1THE FUSION POPULISTS WIN STRENGTH OF THE FACTIONS SHOWN IN A TEST VOTE Hutchinson Elected Temporary Chairman Over Webster by a Majority of 62 Votes. SACRAMENTO, July 12—By a vote of 171% to 1o9% the Buckley- Maguires won the first skirmish in the State Convention of the People’s party this morning by electing E. L. Hutchinson of Los Angeles chairman of the convention No extraordinary demonstration marked the announcement of the con- test. There was no walk-out of defeated middle-of-the-roadsters; no wild outburst of applause on the part of the fusionists. The majority gave three cheers w defeated cand and the work The middle-of-the-roadsters do not accept this morning’s vote as signi- ficant of their final defeat. They say that geography, expediency and other conditions helped to elect Hutchinson, and that the delegates who voted for him are divided as to the future policy to pursue. While the ma- jority of them are credited v favoring the indorsement of Maguire, there are others who oppose this plan as strongly as do the middle-oi-the- roadsters and w ist that the nomination for Gu\ernur be leit open, to be filled later by the ntral Committee. This faction holds that the indorsement of Maguire now would make him practically the only candidate before the Democratic convention, and while they favor fusion, they believe that exigencies may arise making it advisable for the combined parties to nominate some one other than Ma- guire. The middle-of-the-roadsters figure it out tt not yield an inch from their stand, and that t surrender completely to Maguire, will come ticket.

Others counseled patience and urged that it would be unwise to surrender so completely to their opponents.

The anti-fusionists are saying some bitter things. They charge that the Populist party has been by some of the leaders put up at auction and sold for a few promised political plums. The anti-fusionists declare that the political plums to be distributed by Maguire convention should show its apprecia- tion of his efforts by placing the gavel of the chalrman in his hands. T. E. Clark of Tulare County, who is one of the leaders of the anti-fu- | sion forces, seconded the nomination of Webster in a ringing speech. Although not directly saying so, he strongly in- | imated that the chairmanship fight | would pretty clearly indicate the pulse of the convention on the question of fusion. “We have a Populist party,” said he, “and let us stand by it.

While our soldiers and sallors are fighting in distant lands for our flag and the cause of justice we at home are battling with the money powers.

I trust that the men who came here to represent the great re- form party will do their duty well. I trust that there will not be any hot- headed debates and that the delegates will act calmly and reason together as men and brothers. There should not be any shirking or attempt at escaping from the hard duty before us. I be- lieve and I know that the spirit of fair- ness will prevail.

The nomination of Hutchinson was seconded by Milton Carlson of Los Ang- geles, who paid a glowing tribute to him. ‘“We have reached a period,” said Thomas V. Cator, “when we require a chairman of ripe judgment, and in J. we have a man who will wisely look after our interests. The matter of fusion is now uppermost in the minds of all our delegates.

He id that he was surprised at the wonderful change of heart shown by Cator. “Two years . go, when he wanted to g0 to the United States Senate,” said Gillespie, “he advocated fusion.

Then Patterson of Kings County indulged in a little ora- tory on behalf of Webster. “The people of the State are sad and moaning,” said he, *“and fervently praying for relief.

Moynahan mad2 an appeal to the delegates to support Hutchinson for chairman. The roll was called and Hutchinson was elected on the first ballot by a vote of 171% to 109%. The announce- ment of the rasult was applauded by the fusionists, who believe that a test of the strength of the fusion and anti- fusion forces was made in the contest. The vote of the counties represented at the convention was as follows: Counties— Hutchinson. Webster. Alameda 8 1 Amador Butte Colusa Contra Costo .. El Dorado . Fresno ..

E. Bowles; as sistant sergeant-at-arms, Willlam Daly: clerks, A. Dittmar and Dr. W. H. Henderson; pages, Edgar Camp, Norman Moynahan and Julius Jacobs. J. W. Hines moved that a committee of nine on credentials be appointed. The motion prevailed and Chairman Hutchinson ndmed the following com- mittee: J. Hines, sama Clara; J. D. Xhmmnnd, San Diego; F. Houghton, Tehama; H. Huppert, <'\n Francisco; L. A. Miller, San Luis Obispo; George W. Monteith, Marin; G. W. Cart- wright, Fresno; Hiram Hamilton, Orange, and M. E. Dittmar, Shasta. As the convention was about to take a rec to allow the credential com- mittee time to perform its work, J. V. Webster claimed the floor. “I think I owe an apology to this convention and to our former chair- | man. committee of one to escort Mr. Hutch- {inson to the chair, I did not catch what he said. I thought he was nam- ing me on another committeeand I said that I had sufficient honors already be- stowed on me. Had I understood his request, I would have willingly served.” inclined to believe that he had been treated discourteously. “I feel relieved,” said he, ‘“when Brother Webster explains that he did not understand what I said.” “There is no need for any apologies,” :rrupted Chairman Hutchinson, “for a mere mistake.” The convention then adjourned to | of the committee on credentials. It was close to 5 o’clock when the committee returned to the assembly chamber. There was a contest over the seats of one of the Sacramento del- egates and the committee had a hard time settling it to the satisfaction of the interested partles. Delegate Cator introduced a resolu- tion to the effect that proxies be not voted. He favored a plan of having the votes of all absentees divided in a ratio of the majority from the county affected, reserving the right to cast the largest part of the absentee vote. A lengthy debate followed. Some of the delegates who held proxies insisted on being granted the right to vote them, without having to submit to the dictates of the majority of their county delegation present. It was finally de- cided to refer the resolution to the committee on platform and resolutions. The convention then divided into Congressional districts to select from their number delegates to serve on the committee on permanent organization and order of business and the commit- tee on platform and resolutions. The following selections were made: On organization and order of business— First district, William Ayers, Eureka Second, J. E. Camp, Sacramento; Third John Aubrey Jones, Alameda; Fourth, George D. Gillespie, San Francisco; Fifth, Dr. John A. Miller, San Francisco; 8ixth, | J. K. Burnett, San Luis Obispo; Seventh, J. F. Peck, Merced. On platform and resolutions—First dis- | trict, J.

A resolution empowering the State committee to pass on matters of party interest when signed by fifteen mem- bers was referred to the committee on resolutions.

The leaders have held the 109 votes cast for Web- ster as firm as a rock, and claimed they have gained some accessions from their opponents. This may or may not be true, but it is a fact that some of the Southern delegates are beginning to ask what the Democrats propose to give them in the way of patronage in addition to the minor places on the ticket that will be doled out to them. | These questioners are far sighted and | reagon something like this: With the | war with Spain in progre the con- | servative people will naturaly support the administration in eve: way pos- I sible even to State and local offices.

This would leave the Democrats with | the Governor and his patronage, and the Populists the barren honor of hav- ing put up some candidates for other offices who were defeated.
