He wanted to know il the Demo-
crata .avored honesty in elections In
the state of New York, when time
after time they carried the election, not
by the honest ballot, but by fraudu-
lent votes deposited in the ballot boxes
and fraudulent counts"
The Democrats, said Mr.. Payne, were
in favor of honest elections only Wnen
they got a majority that way. rs 1t
necessary for the Democratic party In
Maryland to disfranchise the black
MANI" he asked.
He declared the Republican party
had an honest majority In Maryland,
and in order to overcome 1t the Demo-
Gratis were bending every effort to de-
prive every citizen of the right OF
franchise land thereby make a Demo-
cratic state of Maryland"
Williams Hot Reply
Mr.. williams replied that he had
listened to the lecture upon honesty
in elections from the leader of the Re-
publican party, 1.-The fresh of fresh
new. crisp two-dollar bills; the party
of blocks of five; the party of the city
of Philadelphia; the party of returning
boards back In 1875; the party that
carried the election in 1896 by whole
sale bribery. the party, that. even as
late as 1904 denied that it had been re-
ceiving money from fiduciary corpora
tions for political purposes. and whose
officials were convicted of falsehood In
the denial; the party of Herod."
"If there was anything that was a
stencil in the nostrils of all humanity, -
he said, at was the city of Philadel-
phia. 1t has such bad smell, he
declared, "that even the Republicans
themselves could not stand it all the
time"
Mr.. William admitted there was a
time when there was intimidation and
fraud in his section Of the country but
there was some extenuation for It,,
when great race was engaged in saw
ing its civilization"
There never was, however," he ex-
claimed, "any excuse or extenuation for
tie Republican party in it's program of
wholesale bribery in 1896, 1900 and 1904,
when that party took the money be-
longing to widows and orphans and
never had the manhood nor the justice
to return it,"
At one time. he said, President Roose-
welt had the manhood to say that the
Republican campaign committee ought
to return the money that had been
filched from the widows and orphans,
and beneficiaries and policy holders Of
the New York Life and the Mutual In
surance companies"
