CALF oRNIA FOR BLAINE.
NJ II. DeYJuug Of California, 8 mem
Der Of the national committee, says the
California delegation has mapped out its
course during the bsllotirg. Il will not
present Bla,ne's name, but when Calitor-
lis is reached in The roll call en- The fist
ballot it will cast its quota OF sixteen
votes for the man from Maine. l. will
not ask anyone else to vote for him at
first, in fact IL would rather stand al0ne
for time while all the other candidates
are demonstrating that Ii ia Impossible
for any man among them 10 be nominated;
INST when this has been accomplished q
rush to Blame as the only possibility Is
expected, ard in sly event Calf lrnla will
vote soIidly for Blaine every ballot.
