DELECATES ELECTED T0 CONVENTION Official Rollcall as Compiled by the Secretary. - ——— ‘Names of Eloguent | Speakers Are on List. Lo FREE DELEGATION IS EXPECTED. T scems to me now almost beyond question that the convention will not indorse any candidate and will send an entirely free delegation to the National Convention at St. Louls. As to who the delegates will be there has been little discussion, this question at the nresent time not being so important as that of the effort that is being made to tie up under definite instruction those that are finally selected. However, Mr. Geary and Mr. Dockweiler have been most frequently mentioned for the honore of delegates at large. and they must be considered as having formidable backing. At the caucus in San Francisco 280 delegates were represented and those that represented them realize that any situation that may present itself at Si. Lopis will have to be met at the time it arises. Hence it is the general desire of at least the country dele- zatcs to this, the State Convention, that men best qualified to act in the interests of the State and the Democratic party be sent there. So far as the fight for chairman of the convention is concerned it is the desire of those that oppose 1 instruction that the man that holds the gavel shall be fair and impartial. The opponents of instruction will i insist that they be given full representation on all committees and that their right to be heard in the con- | vention shall not be abridged. This will be insisted upon and without doubt the point will be won. As to | | the convention adopting a platform, all it can do is to adopt a general outline of -matters it believes should be contained in the national platform. The Democrats of California have many well defined opin- ions regarding the tariff and the trust qnestion which they desire shall be made known t‘ the national party and these may be set forth in resolutions. This convention should adopt a resolution upon the irrigation ques- tion—a very vital question to California. However, any resolution this convention may pass will not be au- thoritative. It will merely be an expression of the desires of the Democrats of California, but doubtless it will have its effect, which is the desire of all those that will take part in the deliberations that begin to- ROrrow.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 15.—The Re- | publican State Convention meets here next Tuesday and Wednesday under the new conditions. This is due to the | Joss of Senator Hanna, who had at- tended the gatherings for a score of years and dominated them for the last decade. This year no one is supremely master, and in vlace of Hanna there is | a group of leaders. There are 951 delegates in the conven- | tion. A large majority is affiliated with what is called “The Old Hanna Guard,” | and there is no doubt about the con- | vention being controlled by Governor Herrick, George B. Cox and Senator Dick, who, with Senator Foraker, will be the delegates at large to the Repub—\ lican National Convention at Chlcngo.‘ The principal contention is for con-| tinuance of control of the party organi- zation, and it is conceded that Gov- ernor Herrick, who will be both tem- porary and permanent chairman of the | mmentlnn will be re-elected as the| Ohio member of the National Com-| mittee and that Senator Dick will be re-elected chairman of the State Ex- ecutive Committee, s0 that the old| Hanna organization is assured 6f con- | tinuance. What is called the “Old: Hanna Guard” will name the ticket | and the dnleguten. the latter including | Senator Foraker “for the sake of har- | mony and in deference to Preside Roosevelt.” The “organization men” | will write the platform. The only “free- | for-all” races will be for alternates at | large and minor places on the State ticket. —e—————— HEAD CURES RHEUMATISM Yramk Cessne of the Prairies Dis- covers Remedy for Pain- ful Ailment.

Several of the delegates from Los Angeles are exhibiting their regularly rurchased tickets since the story was circulated, but those having passes are uot anxious to display their transporta- tion. The anti-Hearst people are mak- ing capital of the affair and it is more than likely that the matter will be referred to in the convention. |arrival to-night of the balance of the Tos Angeles delegation comes a scan- dal. It is openly charged that many of | the delegates made the trip to Santa Cruz and will return to their homes on free passes issued by the Southern Pa- cifics The story is creating considerable ad- verse u-mnjnl regarding the methods being empldyed by the Hearst element ized to-night by electing A. 8.

Both officers are anti-Hearst men and their election is considered a good omen as to the final outcome. ‘While Los Angeles is looked upon as a £plit delegation, Hearst is said to have the majority of the votes.

There were not more than 200 delegates in the hall and- among thém was a liberal | sprinkling of anti-instruction delegates. Enthusiasm of the simon-pure, 18-ka- rat Democratic type was absent. When there was a cheer it was thin chested and from some lonesome delegation trying to impress upon the others thal it was first and foremost in the battle line. Speeches were many, but positive statements few, while silence, start- lingly often to the Hearst managers, followed the call for county delega- tions to announce their allegiance. ‘When the poll was.over M. F. Tar- announced that the figures proved that the fight was won, but he refused to show the.figures. They were for his private information, he said, not for general knowledge. The night before | his figures were for general distribu- tion. To-night it was apparent that | passive face gave no sign. delegates depart with the statement ringing in their ears that the fight was won. TARPEY OPENS MEETING. Tarpey opened up the 10:25 with a vigorous speech, in which he -suggested that past differences be buried and forgotten. and that all good Democrats unite and pull for Hearst. He talked at length of burying the | hatchet and added that unity was the only salvation. In part he said: “Gentlemen, we are gathered here to-night to show dent, and when I call the roll from the different counties I want each delegate to respond and tell how his county #tands. We do not want the whole of Banta Cruz to know what is going on at this meeting, and therefore I will ap- point - Thomas Bohan of Sacramento | County sergeant-at-arms and instruct him to clear this hall immediately of every outsider.” This portion of Tarpey's speech did not seem to meet with the approval of those present. There was no cheering evident. It was very much otherwise. Some one in the back of the hall yelled out, “Well, that's the way with you fellows all the time. You're afraid to let the public know what's doing. Why don’t you act openly and let us all have @ chance?” Cries of “That’s right; let it be an open meeting,” followed this abrupt remark. Tarpey was perplexed | for a moment, the popular sentiment and said: as long as you seem to’ favor an open meeting we will conduct this caucus in that way. Now, when I call the names of the delegates from the different counties I want them to come forward and announce how they stand.” It was some time before the house was in order. The gathering seemed anything but harmonious, the men got up from their seats and stalked about the hall evidently for want of some- thing better to do. Tarpey made re- peated calls for order and implored negs and have the thing over with as soon as possible. ALAMEDA IS ABSENT. The first county called was Alameda. There was no response. Some one sug- | gested that the Alameda delegates come | out of their hiding places and declare themselves. Aftr a brief wait Tarpey announced that the delegates from that county were delayed, but he assured every one that they were solid for | doubt as to the outcome. Alpine, Amador, Del Norte and Butte were called in the order with the same result. Scouts were sent around the hall to try and resurrect | some of the delegates from these counties, but without success. Tarpey after a pause decided to pass them for the time being and proceed with the regular order of business. Fresno came out strong for Hearst. The leader from the raisin county an- nounced with pride that the entire twenty-one delegates were lined up for the Californian. This provoked quite hnson, W. H.

SANTA CRUZ, May 15.—The ac- tion of the San Francisco dele- |gates will decide the issue in the Democratic State Convention. The | forces of Hearst, under the leader- ship of M. F. Tarpey, count on the support of this delegation. Without this support the resolution to send an instructed delegation to the National | Convention will fail. The interior is claimed by both sides.

The po«iuo of fifty-nine delegates is not placed in the foregoing alignment. Several of the small delegations are known to be neutral. The opponents of instruc- tion appear to be gaining in strength and confidence. e et e b ey mitted that Hearst’s cause was a lost one in the great county of the State. He said they did not care for San Fran- cisco and could get along without it. | SAN FRANCISCO NOT NEEDED. | One delegate from the Bay City was | brave enough to stand and announce | that he thought San Francisco was all | right and would line up properly. This little sveech did not seem to enthuse | the mem_ers to any great extent and | Tarpey agxin announced that the San | Francisco delegation was not needed to win the fight for Hearst. When the last county had been called | and the last response delivered, Chair- man Tarpey, after glancing at his | figures @ moment, said: | ‘“Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to in- ! form you that this caucus here to-night demonstrates that we will control the convention by a handsome majority. | We will control the convention and | carry our point even though every dele- | gate from San Francisco votes against us. “But there is one point I want to htrongly impress upon you. I want you | to know that Willlam T. Jeter is our candidate for chairman of the con- vention and I ask that you stand by him as loyally in the convention to- morrow as you have amnd will bv our! candidate for the Democratic nomina- tion for Presidemt of the United States, | Willilam R. Hearst.” Each side is confident of victory. The Hearst men clalm a majority of sixty. The opponents of instruction offer to wager money that Gould will be chosen chairman of the convention. Barney Murphy. chairman of the Demoeratic State Central Committee, will call the delegates to order at the appointed hour to-morrow at 11 a. m. —_————————— | !
