full blast and Alameda County seems to
be taking a prominent part in it, since she
is furnishing two candidates for the po-
stion.

just now to be in the lead for he place.
His opponents. are Assem- blyman Lynch
of San Bernardino County and Assembly
man-eect Waymire of Alameda, who will
represent the Forty-seventh District
Mr.. Dodge made an anti-mOnopoly cam
paign and on that issue received hand
some vote. He was in the last Legislature
and accordingly has sufficient parliament
airy practice for the position, and nearly
every Republican who has been returned
10 the Legislature will vote for him for
Speaker. He has made a thorough can
vass and feels confident that he will be
elected.
1t is stated that the San Bernardino man
is a corporationist and is being pushed by
the railroad company, and that In order 10
help lis man the railroad is pushing for
ward Waymre TO weaken Dodge, for whom it
has no use.
An Oakland politician said yesterday, IN
speaking of the matter: dodge Is surely The
best man for the people, and while DO not
Know Lynch. l hear The railroad is for him.
Why, certain person seeking subordinate
position al Sacramento went 10 Mr.. Mills, the
Southern Pacific land agent at Fourth and
Townsend streets. the other day and asked him
for his AID. He told he Oaklander that The
railroad company was making no fight for
places IN Sacramento outside Of the SPEAKER
ship, and that for this position It was for
Lynch. AS for Waymire's candidacy, while lie
is good man. there Is no mention OF him out
side OF certain circle. He has not previously
been in the Legislature, and while he has
ability, he has not bad the parliamentary ex-
perience 10 handle such body"

Annexation of TemescaI.
lie CONSENSUS Oh OnlufOn among tue people
OF TeInescal is favorable TO the annexation of
that town 10 Oakland. The resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Dalton atsthe last Council meet
ing na0 this annexation scheme IN view, and a
number of Temescai people have made public
their ideas on The subject. II is understood
that not only Temescal, but Golden Gate,
reralta Claremont, Piedmont and Frutvale
are all DESTROYS of coming IN.
Speaking on the subject. j. E. McElrath OF
Temescal said
Il have always been in favor of annexation,
and still heartily favor of If. The npOpln
OF Temescai are tired and disguised with the
lack of sewers and any sanitary regulations.
As far as L know there is no opposition from
any source except the saloon, ROADSIDE inn
keepers, who settled in this vicinity when the
license was raised IN Oakland. They will fight
hard TO have a place TO conduct their game.
The question which will be the only possible
splitting point is that OF boundary TO the pro-
posed annexed district. The creek is the
natural boundary line, but Berkeley does
not want any more territory, it Will be neces-
sary TO 60 10 her line 10 drive out the wayside
houses. College way would be good eastern
boundary line, from the intersection of the
Berkeley town line.
