SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10.-Fartisans
of Senator Perkins now claim a victory
for him Tuesday on the first ballot for
United States senator. The illness of
Assemblymen Moultrie, Shanahan and
Burnett will reduce the number neces-
sary to choice from sixty-one to less
than sixty, and as sixty members are
bound by their caucus pledges there
seems little rea son to doubt that the
CLAIMS are correct Even if Mesers. Bur-
nett and Shanahan should recover suf-
ficiently to be present. the absence Of
Moultrie seems at this time unavoidable.
ON THE GROUND.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10.-The law
makers who left the capital on Friday
are returning in twos and threes, but
many OF them have taken advantage of
their vacation 20 the full limit, and will
not come back urtil tomorrow morning.
The principals in the senatorial fight are
again on the ground, ard it is expected
that there will be a great gathering of
the clans tomorrow, when the preside n
uai electors will arrive and decide upon
the man who is to carry their votes TO
Colonel Jackson, one of Perkins man
ayers, stated tonight that additions
were coming into PERKINS camp; that
there were seven more assemblymen on
the roll anGi that the fight for United
States senator will be won on the first
ballot.
I'VE do not wish to give the names of
those who have come over to u.s. said
the colonel, but we viii have three out
of the four Republicans from the Santa
Clara delegation, and if Harry More
house can be released from his promise
to nominate Mr. Shortridge he too, VIII
cast his vote for Perkins"
Charles NJ. Shortridse pooh poohed
this statement, and said that Colonel
Jackson had always been good claimer.
He said that the Santa Clara delegation
was solid, for Shortridge, and brought
Assemblyman Arnerich to bear out his
statement.
Speaking for myself" said Arnerich,
II am for Samuel Shortridge, first, last
and all the time
The first ballot for United States SEN
ator will be taken at noon on Tuesday
in both houses, and it will require a ma
jority of each to settle the question. If
a joint ballot be taken. to elect it will
need a majority of those present and
voting. Moultrie, the fusion assembly
man from Fresno, Will not be able to be
in his seat in consequence of his illness.
His absence will mean one vote less to
obtain a majority.
