While the Southern Pacific Company is doing what it pleas in this convention there is considerable evidence that it is not inclined to interfere definitely in the quarrel whic has occurred in San Fran- ciscc. The railroad company has the conve so thoroughly in hand that it can do as it pleases and it appears to be willing to permit Repubit- cans of San Francisco to have at least an equal chance agal machine In- fluences which are attempting to ruin the party in the metropolis. There will be before the convention twe important contests—one Twenty-ninth Assembly District and the other from the Thirty-t} A District, both of San Francisco. The Kelly-Herrin-Crimmins contingent are b with the purpose of demanding recognition for their disreputable methods in San Francisco. The dominating influences of this conventlon are not prepared to turn the Kelly-Crimmins-Herrin outfit thoroughly diseredited they will therefore determine upon a compromise in their contests. It 11d be remem- bered that the committee on credentials is not yvet appointed. That. however. is not a matter of concern. While the committee has n announced it has actually been chosen and to-night its that each of the contesting delegations from the Tw Assembly districts shall receive an equal representation, vote for the delegation.

J. W. McKinley of Los Angeles will be e com: ®- | ment of the convention. A strong advocacy will also be made for the construction of an Isthmian canal, the convention making an express preference for the Nicaraguan route. A specific recommendation will also be made that the canal be absolutely under the direction of the United States. This clause In the platform will be of exceptional importance to the people of the Pacific Coast. California’s representatives in Congress will be directed to use their utmost endeavors to prevent the impending and constantly increasing Influx of the Asiatics to this coast, and in this recommendation the convention will make no discrimination between the Chinese and Japanese. The convention will urge that California’s representatives in Congress do their utmost through legislation to prevent the fmportation of these Asfatic laborers. A tribute will be paid in the document to the soldiers’and the sailors who have fought in the Spanish, Phillppinee and Chinese wars. 3 The,platform will unequivocally indorse the conduct of the Republican Representatives and Senators I Congress in their efforts to support California’s interests. On other points than these the platform will be silent. It will possess the merit of brevity. i L e S R R IR L L WG representatives, in the Fourth and Fifth districts. in the persons of C. B.
