calls on him to make popular canvass
of the state, then it will be the right
thing for him to do.
GEORGE HANsoN-Although a republi-
can, do not know any man l would
prefer before White for the place
GEN. E. BoUroN-If the choice is to
fall on democrat, then l think he is
the best man in the state. He has all
the qualifications for the office, and the
benefits to accrue to this end of the
state from his presence in the senate
would be great. l do not mean he
would do any act at all prejudicial to
any interest of any part of the state.
j.. De BARTH SHoRB-I think that
Mr.. White has every qualification
for the office. To make personal can
vass of the state is step in the right
direction toward a very necessary reform
at this time. 1t will educate the country
towards electing the senators by direct
vote, and that is what ought to be done
now. Whatever reason may have
existed for the present method of choos-
ing the senators has passed away.
HENRY T. GAGE-He is a man of I'M
doubtedly great ability and of the high
est integrity. He is, too, man of great
physical and moral courage. He has all
the qualifications for senator-except-
ing that, of course, think he is in the
wrong party.
JOIN F. HUMPHREYs-I surely think
he has the ability to fill the place with
great credit and benefit to the state. He
is the most representative man in the
state and capable of doing the state
mora good than any other man we could
send to Washington. / believe he will
go there in the interest of all parts of
the state, and we all know he will have
no other interest of any private or cor
porate nature to subserve. The people
will uphold him in his race.
H. JEvNE-I am hardly a democrat,
but l think Mr.. White is thoroughly
qualified for the place, or for any place
in the gilt If the people.
GENERAL E. E. HEWITT division
Superintendent of the Southern Pacific
i do not think it good politics for Mr..
White to take part in the campaign as
acknowledged candidate for senator. 1t
would be better policy, in my opinion,
for him to assist the party as much as
possible, and then, if the legislature is
democratic, to go before it as a can
didate. l do not want to see the rail-
road question brought up in the cam

not have a man in the senate who would
represent our interests better. He is a
strong man, honorable and high-minded.
J. A. MUIR (the Assistant Division Sup
erintendent of the Southern Pacifc)-I
legislature, better man than White
would be hard to find. He would prove
an admirable representative.
,pr,,N wv p,Dur,rr with raoo Nd
to whether it is best for White to come
| am undecided. | should like very
much to see him in the United States
senate, however, He is man OF splen-
did reputation, held in high regard
wherever he is known, and his name is
already well known all over the country
M. L. WICKs-I like the idea of hay
ing Mr.. White go before the people as a
candidate. 1t tends to popularize the
office, which is movement in the right
direction. Stephen M. White will be a
strong candidate with good prospect of
success.
ABBOTT KINNEY-All over the country
there is strong and growing feeling
in favor of the election of United States
senators by popular vote. For Mr..
White to come out in advance as can
didate, and go before the people in the
campaign, will be right in accordance
with this movement. hope he will do
it. He is the best candidate we could
possibly have-a young man, strong
man and man of the people. Ii he
accepts we may look for red hot fight
and one where success will give us un-
limited satisfaction.
Hermann SILVER (Receiver for the Los
Angeles and Pacifc)-I regard White as
an excellent man, worthy of any honor
which may be bestowed upon him. If
the legislature is democratic certainly it
could not do better than to send him to
Washington.
w. E. HUGHES chairman OF the
Chamber of Commerce Committee on
Manufactures)-I am a fervent admirer
of Mr.. White. He is a young man, a
brilliant speaker, clear-headed thinker
and business man, and above all a man
with a sterling sense of honor l be-
lieve he will draw republican votes,
besides getting the full strength of his
own party. l like the idea of having
him come out in advance as candidate
for the position. 1t is no compromise to
the dignity of the position, and it brings
the office nearer to the people.
j. B. LANKERsHIM-In every position
where Stephen M. White has been
placed during his political career he has
done honor to the people he represented
and the party responsible for his cleo
ton. He is a thoroughly good man. |
would have been glad to have seen him
nominated for governor. If that is out
of the question then hope he will 90 to
the United States senate.
MAJOR E. w. JoNEs-I am a republi-
can, and of course do not wish to see a
democrat elected to the senate. If one
is to go, however, it would be hard to
find a better one than Stephen M .
White. II, by any chance, he should be
elected, | could not bring myself to re-
gard it as very much of misfortune.
S. M. PAYToN-White is an excellent
man and will make fine representative
for California in the United States SEN
ate. The state needs young, active, en-
ergetic men who will look out for it's in
terests. l think the principle of having
the senatorial candidate go before the
people is very good one. | should like
to see it carried out in this case.
III. w. PATTON (First Vice-president of
the Iroquois Club)-I think if Mr.. White
will consent to be known as candidate
for United States senator, he will sue
ceed in carrying majority of the as
semblymen and state senators in South
