Of the primaries at o'clock this morning.
shat the Republican state central commit
tee had positively refused to obey the be-
hest of the Los Angeles Times and turn
down w. F. X. Parker and Fl. Y. u. Os-
borne, the alphabetical curiosties, dt would
have made just little difference IN the re-
suit of the primaries" The result, never
theless, gives the railroad push. headed by
Parker and Osborne-according to the
Times-full control of the coming conven-
ton, but had the news Of the clipping Of the
wings and talons of the Times eagle been
received earlier the chickens would have
been saved a row or two in some of the
primary barnyards.
The primaries yesterday changed less
than per cent of the caucus delegates.
The only fights resulting in changes were
in the Twelfth and Thrty-nlnth precincts,
and both OF these were based on the fight
for nomination for sheriff. although in the
Thrty-ninth precinct fight the chairman
ship of the convention cut some figure.
In the Twelfth precinct three Of those
who are called "Mannings men," all of
whom were for McLain for sheriff, first,
last and all the time" were turned down
by the Burr forces, leaving the delegation
as 1t now stands an unsettled question.
In the Thlrty-nlnth precinct Frank F.
Davis. who still smarts from sly stigma
cast at him by the deputy adjutant gen.
eral Of the absent brigad;er general. and
who nevertheless aroused the only enthu-
siasm at the late Southern Pacific tourna-
ment at Sacramento, when he nominated
Gage, was defeated. together with his col
leagues on what was known as the Wig
mes ticket.
Both Davis and the leader of the oppo-
sition forces. Judge ]. w. Mckinley, were
asprants for the craftsmanship, but as
Judge Mckinley early in the day an
nounced that he would not be a candidate
for the craftsmanship. the real fight was
over the nomination for sheriff. Mckinley
being for Hammel and the Davis-Vignes
delegates being for McEain.
Magnetic and Hypnotic Henrys
The chadrma mship Of the Republican
county convention deserves more than pass
ing notice. 1t will probably furnish the
introduction Of Magnetic Henry into Hyp-
motto Henry's campaign. The two forces
magnetism and hypnotism, are supposed
to work together. but It is said by those
Markham has had his eagle eye fastened
on the senatorsh!p for long time, and
that he was none too we'll pleased when
Hypnotic Henry Gage was selected as the
gubernatorial candidate and Michael Henri
De Young was announced as the logical
senatorial candidate of the combined
railroad-sugar trust push and pull COM
bination.
aAIr
Henry will get In ard dig, but whether his
trench will be mine for Hypnotic Henry
and his friends remains to be seen.
While Frank f. Davis and Judge Nc
Kinley wanted to be chairman Of the con-
vention, so did and so do Ed Meserve. Judge
Works and half a dozen Others but the
Magnetic Henry seems to have the run
ming all his own way just now, and will un-
doubtedly be selected. And he won't do
thing to a portion OF the slate. With his
magnetic hammer he will crack 1t in sew
eral places. unless the delegates take the
tool away from him.
The Davis-McKinleyF Fight
When H. c. Vlgnes put Frank H. Davis
on his ticket in the nhirty-nin; n and agreed
to mo caucus, but a fight a: the primar-
les" he seemingly forgot that the Times
had lambasted Davis in no certain, but
very uncertain, way-whch, however,
was a thrust that, while mot as wide as
barn door nor as deep as a WE'LL" was
enough to notify the Republicans that the
"eagle" was out after Davis, talons, tail
and all. Davis actions at Sacramento did
rot suit the Times, so 1t merely hin ted dark
~ about "past records" intimating that 1t
had something up its sleeve to spring when
the time arrived to cold-deck the game II
Mr.. Davis was in 1t. Judge Mckinley prob
ably appreciated the fact Of the Times
threat and planned accordingly. Davis
was 20 go down and Mckinley to go up, be-
cause, If 1t was the other way, the eagle
would scratch.
But Mckinley was all tangled up in the
shrievalty fight with Hammel, and when
Cline and Burr and McLain realized The
prestige that Hammel would get from hav-
ing his chief Sponsor elected chairman of the
convention they went TO work to pull Nc
Kinley down. They didn't care about Da-
Wis defeat, but they did care about Nc
Kiniey's elevation, and so he latter pulled
out of the fight for the craftsmanship, real
izing that his defeat in the convention
would hurt Hammel and generously pre-
d
Job to his own temporary elevation. The
elected delegates from the Thirty-nnth are
vFree traders for anything blu: sheriff. They
will probably throw their strength to Bell
Hor county clerk. providing Bell can recip-
Xrcate with votes for Hammel.
Y The Pasadena Delegation
TThs, say the Pasadena boys. Bell can
Vt do. All trades will be based on the
triff's fight, and while Bell will come
Y the convention with the solid 6S of
fadena and South Pasadena for his own
tination, 1t is asserted that there are
klfteeh delegates in the lot he can trade
tyone.
W OF the Pasadena boys resent the
Nent accorded "Billy" Arthur by the
MA politicians. Arthur was on
