Governor.
On the Republican side the candidates
are more numerous than on the Democratic
and each has his friends, urging his pecul-
lar fitness for the trust. The one oftenest
mentioned is Colonel II. IL. Markham of
Los Angeles, who will have, it is believed,
the $50 votes from the south as unit. He
has served in Congress for one term and is
wealthy and popular in his section.
CHARLES n. FELTON,.
Charles n. FELTON, of San Mateo is re-
garded as a strong probability. He denies
that he is in the field, and Stephen Nj.
White is authority for the statement that
he is looking ahead with view to succeed
ing Senator Hearst. In that event 1t is not
probable that he would accept.
L. j. GREGORY.
e. J. Gregory, eX-Mayor OF Sacramento,
lisa young man and Native Son, and will,
it is said, receive the support of the Grim
mens-kelly delegates in the State Conyen-
ton.
j. B. PATTERSON.
J. B. Patterson of Placer possesses
great deal of strength in the rural districts.
His principal support will come from the
mining counties. in which he is very popu-
lar, being an old Californian. He is re-
garded as strong man.
FRANK L. CooMBs.
@The youngest of the candidates is Frank
L. Coombs of Napa, in which place he was
born and reared lie is Sc years old, and
will be supported by the younger element
OF the party.
N p. CHAPMAN.
General n. P. Chapman of Red Bluff will
have the undivided support of 1olo, Te-
hama and ColuSa, and will receive scatter
ing votes from all over the State, with the
exception of the South. He is one of the
most widely known men in California.
E. F. PRESTON.
San Francisco has two candidates. One
is Z. +. Preston, the lawyer. He, too, is a
young man, possessed of ample means and
popular in such organizations as the Union
League Club. He has never been an Office
seeker.
W. W. MORROW.
W. W. Morrow is the other. His princi-
pal support for the nomination Will come
from the merchants, who are advocating
his candidacy. Thus far he has not signl-
fed his willingness to accept, although
urged TO do so. He is the present congress-
man from the Fourth District
ELwooD COOPER.
Elwood Cooper of Santa Barbara is the
largest grower of olives in the State, and is
exceedingly popular with the fruil-growers.
With Markham out of the way he would
be strong in the South. His strength, how
ever, is not confined to one section.
Nd. RIDEOUE
n. d. Rideout of Sacramento may loom
up as dark horse. DE has no clearly de-
fined following, but in case of deadlock
would make good compromise candidate.
j. II. JEWETT.
j. II. Jewett OF Marysville occupies
similar position to that of Rldeout, and
nothing short of an accident would place
him at the head of the ticket.
L. U. sHIPPEE.
L. U. Sbippee of San Joaquin has great
many followers among the farmers, aud
his position in the State Agricultural So
ciety is aiding him in his candidacy. His
principal strength is in San Joaquin aid
| Sacramento counties.
GOVERNOR WATERMAN.
A list of the Republican candidates
would not be complete without the name of
Governor Waterman. There are many
shrewd politicians who regard him as still
in the race, and who are inclined to take
his reported withdrawal with very larg e
grain of allowance.
STEPHEN NJ. WHITE.
Turning to the Democratic side the first
name to suggest itself Is Stephen M. w hite
of Los Angeles. In spite of his reiterated
declarations that he would not accept the
nomination in any event, there are those
who believe that he will be forced to head
the ticket. They claim that as Democrat
he could not decline were the nomination
given him unanimously. Such thing, Of
course is possible.
MAYOR POND,
Mayor Pond is making quiet but effect
i've fight, and it is claimed that Buckley is
committed to his candidacy. In addition to
his strength in this city, he is regarded as
a strong man in the farming communities
JAMES V. COLEMAN.
James '. Coleman of San Mateo still
clings to the belief that he is in the fight.
His friends are urging his youth-he is
about ~ or 43-as an argument in his favor,
and it is understood that he will have the
support Of the Iroquois Clubs
A. C. PAULsELL-
A. c. Paulsen of San joaquin is develop
ing an unexpected strength. He is Mis-
sourian by birth and will attract that class
of voters all over the State. A large land
owner himself, he is strong with the farm
ers. He has served in the Legislature and
as Harbor Commissioner.
WILLIAM D. ENGLISH.
William d. English, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee is the
latest candidate in the field. BE is a
shrewd, practical politician and has many
friends in various sections of the State.
His strength is divided more. perhaps, than
that of any other candidate.
B. d. MURPHY.
B. D. Murphy of Santa Clara has more
personal friends, perhaps, than any OF his
rivals. Still a youag man, native of this
State, possessed of vast wealth and ability
of fair order he would draw strength to
him from all directions. He is a banker
and the owner of great deal of valuable
land.
JOHN BoGGs.
John Boggs of Colusa is another MissOu-
rian by birth, but has been in California
since 1919. He has held number of offices

terms in Congress from this State. His
friends are pushing his candidacy with
great vigor, but it is said that he will be
satisfied with second place.
FREDERICK cox.
Senator Fred Cox of Sacramento, who is
large cattle-raiser, is being urged for the
nomination, but his strength is not defined.
He has served the State as legislator and
his record is good.
n. GREENE CURTIS.
Sacramento has still another candidate in
n. Greene Curtis, Democrat OF the old
school, who has many supporters among
that class of voters and whose strength is
scattered throughout the State.
SENATOR JONES.
Senator Jones of Butte, who delivered
the address at the unwilling of the Mar
shall monument, is Native Son, and very
popular with that organization. He is
lawyer by profession, and while not rich,
could furnish sufficient of the sinews of
war 10 carry him through the fight He

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
There are not many men who care to lose
their identity in the office of Lieutenant
Governor and aspirants for that honor are
not as thick as the leaves in Valambrosa.
The choice will depend largely upon the
section from whence the gubernatOrial
candidate is taken, and il the North secures
the latter it may be regarded as a reason
able certainty that the former will go to
the South. The reverse is also true.
