OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
90S Broadway, Aug. II.
The Republican County Central Com
mittee will meet Wednesday to canvass
the returns of the recent primary and to
fix a date for the meeting at which a cal
viii be issued for the primary for the
county convention. There will be no con-
fict of authority over the call, as every
thing wall be exclusively in the power OF
the County Committee, and it will name
the polling places and election officers
without consulting any outside body.
The County Committee rooms were de-
serted to-day. The odor of political cigars
filed the air; from numerous spittoons
microbes innumerable foated upward; in
a corner was a broken ballot-box, and
everything looked as though the place had
been deserted for months. There was
nothing to indicate that for some weeks
the quarters have been crowded with
excitable politicians, who laid plans and
counter-plans with as much earnestness as
though a nation were at stake.
There are not many offices to be filed,
but there are many people anxious to I'LL
them. The list of plums is as follows;
Three Supervisors.
Seven Assem- blymen.
One Senator.
Two Superior Judges.
The retiring Supervisors are Pelouze,
Johnston and Bailey. The men who think
they can attend to Mr.. Pelouze's district
better than he has done are: W. w.
Knickerbocker, ex-Committeeman Mitch
ell, J. league, W. J. Schmidt and Mr..
Moran. This contest will be hard one, as
Pelouze is anxious TO hold his job, and his
81 10
assessment embroglio will be remem bered.
This district embraces the railroad quar-
tiers in the First Ward. Nobody will have
walk over, for if Pelouze gets the Repub-
lican nomination Friend will probably run
INDEPENDENT
]. E. Johnston is not aYerse to serving
the county another term, but he has a
strong competitor in w. II. Friend. the
leading spirit in the new Congressional
committee and who was hard worker for
Hillborn, and who will receive much sup
port. w. G. Mason and ex-Supervisor D.
o. Brown are also in the fight to succeed
Johnston, so a lively primary in that dis
tllcJ Is assured. The third Supervisor to
be retired IS Bailey of Liyermore. The
country district has so long been consid-
cred his bailiwick that any one who should
try to Dust Bailey would be considered
foolhardy a few months ago. But now
things have changed and II. Crowell OF
lrYlngton ana L. w. Harris or PIeaSantOn
and several others are anxious TO break the
routine and give Mr., Bailey chance to
rest Considerable opposition TO Bailey
has recently been shown among the farm
ers of Murray and Washington townships
and Bailey will have to fight hard to win.
In the Forty ninth Assembly District
some of the wouId-be legislators already
have their cards out. John Mott, W. S.
Jones, Jim Rock, one-armed Charlie Hall
and Taylor of Berkeley are candidates,
and "Brocky Dan" Mullins would also
like to go to Sacramento. The remaining
five districts sre quiet as yet, although h.
H. North may try to succeed himself.
Senator Eli Denison and J. L. Baird
hold over, and a successor to Guy G. Earl
is to be elected. So far it looks as if Fred
S. Stratton will receive the nomination.
Judge Greene would like to succeed him
self on the Superior bench, and Judge
Frick will retire. Sam P. Hall, w. Lair
Hill, George w. Langan of Livermore and
H. B. NJ. Miller would each like to fill one
o f the vacancies. with others yet to hear
from. There will certainly be two tickets
in each district at the county primary,
and the lines will be much the same as at
Saturdays contest.
