REVOLT AGAINST McNAB

Men Are Confident

Despite the increasing activity of
the anti-McNab element in. the local
democratic party the regular organi-
ana profess to have no fears as TO
their ability to sweep the city in the
approaching primary.
Ihe regulars regard the outcome OF
the primary contest as a foregone con-
clusfon and their conversation only
loses its air of languid interest when
the discussion of candidates for the
convention is introduced.
1t seems to be a settled thing, that
San Francisco will have no delegate
at large in the Denver convention.
The north of the state is to be repre-
sented by Theodore Bell of Napa and
Robert NJ Fitzgerald of Oakland; while
the two remaining delegates at large
will go to Los Angeles There was

but 1t Is now practically decided that
Isadore .Dockweiler and Nathan Cole
Jr. will be the choice of the con-
first as not being a good organization
man, but that difficulty has been
solved In his favor.
Charles Edelman, who is great ad-
mirer of Bryan, is anxious to go to
Denver as a delegate from the fourth
district, while Bert Schlesinger would
like to represent the San Francisco

are Attorney Edward Holland Of
