Committeeman


who have had their ears to the ground
think they are not mistaken by the
seismic disturbance In the world of
Democratic state politics which they
have noted. They think they detect
g militant spirit ON the part Of one
Gavin McNab, boss of the Democracy
of San Francisco, and recently ostra-
cized by the state convention at Fresno.
From their deductions from the seismo-
graph records McNab is to prepare for
a titanic struggle for control of the
party in the state, and this means all
that such control implies.
Not the least of the irregular lines on
the seismograph is the meeting" of
the California delegation at the office
of Hugo A. Hornlein in San Francisco
Saturday. Just who was present of the
twenty delegates elected is not known,
but the announcement that Robert N.
Fitzgerald of Alameda was elected
chairman, M. J. Laymance of Alameda
secretary Thomas j. Walsh and w. B.
Townsend of San Francisco assistant
secretaries and t. j. Belcher of Pasa-
dena as assistant sergeant at arms.
1t was also announced that Nathan
Cole of Los Angeles would be selected
national committeeman when the dele
gates assembled at Denver, or maybe
before. Mr.. Cole is known to have
been present at this meeting, which
seems to have been preliminary" or
advisory" or something of that char
acter.
Those Not Present
Those southern revolutionists who
helped Theodore Bell unhorse McNab
at Fresno are wondering what 1t all
means. Neither l. B. Dockweiler nor
Milton X. Young, delegates from the
Seventh district. were present. In fact
Mr.. Young had no notice OF the meet
ing, nor did he know 1t was held or
what had been done until he received
letter yesterday telling him OF the
Temporary" organization.
Il was not present and had no notice
of the meeting" said Mr.. Young, but
l approve of all that was DONE"
Among other things done at this
meeting was the settling of the man
ner and means O.. going to Denver.
The. delegation will assemble at Oak
land and leave in a special train 90
from the Oakland mole July IN the
afternoon. Gossip hath 1t that the
train will not be provisioned for camels
and Mr.. Young modestly admits that
part of the train will be a carload of
mineral water. There Is also subter-
ranean information that the trip viii
include stop at Salt Lake City and
another at Glenwood Springs by way

But what some southern Democrats
cannot understand is the suddenness
of the thing and the differing of it
