THE OFFICERS AND NOMINEES,

The party interest in the Republican
primary in both the Fourth and Fifth dis
tricts to-day is deep and keen, and a
heavy vote is promised.
The interest and activity that are dis
played in every district are proof of the
high spirit, confidence and vim with
which the Republicans here are entering
on momentous Presidential campaign,
for the election to-day concerns solely the
selection of the eighteen delegates who
will represent California in the National
Convention at st. Louis.
To represent the party in the work that
is to shape it's destinies is a worthy ambi-
ton, and one that is felt by many men,
bers of the party. Some wish the honor
for themselves, m ore are deeply interested
in seeing Republican clubs to which they
belong represented in the State conven-
tion, and others are backing their friends
for the honorable goal.
Out of this and this only has grown the
rivalry in some Of the districts which will
result in opposing tickets being in the
field to-day. In a great majority of the
districts all elements have agreed upon
one ticket. men and organizations of large
district influence being given the
privilege of naming one or more of the
lew WHO Will IDlhG up tue ueIeEdIlOn.
In four or five districts rival tickets are
apt to be voted to-day, and these districts
will be especially lively between the hours
of and P. NJ. to-day.
There is seldom a trace of bitterness III
these contests, however.
They are rivalries that will not endure
when the later issues come to the front,
named a Presidential candidate, and all
Republicans are out whooping for him to-
gether.
The contests of to-day are one result of
the policy pursued by John D. Spreckels
and the Republican County Committee.
Mr.. Spreckels has riser above the petty
tricks of scheming bosses and instituted a
party regime of fairness, equality and
honesty.
More than that, he has favored district
home rule, and has left district affairs to
be settled by the voters of the districts, in
terfering only in the way of endeavoring
to produce harmony.
The County Committee has pursued the
same policy, and so any existing issues
viii be settled ia irly and squarely at the
polls to-day. The nominees who get the
most votes will go to Sacramento.
Yesterday the contests that seemed
likely to occur in the Thirty-fifth and
Thirty-sixth districts were settled
There is a likelihood that two tickets
u,
Thirty-fourth, Thirty-seventh, Fortieth
and Thirty ninth districts. In the Thirty
fourth Dawson Nichols is leading an on
position, and in the Thrty-ninth there is
opposition to the regular ticket from the
district club.
Leon Dennery, whose seat was declared
vacant in the County Committee on ac-
count of non-residence, will hold primary
of his own in that district to-day.

tion officers and nominees in the various
