this hour Dimond S friends are trading
everything for votes. They claim to have
IS votes which they will pledge for any
| thing in order to secure his nomination.
On the other hand Swift's friends are jubi-
liant, and claim to have formed combina-
ton with Alameda, San Joaquin and Sac
ramento that will give the nomination on
the first ballot tomorrow to him. His
friends claim that Dinond cannot lead the
