The chalrman replied that as far as he knew every Congressional dis- trict was represented equally on all the ommittees. If such was not the case it as an unintentional oversight. Thé names of the platform committee as read were compared with the originai list as prepared by Chairman Neff, and the discovery was made that in transerib- Jing from the original list the name of Dr. C. L. Tisdale had been omitted by the copyist. This correction having been made, Metcalf expressed his satisfaction and the incident was closed. Secretary Ryan announced that the committee on credentials would mnfeet after adjournment on the platform in the convention hall, the committee on order of business in a room near the main en. trance into the building and the commit- tee on platform in the .Golden Ragle Hotel. All committees were to meet im- mediately after the recess and ' to com- plete their work and file reports at the session to-morrow.

The battle for the nomination in the Eighth District is a four-sided affair between A. E. Nutt of San Diego, Senator Smith, representing the section between the boundaries of Kern and San Diego County; Daniels of Riverside, and Booth of Santa Barbara. | The delegates in this district will meet to-morrow afternoon and make their se- lection. | In the First District there is an_excep- tionally hot contest between ex-Senator | Gillette and State Senator Selvage. There are several other candidates sparring for | the position, but the fight is conceded to be between Selvage and Gillette. The | delegates from this district will make | thefr choice to-morrow. The delegates from the Second Con- | gressional District met_this afternoon at fhe Senate chamber and nominated Frank L. Coombs for Congress. Coombs had no opposition. The delegation was quickly organized and Coombs was elected by acclamation. | “The delegates in the Fourth District | will meet to-morrow and renominate Ju- lus Kahn.

Neff, Chair- man of the convention, was the'recipient of the most hearty congratulations upon his election this evening. His headquar- ters at the Metropolitan were crowded with visitors until a late hour, and to all of his supporters he made the fol- lowing statement relative ‘to the honor given him: “] appreciate, as much as man can, the great honor done me by the conven- tion in choosing me as its’ presiding of- ficer. I will not say that it was a tribute to my personal worth, but I believe that the action of the convention will do much to unify and harmonize the Republican party of the State. The principle in- velved in this contest is a grand one and it is the adherence to that principle which will insure the success of the Re- publican ticket in November next. It should be the aim of the convention to frame a platform of such strength as will insure the hearty support of every well- wisher of the State and her institutions, %.— The | hie had into the Neft column, | Dr. Pardee’s headquarters, which are in | in the room of the doctor | to-night, a fact which gave rise to much | | CONGRESSIONAL l These two s were filled all afternoon and The headquar- ters of Gage were a scene of gloom.

They will include a strong labor plank and Roosevelt's: administra- tion will receive indorsement. An attempt was made to foist a resolu- tion upon the committee indorsing Gage's administration, but it was tabled. Had Metcalf been elected chairman instead of “Uncle Jake"” Neff the Governor would] have beenn commended for everything he has done during the past four years. | Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento had it | cut and dried to be chairman of the com- mittee and it is understood had prepared a number of nice resolutions for the con- vention to adoot. His disappointment | was great, and to appease his mind he | sent in a few of his prepared resoiutions to the committee. 3 MANY ASPIRE TO THE JOB OF COMMISSIONER CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMEN- TO, Aug. 25.—To-morrow the various coun- ties in the First, Second and Third rail- road distriets will nominate candidates for the office of Railroad Commissioner. In the First District, which comprises twenty-eight counties north of San Fran- cisco, there are three candidates striving for the nomination. William Beckman, president of the People’'s Bank of Sacra- mento and one time Railroad Commis- sioner, is out for the office. He was de- feated eight years ago by H. M. La Rue by 100 votes, and is willing to allow his name to.go before the people again. Mayor A. C. Irwin of Marysville is also a candidate. His interests are being looked after by Lieutenant Colonel Forbes of Marysville. Irwin 1s on the scene and is sanguine of winning. Banker Crooks of Benicia is also in the fight. In the Second District Charles Lau- meister, incumbent, seems to have things his own way. W. F. Herrin of the South- ern Pacific' Company is said to be op- posed to Laumeister and may spring an- other candidate when the railroad dis- trict convention comes together to-mor- | row. Martin Kelly, the San Francisco | boss, favors Laumeister. The Second | District comprises Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties. The Third District, which comprises all the counties in Central and Sou!heml the honor of wearing his badges. He re- sents the suggestion that any of his northern friends wilk transfer their sup- port to other candidates. Flint i{s making no claims and giving out no statements for publication. He is encouraged by the victory won to-day in the organization of the convention and has no objection whatever to the action of the committee on order of businéss in recommending that the gubernatorial nomination should be placed first on the list. It is known that Hayes and Edson wanted the Governor's fight to come off | first and Flint did not care a snap either way. His delegates are firm and enthu- slastic over recent accessions. il O California, has a number of candidates who are anxious to secure the nomina= tion. Orrin L. Henderson of San Joaquin wants the office, and he has the backing of many delegates. Nehemiah Black- stock, incumbent of the office, wants to retain his position and belleves if he is given the nomination he will be elected. Henderson and Blackstock have a worthy rival in Dr. Ralph G. Skillen of Pasa- dena. He belongs to a number of socie- ties and is held in high esteem by the delegates from his section. Skillen will be placed in nomination by the Rev. Rob- ert Burdette. His friends believe that Burdette’s humor will win votes for Skil- len, and they are banking on the humor- ist's remarks to secure Skillen the nomi- nation. MEN ARE NAMED FOR POSITIONS BY DISTRICTS CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMEN- TO, Aug. 25.—C. H. McKinney was nomi- nated for Assemblyman from the Elev- enth Assembly District to-day.
