nation.
The Old Municipal Leagues Position
Is One of Patient
Waiting.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,l
L.,

90o Broadway, Jan. IL.
The Republican City Convention will
assemble at Elite Hall tomorrow night,
and no convention for six years has been
so surrounded with interest.
The last two biennial municipal cam
paigns have been carried on to a certain
extent along party lines, but the powerful
Municipal League has really named the
successful ticket. Owing to the peculiar
arrangement by which the present dele
gates are named the strength of the league
is now embodied in the regular Repub-
lican party, and the opposing element
does not yet see where it is TO land.
The position OF Mayor Davie is of much
interest at this time. He has declared his
intention of being candidate to succeed
himself, but he cannot say on what ticket
he will be found.
Davies standing is unusual. He was
nominated by Populists two years ago,
but he cannot be called Populist at this
time, although he is probably no less
strong politically than formerly, but his
strength is from. different quarters. In
view of the developments OF the water
front question, for the recovery of which
Davie laid the foundation four years ago,
he should be an ceptionaIly strong can
didate at this time.
The doubt existing over the nomination
that will be rendered Auditor Snow will
not be cleared up until the convention
meets. Should he not be nominated for
Mayor he will almost certainly be placed
in line to succeed himself
There are so many candidates for every
place that there will certainly be several
independent candidates. They will pro-
tect themselves from being designated
boilers by declining to admit that they
approve of the appointment OF delegates,
instead OF electing them.
1t is very evident that the great mass OF
voters are taking little interest in the party
designations of tickets, and it is plain that
when all the nominations are made every
body will make his own choice.
In the absence Of any primary law little
is being said about the matter. 1t is gen
orally recognized that without law a
primary is simply a farce, and even those
who fought so hard for it now express an
unwillingness to bear the expense.

BISHOP NBWMAN'S ADDRESS.
He Speaks Before Large Audience il
the University Town.

He Speaks Before Large Audience in
the University Town.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 17.-Bishop J..
P. Newman preached a stirring sermon at
Trinity Methodist Church this morning to
large audience, among which there was
an appreciable number from the other
churches of Berkeley. as well as from the
university faculty. The topic of his dis
course was THE Philosophy and Blessed
ness of Christian Experience" and was
based upon the words found IN John
iii:11: I'VE speak that we do know and
testify that we have seen."
In the treatment of his subject he drew
inferences from the material world to
guide him in reaching conclusions as TO
things spiritual. His address was elabor-
ated with copious reference to science,
philosophy and history. he said that as
our senses and intellects are the bases in
our mode of thought concerning things
temporal so should they be our guide in
matters spiritual. 1t was his belief that
man should be guided by his own con-
science, and that he should have Chris
tlan experience of his own.
His address was, IN part, as Iollows:
Man has agreed that the testimony of the
senses is reliable. Every science depends
upon the reliability OF the senses for lis foun-
daton, and there is not one which is not
based upon such testimony. God has or
dained that they be reNaDIe, and so tney are.
II is true that the Imagination may become
vicious and that the memory be at FAULT, but
these are only extreme cases. Society trusts
that the operations OF the senses are IN the
main reliable. Man is just as competent to
observe q stone roll up hiu as he is to see 1t
roll down hill. Such is the integrity of your
senses.
Some people stand aghast at the word super
natural. 1t merely means that there is some
thing above nature; that there are gradations
by which the Supreme Being is approached.
AS the angels are super to man, so is the Lord
God super TO the angels The day will come
when the clergy will have the courage to say
that miracles are the mere expression of His
ward manifestations of His super capabilities

The necessity Of place where girls and
children can be kept while waiting for
trial was made very clear last week.
Hulda Johnson was charged with crime,
but there is no place to put her in the City
Prison, except with females old in vice.
For several days the girl was Kept in the
woman's apartment, and finally Judge
Wood consented to greatly reduce the
bail, because Miss Johnson could not be
kept in a decent place.
Some months ago Chief of Police Lloyd
laid this matter before the Christian En-
deavorers, but they decided that it was
not within the lines for which they were
organized. Whether it was within their
scope or not cuts no figure. 1t is not their
place to look after young folks who have
been arrested. 1t is the duty of the city to
provide a proper place with proper attend
ance for young people, and Chief Lloyd
should not give the City Council any peace
till he gets what he wants and which is so
urgently needed.

want of attention. Why then should a

The political mind will be considerably
relieved when the Republican convention
is over. There has been so much said
about the motives of the City Central
Committee in selecting a committee to
appoint the delegates that no one will
feel absolutely safe that the pack does not

shown. 1t is not surprising that ii should
be so, but it would be surprising if it we're

1t is very possible that this is a case in

pear that there was a slate fixed up the
ticket will be defeated. If everybody has
acted in good faith the Republican ticket

SUo broadway, JAN L.
After all there is just possibility that
no one was black baIled by tie Cotillion
Club. Explanations have been made and
a variety of excuses have been advanced
that are as ingenious as numerous. Al
though many names are not on the list OF
the favored it is possible they were in
vited and that the mail carrier was remiss
in his duty; names might have been left
off accidentally and without any motive
and others might not have sought invita-
tions. The lady patronesses OF the CO.
tilion are not responsible for the blue PEN
ell welding, because they did not even see
the list till it was issued by the mysteri-
Gus committee, the personnel Of which is
known to no one. The names OF these
ladies by themselves are a guarantee against
any small practices. 1t would, of course,
be preferable to the exclusive CotilliCn
Club not to have a single name appear,
but there must be something to indicate
the clubs patent OF nobility and TO ex-
elude the idea or suggestion of anything
plebeian, so the following ladies' names
were placed on the invitations: Mrs. P. E.
Bowles, Mrs. Edison Adams, Mrs. Thomas
Magee, Mrs. VIII Magee, Mrs. R. B.
Pierce, Mrs. w. Henshaw, Mrs. Belle
Mhoon.
None of these ladies, however know
who constituted the committee who re-
ceived the applications for invitations
from "P. o. box 200," although all admit
its existence.
One member of the club said something
last night that is certainly true, although
the inference derived from his words is
even more so. There is always trouble
over these blue-nencil proceedings" he
said, "but it can't be helped. You see,
these things have to be arranged so that
the most congenial people only can meet.
We have to be guided by circumstances.

bad"
So, although several names were
dropped from last Wednesdays list after
very careful scrutiny by a secret COM
mittee, the victims should not feel
slighted or aggrieved. 1t was all due to
forgetfulness, or unintentional oversight,
or to the lack of capacious hall, so say
the elite.

claring vacant the position of national
committeeman from Pennsylvania, now
filled by VIM. F. Harrity, and naming
James NJ. Guffey of Pittsburg for the
vacancy.

to that given out by Mr. Harrity, last
right 1t says:
In your letter you state You were
elected national committeeman on the
unanimous recommendation of the
Pennsylvania delegation to that con
vention. In order that this may be I'M
derstood by the people, it may be well
to remind you that you were elected
on a Sunday; that fully one-third of
the delegation was absent and had
been informed by Chairman Robert E.
Wright that no call OF the delegation
would be made that day.
Assuming your election. and even
recognizing it, it still remains that it was
under circumstances as you remember
stated to you in Chicago. that We're pecu-
liar. if not positively discreditable.
Your letter is absolutely wanting in
any expression as to whether or not you
voted for Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic
candidate. and as to what your course
in the future will be in national affairs.
LAS a Democrat, in the full discharge
of my duties to my party / must insist
that your place on the national commit
tee be vacted by you because of your re-
tirement from politics and that it be
filed by an active worker-whose loyalty
cannot be questioned.
