The wisdom of the plan Of club organ
iZltion as laid down by the State commit
tee Is questioned by MANY Republicans.
They say that the. bitterness engendered
at the last primary will be stirred up
again by the giving OF the Teins into the
hands OF one man 10 each district In
many instances there are factions in tbs
districts, and IL is said that the side which
has not bee0 favored will rebel and start
anew the discords OF a few months ago.
The plan has also given rise to the sup
position that now that each district is TO
have a ntTal district club the primary
for the election Of delegates to the munich
conyentio will be replaced by cleo
tions by the Clubs. Secretary Burns Of
the State Central Committee said yester-
day that there was no ground for that as
sumption. The primary will take place as
originally intended
Some of the district workers are grOwl-
Ing because the chairman of the executive
committee has appointed menbe of the
State Central Committee to organize the
clubs instead of leaving the matter in the
hands Of county committeeman. . o at
headquarters however, these minor kicks
have no great weight. as the leaders think
that the small clouds will quickly blow
over, and that in a few weeks the party
craft will be sailing smoothly.
N. N. Estee will speak in the coliseum
in Oakland next Saturday night and on
the 21st inst he will address the kepubli-
cans Of Santa Rosa. No arrangements
have yet been agreed upon for his pro-
posed speech making tour Of the State.
Secretary R. P. Troy of the Democratic
State Central Committee returned yester-
day from Washington. D. c.. where he has
been for the past year. He went imme
diately over to Marin County to attend the
county convention which meets there to-
day.
The Democratic State convention which
will begin Its labOrs in this city on Tues
day. the DIST inst, is so close at hand that
the politicians of that faith !wili have to
move faster than they have been moving
if they would properly prepare for 1t. As
vet practically nothing has been done, ex-
cept to engage the Baldwin Theater as
meeting place, AS compared WITH the
Republican State organization the Demo
cratic Stale Committee has thus far shown
very little life. In fact il has been in
visible in this city. Max Pepper is the
chairman and he has been entirely occu-
pied with municipal affairs.
Nobody seems to have heard from the
interior. and so far as can be learned the
delegates from the various counties will
all be unknown quantities when they get
here. One week before the cOOYeniDg o [
the body the Democrats seem 10 be wholly
at sea as to who will be presented to the
convention for nomination for Governors /
to say nothing of the question of who Will
be actually nominated. a few names have
been mentioned, but so little accurate in
formation is at hand concerning the inten-
tons Of the men thus discussed that it is
I'M DfSSlOle TO predict results.
The action OF the general committee last
Saturday eight, when II passed resolution
indOrsng Judge Maguire's course and add
ing the significant rider that the party
would support him "fOr any position to
which he may, aspire" is construed as
meaning that the Congressman will be
offered something more alluring than q
renOmin alton for his-present position; and
carrying this inference farther. the predic.
ton is freely made that he will be placed
before the convention for nomination as
the head OF the ticket This boast Origi-
mated in the general committee from Andy
Clunle, whose brother, Thomas Clunie,
would like to 90 back to Washington In
Judge Maguire's place. General ClInie
has also been mentioned as the robable
presiding officer Of the convention.
Some Democrats still cling to the hope
that Judge jackson Temple may. be in
duced TO accept the nomination for Gov
ernor. They attach no Importance to- the /
objection raised that Judge Temple is in
eligible under the law concerning the can
didacy Of justices of the Supreme Court /
for other positions, Judge Temple being
Comm ssiOner of the court and not. Jus
tice. II is pretty we'll understood that
Judge Temple does not consider himself
ineligible, and his ardent friends draw
much consolation from that fact.
The POpulists will soon be actively en-
gagged on their State campaign. D. v.
Webster, the caDQlQaBe IuT 0OFoIuOIs VIII
speak tonight at Sacramento and to-mor-
row night at Woodland. On Thursday be
will address the Populists OF San Jose and
the next day he will leave Cd stunning /
tour OF the south, accompanied by Johp
S. Oore Of Fresno. T. V. Gator began;
series OF speeches TO be delivered in the
south at Los Angeles last Saturday night. /
Burdette Cornell of Stockton, candidate
for Congressman from the Second District,
Is already out, and others will follow.
At the POpDlist State headquarters In
this city5itis reported that news from the
country IS very favorable to the cause, but
among Republicans and Democrats it IS
thought that the Populists lave lost
ground during the past two weeks.
l. ne county convention of the Peoples
party Will resume its labors tonight at
Scottish Hall and candidates will be pre-
sented for nomination for Mayor The
open fighting IS now between Adolph
Sutro and Or. G. G. ODornell. There is
strong opposition to both of these and
dark horse is among the probabilities.
The convention will not be Iikely to de-
liver itself of this nomination at to-nIghts
session..
