The San Francisco call., 1908-09-02
Harry Worthington Con lefD and F. H. Dam

Harry Worthington (oI
secretary. Thomas. A. Brown of the
of Is on credentials be appointed.
Henry Beatty of the thirty-sixth made
the same motion with reference to
committee on permanent organization
and order of business.
I. j. Truman Jr. of the forty second
district thought that representation on
this committee should be limited to not
more than one man from any assembly
district. Herbert Maggs of the thirty
fourth thought the committee should
consist of Is, with one member from
each district.
PROGRAM Is UPHELD
General Salomon, .resenting the efforts
of these Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers to
change the program, declared that the
chair could be trusted to deal fairly
with everybody. So Maggs amendment
TO the amendment and Truman's amend
ment to the motion were voted down
and the program stood as prepared.
Henry G. w. Dinkelspiel of the forty
first district moved that a committee
of Is on platform and resolutions be
appointed by the chair. Truman re-
newed his objection, asking for COM
mittee of is, one member from each
district.
Each district has its own interests"
he said. "and should have representa-
tion on this committee. We have
fight to make and we had better take
care how we act here"
Again General Solomon sprang into
the breach for the threatened program.
1T is better" he declared with UNI
meaning frankness, ito leave the Sc
lection in the hands of the chair and
such advisers as he may have"
Olin NJ. Berry of the thirty-ninth
spoke for Trumans amendment, but on
a viva voce vote it was declared lost
and the program was again triumphant.
So DR.. Hartley produced from an inner
pocket a nicely written list of the COM
mittees and handed them to the secre-
tary of the convention.
For the sake of appearances recess
was taken while the chair appointed
gates in the thirty seventh and thirty
eighth districts got togeter to nomi-
nate a senator for the twenty first dis
trict.
WOLFE NAMED FOR SENATOR
w. P Filmer was made chairman of
this convention and Alfred H. PAUL.
secretary. II. D. Byrne, Walter Kelly
and Alfred Voyce Jr. were named a
committee on credentials, and. after
they had reported Colonel Walter Kelly
named Eddie Wolfe for senator. Gen
eral Salomon seconded the nomination.
You are the forerunner of the direct
primary" declared Salomon, casting an
affectionate glance toward Wolfe, who
was sitting close by, for the primary
battle ragged about your devoted head"
Wolfe bowed his devoted head in
modest acquiescence and was unani-
mously nominated. In a speech of
thanks he promised to represent the
people, to ally himself with no boss or
and to support the direct
primary. All the delegates gave three
cheers and the senator said he felt very,
very happy.
BANNON CAUSES EXCITEMENT
When the recess was over the chair
announced the membership of the three
committees and called upon the COM
mittees on credentials and permanent
organization to meet at once. This me-
cessitated another recess, during which
several assembly nominations were
made.
When the convention was again
called to order Lefty" Bannon of the
thirtieth district created some excite
ment by rushing down the middle aisle
of the pavilion, storming the platform
and taking UP his position at the left of
the chairman with his head all but on
Dr. Hartley's shoulder. He would have
remained in that position, meditatively
surveying the crowd before him and
adding to his profound studies of hu-
man nature, had not Charley Forbes.
secretary of the county committee
pulled him into seat
At this juncture Tom Roberts. also
of the thirtieth district, excited no
doubt by the honor of the assembly
nomination which had just been con-
ferred upon him by Jack Barr, rushed
down the aisle and tried to place Barr
in nomination for state senator But
DR.. Hartley waved discouraging gavel
in the air and Roberts, effusively CRATE
full to Barr, but decidedly "in wrong"
sank sheepishly into g. seat
LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS
Announcement was then made of the
legislative nominations so far made.
