You have heard a great deal of discussion to-day about the north and south. We have the honor to have within the city of Fresno a monument that marks the geographical center of the State of Cali- fornia, and I now come to invite you gentlemen to come to the center. (Laugh- ter and applause.) Gentlemen of this convention, we Republicans of the San Joaquin Valley are a very modest people, present company excepted, and, gentle- men, we have not asked much in the past history of the party at the hands of the Republican party, but we have With us a gentleman who has aided us in the long fight that we have fought in that part of the State, that has at last re- deemed that part of the State from Dem- ocratic rule and placed it in line with the Republican party of the State.

He is honored and esteem- ed in that capacity, and in that portion of the State. As president of the State Teachers’ Association of this State, he is known and honored among the educa- tional profession. We understand that this matter of the public schools is close to the homes and the hearths of the peo- ple of this State. We would present no man for that honorable office who was not entitled to it, and who would not advance its cause. The peculiar boast of the Republican party is in the public schools, and therefore we name a leader in the educational interests of this State for this office—the Hon. Thomas Kirk. (Applapse and cheers.) Ira G. Holtt of San Mateo—Mr. Chalr- man and gentlemen of the convention: I rise to second the nomination of Thomas J. Kirk of Fresno for the office of Super- intendent of Public Instruction. On behalf of ex-State Superintendent Crandall, on behalf of ex-State Superintendent Ander- son, and having occupied the office my- 1 feel that I know the du- of the office, and being personally ac- inted with the candidate, with his i his energy and his executive force, I can heartily indorse and second his nomination. Mr. Kirk has not the good fortune to be a native-born Califor- nian, but I am sure that i{f he is ever born again and has anything to say about it himself, he will be born in Cali- fornia. (Laughter.) He has been in Cali- fornia for nearly a quarter of a century, and during that time he has been en- gaged in training up that type of citizen called American—the strongest, the mno- blest and the best. Such a type of citi- zen will stand by that flag and make it broad enough and {ts power strong enough to protect every American citizen in whatever part of the globe the flag Is allowed to float. I thank you, gentlemen. (Applause.) It was moved and seconded that the nominations close, and that the chairman of this convention cast the ballot for Thomas J. Kirk fog the office of Superin- tendent of Public’ Instruction. Carried unanimously. The chair—For Superintendent of Pub- 1ic Instruction, Thomas J. Kirk, 788 votes. 1 therefore declare him to be the nominee of this convention for Superintendent of Public Instruction. The next business in order is Superintendent of State Print- ing. Nominations are now in order. s il JUDGE SWINNERTON ROASTS HIS TOWNEY Then Speaks Highly of A. J. Johu- ston, Present State Printer, and Nominates Him. Judge Swinnerton of San Joaquin Coun- ty—Gentlemen of the convention: We are near the end of a Democratic administra- tion and let us praise the Giver of all good that it is the latter end. (Applause.) We have had four years of benevolent despot- ism, the Governor has taken the people by the throat and sald: “Now, you rascals, economize or I will be the death of you.” He has economized the people of this State out of about a million and a quarter of dollars extra taxes. He has economized every one of the sixty-one State offices and the heads of departments and com- maissioners out of the means to give to the People an account of thelr stewardship. He has economized the chifdren of this State into the payment of 100 per cent ad- vance on school books and he has econo- mized the State school registers from seventeen cents furnished by the State Printer, to seventy-five cents produced in the open market. Now, among these jtems of economy there are two things that stood out prominently. One was $375,000 for the support of the State Print- ing Office and the other was that never once, so far as I have been able to learn, did the chief magistrate of this Btate ever Yeto a bill that provided for the appoint- Thent of a commission with a salary and the Governor made the appointment of the commission.

Every one left here loud in their praises of the courteous treatment they received at the hands of the Sacramentans. Nothing s left undone to make the stay of the visitors a pleasant one. Henry T. Gage, the gubernatorial nom- inee, left on the evening train for San Francisco. A large crowd gathered at the depot to see him off. When he made his_appearance he was roundly cheered, and three cheers were then given for the entire ticket. When the train pulled out the crowd dispersed, and an hour later Sacramento settled down to every day gentleman is a native of this State. For a quarter of a century he has pursued a craft that makes him a competent man for this position. W. W. Shannon of San Francisco has been the representa- tive of his craft to the national body in the United States time after time. He has proven himself a_worthy representa- tive of that craft. I think Yyou will get the support of the crafts- men whether you nominate - him or not, but if you desire the earnest sup- port and the enthusiastic support of | every printer within the confines of the | State of California you will nominate W. W. Shannon of San Francisco. That office, if he receives the nomination of this body and I think he will, will be as economically conducted and as well con- ducted as it is at present. Gentlemen, I desire to place in nomination for the of- fice of State Printer of California W. W. Shannon of San Francisco. Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento—Mr. Chairman: In behalf of the delegation of Sacramento, in behalf of the Repub- Plican party of Sacramento County, in be- half of every school in the State of Cali- fornia, in_behalf of every child in the State of California that hopes to attend the common schools, in behalf of the par- ents of California, who are interested in the common schools, I ask you to vote for, and I second the nomination of a man_who, more than any other man in the State of California, represents to-day the common schools, and the public school books, and the State printing of school books in California, A. J. John- ston of Sacramento. (Applause and cheers.) In nominating Mr. Johnston, you give force and point to the platform which condemns Governor Budd. In nominat- ing Mr. Johnston, you show that you meant what you said. In nominating him you snap your condemnation upon the wicked act of this rotten Budd of California (laughter and applause) that sought to pluck the flower of a bastard economy for himself and his party by crippling the public schools of California. (Applause and cheers.) The common schools of California are the bulwark of our liberties, the hope of our prosperity. You, who like myself, ob- tained your education in the common schools, know their worth, know their value. Palsled be the hand, whether it is that of a Prince, & politician or a Gover- nor, that strikes a blow at the common schools. You cannot manifest your love for the common schools, you cannot man- ifest your belief in their dignity and their greatness, any better than by voting for Al Johnston, the honest man, the faith- ful servant, the friend of every working- man in the State, for State printer. (Ap- plause and cheers.)’ It was _moved and seconded that the nominations close. Carried. During_the roll call it wa3 moved, on behalf of W. W. Shannon, and seconded, that the nomination of A. J.
