JAMES V. COLEMAN.
A DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
THE GOvERNORSHIP.
tics-The Strong Position of the Dem
ocracy-White's Candidacy.

James V. Coleman, of San Francisco,
the grand sachem of the Iroquois Clubs
of the state, and candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor, is in
the city stopping at the Nadeau. He is
accompanied by the Hon. James T.
Murphy, of San Jose. They arrived in
the city Friday, but as the evening was
spent visiting with friends, Mr.. Coleman
was not seen by HERALD reporter until
yesterday. He was found in his room at
ted very gracefully to the operation of
being interviewed. Mr.. Coleman is a
good-looking young man, apparently
about 30 years of age, frank and easy of
speech, with the hospitabe manner of
gentleman and a good Democrat. A
casual observer would decide unhesitat-
ingly that he possessed all the elements
of solid popularity.
''How did you enjoy your European
trip ?''
Every well. spent most of the winter
in the Riviera. The season happened
to be very pleasant one, and we found
most of the places which we visited we'll
filled with tourists. l travelled with my
mother, who was in search of better
health. l have been back on the coast
now about MONTH"
"What do you think of the political
outlook 2"
''It seems to me that the situation
could hardly be better for Democratic
success. Difficulties and misunderstand-
ings which have been prevailing all over
the state among our people seem to be
completely healed up and the very best
spirit seems to prevail. The rows are
all in the other camp and there are
plenty OF them there. think the gen.
eral impression among the Republicans
is that the mistakes of the administra-
tion are going to make the campaign of
this summer an uphill job. If that
were not enough of a handicap they are
likely to accumulate plenty more diff
culties right here in the state"
"Who is most talked of in the north
ern part of the state as Republican NOM
I inee for governor?"
"a short time ago Colonel Markham
seemed to have the head place in the
estimation of Republicans, but notice
! Of late that Representative Morrow Is
name is being often substituted for his.
1t is too long before the convention to
hazard much of guess, but it seems tc
me that the current is running in Nor.
rows favor. He is good man and will
make a strong nominee"
"What do you think of Stephen M
White for senator?"
81 think it is an admirable nomina.
ton, and one that will in advance con-
tribute a decided element of strength
to our side of the fight. You hold
White in high estimation here in the
south, but there is nothing To-
cal about his reputation. He is
known and admired all over the state
Ii he should be chosen to represent III
in the United States senate he would bt
credit to California and cause of JUS
pride to the party that sent him there
From the attitude of the Democracy in the
northern part of the state, think Whit,
will be enabled to make strong and 6
winning fight"
"Well, am very much encouraged b,
the outlook. The contest, 1 imagine
will be between Mayor Pond and myself
He is a man whom l hold in high re
gard. Since | have entered the field
have made the pleasing discovery that
have great many excellent friends al
over the state, many of them in local.
ties where thought was hardly known
l am of course in the hands of my friend
and cannot complain of the kind treat
ment which they seem disposed to Civ
me-"
In answer to other questions Mr.. Cole
man said that he had travelled abou
some in the northern and central portion
of the state and during his visit he woulc
become as well acquainted with Los An
geles and the surrounding country a
was possible in so short visit. Tomor
row he expects to 60 to San Francisco.
