Chairman Ber- gerot, after the preliminaries were over, announced as the first order of business the selection of a nominee for the unex- pired term on the Superior bench, and Riordan came forward to name the popu- l.}r nominee of the evening, Frank H. Ker- rigan. { n offering Kerrigan's name Mr. Rior- | dan spoke as follows: | “It is a source of great pleasure to me | to seize this opportunity of placing in nomination a gentleman whom I have known both professionaly and _socially more than ten vears. He is not younsg: not old, though comparatively old in ex: perience. I have often listened to that stereotyped eulogy of men, wherein they | have been referred to as self made men. | | Still in this case I feel justified in so re- | ferring to him whom I am about to che. in nomination, the Honorable Frank H.| Kerrigan. | “In the tmmest sense of the word, Judge | | Kerrigan is a self made man. Through | the flelds and the factories he has labored | to the honorable position he now occu- | ples. During his six years on the bench of the Justice's Court he has honored the | Republican party and will bring greater | honor to it as Judge of the Superior Court.” “Though I do not belleve this conven- | | L3 MAX SLoss | B tion is properly constituted,” sald John M.

FATLED OF RENOMINATION. Judges Bahrs and Belcher Are Coldly Turned Down. T. D, Dinkelspiel next claimed the stand to name Judge George H. Bahrs for re- | nomination. Ha thought it not advisable | to swap horses in the middle of the | stream, but Martin Kelly’s cane did not | stamp approval and the gang did not en- | thuse. H. Mersbach of the Thirty-fourth in a | short speech named Davis Louderback, | and George R. Wells of the Thirty-sixth | ald he feit proud to name Danfel J. Mur- phy, ex-Judge and District Attorney. Thomas P. Woodward of the Fortieth named Max C. Sloss, and in_doing so paid | that aspirant high tribute. He referred to connections and his powerful personality, and went surety for and brilliancy of his term if election should come to him. Chairman Bergerot himself did the seconding and was not less strong in his expression than - | Woodward. Thomas K. Case of the Forty-second broke in at the end of it with an eloquent | seconding speech for Davis Louderback. | His effort was awarded with cheers from his own and the Kelly factions. Edmund Tauszky named Judge Edward | A. Belcher for renomination, and Leon | Samuels_of the Twenty-ninth named Thomas F. Graham, whose name produced fully as much noise as did that of Ker- rigan earlier in the evening. It also | brought Director General Kelly's cane into action. R. W. Roberts, new-fledged Assembly nominee from the Thirty-eighth, sprung an extremely mild surprise in the nomina- tion of ex-judge Cooney, and then with the cheers of all factions Abe Ruef took the stand to second eloquently the nom- | ination of ex-Judge Daniel J. Murphy. The nominations were closed by Case of | the Forty-second, who claimed the stand | to place before the convention the name | of ex-Judge George W. Schell. | “Absolute order prevailed before and dur- ing the balloting. None of the old fac- tional feeling was demonstrated save in the voting. A few of the anti-Kelly peo- ple stuck it out for Bahrs and Belcher, who were turned down, and for Cooney and Schell, who never had a chance.

Wild Enthusiasm Over the Name of Dainger- feld—-Convention of Excellent Person- nel and Capacity for Business. ——— OSS McNAB in his selection of delegates to the Democratic Mu- nicipal Convention pald great at- tentfon to quality. Last night representatives of the exclusive Democracy assembled at Odd Fellows’ Hall to nominate judicial officers and transact other business. Jasper McDon- ald, chairman of the County Committee, viewed the exclusives with pleasure. He was proud to observe that there were no political bummers or camp followers in the convention. The chairman, Louls de F. Bartlett, matched the convention in point of style and aristocratic dignity. He presided in a gentlemanly and decor- ous manner. Delegates rising to address the-chair were not ignored or insulted. The programme carefully arranged by Boss McNab was executed to the letter. The nominations foreshadowed in The Call were made without opposition. The Call announced that Lawlor, Daingerfield, Coftey and Costello would be nominated for Judges of the Superior Court. Fifteen legislative nominations as foreshadowed in this journal were duly recorded by the convention last night.

A rope was s mark the boundary line between delegatcs and outsiders. Seven police officers were on duty at the rope, but their services were not needed to out any ome in or bounce anybody out.

The Democratic party of the city and county of Sen Francisco, in convention assembled, hereby reaffirms its alle- glance to the principles contained in the National Democratic platform adopted at Kansas City and our untaltering loyalty to our matchless standard-bear- ers, Willlam Jennings Bryan and Adlal E. Stevenson. We pledge our candidates for the Le islature to a faithful adherence to th State platform adopted at San Jose. We call the attemtion of voters to the nececsity of adopting the constitutional amendment enabling the Legislature to enact a primary law. An honest and fearless judiclary is Decessary to protect public and private rights, and the well-known methods of corrupt political bossism now in comtrol of the Republican municipal party will cause voters to carefully scrutinize the names submitted, and on bebal? of our candidates we appeal to the independent voters of San Francisco to vote for such men as will, in case of their election, be uncontrolled and unpledged We commend the administration of the city government for its intelligent and aggressive policy in inaugurating the new charter, for the reduction of gas rates, water rates and for the assess- ment of valuable franchises and other property which by escaping taxation in the past has thrown an unjust burden upon all classes of our citizens. Natural monopolies in the control of private corperations breed municipal corrupt and we approve the efforts that are being made to bring the question of the owner- ship of a municipal water supply before the voters of this city. By this means corruption will be eliminated, the water supply improved and the future of San Francisco and its population shall be greatly benefited in this important branch of our municipal service. The city of San Francisco js congrat- ulated by the Democratic Muni: vention on having a clean, honest incorruptible administration affairs—something rare In y of other American cities—and for the part that the reorganized Democracy bas taken in bringing about these condi- tions we ask a respectful consideration of our candidates and a continuation of public confidence. + + O+ 4444440400000 4444440 interpret the law fearlessly and fairly— and at this there was great applause. W. W. McNair of the Thirty-ninth nominated Frank C. Kenney of the Thir- tleth for temporary secretary. There was no_other nominee. Hull McClaughry then moved that a | committee of eighteen, one from each Assembly District, on organization and order of business, be appointed by the chair. J. D. Maxwell moved that a similar committee on credentials be appointed. M. H. Hernan moved that a similar committee on platform be appointed. These motions were all carried.

Willlam Denman then moved that a s of fifteen minutes be taken, during ich time the chair could arrange its committees and the district conventions could meet and make their nominations, both for the Assembly and the State Sen ate. This too was carried and the c vention broke up for the time being.

Joseph M. Cumming came forward and nominated Louis de F. Bartlett, who, he said, would preside with | fairness and satisfaction, and to the ex- pedition of business. Bartlett was elect- ed by acclamation.
