SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SACRAMENTO. May 14.-By the an
pointment of machine delegate who
stole his. way into the convention to
asplace on the committee on credentials
where he could formally ratify his own
theft of.sa seat in the convention and
by turning virtually the entire mem
bership of the committees on creden-
tials, permanent organization and res
olutions over to the machine, Knight
i proved the wisdom of the Herrin choice
of chairman with his first act as pre-
siding officer.
:. Knights appointment of r. S. Taylor
! OF Ireka to the committee on creden-
/ tals was even shade rawer than was
! Stones insistence that the machine
delegates against whom contests had
1 been filed should participate in the Sc
lection of the temporary chairman.
ENGINEERED STUFFING JOB
Taylor. member of the state GEN.
i tral committee, is the patriot who en-
gineered the stuffing job at Weeds
station whereby 10 unregistered per-
sons, more than so of whom were not
/ citizens Of the United States were
/ voted in the primaries and the will of
u
4 ROOSEVELT league delegation was set at
/ naught. The case against the Taylor
| and Senator Weeds machine ticket was
absolute. 1t was supported by the affi-
davits of their own election officers. but
i thanks to knights loyalty to the cause
of Herrin, Taylor will be enabled to
wash himself and his delegation whittier
| than snow by resolution.
The makeup of the committees, espe-
cially with reference to the fourth and
fifth congressional districts, would have
taxed the ingenuity of a less consum-
mate programmer than knight. There
were few places where Knight was
/ forced to appoint Lincoln Roosevelt
men, but where he had an opportunity
the place went to the machine and TO
the deepest dyed representatives of it.
DIFFICULT EVEN FOR KNIGHT
In San Francisco the situation pre-
sented difficulties even to Knight. The
machine elected only ID out of ST dele
were Is places to fill in the two dis
tricts. The result was that two Lin
coin Roosevelt men got on from San
Francisco and one from Santa Clara
county. 1t was a masterful job, and
Sammy Beckett, Johnnie Nelson and
their colleagues were all taken care of.
