The Prohibition Ticket and
Other Matters Of Interest.
Governor Waterman Says "Things
are Badly Mixed in San Diego"
The Democratic Candidates out Making
Most Vigorous Fight for the Vic
tory Next Month.


registry clerks recently appointed are
hustling the names in. 1t is to be
hoped that every Democratic voter in the
county will get on the list before it
closes. The party will need all its
strength, and with that strength it has a
lively hope Of winning. 1t has
been decided to disregard the
agreement made by the central commit
tee CT the two parties to stop regis
tration next Saturday night, but to go
right on with the work until sundown
next Monday, the goth. Democratic
clubs will please "get on" to this, and
push things until the last moment of
time allowed them to register voters.
Governor r. w. Waterman is in the
city. He is at the Nadeau. A HERALD
man met him on Second street yesterday
forenoon. The governor says things are
badly mixed in San Bernardino and San
Diego. This means things political. He
says there will be great deal of scratch
ing done on the Republican ticket. He
thinks Markham will not poll so very
large vote as he and his friends count
on.
In San Diego and San Bernardino they
are not making new register, but
merely printing supplements to the old
one. In San Diego the supplement will
contain 1900 names and upwards. But
the vote will not be so large as two years
ago, for the reason that 5000 voters are
estimated to have left the county. In
San Bernardino there will be nearly as
many new voters enrolled, and out there
there has not been much falling off
from the old list.
In the San Joaquin valley there is a
big increase in the voting population.
Fresno is making supplement, on
which more than 5000 new names are
gwen.
Senator John Wolfskill, of Buenos
Ayres, was in the city yesterday. He
was a senator for the Joint district of
San Diego and San Bernardino counties
in 1882, and made most valuable legis-
later. He is man OF rare experience,
and of fine judgment.
l.. M. Order and Ed. D. Gibson are
making blooded canvass of the county
for the offices of recorder and sheriff.
All the, Democratic candidates are out
doing good work. The. central
committee should at once-not
next week, but today-get up a
big programme OF meetings to
cover the entire county going into every
precinct in it with the candidates, hold
ing meetings, hearing speeches and can
wasting the votes. A blooded fight will
win; but there must be fight.
There is great deal of dissatisfaction
in the Republican ranks. There are
100 Republicans out making a quiet
fight for Order to defeat Kelly and there
are twice as many electioneering for Glib
son to defeat Aguirre. At the same time
there are lot of men working for the
Republicans, and only an earnest fight
will win for us.
Things are pretty close in Orange
county. Two years ago as part of Los
Angeles county that district gave Re-
publican majority of nearly 400. This
year the Republicans who talk sense
say there is far less than 200 votes in
their favor.
Jos. w. Rea, Republican candidate
for railroad commissioner, is in the city
looking after his fences. They are all
on the ground, laid low by the able hand
of Judge Archer, the Democratic NOM
inee who was here last week,
The Times yesterday said there are in
the city 200 of those base creatures who
live off of the earnings OF unfortunate
women. ''That," said one of the dis
,gusted Republicans, lis nice comment
on the rule of our party in this city.
When the Democrats were in power
the Times made great Cry
about this matter, and claimed
that if its people were in power, this
state of affairs could not exist. When
the Democrats went out of power, there
were very few of these people about
When Frank Burns went there were
hardly any of them. Now there are zoe
of the creatures, and they are impudent
to degree. 1t is said some of them rep.
resented the Republican party in the
recent conventions, and if the rumors
are true large percentage of these zoe
are deputy constables under Republican
appointment. Our party is in bad
fix" said the disgruntled, and passed
on.
A Prohibition leader of this city says
there is rank treason in the party ranks
He claims some Republican stool-pig
cons have got in there to play ducks and
brakes with their organization. He
at the county convention:
voted not to make nominations for su.
perior judges, but to refer the matter te
the county central committee, with the
request that they make no nominations
but wait until after the other nomins
tions are made, and then select from the
list the six best qualified and print
their names on our ballots, provided
that number of suitable candidates bt
nominated"
Now, he says, some one has got in
with the endorsement racket go as tt
make the nominees appear disguised
The whole thing he thinks is done ii
favor of Stanford's legislative ticket, SC
as to return the railroad millionaire tt
the senate.
