San Francisco, May l7.-An attempt is being
made by enemies Of eX-COngrcssman Markham, of
Los Angeles, 10 kill his chances for the nomina-
tion for Governor by rcviving the stories that
he favors the division Of the State. There is alb
Solutely no truth in the statement, as Markham
Was one of the few prominent men in southern
california during the height of the wild land
boom who kept their heads and opposed the
movement To carve separate State out OF the
southern counties This attack, however, is an
earnest of the bitter fight which will be made on
Markham, as the northern and central counties
want TO elect candidate. The spread Of the
story has already injured Markham, as all Can
fornia, north of Tehachapi Pass, regards favorms
the division Of the State as objectionable. Many
Did Californians also regard Markham as a carpet
Dagger since he has been in the State only ABOUT
eight years.
