Dewitt Follows Baker


The election of r. II. Dewitt to the
Craftsmanship of the committee was oc-
casioned by the resignation of Judge
John E. Raker of Modoc, who is in the
field for congress from the first dis
trict. The selection of Dewitt was
ued campaigners in the hosts of Cali
fornia's democracy. He impressed him
self on the democracy of the state in
the campaign of 1908. He came to San
Francisco and assumed active direction
of both publicity and organization for
the state central committee. He was a
tireless and Intelligent worker, and his
selection to succeed Raker was fitting
recognition of his services to the com
mittee which chose him to lead it this
year. Regret over Raker's resignation
was expressed by several speakers, and
a committee, consisting of Theodore A.
Bell, T. E. Gibbons of Los Angeles and
A. L. Cowell of Stockton, was appointed
to draft suitable resolutions, which will
be spread upon the records of the com
mittee.
That the state convention would go
to Stockton was virtually decided by
the state conference at Los Angeles
The necessary preliminaries yesterday
involved only the ratification of that
choice, the formulation of a call and
the apportionment of delegates. The
apportionment was made on the basis
of one delegate for each 200 votes or
major fraction therof cast for flames
D. Phelan for presidential elector in
1908. That apportionment results in a
convention of 651 members. San Fran
cisco's representation in the convention
will be loo and Los Angeles will have
10.
Bitter Against Cole
1t was persistently rumored that the
state central committee would be asked
to take some action looking to forcing
the retirement of Nathan Cole Jr. from
the national committee. The fight ma de
by Gibbon and some of his Los Ange
les followers on Cole has become espe-
cially bitter during the last few
months
