Dor Commissioner Dan T. Cole was
among the number. There was quite a
tug for the support of Judge Waymire,
but the efforts of Shortridge, Rae, Trum-
DO and Kowalsky were not sufficiently
strong to pull him away from Perkins.
Waymire wanted a resolution'indorsing
him for q cabinet position passed by
the caucus, but the request of his
friends in this respect was not granted.
When this became known to the lobby
q rumor went out that the Alameda man
had Withdrawn, but Waymire stuck to
his promise and voted for Perkins.
Following is list of those who went
into the caucus:
Senators-Androus, Aram Beard,
Boyce, Bulla, Denison, Dickinson, Flint,

der, Luchsinger, Pedar, Shine, Shippee,

reasons are urged for his reelection
First, his term has been short by rea-
son of the fact that the meeting Is
much earlier than usual, and second,
that General DOnahOe has made an eX-
ccllont commander, bringing the or
ganiZation up to the highest standard IL
has ever enjoyed.
Among the many excellent things
