Marion de Vries upon his appointment to a | responsible position in the United States Government and favor his con- firmation by the Senate of the United States for the office to which he has been sclected. As a Congressman from this State he was vigilant, in- dustrious and able. As the platform was read each plank was greeted with applause, and the whole latform was cheered. The De Vries reso- ution_caused trouble at once, for C. L. Russell moved to strike it out of the re- port. Then came the ficht as narrated. D. M. Delmas came forward while the delegates were cooling off again and sub- mitted the following resolution, which was adopted by a rising vote: We deeoly deplore the death of the Hon. | Arthur S ancies that | Theodore | Napa_County. took the platform and in a speech that brought cheers of enthusiasm seconded the nomination of Seawell, and Bowden moved to close the nominations. He was interrupted by White, however, who came forward to decline his nomin- ation and to name in his place Willard H. Stimson of Los Angeles. White sald: Whatever I have' done has been done for the benefit of the party. [ thank the gentiemen who have showered encomiums upon me, but I can only say I am not worth them. A suggest that 1 be permitted to withdraw ¢ this contest, and I assure you that no sug- gestion 1 could make as a candidate will be omitted when I am not a candidate.
