SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-When the
Democratic state central committee
meets on June I'd they viii be called
upon to choose q successor to the Hon.
Max Pepper, who will At that time
present his resignation as chairman of
that body. Mr.. Pepper has had this
matter in ontemplstion ever since his
election IS the chairman OF the county
committee of this city and county, ss he
feels that he has assumed too much in
the management Of both bodies. He
has not had the opportunity to present
his resignation before, as the state
committee has not met since his cleo
ton as leader of the local Democracy.
Mr.. Pepper has made an able and popu-
lar chairman, and the psrty will be
10th to lose his valuable services; but he
has determined upon this plan and will
carry it out. This 10 the first intima-
ton in the press of Mr.. Peppers inten.
ton, and therefore is known by very
few persons, so that the selection OF q
new chairman has net brought forth any
candidates.
The meeting OF the Democratic state
central committee will be held in this
city June I'd. At that time place to
hold the convention will be selected.
As with the case of the Republicans.
Santa Cruz is making a determined
fight to capture the convention, with all
likelihood of succeeding. A better place
could hardly be decided upon, as the
convention will certainly net be held
until August, which is one of the pleas
ATTEST months of the year at the beach,
while in San Francisco the weather is OF
the disagreeable kind, being hot and
windy. Neither will there be any at
fractions here then, as the fair will close
in July. Santa Cruz is amply able to
accommodate the crowds OF politicians
who will be in attendance OF the con-
vention and business will be more
easily expedited there than in this city,
as the delegates will not have an oppor-
tunity TO forget their duties in their
search for pleasure.
Chairman Pepper 10 DESTROYS of hav-
fng a full attendance OF delegates, and,
furthermore, hopes that the Democracy
throughout the state will attend and
lend their aid in making the convention
q monster one, thereby arousing enthu-
siasm for the good of the cause.

One of the most voluble mem bers on
the floor at the recent meeting of the
Republican state central committee was
a tall, gaunt individual known as Judge
Rose OF Pasadena. He made a brave
but losing fight for Santa Cruz. He was
on the floor at all times, and not ques-
ton came up but he had an idea in regard
to it, which he wanted the whole con-
vention to know all about. AS q
stranger he attracted considerable at
tention by his promiscuoasnese, and
Chairman Myers, becoming curious him
self. looked up the judges credentials
to lo~ru 5vn4vti-:--s La-y-.1
possible. He was rather eur
prised, however, to see that they
were signed by Walter S. Moore as chair
man, and being at q loss to know what
he (Moore) was chairman OF, and not
desiring to wound his feelings by ques-
tioning him, he called up Ed Niles and
put the query to him. The latter read
the judges credentials, and seeing the
signature OF Moore as chairman, told
Mr.. Myers that the only thing Moore
was chairman Of ia what is known In
Los Angeles as the Get away club"
Mr.. Myers knows no more now than he
did before, but Judge Rose has the sat-
isfaction of having had his little say 80,
regardless of the fact that he had never
been duly elected committeeman.

Policeman Sam Dugan of Los Angeles
having, by his meritorious conduct,
earned vacation. took some of his hard
earned savings and came to ban Fran
cisco to recuperate and enjoy life as only
Sam knows how. The first thing he did
upon his arrival was to call upon an in
innate friend-the next to telegraph his
better half that he had arrived SAFE
Being otherwise engaged while at the
telegraph Office he requested his friend
to write tho dispatch, which he
did by getting in the customary
10 words: When Sam saw the
message he became very wrathy, saying
that he had no money to throw at the
birds. and that two words would be all
he would pay for. The matter being
explained to him he was satisfied, and
as the operator laughingly took the
message he remarked: when Lou
gets that telegram she'll know by the
handwriting you wrote it"
Sans experiences while here have
for the most parS been of q similar ma
ture, and when he returns home he says
that he will interview himself in one OF
the dailies, a Ia Marion Brooks.

Secretary of the Navy Herbert is here
in the interest of his department. A
few days since he visited the Mare
Island navy yard and while there, it is
to be hoped that he became cos infant of
the fact of the 700 laborers employed by
Uncle Sam but 100 of them are DeEo-
Gratis, and of the 10 foremeu only 8
helped to bring about the victory for the
administration.

The politicians from the south are
here by the score and may be seen at
any hour of the day or night making
and breaking states at Tom Shaw's,
which place seems to be their head
quarters.
Ralph Lockhart is back here from the
south after an absence of several months.
