HEARST, 65 TO 39 ORANGE COUNTY DEMOCRATS ENDORSE EDITOR Col. Heathman's Efforts to Assassinate Hearst an Eloquent Feature—Defegates to State Convention for Yellow Boy F. O. Daniel tried his level best to stem the Hearst tide at the democratic county convention on Saturday but it was useless. It was a Hearst convention, and that is all there is about it. The delegates wanted Hearst, they shouted for him and would have nothing else. The result was that a strong set of resolutions were adopted favoring the editor for president, and the selection of a delegation to the state convention instructed to the guards for Hearst and no one else. Col. Heathman, the silver-tongued Santa Ana orator, led the Hearst forces, and followed Daniel in a fifteen-minute speech, during which his arms flew about him like a flail and his sidestep-pings from one side of the hall to the other were the perfection of grace and agility. Heathman found the convention with him, evidently, judging by the applause, but had he continued five minutes longer Hearst would have been defeated. The heads of strong men were seen to droop upon their breasts, faces blanched to a pale pink and upon the faces of those present there was depleted evidences of the consternation possessing them. Heathman quit while yet there was a show for Hearst, but the latter narrowly escaped assassination. Col. Booty followed Heathman, speaking eloquently about men and things—Hearst, the little birds building their nests in the orange trees—and when he had finished and sat down no one man could tell if he were for Hearst or against him. Later, how- been defeated. The heads of strong men were seen to droop upon their breasts, faces blanched to a pale pink and upon the faces of those present there was depicted evidences of the consternation possessing them. Heathman quit while yet there was a show for Hearst, but the latter narrowly escaped assassination. Col. Booty followed Heathman, speaking eloquently about men and things—Hearst, the little birds building their nests in the orange trees—and when he had finished and sat down no one man could tell if he were for Hearst or against him. Later, however, he voted in favor of the Hearst resolution. Dr. Menges, who has made more political flops than any man in the county but who said his heart was always democratic, spoke in favor of Hearst, saying if the latter was not to be pardoned for his political sins, would he (Menges) have absolution for his sin of having been once a republican? The convention was composed of 133 delegates, of whom 120 were present. It was the best looking democratic convention in years. The hall filled rapidly, and at 10 o'clock Edgar Johnson, chairman of the county central committee called the meeting to order. H. C. Head arose and said he wished to nominate for temporary presiding officer of the convention a resident of the town which was entertaining the convention. He named Julius Schneider, who was elected chairman without opposition. W. E. Baker of Santa Ana was elected secretary. Schneider returned thanks briefly for the honor conferred upon him, and barring a brief seizure of buck ague, made a fair and impartial chairman. The convention at times was as wild as a set of bronchos, especially during the scrap over Hearst, and the chairman was several times carried off his feet. When tranquillity was again restored, matters went along peacefully, and it was easy sailing for the chair, as well as all others concerned. The session began with a motion by Homer G. Ames of Santa Ana that the reading of the call for the convention be dispensed with. There were several seconds, and the motion, on being put, was carried with few dissenting votes. Frank Porter then arose and said he wished to know what he was here for. He wanted to have the call read, and the convention thought so, too, evidently, for it, on a vote, reversed itself completely, and the call was accordingly read. The following committees were appointed, and the convention stood adjourned until 1:30 p.m. Credentials—Leo Goepper, Santa Ana; D. W. McDannald, Garden Grove; O. M. Robbins, Santa Ana. Resolutions—H. C. Head, Garden Grove; W. F. Heathman, Santa Ana; W. L. G. Heskins, Tustin; Geo. Rayburn, Garden Grove; J. A. Booty, Santa Ana. Order of Business—Homer G. Ames, Santa Ana; J. J. Zielian, Tustin; E. C. Pixley, Orange. The report of the committee on order of business was as follows: Protection taken from it, and we declare ourselves in favor of the only honest and scientific tariff system, namely: A tariff sufficient to raise the necessary revenue for the expenses of the Government, so arranged as to protect those industries of our country which actually need protection, and to tax luxuries, but leave the necessities of life untaxed; That we are in favor of encouragement and protection to honest capital and of every lawful and honest industry; That we advocate the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people; That we advocate the public ownership of public utilities; That democratic principles require public as well as private honesty, and we condemn and view with alarm the widespread system of graft and corruption that has permeated every department of the Government under this republican administration, and systematic whitewashing of high officials who have been found to be corrupt. The second section of the resolutions dealt with Hearst, and was as follows: Resolved, That in the personality of O hearst we recognize the champion of democracy whose expression from the eight democratic daily newspapers stamp him as a democrat of the true Jeffersonian type. His sincere and courageous warfare against the allied trusts that are squeezing the life-blood out of the American people commends itself to every free-born American who desires to engage in independent business and who desires to reserve for himself and his children the privilege of earning an honest living for himself and family. A native son of California, we point with pride to his glorious work of destroying the trusts which the republican party has fostered until they menace the independence of our legislature, the Congress and the Chief Executive of the United States. We therefore, endorse Hon. W. R. Hearst for his loyalty to democratic principles, his hatred of monopoly, his self-sacrifice in money and personal effort in abolishing the curse of trusts, and cheerfully endorse him as democratic candidate for president of the United States. Resolved That the delegates to the State convention by this convention be instructed to use all honorable and persistent efforts to secure from that convention an endorsement of the presidential candidacy of Hon. W. R. Hearst and to work to the end that the delegation sent to the national convention be instructed to cast their vote for W. R. Hearst as the nominee of the democratic party of the United States. When the first section had been read an Orange delegate moved an amendment dealing with the Kansas City platform, but the convention would have no free silver and voted it down. If the first section called out applause and cheering, the second provoked a demonstration which indicated that the convention was with Hearst. Judging by the foot clatter, the convention was with Hearst to a man. This noise was later explained by the fact that Frank Porter and Peter Schumacher were responsible for considerable of the noise. However, had Heathman prolonged his attempt to assassinate Hearst five minutes, the editor would have been a dead one. At conclusion of the reading F. O. Daniel, visibly affected and evidently under great mental strain, arose and moved that a recess of twenty minutes Protection taken from it, and we declare ourselves in favor of the only honest and scientific tariff system, namely: A tariff sufficient to raise the necessary revenue for the expenses of the Government, so arranged as to protect those industries of our country which actually need protection, and to tax luxuries, but leave the necessities of life untaxed; That we are in favor of encouragement and protection to honest capital and of every lawful and honest industry; That we advocate the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people; That we advocate the public ownership of public utilities; That democratic principles require public as well as private honesty, and we condemn and view with alarm the widespread system of graft and corruption that has permeated every department of the Government under this republican administration, and systematic whitewashing of high officials who have been found to be corrupt.

The following committees were appointed, and the convention stood adjourned until 1:30 p.m. Credentials—Leo Goepper, Santa Ana; D. W. McDannald, Garden Grove; O. M. Robbins, Santa Ana. Resolutions—H. C. Head, Garden Grove; W. F. Heathman, Santa Ana; W. L. G. Heskins, Tustin; Geo. Rayburn, Garden Grove; J. A. Booty, Santa Ana. Order of Business—Homer G. Ames, Santa Ana; J. J. Zielian, Tustin; E.

Report of committee on resolutions. 4. Election of three delegates at large to the state convention to be held at Santa Cruz, May 16, 1904, the same delegates to serve as delegates to the congressional and senatorial conventions. 5.

Adjourn to meet at Santa Ana at the call of the chairman and secretary for the purpose of nominating a candidate for assemblyman, and the transaction of such other business as may come before the convention at that time. When the convention reassembled, Jim Welch of Santa Ana started the ball by coming up in front and announcing that he held a proxy of J. O. Oberlein. The committee had ignored him and he wished to say, a word about it Jim seemed as if he had been having a collection of high balls, and tended to loquacity. A Santa Ana delegate objected to Jim's addressing the convention, saying he had not been elected a delegate, and according to the rules of democratic conventions, was not entitled to the privileges of the floor. Jim continued to stand, addressing the chair, while a number of delegates called him to order. H. C. Head, chairman of the committee on resolutions, before reading the report, said it would be presented in and cheering, the second provoked a demonstration which indicated that the convention was with Hearst. Judging by the foot clatter, the convention was with Hearst to a man. This noise was later explained by the fact that Frank Porter and Peter Schumacher were responsible for considerable of the noise. However, had Heathman prolonged his attempt to assassinate Hearst five minutes, the editor would have been a dead one. At conclusion of the reading F. O. Daniell, visibly affected and evidently under great mental strain, arose and moved that a recess of twenty minutes be taken to consider the merits of the resolution. Ray Billingsley moved to adopt the resolutions. Daniel arose and walking to the front turned and faced the convention. His face was pale and his every word seemed characterized by deep earnestness. He said he had been a Democrat all his life; no one man had been more loyal to the party than he. He opposed the resolution as being ill-timed and not in accordance with good Democratic policy. He referred to Hearst's attack upon Lane, and said if Hearst had supported the Democratic nominee for governor he would have been elected. "Have you forgotten Stephen M. White, the greatest Democrat who ever lived in California?" Daniell went on. "Have you forgotten how Hearst hounded him to his death—this young man who is now engaged in spending his daddy's millions?" Daniel continued at some length, and was greeted with great applause as he sat down. Here Col. Heathman got up and tried to assassinate Hearst. He now spoke more eloquently. He said: "Who is it that in his eight Democratic papers is supporting the principles of Democracy? [Shouts of Hearst!] Who is the man who has stood side by side with that great black eagle of the Platte, William Jennings Bryan? [Shouts of Hearst and cheers.] Who do we want? [A voice: 'We want Hearst!' Laughter and cheers.] Heathman continued for fifteen minutes, and was followed by Dr. Menges of Santa Ana, who modestly began by saying he was sorry he could not say he had always been a Democrat. [Menges is a flopper from Flopperville.] But, he said, his heart had always been true to Democracy." A hearst had transgressed he should be given. "I expect forgiveness for my political sinning. I shall never have the Democratic party again. Service: "You don't have to." And get forgiveness, why not forgive hearst?" [Shouts for Hearst.] A. Booty began by referring to Washington and Burgoyne, high-up sequence. He spoke in low tones, usually working up to a shout, and seemed to be feeling ill at ease. He ate at length, and finally some one asked Question. Booty took his seat instantly, leaving it an open question either he was for or against the resolution. The roll was called on the resolution. A. McWilliams was the first name said. He was not present. N. F. Godman came next. He voted yes, and all other Anaheim delegates in the exception of L. M. Hopper, shouted a lusty "no." Orange and West Orange were solid against the resolution. Santa Ana is the vote progressed it seemed first would make a runaway race for the anti's afterward said the conclusion the vote was announced: For the resolution, 65; last, 39. Young fellow arose and moved to it unanimous. Another delegate—Mr. Chairman, no gate has the right to move to make question unanimous unless he voted The delegate voted aye. The first delegate—No sir, I voted the question was put by the chair, apparently carried, although many were shouted out against the motion applause greeted the announcement of the vote on the Hearst resolutions following were nominated for states at large to the state convening at Johnson, Fullerton; J. A. Byrne, Santa Ana; W. N. Baker, Santa Ana; M. Nisson, Santa Ana; W. H. Gegeon, Santa Ana. Dollar being taken resulted in the notion of the following: Edgar Johnnell, J. A. Booty and W. H. Spurgeon.

McCormick, a well-to-do citizen of Iowa, is in town this week, the guest of his old friend, George Hunter, whom he has not seen in years. The two were roommates back in the halcyon days of 1857, and tell many interesting reminiscences of that time. Mr. McCormick came to California to join his wife, who has been in this State for the benefit of her health for a year. He came with a Methodist special, and had lots of good company all the way out. On the train a lady inquired of him: "Are you going to the Conference?" "No," replied Mr. McCormick, "I'm going to hunt up my wife, who has been in California a year." On alighting from the train, Mr. McCormick was met by his wife, and the following day, while walking along the streets of Los Angeles, was tapped on the shoulder by the lady, who inquired: "Have you found your wife yet?" The man from Iowa had to admit that he had. On the train over at San Bernardino he saw, as he peered out of his window as the first streaks of dawn began to illuminate the eastern sky, a vineyard, luxuriant in its springtime verdure. The vines were large and fine appearing. "What kind of vegetables are those?" he asked the conductor, who turned his head away politely and smiled. Mr. McCormick is enjoying himself to the fullest extent, and Mr. Hunter has taken a contract to show him the many beautiful places in Southern California. Left the Gold Place.

Orange blossoms were in her hair and she carried a bouquet of white carnations and maiden hair ferns. The bridal couple entered the room to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, and passing through a rustic gate, stood under a canopy of lace caught up by a true lover's knot and two white dues and supported by pillars of calla lilies. A miniature boat was suspended above their heads and garlands of silk added to the beauty of the scene. The shades were drawn and candles were lighted and a flood of mellow light made the moment most impressive, while "O Promise Me" was softly played during the ceremony.

Mr. Moran is 73 years of age, and for some years past has been troubled with failing eyesight. He was consulted with oculists in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but they hold out little if any hope for him. Mr. Moran is a prosperous orange grower, and his friends indulge the hope that he may yet regain the use of his eyes. There is nothing so distressing as this salady, and sincere regret is felt for his excellent gentleman. Father Dubbel was called to San Juan some days ago by the illness of a member of his church residing there. Father Dubbel some time ago asked that the San Juan district be attached to the Santa Ana parish, and this was done, relieving him of the necessity for making visits there. But the absence of the Santa Ana priest, who was recently transferred to Castroville, and the non-arrival of his successor, made necessary for him to attend the parishioner stricken with illness, and he accordingly repaired to his bedside. Mr. Dubbel is recovering from a serious illness of a fortnight's duration consequent upon an attack of heart failure which overcame him while he was treated at dinner at the residence of his son, Rev. Father Dubbel. His wife and younger son were with him at the time, Rev. Dubbel being absent at Ponona. He was carried to his residence and physicians summoned. Mr. Dubel remained in an unconscious state until midnight, when he revived. He is able to be out again and is convalescing.
