After these brief addresses the con- vention got down to business at once. Colonel George H. Pippy, president of the San Francisco Union League, moved that the chair appoint a com- mittee on’ credentials consisting of one delegate at large and three from each Congressional district. The motion prevailed. Committees on order of t | the delgates joined standing: 16.—Alden ue of “WASHINGTON, May Anderson, President State L Permit me through you to extend to the members of the State League of Clubs my hearty greetings and cor- | dial good wishes for a successful mee ing.

Cator of San Francisco | was listened to with interest while he | | 1 declared that the old fight of States’ rights versus national supremacy was being raised by the Democrats from the grave as a forlorn hope for the coming campaign. In part he sald: The recent decision of th: Supreme Court in the mercer case was dissented from by the Democratic Justices, who aligned themselves on the extreme State's rig! position, and Democratic leaders are already planning to obtain the support of the trusts on a promise to reverse Ahe great Republican doctrine that Congress has authority of interstate commerce and over corporations operating throughout the country. But while the Democracy fs flirting with the trusts, in the hope of gaining control of the Government. the people of this country will support the Republican party in enforeing the constitutional powers of Gon- gress over all corporations that affect the in- terests of the whole people.

The evening session of the conven- tion was a great mass-meeting, at which a large audience of Republicans | listened to well-known State leaders | and pledged anew their support to the party in the fall campaign. Lieutenant Governor Anderson was again in the chair. The best speech of the evening was made by Governor Pardee. The Governor was greeted with prolonged | cheers and spoke to the subject, “Why | California Should Stand in the Repub- | lican Column,” saying among other things: | Ladies and Gentlemen: When facts are o | abundant it becomes difficult to pick and | chocee reasons why California should stand, as she certainiy will stand, in the Republican 'BALLOT OF THE CONVENTION SHOWS ANTI-HEARST FEELING Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, May 16.—A delegate who represents an interior county said to a Call representative to-night: “Mr, Tarpey made a blunder to-day when he insisted on making a vote on the chairmanship a test of the strength of the Hearst sentiment in the convention. “Two motions introduced by him and intended to give Hearst a dis- tinct advantage were also defeated. He chose his own battleground and Jost. The result was a great victory for the anti-Hearst delegates, the in- fluence of which will be widespread in the East. “Colonel Mazuma” is work- ing industriously to-night to retrieve the loss thus sustained, but if the Hearst forces win a yictory ano;- row the whole country will know how it was done, and it cannot possibly neutralize the Hearst Waterloo in the initial ballot. “The whole country now knows that Hearst is thoroughly discredited by the true Democrats of California and that any apparent sentiment hereafter manifested in the convention in his favor will be manufactured and ob- tained by corrupt methods.” —_———————— BOARD OF TRADE ARRIVES. Rain Deters the California Delegation 3 From BSight-Seeing. ST. LOUIS, May 16—The California State Board of Trade arrived in St Louis this afternoon, but the members did no sight-seeing. A gentle spring rain, which began this morning after a long spell of balmy sunshiny weath- er, made the fair grounds unpleasant and besides the members of the party were tired after the trip. The Californians were met at the Unijon station by Commissioner Filcher and George+C. Roeding. The train was due at 7:30, but did not arrive until 1:30. Secretary Fletcher had wired ahead for rooms and the members of | the party were driven directly to their hotel, where they were visited by some of the Californians already here and made to feel at home. To-morrow the visitors will inspect the California building and the various State exhibits, which are now nearly completed. The California Press As- sociation members are also enjoying the fair and attending the National Editorial Association, now gathered here. —_————— HAVANA, May 16.—The carmen employed in hauling lumber went on strike to-day for payment in American instead of in_ Spanish money.

Gosper of Los Angeles told the delegates of “Illustrious Names on Re- publican Party Rolls,” and enthusiastic applause greeted his reference to great leaders of the party, past and present. | T. H. Selvage of Eureka, the last aker of the evening, talked of “The Young Man in Politics.” Selvage de- clared that the worst enemy of the United States was the indifference of young men to political duty. It is announced this evening that the deadlock in the First Congressional District over the delegation to the Chi- cago National Convention has been broken, sufficient votes having been cured by John C. Bull Jr. and C. E. Clinch to elect them. Senator Voorhies of Amador, who made a good fight for the honor, will be consoled with a place upon the Republican ticket for Presi- dential Elector in California. s E PRESENTED Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, May 16.—The follow- ing resolution was presented to the committee on platform to-night by Wil- liam Denman of San Francisco: “Whereas, William R. Hearst, a mil- lionaire, born in this State, has devoted his capital and energies to the develop- ment of a sensational journalistic en- terprise; and, “Whereas, Pursuant to his policy to increase the circulation of his papers by appealing to the most easily satis- fied lusts of men—envy and malice—he has denounced and viciously cartooned and caricatured the most distinguished leaders of our party in this State and nation; and, “Whereas, On the second defeat of ‘William Jennings Bryan, our standard- bearer in the last Presidential election, and within forty-eight hours of the end of that gallantly fought campaign, he cruelly lampooned Mr. Bryan as the “Old man of the sea of the Democratic party”; and, “Whereas, To satisfy a private spite he for years vilified and traduced the greatest representative and noblest character California has ever sent to ‘Washington, Senator Stephen M. White; and, ‘““Whereas, On failing to obtain con- trol of the, party machinery of the State in the last Gubernatorial election he announced his opposition to the can- didate of the convention, in which he had been beaten in open coatest, and REPUBLICAN LEADERS GROW ELOQUENT AT SACRAMENTO CONVENTION CAR CRASHES INTO 4 WAGON Accident on Street Car Line at Eddy and Laguna Brings Injury to Driver and Horse DISPUTE ABOUT SIGNAL Electrie Vehicle, Running at a High Rate of Speed Down a Hill, Is Unable to Stop —— Car No. 568 of the Bddy street elec- tric line, while running at a high rate of speed down the hill between Octavia and Laguna streets about § o’clock last night crashed into a lght wagon driven by H. A. Blaettler of the Mon- terey Dairy. The driver was thrown from his seat and dragged some dis- tance. The horse was knocked down by the force of the collision and he rolled nearly fifty feet. Both were painfully injured. Many of the pas- sengers jumped from the car, but only one, W. Bliss, suffered injury. The car was In charge of Conductor Green. The motorman refused to give his name to the injured people, saying it was a matter of no importance. Blaettler asserts that no warning bell was rung and that he did not have time to stop his horse at the crossing after he saw the car rushing down upon him. The motorman says he rang the bell, but the driver of the milk wagon is positive that he did not. The carmen sought the names of passen- gers who wers Wwitnesses to the acci- dent and then attempted to get the driver to sign a card exonerating them from responsibility for the colli- sion, but upon the advice of passengers he refused to subscribe his name. Blaettler was badly bruised and suf- fered from severe shock. Bliss was cut about the face. The horse was batter- ed up and both wagon and car were smashed. All the front windows in the latter were shattered and frag- ments of glass showered upon passen- gers who were riding on the “dummy.” A report of the accident was made at the company’s headquarters and an in- vestigation for the purpose of ascer- taining who was to blame will be com- menced at once. e e Veterans Fxpress Confidence. At the regular meeting of the Asso- ciated Veterans of the Mexican War the following resolution was adopted: “Resolved, By the Associated Vet- erans of the Mexican War, that this association, whose officers and many | of its members are familiar with the affairs and management of the Vet- erans’ Home of Californie, hereby cor- dially join with the and Army of the Republic in its expressions of con- fidence in the management of the home by the present board of direc- tors, and also in its conduct of the canteen, which was established at the home many years ago for good and sufficient reasons, more especially as an absolute necessity as a preventive against saloons outside and for the health and discipline of the members. There are many veterans of the Mex- can War cared for at this home, a this association is proud of the stitution, which it ha lish and which it as: in ma ment through its representative: L . . g defeated Franklin K. Lane for the Gov- ernorship by a narrow majority; and, “Whereas, His gross and malicious exaggeration of the few sporadic cases in- helped to estah- age- | of bubonic plague in California, leading to the quarantining of the exports of the State, and his attractively lurid accounts of crime and vice in Califor« nia, are but fair samples of his settled policy of colning newspaer circulation out of the alleged m rtunes of his native State; and, “Whereas, He has besmirched the fair reputation of California manhood by the publication under his own signa- ture of pages of grossly immodest praise of his own virtues and grossly dishonest representations of promised support in his candidacy for the Presi- dency: “Now, therefore, we, the Democratic Convention of the State of California, denounce Willam Randolph Hearst as a betrayer of the Democratic party and a traitor to the State of his birth, and we further instruct our delegates to present the above resolution to the Na- gional Convention in St. Louis.” There is gossip to the effect that another resolution similar to the fore- going will be presented to the com- mittee. M. F. Tarpey, director in California of the Hearst campaign, is a hard loser, and the members of the Alameda County delegation, which he chose to call “my delegation,” feit the lash of his tongue upon the adjournment of the afternoon session to-day. In re- turn Mr. Tarpey also felt the lash of invective. When the motion for ad- journment had been carried Mr. Tar- pey turned to the Alameda delegation and said: “All of you that voted for Mr. Jeter to-day are my friends and I invite you to partake of my hospitality in my private headquarters. All of you that did not vote for Mr. Jeter I consider are not my friends and I do not to have anything to do with you. S. Bachrach of the Forty-ninth As- sembly District, Alameda County, called Tarpey to account in very plain language and when he dropped the matter W. C. Donnelly of the Forty- seventh took up the roast of Hearst's manager. Thomas J. Thompson of the Fiftieth District next took a fling at Tarpey, but he was not to be beaten out; he was angry clear through. “Well, what I said stands,” he re- plied to the grilling he had received, “and those of you that didn’t stand for me to-day can get out.” ‘With the assertion that they would stay long as any man in the conven- tion his opponents went out and Tarpey walked away with his ad- herents. —_—————— SUES HUSBAND FOR SUPPORT —Loulse Galiardo, Who, three yeers ago. married An- gelo_ Gallardo, sued him for maintenance yes- rday. says he has not provided fer sincs April 1 of this year and she wants §30 &
