Ex-senator Williams Is Being Urged by
the Markham Men.
The Markham men, it is said, are prepar-
ing for an aggressive fight in the Sacra-
mento Convention, and some of the more
radical of his followers claim that it is their
intention to make the selection of perma-
nent Chairman test of their strength.
For this reason they are pushing ex-Sena-
tor A. P. Williams for the place, and if he
is elected they will regard it as an indca-
ton of the sentiment of the convention.
Mr.. Williams is pronounced Markham
man, and is aiding in the fight for the lat
ter's nomination. Whether or not his
name will be used for the place when the
time arrives is question; but the indca-
tions now are that it will and that he will
be elected.
