Mr. Braunhart was called for and ad- dressed the convention. He gave his word that he knew of no caucus being held and stated that he would not have agreed to one had he known it was to be held.

O'CONNOR of the Twenty - ninth Assembly Dis- trict, chairman of the Fourth e— tion, kcalled that body to order in Golden Gate Hall yesterday afternoon. He instructed C. M. Tropp- mann, the secretary, to call the roll of delegates. When this formality was con- cluded, John J. Greeley, a member of the Twenty-eighth Assembly District, ere- | ated some excitement by rising and pro- testing against a caucus which he alleged had been held vesterday morning in the rooms of the Monticello Club. “I would like to know,” shouted Gree- ley, “whether the chairman of this con- vention or the delegates empowered any set of men to caucus on nominees of this convention?” Greeley was Interrupted by cries of “Shut up!” “The gentieman is out of or- der!” and “Sit dow: but the young ora- tor from the South Side continued una- " he cried, “I rise to a question of privilege. 1 know for the last | two weeks that caucuses have been held. In behalf of the Twenty-eighth and ninth Assembly districts, I pro- test against such tactics.

Mooser managed to attract the chairman’s atten- tion with a point of order. Mooser's voice could scarcely be heard above the din. Amidst yells to sit down and “Go 'way back!” Mooser obeyed instructions, CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS. Chairman O’Connor then called for nom- inations for Congressman for the Fourth Congressional District. _Willlam H. Al- ford was recognized and took the plat- form to nominate B. J. Livernash. , He spoke as follows: ! Human liberty is the only true object of Rovernment. The struggle for its attainment @id not end when men secured the ballot. The ballot is only the means by which liberty may be_accomplizhed Liberty may be divided into three phases; first, political liberty or the right to vote—the right of every man to have a volce in the Government under which he lives; second, re- ligious liberty or the right to ording to the dictates of one’s own con- science; third, industrial liberty or the right ©f every man to apply those mental and physi- cal forces with which he is endowed to the creation of that material wealth which is nec- essary not only to the happiness, but to the existence of the race, end to retain from the wealth thus created the portion to which he s entitled. ‘We have cccomplished political liberty in this country. The. vote of the President of the United States counts no more upon election day than the vote of his butler or his boot- black, ‘We have accomplishel religious liberty. For In every State of this Union a man may wor- ship God as he chooses; he may follow the teachings of Confucius, bow before the shrine of Mohammed, subscribe to the doctrines of Judaism, announce himself a Protestant, or kneel in the fanes of Catholicism, ONE MORE STEP TO TAKE. The American Government has just gne more step to take. The establishment of industrial fresfom is the only work before it. Be- yond its accomplishment her functions are for- mal, her problems are solved. Democrats can- not ‘differ upon this; but until they agree upon methods there will be discord in Democratic organizations. Call it by whatever name you will, organize it as you may, clothe it in what- ever garb your fancy may dictate, Democracy ceases to be Democracy when it has any other ghiect than the Industrial freedom of man- ind. Gentlemen of the convention, I am in favor of 8 united Democracy and I nominate for mem- ber of Congress from the Fourth Congressional District of California Edward J. Livernash of San Francieco. Edward J. Livernash has been a Democrat all his life, and he is a Democrat to-day. Born in a mining camp of old Calaveras, educated in the schools of California, he became by his own exertions the editor and proprietor of a Demoeratic newspaper when he was only 16 years old. Two years later he sold his paper ard bought another which was independent in politics untii it came into his control, after which its every editorial was in support of the Democratic ticket. His work upon the edi- torial staff of the Examiner has demonstrated at once the scope of his learning and the strength of his intellect. GOES TO THE KLONDIKE. When only 20 years of age he was admitted to the bar of this State by a speclal order of the Supreme Court, to take effect upon the twenty-first anniversary of his birth. His short career as a lawyer was marked by briliancy and success.” In the early days of Pen troubles disappear when you get a fountain pen that suits your hand—one that writes without any shaking or coax- ing.

Nicholas Bowden Expresses Views of Nominee Wynn in the Absence of Candidate. J. WYNN, Supervisor of the City and County of San Francisco and the @ nominee of ' the TUnion Labor party for Con- gress in the Fifth Congressional Dis- trict, was nominated without opposition by the Demccratic convention yesterday afternoon. In presenting his name to the delegates, J. E. O'Brien of the Thirty- fifth Assembly District, called attention to the fact that Wynn was a friend of labor. Nicholas Bowden of San Jose em- phasized the fact that Wynn was & stanch end true Democrat and if elected would vote with the Democratic Repre- sentatives in the organization of the House. Frank H. Gould of the Thirty-seventh Assembly District, called the Fifth Con- gressional District convention to order. B. Millard of San Jose was elected secre- tary. There were only 41 delegates pres- ent. Chairman Gould said this consti- tuted a quorum and then called for nom- inations for Congressman for the dis- trict. "Y', O'Brien started to make a speech, placing W. Wynn in nomination, on the floor of the convention, but the del- egates demanded that he take the plat- form, He granted their demands and spoke in part as follows: 1 hope you will pardon my appearance. I have just left my work. I am glad to say I am a workingman, 1 take the liberty to place before this district convention the name of & man who represents the working classes of people, and that is why I take great pleasure in placing this man before this intelligent body of men who represent their party. The proposition is, We want.to nominate a man who can win. 1 want to place in nomination befo this convention W. J..Wynn. (Applause.) He 1s @ winner by name and a winner by nature, and be is bound to win against the getleman who now represents the district. NOMINATION IS SECONDED. ‘W. M. Gibson of the Thirty-eighth As- sembly District seconded*the nomination. Before nominations closed Nicholas Bow- den of San Jose was recognized by the chairman and delivered the following ad- dress in behalf of the nominee: Before this motion is put I want to state to the delegates present that I have had the pleasure of personally meeting Mr. Wynn and conversing with him upon political matters and issues that are dear to the heart of every true Democrat in the State of California. I asked him pointedly three or four ques- tions, and, while I am not here authorized to speak for Mr. Wynn, I have the right to state to you, as the conversation was not confiden- tlal, the substance of the conversation I had with this gentleman and the impressions left upon my mind. My first question to Mr. Wynn was: “‘Are you a Democrat?’ He stated to me frankly he was. That during his career in the city and county of San Francisco he had uniformly voted the Democratic ticket. That in many instarices in local elections he had seen fit to exercize the prerogative of an Amer- ican citizen and voted for candidates who were not members of his party, but in national poli- ties he had uniformly been a Democrat and supported that party’s candidate. I then asked him If he had voted for Bryan. He replied he had in 1896, but in 1900 he aid not vote. I asked him if he supported James G. Maguire, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and he said he had. I then asked him how he would stand if elected, and he re- plied: “In the event I am elected I will vote with the Democrats to organize the House.” SEARCH IN VAIN FOR WYNN. I think I owe it te you, gentlemen of the convention, to make this statement. Before the motlon is passed I think it is fair to have Mr. Wynn come before you and state his position. 1 therefore move that a committee of three be appointed by the chairman to call upan Mr. ‘Wynn and bring him before this convention. Chairman Gould appointed N. Bowden, P. J. Tomalty and W. Gibson to bring Mr. Wynn before the convention. They tried to reach the Supervisor, but without success. He was out on munici- al business, so the clerk of the beard nformed them. . The following committee was appointed to fill vacancies: Louis Ferreri, Robert J. O'Rellly, J. E. O'Brien, Joshua H. Bloom and Charles M. Stolz. A recess was taken for twenty minutes in order to give the committee time ‘to notify Supervisor Wynn. When the con- vention reassembled, Mr. Bowden made the following report: Your committee searched for Mr. Wynn, but was unable to fiid him. We learn he is out attending to official quties. Now, gentlemen, you and I will agree that the action of the Fifth Congressional District delegates is‘a matter - of vital importance to the dtstrict and to the Demiocratic party of California, and perhaps of the United States of America, and while I made the ,motion for- the appointment of the committee, I took the liberty to report that he had always been a consistent and hard-working Democrat. That in 1896 he voted for Bryan; that In 1900 he did not vote; that in 1898 he supported the Democratic nominee for Gov- ernor and has always acted with the Demo- cratic' party in every Instance except in local matters. If elected to Congress from the Fifth Congressional District he will help organize the House along Demo- cratic lines. 1 thought it proper to allow Mr. Wynn to state his views to you, but we have been un- able to reach him, STATEMENT IS ACCEPTED. Delegate MeCarthy moved that the con- vention accept Bowden's statement as be- ing the views of Mr. Wynn. This motion having prevailed, nominations closed and Mr. Wynn was unanimously nominated, the secretary of the convention casting the vote. Chairman Gould then appointed the following named t) act as a purity committee;: L. Kauffman, Charles A. Swelgert, Harry Wilbur, Carl Westerfeld and 5 ‘W. Peckham. Willlam H. Johnson of San Jose offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Whereas, We, the delegates of the Fifth Con- grossional ' District Convention of the .Demo- cratic party of the State of California, are desirous of securing such legislation as will cause the Government ownership and control of all public utilities, and increase the com- pensation of all Government employes, espe- clally the civil service employes, according to the increase of labor performed by said em- ployes, Therefore, be it resolved, that we hereby pledge our candidate for Congress from the Fifth District to exercise his entire power to cause such bill or bills to be passed by Congress as will preduce Government owner- ship and control of all public utilities, and in- crease the pay of ernment employes, ac- cording to the increase of labor performed by said employes. The convention then adjourned. L e e e e e e e e B NS e e e Y ) ing for American labor to compete with the labor of the Orient. From the:days of his mi- nority in 1884 through every campaign that has followed, down to the close of the campaign of 1800," he has_spoken, written, worked and voted for the Democratic ticket. - He is an orator of great ability, and his speech at Metropolitan Temple in the last campaign will not soon be forgotten either by the friends or the enemies of Democracy. Democrats of the Fourth Congressional Dis- trict, upon this record I submit his name to this ‘convention. I nominate him because he is a Californian. I nominate him because he is a self-made man. I nomidrate him because he is a tireless worker. I nominate him be- cause he is able. I nominate him because he is honest. 1 hominate him 'bécause he is the friend of the common people. I nominate him because he understands the Intercsts and the needs of his district and his State. I nom- inate him because he is an American. I nom- inate him because he is already the choice of an organization that is Democratic in its very instinct; and finally, of course, I nominate him because he is, in the broadest, best and truest sense, 8 Democrat. SIMS SECONDS NOMINATION. Senator J. C. Sims took the platform to second the nomination of Mr. Livernash. In part he spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman of the Convention: After & short interval we return to the man is; the T Seiliistt Gkl Wi Houiinate,as ofiies man but Edward J. Liver: ht of Sisung condlfions and Gader Pt m- stances and you would soon hear of the man Who was or who has been. Any other can- didate at this time would be like a man playing poker with Confederate money. A Pprophecy of his election would bring a smile to the bronze image of Sitting Bull. He would be pursuing the false phantom of hope and after the canvass was over he would find him- self the reckless somnambulist of & vanished dream, 1 have known Mr. many years. I have watched him brush aside the obstructions that confronted his early man- hood till to-day he stands an established man, the product of whose pen delights and charms the civilized world. Mr. Livernash sympathizes with our work- ing and healthy immigrant, who comes as a neighbor and friend to rear a home in our midst; Who reverences our constitutio ho is earnest in his allegiance to this State and Who is attached to the principles of our Gov- ernment, But he does not have that sickened sen- timentality that deludes him into the bellet that any tle of brotherhood or any claim of philanthropy should command him to extcnd the hand of welcome those who would flaunt the red rag of anarchy; whose servile action would degrade and disgrace Amerioan ‘manh Whose very presence contam- inates our American civilization. (Applause.) APPEALS TO CONVENTION. Gentlemen of the convention, Mr. Livernash possesses the intellectual strength and earnest- ness and the force of character which be- token liza- an htened and pre ctvi) tion. He is a fit, able and characteristic rep. resentative of an aspiring, enterprising and achieving people. I take great pleasure in Livernash for seconding the preséntation of his name and T trust this convention will place him in th pathway which will lead him to a position o honor to himself and usefulness to his fellow- men. (Applause.) There being no further nominations, the secretary was instructed to cast the vote of the convention for Edward J. Liver- nash.

OAKLAND, Sept. 22.—When the County Clerk’s office closed to-night there were 27,000 registrations recorded. That leaves abeut 3000 more to be heard from before registration closes on Wednesday night. Two years ago, before the Presidential election, the registration was 27,7%. The number of electors has increased a good deal since then, however, and it is esti- mated that there are 3000 of them in hid- ing somewhere. The County Clerk's of- fice is doing everything it can to entice voters to flll out blanks. They keep the office open every night until 9;30 o'clock and Wednesday night they will not close until midnight. —_— e———— McDADE NOMINATED. He Is Choice of First Equalization District Convention. J.

There being no opposition to Mr. McDade, he was elected by a unanimous vote. The secretary of the convention was instructed to cast the vote of the convention for the nominee. The chair- man was empowered to appoint a com- mittee on purity of election and to fill vacancies. An adjournment was then taken. e Democratic Convention.

Registration for the coming election closes at 12 o’clock to-morrow night. The duty of registering should not be deferred until the last day and last hour for enroli- ment. Every unregistered veter should go to the main office at the City Hall as early as possible and join the ranks of those enrolled for the general election. Dr. George C.

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEES. The itinerary of J. N. Gillette, Repub- lican nominee for Congress in the First District, is given as follows: Downieville, September 24; Somora, Sep- tember 3 Jamestown, Oectober 1; Angels, October San Andreas, October 3; Mokelumne Hill, October 4; Jackson, October §; Sutter Creek, October 7; lome, October §; Placerville, October 9; Georgetown, October 10: Auburn, October 11; Forest Hill,' October 13; Nevada City, October 14; Grass Valley, Octo- ber 15; Rocklin, Octeber 16; Corning, October 17; Red Bluff, October 18; Redding, October 20; Keswick, October 21; Yreka, October 22.

The Pardee-Anderson Club of Fruitvale, Alameda County, will meet at Masonic Hall, Fourteenth street, every Saturday night throughout the campaign. A rousing meeting will take place next Saturday evening. E. H. Marwedel is president of the organization. THE REPUBLICAN BANNER. Senator Thomas Flint of San Benito and Harold T. Power of Placer, members of the Repubiican executive committee, are in the city. Senator Flint inclines to the belief that Los Angeles County will win the Republican banner. It is readily admitted that Alameda will roll up a great majority for Pardee on November 4, but Los Angeles is expected to record a greater one. There has been a large in- crease of population in the south since the last general election, and the new- comers are Republican in sentiment. the voter. The present indications are that Republican counties of the interior will hold their own or give increased majori- ties for the ticket. The Republicans ex- pect to gain also in Democratic counties. San Benito County, for Instance, gave Maguire a majority of 246 over Gage. The indications are that the Republicans this yealr;owill diminish the Democratic lead to 150. The situation in the Fifth Congressional District is no longer complicated. The as- sertion was openly and authoritatively made in the Democratic convention in Golden Gate Hall yesterday that W. J. Wynn, the candidate who opposes Eugene F. Loud, would, if elected to Congress, vote with the Democrats to organize the House. This means that Wynn has prom- ised to break down the barriers of protec- tion to American industry. The Election Commissioners met yes- terday and adopted a plan recommended by Registrar Walsh to Prevent the pur- chase of the demands of election officers by brokers before the completion of their service. In a communication to the commission Walsh says that the evil 1s a crying one, as it tends to interfere seri- ously with the orderly eonduct of elec- tions. In many cases the clerks who sell their warrants beforehand abandon thefr posts and leave a few falthful ones to do the work for which all are paid allke. The plan decided on is to omit to send the demands to the Auditor before the close of any election. so they cannot be cashed until the work is done. The commission passed demands for 810 precinet registration clerks and for rents of 218 registration places. The Registrar was directed to kesp the office open until 12 o'clock midnight to- moriow, the last day for registration.
