The Republican State Central Com- mittee is taking care to inform the voters of the First Congressional Dis- trict of the fact that when Caminetti got his bill passed the House and Sen- ate were Democratic and a Democratic President sat in the White House. If Caminetti was then incapable of fram- ing and securing the enactment of legislation favorable to the miners what could he do in the next Congress as a member of the minority.

Continuing, Mr. Livernash said that with the idea of advancing the Ameri- can merchant marine he stood in Congress for making the coastwise laws immediately effective in the case of the Philippines, rather than five years from 1904, as some proposed, or two years from 1904, as others de- sired, and that when the choice was between deferring until 1906 or defer- | protect their interests.

The names of President J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia, Scott Bonham of Cincin- nati and Dr. J. H. McFatrich of Chi- cago were placed before the convention. The nominating speeches displayed some feeling. Frank P. Lindsay of Kansas, H. T. Leafitt of Nebraska and Alfred E. Lunt of Massachusetts, campaign organizers of the College League at the Western Republican headquarters, said the lack of organization in their States was due to the failure of the national president to devote attention to them. The first two seconded Dr. McFatrich’s nomina- tion and Lunt supported Bonham. They charged that there was a cut and dried programme to re-elect Moore. Judge C. J. Gallenkamp of Kansas warmly de- fended President Moore from the criti- cism of the other speakers. Harry B. Kirkland of the College League also criticized President Moore, and charged that there was an election slate to con- tinue the present officers in power. The ballot resulted: Moore 793 2-5, Bonham 267 2-3, McFatrich 249 2-3. On motion of Scott Bonham, seconded by W. G. Edens of Chicago, the election of Moore was declared unanimous. tee was then read. It was adopted unanimously and is as follows: RATIFTES PARTY PLATFORM.

The people have been made acquainted with the record and achievements of the Republican party and its standard- bearers; and they have listened to the criti- cisis and pretensions of the opposition.

Education Board Begins Pro- | ceedings to Have Charter| Amendments Submitted | SCHOOLS ARE AFFECTED Wants Propositions Voted | Upon at Special Election to Be Held Next December The Board of Education yesterday began the circulation of petitions to” be filed with the Board of Supervisors asking that certain amendments to the charter affecting the administration of the public School Department be sub- mitted to a vote of the people. It is the intention of the board to obtain, if pos- sible, the signatures of at least 15 per cent of the qualified electors, as re- quired by the charter for the submis- sion of any amendment to the organic law of the city. The Board of Supervisors has already sent a score of proposed charter amend- ments to the Election Commission to be placed on the official ballot at the election to be held on Novem- ber 8 next. President Roneo- vieri of the Board of Educa- tion takes the ground that charter amendments shall only be submitted at intervals of not less than every two| years. The last time charter amend- ments were voted upon was on Decem- ber 4, 1902, and Roncovieri contends that the election this year for the pur-| pose should be held on December 4.

Three of the Commission- ers met and each selected those who will be called on to serve on the elec- tion boards. 4 Commissioner Voorsanger appoint- ed M. H. de Young of 1999 California street to act as a Republican ballot clerk in the First Precinct of the For- tieth Assembly District; W. W. San- derson of 2504 Leavenworth street to act as a Democratic judge in the First Precinct of the Forty-first -District.

For instance, the Wood- land Democrat fancies that Bell ought to be re-elected to Congress because he cloged the canteen and diminished the the death rate at the Veterans' Home. The Democrat accepts as gospel truth a statement made to the little coterle of delegates which nominated Bell at Santa Cruz that a great falling off in the death rate had followed the closing of the canteen. The truth is that there were five deaths at the home in July, 1903, when the canteen was open, and six in July, 1804, when it was closed. There is practically no change in this respect. The veterans who want whisky and feel that they must have it get it at the saloons in Yountville. If Bell could close ali the saloons in the State and wholly prohibit the sale of liquor the death rate might be diminished, but he cannot lower it by forcing a thirsty veteran to walk a mile to get his glass of grog. THE “BIRD CAGE.” The Woodland Democrat’s allusion to the “bird cage” at the Veterans’ Home is something that may afford special delight to one class of Bell's supporters. The officers’ cottage on the home prem- ises, which is presided over by an esti- mable German lady, the mother of five children, is a place that is occasionally visited by the wives and daughters ot the officers and directors. The innuendo contained in the appellation “bird cage” is obvious. The modest hospitality of the cottage is extended to the national the Grand Jury, one against Joseph McMillan, charging him with lodging- house swindling and the other against an assoclate named Stafford. A scheme of stuffing lodging-houses and then selling them at high prices has been operated in the city for several months. Testimony was taken concerning complaints against Thomas S. Burns, a notary public, and a Captain Lukes, gaid to be a retired naval officer, of having swindled eight men out of $100 each in selling them an interest in a fake mine in Honduras. The men were to work the property and a di- vision of profits was to be made. No- tary Burns is alleged to have vouched for the project. The witnesses in this ‘case were Willlam Hunius and M. Hunius, two of those victimized. ADVERTISEMENTS. P tuh B.x ¢ 1-% 83 » e High-Grade Clothiers! 1 No Branch Stores. No Agents. WE FIT YOU A8 WELL AS THE BEST TAILORS.

This convention assembles at a time when the glaring weaknesses and inconsistencles of Democratic arguments can best be portrayed. Having done nothing, our opponents have nothing to present. They are in business only breaking { to find fault with those who do something— | earcasm and ridicule, like the envy which fol lows success, are their stock in trade. W bave no fear they will deceive the Republica) «i independent voters of this land, but be. estly declare the imperative necessity that d volves upon every Republican of casting his vote upon election day for the maintenance of Republican principles. No citizen should evade that solemn task; no true Republican will. The right of suffrage is the highest privilege as it is the highest duty of the citizen. Representing the Republican clubs of the United States this convention, therefore, re- spectfully directs the attention of the two i milllons of volunteer workers who compose it to the great importance of active, energetic and aggressive campalgn work. It insisted that no Republican club man shall take for granted that victory is assured; his duty and that of his friends he may influence is not finiehed until the polls shall close on the Sth of November.
