Leake of Woodland and Thomas J. Geary of San Francisco were called for | and only Mr. Geary was in humor to reply at so “busy a moment,” as he put it. Geary had some district busi- ness to attend to and explained that he could not add anything to the doc- trines already expounded by Congress- man Bell. Chairman Dockweiler called the con- vention to order at 11:30 o’clock and called for the report of the committee on credentials. Chairman Leake read the report and wcated that there were “no contests and no proxies.” The report was edopted on motion of Gray of Placer. The report of the committee on per- manent organization and order of busi- ness was presented by Vice President Leonard of the committee. The report recommended that all temporary of- ficers be made permanent. The order «f business was reported to be: Report 1% ) : 3 a\::\\\‘ )”I/ Fiva <% M.

After much debate a vote of the delegation was 1 re- sulted in a tie. taken while some politics was done The result was that Bush withdrew and when the delegation again met Dr. Beede was unanimously selected.

Dr. DOOLING IS NOMINATED. Frank H. Gould of San Francisco placed Hon. Maurice T. Dooling of San Benito in nomination for Associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. Gould in part said: “No convention has before it a duty more important than that of naming a judiciary official. At this important time both conventions, Democratic and Republican, owe it to the people to se- lect men who by past history have shown allegiance to the conmstitution and law, and T am going to place be- fore this convention one of such men, the Hon. Maurice T. Dooling. “I want to name a man that we can satisfy ourselves can satisfy the peo- ple. taken a “Judge Dooling is known and loved | throughout the State. 1 am satisfied with his record and if I were not I would not ask vou to vote for him.” The nominations were declared closed and the secretary cast the ballot for Judge Dooling. Loud and repeated calls were made for a speech and Judge | Dooling replied in part: “To say that I am deeply sensible of the honor you have done me scarcely expresses my feelings. The unsolicited and unanimous nomination for so im- portant a position is something of which any man might be proud. “It it should be determined at the next election that the office of Supreme Justice is to be filled and I am chosen to fill it, I assure youjthat you will not regret your action of to-day.” Following the momination of Judge Dooling for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court the nominations for Congressmen were ratified by the gen- eral convention, the First District be- ing the only one falling to report the nomination of a candidate.

In his letter Mr. Caminetti said that for rea- sons stated—absence of desire and means to make an active campaign—he must decline the nomination. He fur- | ther stated that the serious illness of his father necessitated his hurried de- parture from the convention city, which would prevent him from person- ally thanking the delegates of the dis- trict for the honor conferred upon him. His letter was diplomatically worded and the excuse for leaving the city be- tween two days appgrently good, but it failed to allay the anger of the dele- | gates of the First. ‘‘Somebody’s got a lash out some- where,” remarked one of the delegates, and Caminetti has been pulled down.” “He should have kept his agreement to remain here until this morning,” said another, “but he preferred to leave us in the lurch and he has weakened our chances for success by his precipi- tate action and left us without an avail- able candidate.” J. F. Coonan of Humboldt, chairman of the First Congressional District con- vention, called a meeting at 11 o'clock in Armory Hall. The situation was discussed warmly until a motion that Caminetti’s declination be accepted was resounding “aye.” An effort was then made to compel Humboldt County to name a candi- date, but without success. It was next suggested that Thomas Geary, chair- man of the Democratic executive com- mittee, be calledinto conference, but the majority of the delegation was against this scheme, and as a substitute the following named were appointed a committee on vacancies to round up a candidate: Judge Holland of Tuo- lumne, H. J. Gray of Placer, J. V. Sny- der of Nevada, John J. Wells of Te- hama and W. B. Sherer of Siskiyou. The committee announced that it would report in two weeks. U 778 Thirticth District Names Senator.

Wat- son will devote his energies chiefly to attacking the Democratic party on the complimenting the Thomas E.

Watson's speech of acceptance is al- ready being sent broadcast through the State as a Republican campaign docu- ment. His campaign in New York will be under the direction of Melvin G. Palliser and other anti-Parker men, who succeeded in getting William J. Bryan to make a speech attacking Par- ker in hls own State before the St. Louis convention. These me: several of whem have worked for each of the two great parties in former years, are plentifully supplied with money from some mysterious source. This year Republicans are predicting that the Populists will poll a great vote in New York.
