Only the forbearance of the op- & delegates prevented physical en- nters. The Kelly-Crimmins delegations showed many new faces, men with proxies takin the place of some of the “lame ducks. Among these W. S. Barnes was conspic- Gous, he having a proxy in the Twenty- | eighth District. Martin Kelly came in just as the con- | vention was called to order and marched to the front where the Twenty-eighth Dis- trict, “‘elected unanimously by the D le,” s He was received with cheers gy his henchmen, Regardless of the intention to keep the floor_cleared of all but delegates, outsid- ers flocked in and crowded the aisles at the sides of the sections of seats. The plac ® Chairman Bergerot called Temporary > i 30 o’clock and the convention to order at appointed Michael Driscoll, John S. Wil- kins, Joseph Toot, Maury Bushway and J. Waller Jr. as sergeants-at-arr “Gentlemen of the conventio sald Chairman Bergerot, “I have every reason to belleve that we meet here in better | spirft than that which characterized our first session. 1 am here to perform my | duty and will do it with a promptness | that will surprise those who come here | expecting to see any behavior hut the | most decorous. I shall wield the gavel | h perfect fairness, in absolute com- pliance with parliamentary usage. I do | not anti e any disturbance, and I sin- cerely hope none of you will forget your- | selyes.” Chairman Bergerot asked all on the | floor who were not delegates to retire to | the rear of the hall or to the gallery, and | instructed the chairman of delegations to report any among their delegations who were not delegates. —— REPORT OF CREDENTIALS. Both Majority and Minority Strive for Recognition, but Kelly Wins. The chairman called for the report of the committee on credentials, and re- fused to entertain a resolution which George L. Center desired to present. Chairman Green of the committee on cre- dentials read the report agreed upon the night before, seating the Kelly-Crimmins delegates in the Twenty-ninth and Forty- second districts, glving the contesting Kelly-Crimmins delegates half a vote in | the Thirty-third and Forty-third districts, and leaving the delegates as per tempo- rary rollcall in the Fortieth and Forty- fourth districts. Chairman Green con- cluded by moving that in districts where there were no contests the delegates be declared seated. Abe Ruef made the rolnt of order that the moilon was out of order, and R. F. —_— | Hathorn got the floor to read a minority report, as follow To the Temporary Chairman and to the Re- publican Local, J and Legislative Con- ventio 3 The undersigned, a mi- nority of your committee on credentials, re- report that es Whose ng tem- tricts that in the Thirty-first Assembly District we find that the named dele- gutes should of right be on said roll: T.

Ham- Rogers. ty of your committee respect- fully recommends that said delegates as herein ramed be placed on the roil and be declared the members thereof. This minority also protests against the use of proxies in the convention as recommended by the majority of this committee, The use of said convertion proxies in municipal conventions s unusual and has to our knowledge never heretofore been countenanced In local conventions of the Re- publican party in San Francisco, and our con- stituents in electing us certalnly contemplated our personal attendance, and our duty to the Republican party demands that we should per- sonally fulfill our trust. We ‘therefore recommend that no proxies be allowed in this convention. RALPH L. HATHORN, E. C. AMEDEE. Hathorn moved that the minority report be substituted for the majority report. Ruef moved that the whole matter be referred back to the committee with in- structions to report the temporary roll- call as the true rollcall. Bergerot ruled the motion out of order, and Ruef ap- pealed and demanded a rollcall. Bergerot asked Secretary Mahoney to call the roll. Dr. Morris, the other secre- tary, tried to call the roll, but Bergerot declared that no one but Mahoney, the ‘“secretary by profession,” should call it. George Boyne demanded falr gl-y and “Leng John” Wilkins suppressed him. Thomas K. Kase demanded to know what roll was to be called. Bergerot said the temporary .roll would be followed. The votes of the Twenty-eighth District were cast proudly by Martin Kelly in fa- vor of Bergerot's decision. ‘‘Phonograph” Gullfoyle bobbed up and objected to the calling of the roll of the Twenty-ninth or other districts where there were contests. Bergerot ruled that the point was well taken, and the Twenty-ninth was passed. When the Thirty-first was reached Ruef demanded that it be passed also, as & con- test had been filed in_that district by him, as well as in the Thirty-seventh and Forty-fifth District. Bergerot ignored his point, and amid -great confusion the Thir- ty-first District was called. Proceeding under Bergerot's arbitrary ruli the roll call was completed, and Sec - Mahoney announced the vote as 15 ayes to 52 noes. The Herrin-Kelly- Crimmins crowd had won decisively, and the vote showed conclusively that with Bergerot ready to trample under foot any parliamentary usage that-threatened the supremacy of his faction there could be no hope of success for the Bouvier-Ruet men. —_——— THAT MINORITY REPORT. Bergerot's decision having been sus- tained, the chairman, without permitting any debate, put the motion made by C. W. Greene, that all delegates from dis- tricts where there were no contests be declared seated. Ruef contended that the minority report must be acted upon first, but Bergerot decided that the majority report must be passed upon first. This decision was so manifestly contrary to all usage that it was recelved with a storm of hisses. The motion was put and declared carried. Bergerot then made the antoundlng statement that Hathorn's motion, whic he interpreted to be the substitution of the minority report for the portion of the majority report not yet acted upon, was before the convention. This in face of the fact that Hathorn had made his motion betore Greene's motion, over which there For- FOR TOLA4)Y qvo 7OHORROW 2rammers Somp/e /ne 0/‘ /laaves. muslhin.on— derweor 3 g e Secret ob: Success LADIES' SILKOLINE VEST Low sleeves 100 per cent better.

The motion was carried, and | Ruef immediately had the chairman guessing by raising the point of order that such action tabled the whole question of the reports on credentials. Bergerot sparred for wind by claiming that Guil- foyle's motion was to table Hathorn's motion, but the dullest Kelly booster | knew that he was wrong, and Edmund | Tauszky came to his rescue with a motion to reconsider the voté by which the re- port had been tabled. Tauszky’'s motion, of course, prevafled, and Bergerot, by this time thoroughly rattled, was anxious to entertain a “mo- tion as’'a substitute for the whole.” Ruef | pinned him down again with a point of order that the motion to table was ain to be voted upon.

He clalmed that Hathorn's mo- tion was before the house. Tauszky said that there was danger of the convention getting Into a snarl over a very plain mat- ter, and he proceeded to explain it, but got himself tied up in such a snarl that the convention roared with laughter. Then some one moved the previous question on Hathorn’s motion to substitute the mi- nority for the majority report, and, though there had been no debate at all Bergerot refused to recognize Ruef and others and put the previous question amid a storm of hisses that stung him into a rage. On the rollecall on Hathorn’s motion, Martin Kelly again stood up in his place and grandiloquently announced the vote of the glorious Twenty-eighth solidly against the motion. The vote was taken rapldly and without waiting for a count by the secretary—the “‘secretary by pro- fession”—Bergerot decided lost. Edmund Tauszky moved that the re- mainder of the majority report be adopt- ed. Ruef moved as an amendment that the names of delegates in the Twenty- ninth, Thirty-third, Forty-second and Forty-third districts as they appeared on the temporary rollcall be substituted in the report. Bergerot ruled the amend- ment out of order, on the ground that Ruef's proposition 'had been disposed of in the rejection of the minority report. Ruef contended that the minority report included much more—the unseating of three other delegations—but Bergerot agaln refused him a hearing and refused to allow a free expression of opinion on the majority report, hurrying it to a vote, The Kelly-Crimmins deiegates and the Kelly-Crimmins heelers that had crowd- ed up al the aisles voted aye with a roar, and rgerot declared the majority report of the committee on credentials adopted.
