ed, the pruning knife had been freely
used. .,z.s
The call for the nominations of can
didates for supervisors caught the
delegates mixed up in gesticulating
knots all over the hall and engaged in
playing all the arts covered by the
words, pleading, cajoling and slerat-
ening.
Lost And resigned.
The candidates whose only hope Of
success had depended on the secret
ballot wore airs of meek and pathet-
lie resignation and were hoping
against hope that something might
happen at the last minute that would
toss them into the arena on an uncon-
trollable wave of popular demand. But
there was no William Jennings Bryan
there, to pull the bolt stuff and the
plans of the opposition were too well
laid. e. H. Paris of E. @. Halt &
Sons was named candidate at the last
moment and to show how perfectly
the machine worked, slid in with 20S
votes simply because he had the srisat
kind of endorsement. David Motley

When Single arrived. Walter Dill.
bingham pleaded with him to permit
his name to go before the convention
while Ereckons and others of Ills
friends insisted that If he did at such
a late hour and after Sam Parker had
announced his candidacy, it would
mean his political death. Sbingle
stood firm In his refusal to become
a candidate, and when the nominal
ton for Mayor came up, Col. Parker
went through over Eben Low, the
only other candidate, by so large a
margin that Low moved to make the
selection of Parker unanimous.
For the nomination for treasurer
the candidates were George Smithies
and Theodore F. Lansing. Smithies
secured the coveted place on vote
of 253 to So.
In the senatorial race, George f.
Renton and S. A. Kaleiopu were
named from the Fifth district, each
securing 281 votes. DoWsett won

The Noes seemed to have it by a

adopted to the tune of 191 to 135.
Lorrin Andrews was beaten in an

Just before the nominations for

to induce Robert Single to change
his mind again and come out as can

tinuing the argument fer the defense.
Having every confidence that John

fetal, was innocent. it was the duty
of these defendants to help them.
The very enormity of the crimes at
Los Angeles the very holiness and ex-
tent to which explosions had been car
red on for years made it unthinkabie
that the secretary of the Iron Work
ers' International union committed
them or caused them to be committed.
Had the defendants raised a defense
fund after the McNamaras pleaded
guilty, then they would have been sub
ject to criticism. but not otherwise.
