THE eyer-alert Hon ThOmasJ. Clunie |

THE ever-alert Hon Thomas j. Clunie
seems to have been the only man in the
country who knew nothing about the
senatorial fight that Hon. Stephen M
White inaugurated in this state over
three months ago. He says he was not
aware until two weeks since, that an eff
fort would be made at the State Demo
cratic convention, to name man for U.
S. Senator. This is indeed strange. 1t
is over month ago that the Exam
liner carpingly criticized the movement
in favor of Mr.. White, and took the po-
sition that there were other Democrats
worthy of senatorial recognition, and
suggested that Mr.. Clunie had right to
be heard. Surely this quasi
of Mr.. Clunie for so exalted a position
must have reached him. Mr.. Clunie
has come out here suddenly whilst con-
gress is in session. There must be some
very moving reason to have caused a
congressman of Mr.. Clunie's devotion to
duty, to drop his important work, to
make pilgrimage to San Jose at this
particular juncture. Willie contest the
field with Mr.. White, or is it his inten-
ton to prevent the expression of pre-
ference for the U. S. Senate by the Dem
Ocratic State convention?

THE FARMERS HELPING THEMSELVES

The farmers and fruit-growers OF this
county are now in the preliminary steps
OF most important movement. The
object of this is in general terms to or
ganize for their mutual protection and
advancement. In these days, all de-
ponds on organization. Without COM
bination nothing of Importance can be
effected. The farmers, not only of this
section, but those of all sections of the
country, have suffered in all their inter-
ests, time out of mind by lack of organ
lied power, to deal with such matters
as might come up for action.
A few years ago in this city the value
of combined effort was admirably illus
trated. The market for the orange crop
had been in most unsatisfactory state.
Some years prices were very high and
all the crop found ready sale. The next
year the dealers were certain to rush in
and buy up the oranges on the trees at
high prices; but often there was not
8 market for the fruit abroad, and while
the growers were secure the dealers lost
money. The dread of the burned
child for fire is nothing compared to
that of the merchant who has lost
money. Thus there would follow two

WHITES WAR.
He Outlines His Views-Clunie Behind
the Times.

''What l propose is simply that the
state convention shall name man for
senator, just as a national convention
dominates president. 1t is popular
Democratic doctrine that the United
States senators shall be elected directly
by the people, and this plan would
accomplish this result as near as any
plan could under our constitution.
Under this plan the members of
the Legislature would occupy pre-
cisely the same relation to
the election OF a United States senator
as presidential electors now do in the
election OF President. The constitution
says that the presidential electors shall
choose the President, but the people all
well know that the presidential electors
will vote for no one but the nominee of
the party. So with the United States
senator. The people of the state in
voting for members Of the legislature
would know beforehand who would be
the party choice for senator and their
votes would be governed accordingly.
cit would remove from the senatorial
election all of those Interior influences
SO corrupting to legislators. Members
of the assembly would be bound to vote
for the party nominee because the peo-
pie in voting for them have already in
Dictated their choice. The restraint
upon a bad election by the party con-
vention will be the same restraint that
operates against all bad nominations
the danger that the people will reject
1t at the polls. My proposition is not
that the convention shall endorse me
for senator. 1t is that the convention
shall name some one man. whether it
be myself or some other person, whom
the convention may decide upon"
The short, stocky form of Stephen M.
White moved briskly among the dele
gates at the Palace hotel yesterday.
He would draw a delegate to one side,
talk to him earnestly a few minutes.
and then pass on to another. A look
into his face at once convinces the
beholder that he is not man to back
down.
Already the main conflict has been
preceded by a slight encounter. The
opponents of Whites schemes tele-
graphed for Congressman Clunie. who
arrived on the ground Thursday. The
same night he met White in the Lick
house, and protested against his pro iect
in the most vigorous language.
Il only heard of this proposition two
weeks ago." said Mr.. Clunie, " and | at
once made preparations for coming here
and asking you to go no further in it."
If you have known of it but two weeks
ago." replied White, "you have been
alone in your ignorance. All the rest OF
the State have been discussing it for
three months. 1 cannot turn back in
this movement. Ihave been advocating
1t long time. 1 shall continue to do
500
The two rivals bowed politely to each
other and turned their backs.
