16 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL FOR UNPLEDGED DELEGATES ONLY Should Represent California Republicans at St. Louis. PLEDGES OF THE PAST. Many Leading Men of the Party Freely Express Their Sentiments. CALIFORNIA ON THE ROLLCALL. Why Send the Individual if His Judg- ment at the Convention Is Not to Be Exercised? ‘Whatever opinions may be entertained by California Republicans regarding the merits of statesmen who are named as candidates for President it is clear enough that fully three-fourths of the members of ihe party hold that the delegates from this State to the National Convention should go unpledged. : William Alvord yesterday expressed his sentiment briefly by saying: “It is my opinion that our delegation to the Na- tional Republican Convention at St. Louis should go there unpledged.” Joseph L. King, broker and granger, was opposed to pledging aelegations. As for himself he doubted whether he would con- sent to go to a convention as a mere mouthpiece. A. 8. Hallidie held that the delegation to the National Convention at St. Louis should not be hampered by pledges. Cali- fornia in the past had been unfortunate in ledging delegates to the support of favor- ite candidates. In the light of experience the State Convention at Sacramento should not send a tied-up delegation to St. Louis. Sidney M. Smith said: ~The delegates to the St. Louis _convention ought not to be instructed. I donot mean to say that the preference of the people of California should not be expressed by the State Con- vention at Sacramento, but the expression of preference shoulc not take the form of instruction. I believe from what I hear and read the majority of Republicans in California prefer the nomination of Mc- Kinley, but it does not follow that the delegates should be pledged to stand for him under all circumstances.” Colonel Albert E. Castle said: “lam in favor of instructing for McKinley. I think McKinley is gomng to win and we will stand a better chance of getting something by votirg for him than by casting our strength for any other candidate.’” Charles G. Clinch said: “The Republi- can delegates from this State to the 8 Louis convention should act as a unit. They should meet there, fully caucus, anite and cast their strength for the win- ning man. In that way something may be done for California and the k’acific Coast.” James B. Stetson had positive views on the subject. He said: {*The delegation should go unpledged. If not, why not tel- egraph the choice of the State Conventicn ? Why send the individual unless he is sup- osed to exercise his judgment to do the gest he can to promote the success of the party?”’ Albert Gerberding had views on the sub- ject. He remarked: *“If the State Con- vention at Sacramento should decide to send to St. Louis a delegation of common- place politicians, bent on _promoting their | own prospects of getting favors under the next Republican administration, then the delegation should go pledged. If, on the other hand, it should be the judgment of the State Convention that California Re- ublicans should be represented in the National Convention by able men of high character, sound judgment and patriotic principles, then the delegation shoula e permitted to go there unpledged and un- trammeled. An unpledged delegation of nbled men might exert a great influence for 0od."” g Hugh Craig, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said: “Iam personally in favor of McKinley, but I am a firm be- liever in sending an unpledged delegation to the St. Louis convention. Our dele- gates, however, should vote as a unit. California is the first Renublican State on the rollcall. True, Alabama and Arkansas are called first, but party success is not expected in either, California is in the republican column, and for that reason our eighteen votes may count for consid- eraple. If the delegates should discover, after surveying the field and fully caucus- ing on the subject, that McKinley could not win, they should not be compelled by their pledges to cast the fortunes of the State with the losing cause. Let the dele- ates be free 10 exercise their judgment. alifornia ought to be recognized by the next National administration. The Secre- tary of the Treasury should be appointed from this Btate. California is the one State of the Union that has steadfastly ad- hered under all circumstances and condi- tions to sound money principles. **The principle is recognized in our State constitution. We have broad-minded and u%nble public men in the State. There is J. B. Stetson, a man of affairs, of excellent judgment and_intellectually alert. There orace Davis, a scholar and statesman, Either one is capable of directing the affairs of the treasury. The convention at Sacramento should send to St. Louis men of character and influence. These men should be left free to form their own judg- ment at the National Convention.” Colonel Willam R. Smedberg said: “I am in favor of unpledged delegates. It is well enough for the State Convention by resolution to ex(fress a preference, but the delegates should not be pledged to stand through thick and thin for any candidate. **This remirids me of a talk I had the other day with D. J. Staples. He said California had an unpledged delegation when Mr. Lincoin waa nominated the first time, and this delegation voted for NEW TO-DAY.

He was a little slow, however, and Ohio wheeled into line, first giving Mr. Lincoln the number of votes required. A delegation to a National Con- vention ought never to be tied up with instructions. Experience should teach Californians of the folly of pledging dele- gates in advance.’’ Fn M. R. Higgins, Insurance Commissioner; Al Johnsor, State Printer, and Samuel K. Thornton, who happened to come in when Colonel Smedberg was relating the history of Mr. Lincoln’s first nomination, ex- pressed their opinion decidedly that Cali- fornia should positively instruct the dele- ates to the St. Louis convention to vote or McKinley. : Dr. Horatin Stebbins remarked that he took sufficient interest in public affairs to have an opinion on this subject. He said: “The habit of instructing delegates to Congress and conventions is a_localism. Men should be sent to the National Con- vention to do the best they can for the country—for the country; and they should be allowed to exercise their own judg- ment.”’ & George W. Beaver said: “I am not in favor of tying up our delegation with in- structions, but I do believe that it is proper for the State Convention at Sacra- mento to indicate a preference for Mc- Kinley; but beyond the expression of this reference the delegates should not be Enmpered in their choice.” 10 LEAD THE KNIGHTS Officers Elected for the Grand Lodge for This Juris- diction. Past Grand Protector Kemp Van Ee Presentedl With a Gold- Headed Cane. The Knights and Ladies of Honor at yesterday’s session of the Grand Lodge elected a full set of officers to manage the order in the jurisdiction of this State. The following are the names ot those upon whom the honor of being chosen grand officers fell: Kemp Van Ee of San Fran- cisco, past grand protector; T. A. Lauder T. A.

IS SHE HYPNOTIZED ? Strange Story Told by Mrs. William Wright at the Receiving Hospital. Mrs. Wright of 747}¢ Seventeenth street accosted Policeman Eastman on Ninth street yesterday afternoon and asked for protection. She told him that she had been in a hypnotic state for a long time and that it was wearing her life away. Her enemies had made up their minds to kill her, and unless the spell was broken she would be completely at their mercy. Eastman took her to police headquarters and he was sent with her to the Receiving Hospital, where she repeated her tale to Dr. Stice. She told the doctor that her husband was also under the spell of the hypnotist, but he was affected in a differ- ent way. Last Sunday they were out at the park and her husband was so much under the influence that he could neither see nor hear. She blamed a prominent physician for hypnotizing her while she was under his treatment over a year ago. Since then he had appeared to her disguised in various ways and had attempted to get her to go driving with him. Sometimes when he met her on the street he would throw kisses at her, which shocked her, Her husband is a carpenter for the Mar- ket-street Railway Company and she said she had not seen him for two days. Dr. Stice declined to detain her, as there was no warrant for her arrest, and she left the hospital. THE SHANE CASE RESTS. The Ownership of the Vallse a Matter of Doubt. Captain Lees was seen late last evening asregards the Shane baby case, and said that nothing more is known than has al- ready been given to the public. The ownership of the valise in which the baby was found is a mystery that so far has taxed the ingenuity of the detectives to the utmost without result. Much of the time given to the case has been used in trying to reconcile the seem- ing discrepancies in the statements of :lfiu lszulu. Mrs. Browning ani Flynn PRIMARY RETURNS ARE CANVASSED, Republican Fourth District Delegates Officially Approved. NO CONTEST RECEIVED. The Regular Congressional Com- mittee Approves the Elec- tion Returns, FIFTH DISTRICT TO FOLLOW. Delegates Chosen by the People to Be Certified to the State Central Committee. The Republican Congressional Commit- tee of the Fourth District met yesterday, and after canvassing the primary election returns submitted by the County Commit- teemen from that Congressional District approved the report on the regular pri- mary election for delegates to the State Convention, and ordered that the election of all the delegates so reported be certitied to the Republican State Central Commit- tee. To-morrow at 11 A. u. the Congressional Committee of the Fifth District will meet in the law office of its secretary, John E. Richards, in the Crocker building, to can- vass the similar returns from that portion of S8an Francisco lying within the Fifth Congressional District gnd from San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. The call for this meeting was sent out yesterday by Mr. Richards. This committee will sim- ilarly certify to the State Central Commit- tee the delegates chosen by direction of tbe County Committeemen, to whom it delegated this power. The Congressional committees of the Fourth and Fifth districts stand some- what apart from the other Congressional committees of the State, in that they have not received the kicks of the masses of the party for taking to themselves the power of appointing delegates to the State Convention. Both of these committees adopted at the start the policy of leaving to the regularly constituted local party authorities the duty of supervising the election of dele- gates. Both committees delegated this power to the CountyCommitteemen of their districts, and in San Francisco the selection of delegates was further referred to the people themselves at a primary election which was made the cleanest and fairest known in the history of the local party and at which a larger pereentage of the best classes of Republicans cast their bal- lots than ever before. At the second meeting of the Republican Congressional Committee held on March 13 the resolutions adopted included the following: Resolved, First, that the interests and success of the Republican party of the State of Califor- nia in the coming State and National campaign require that every effort should be put forth and every means adopted by the regularly or- ganized agencies and committees of the Re- publican party to secure an honest election of delegates to the State and District conventions of the State of California and to the Republican National Convention; second, that to that end itshould be and hereby is ordered thata pri- mary election shall be called and held for the Fourth Congressional District of the State of California. The conduct of this primary was in- trusted to the Republican County Com- mitteemen representing the Fourth Con- gressional Committee, the Congressional Committee to act as a returning board thereon. In pursuance of this instruction the pri- mary election was held in the Fourth Dis- trict on April 15, the same day on which the primary was held in that portion of the City belonging to the Fifth District, and at that election a full and fair vote was cast for delegates named solely by the people of the various districts in accord- ance with the policy of home rule insisted upon by John D. Spreckels and heartily supported by the members of the County Committee and other party leaders. The result of this primary election was certified to the Fourth Congressional committee on last Monday, the 20th inst., and it was the report then filed which the committee of the Fourth District met to consider yesterday. The meeting yesterday afternoon was held at 327 Market street. There were present six of the seven members of the committee, as follows: C. C. Bemis, chair- man; J. Pockwitz, secretary; N. Oblandt, C. B. Rode, R. Rassmussen and Henry Leffman. The report of the County Committeemen was signed by all members from the Fourth District, viz.: J. M. Chretien, chairman ; P. ). Walsh, secretary; A. A. Louderback, G. Bacigalupi, J. N. Browning, Charles H. Clear, R. W. Heilman, C. A. Berliner, Thomas W. Chandler, A. Houston and James Gately. It sets forth the instruc- tions issued to the County Committeemen, the holding of the primary election in ac- cordance therewith and the election of the delegates named, with the number of votes received by each. After considering the returns the com- mittee approved them in a long resolution, which recited the instructions issued to the County Committee and the issuance of the primary election call by the County Committee men, and then proceeded: AND, WHEREAS, The time and places of hold- ing said primery were duly advertised in the following newspapers of general circulation, to wit: The San Francisco CALL, the Chronicle, the Examiner, the Evening Bulletin and the Daily Report; and, whereas, pursuant to our said resolutions and the said call of the County Committeemen, a Republican primary election was held ineach and all of the As- sembly districts in the City and County of San Francisco embraced within said Fourth Congressional District on the 15th day of April, 1896; and, whereas, the said County Committeemen have duly and regularly re- ported and certified to us in writing the result of said primary election held as aforesaid; and, whereas, this committee at & meeting duly and regularly held this 22d day of April, 1896, has examined and canvassed the re- turns of said primary election, reported and certified to us as aforesaid; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That said Republican primary elec- tion was regularly called and held in each and all of the Assembly districts embraced within said Fourth Congressional District, pursuant to and in strict accordance with this commit- tee’s said resolution, hereinabove set forth. Resolved, That at said Republican primary, | socalled and beld in the several Assembly districts within said Fourth Congressional District, the following-named persons were auly and regularly elected delegates to Tepre- sent said Ascembly distriets and the Repub- lcan party‘in the Republican district and State conventions, to be held at Sacra- mento on the 5th day of May, 1896, bursuant to the cali of the Republican State Central Committee, issued on February 29, 1896, and the resolution and call of this com- mittee issued on the 13th day of March, 1896: * » = Resolved, That the chairman and secretary of this committee notify the Republican State Central Committee of tne election of ‘the aforesaid persons as the regular Republican delegates from said Assembly districts to the said district and State conventions, and that they and each of them are entitled to seats therein as duly and regularly elected members thereof. _The contest started by the defeated fac- tion in the Thirty-third District had been expected to receive aitention from the Congressional Committee, but the protest did not reach thatbody at all. In this As- sembly District the opposition ticket re- ceived less than one-seventh of the votes cast, but & protest was gotten up based on allegations of fraud in the conduct of the election, 7 This protest was filed with Chairman Chretien of the County Committeemen of the Fourth District day before yesterday. but after the returns of the election ha been filed with the Congressional Com- mittee. _No contest was filed with the Congres- sional Committee where it was provided that all contests must be disposed of and by the resolutions adopted by the Con- gressional Committee on March 13, and published thereafter, it was provided that all contests arising out of the election must be filed with t%mt committee within fifteen days before the meeting of the btg\le Convention on May 5. The dissatistied contestants of the Thirty-third were talking yesterday about taking their contest to the convention. The Congressional Committee of the Fifth District will have before it when it meets the similar contest filed by some members of the defeated opposition fac- tionin that district. This contest, how- ever, lost yesterday some of the force it possessed by the "declaration of two of the delegates on the deféated ticket that they would not support the contest. Ex- Supervisor 8. 8. Morton stated that he was put on the opposition ticket without his knowledge or consent, and had no part toplay in the contest. E. L. Cook said that he believed that his ticket was defeated honestly and fairly, and that he would not join in thecontest. With the exception of these two small contests, which represent small minorities in these districts, the Republican delega- tion, which is united, harmonious and backed by ninety-nine-hundredths of the local party, has in its way but the farcical and fraudulent Kelly-Mahoney fake dele- gation from the Fourth District. At this stormy time of a stormy political year, when the party in other Congres- sional districts is torn for the time by con- flicts between the people and the politi- cians, the condition of the party in San Francisco, where the people themselves have found a chance to rule, thanks to John D. Spreckels, is one of exceptional and encouraging harmony and strength. REDWOOD 7O GO EAST, Ex-Mayor Kinsey Talks of the Stimulus to the Shingle Trade. Rise of the Wool and Dairying In- terests—Half a Million Dollars for a Railrcad. Among the recent arrivals here from Humboldt County is ex-Mayor L. T. Kin- sey of Eureka, who is assistant cashier of the Bank of Eureka. Mr. Kinsey has been aresident of the solid Northern California since 1857, or about his entire life. He has been County Treasurer, and then was elected County Clerk and finally Mayor. The ex-Mayor says there is a good deal of interest in the forthcoming National campaign. The majority of the people by far want a Republican elected President, for they want protection for wool and lumber alike. They want other things protected also, and believe in it as an es- sential quality of permanent success. ‘“‘For this reason there are a good many McKinley men up there,” he said, “but Mr. Allison has a great many friends, and would geta heavy vote. The fact is, any Republican nominated would easily carry that part of Northern Califorpia. “I heard a Democrat who is extensively interested in the wool business say the other day that he had voted the Dem- ocratic ticket for the last time. He was going to vote for a Republican this time, he said. That man owns 40,000 acres of land. There are many Democrats who feel as he does in Humboldt. “You krow, of course, thay Eureka has succeeded in getting terminal rates, through Portland. That will undoubtedly help the lumber business and greatly stimulate tne shingle trade with us. ““I have traveled a good deal South and East, and dealers tell me that ourredwood shingles are by all odds better than the cedar shingles of Puget Sound. A lum- ber dealer in Kansas City who owns twen- ty-seven yards was recently emphasizing this to me, but we had previously been un- able to sell for the reason that we did not have terminal rates. Nowit is different. We can furnish a better shingle than any other part of the world and can sell as cheap as the best cedar shingle can be sold. “‘Our wool interests are very large, and the same is true of our dairy interests. Nearly all the land which was used for potatoes and grain three or four years ago is now down in clover and other grass and devoted to dairying. A great many cream- eries have been started. “Weneed a railroad, however. I think a company could get a handsome cash bonus of $500,000 or $600,000 that would give us good connections. Even the Boise road, the California, Oregon and Idaho, in which the people never had a great deal of confidence, succeeded in getting $480,000 subscribed. A good company could come to Eureka and easily get $500,000.” Mr. Kinsey is at the Grand. He has been recuperating after considerable hard work and will leave for home in a day or two. ‘ e — The Power of Sympathy. A charmin- little story is told about a burglar who was sentenced to a long term of imprisonment at Clerkenwell Sessions yesterday. Early one morning, many years ago, he was running at the top of his speedt along a West End thoroughfare, ursued by a lady who vociferated ‘‘Stop, Ehiefl" A milkman intercepted the fugi- tive, who promptly exclaimed, with ad- mirable astuteness, *‘For -heaven’s sake let me go. It’s my wife, and she’ll just about kill me.” The milkman was a mar- ried man himself, and; ‘“hand ignarus mail,” he allowed the malefactor to es- cape.—London Globe. R S — Got Even With His Landlord. Many years ago Barney Barnato rented a little house in one of the frontier towns of South Africa. After a time, however, he quarreled with his landlord and was ordered to leave it. Then he got even with the landlord by inserting the follow- ing advertisement in the local p-ger: “‘Wanted, by a gentieman who agreed to leave dwellin, tion in wmci black beetles.” .o Ladies’ Bouthern ties, $1 45, shades, every toe.
