PASADENA.

always had the reputation OF not being
bashiul when it comes TO wanting Offices,
and it is but fair to say that for little
place che has been very successful In
getting what she asks for. From pres
emit appearances the coming state and
county campaign will prove no excep-
ton to the rule, and indeed, If anything,
Pasadena will furnish more than the
usual number OF ssoirants for official
honor, not to mention salary.
The list. 80 far az compiled, includes
two candidates for governor, two for
congress, one for the state senate, one
for the asse mbly, one for county treas
nrer, two Tor supervisor, enc for sheriff,
and still more to follow.
For congress we have two prominent
candidates, ex-Gov. L. A. Sheldon and
James McLachlan, ex-district attorney.
both Of whom are making q strong pull
for the place. It lie also understood hat
Governor Sheldon would not object to
nomination for governor, in which case
this end Of the field would be left open
for McLachlan.
Captain Simpson 10 out as candidate
for the senate, while Benjamin Hahn
has duly announced that he will accept
nomination for the assembly II forced
upon him by the Republicans Of this
section.
For county treasurer, the name of T.
p. Lukens, president OF the Pasadena
National bank, has been mentioned,
and il is probable that he will be in
duced to come before the convention for
nomination.
G. @. Brown and Mr.. Woodward are
willing to serve the people as super
visors II the positions are offered them,
while ]. 8. Slater ia mentioned as q
prominent candidate for sheriff.
This is not by any means full list of
the officers which Pasadena is willing
to furnish for the public good. Between
now and the convention there will
without doubt be large increase in the
list The HERALD will see that its
readers are kept fully posted as to the
new aspirants as they may turn up from
time to time.
