Campaign.

SAN BERNANpINo, Nov. 3.-The po-
litical situation as election approaches
is becoming more animated. The Re-
publican majority is estimated at be.
tween 400 and 500. but, notwithstsud
ing, q number of candidates will be
elected on the Democratic ticket. There
is no question but that Miss Maggie
Mogeau, Democratic and Populist NOM
inee for superintendent OF schools, will
defeat her adversary. Mr.. Beatty. who
. has held the Office for the past two
| years. Miss Mogeau is tho fret woman
ever nominated on any ticket in this
county, and besides being thoroughly
qualified to fill the duties OF the office
she aspires TO, is a modest, unaseuming
J woman, commanding the respect of
every voter in the county,. DR.. Booth,
| incumbent in the sheriff's Office, will
probably be reelected, and George d.
Call. candidate for district attorney,
stands good chance of defeating his
opponent. The Democratic party is
making q hard and successful fight this
year and have put up the best men pos
sible.
| An innovation was insuguratsd today
when the women balloted. Some two
weeks ago they selected ticket in con-
vention, and today, at the corner of d
and Fourth streets, they held their
polls. OF course there was only one
ticket and no scratching. Up to noon
some Is women OF the city had regis-
tered a vote, and from all Indications.
when the polls close tonight, not near q
hundred votes will be cast. The women
-, - - hn
Judges were Mrs. M. Nj. Thompson and
Mrs. Eliza M. Sallinger. The ladies had
no use for inspectors or clerks. The
balloting room was decorated with rare
bouquets and picture of Frances Will
lard on an easel.
George Burt, an employee OF toe
Southern California company in this
city, who was hurt in the roundhouse
here q few days since, died this after

Stewart hotel.
G. A. Gunter died at the Sisters hos
pital at 4 IA this morning. He has re-
Gently been a merchant at Bagdad, this
