The «Kelly programms went through thout a h delay being caused b j ku[ the commitiee until a ma- nearly Once the meeting was called to order, Martin Kelly, who was personally en- gineering the organization, saw to it that business was hurried along so that he might be free to devote all of his atten- tion to the caucus of the San Francisco legislative delegation, at the Palace Hotel, in the interests of Pendleton's fight for the Speakership. e, one man “who, protested against Kelly’s slate and. quéstioned the Republi- canism of one of the officers-elect was called a llar and knocked down for his pains. L. A. Rea of the Forty-fourth As- sembly District arose afier the election of officers was completed and sald: “Gentlemen, if you men are good Re- ublicans I am not and ought not to be ere. You have elected as first vice chair- man a man who is not a Republican. It is a shame for this committee to chooss him for the office. He is no more a Re- publican than Christopker Buckley.” E. J. Morris of the Forty-second Assem- District, a faithiful henchman of Kel- , shouted, "*You'rs a liar,”” and struck Rea a blow on the chin that sent him In a heap on the floor, back against the wali.

Bergerot, chairman of the last convention, called the meeting to order ond John F. MeGlynn was made tempo- rary secretary. Hergerot =aid: “There has beert some doubt expressed as to the legality of this committee, as the amendment to section 1186 of the Po- litical Code provides that county com- mittees ate to be chosen biennially. I have secured legal advice from unblased torneys and thelir opinion is that in any case the amendment can apvly only to counties where elections are held biennial- ly, and not to those, like San Francisco, that hold annual elections. Further, the amendment is undoubtedly unconstitu- tional, as the General Assembly has no power to control by legislation the or- ganization of voluntary bodies."” Hergerot was nominated for permanent The Komfort retires fr lowest possible figure.
