New YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Miller,
of California, in conversation with re-
porter regarding the political situation
In his State, said: II have just return
ed from the Pacific Coast, having come
East to remain until Congress adjourns.
As to the situation, we practically have
none out there. IT is true the Demo-
Gratis have been successful in the state,
but it is "a hollow victory, and will not
stand any length of time and the success
of either party in the next Presidential
election depends entirely upon what
happens between now and that time"
"What were the local issues during the
late campaign"
THE prohibition question was the
| only one at issue which was OF import
ance. The Republicans had plank in
their platform upholding the observ-
ance of Sunday and preventing the sale
OF liquor on that day. This frightened
the liquor people, producers and consum-
ers, and they, combining with the wine
interest, proved too much for the Repub-
licans."
"What is the general condition of the
people of California;"
"A feeling of satisfaction exists, but at
present the grain crops have been very
large and the quality good, although
small prices are being realized. The
crop is going away rapidly which is bet
ter than to have it on hand unsold.'
