POLITICAL REVIEW


| A Pomona correspondent is authority for
the statement that Senator Ardrous is not
candidate for county assessor. 1t would
seem that the senator's name was dragged
into public notice in connection with this
| office by certain Pomona parties in order to
| further their own schemes. If the senator
will just drop a note to Pollticus telling him
his troubles and just what office he would
like to hold down for the next two or four
years. the scribe will set him straight before
the people. Under the same cover the sena-
tor might be able to please the public by
short dissertation upon the Dreher-Packard
push of Pomona.
The fight for the Republican nomination
for sheriff goes merrily on. Burr, from all
indications, Is covering more miles and
reaching more points in the county than any
of his rivals, and If distance and places
count in the final roundup he will certainly
be in the lead. Johnny Cline, Billy Hammel
and George McLain, however, are doing
considerable travelling themselves, and
while it is thought Burr has the best Of the
fight thus far, the wise men will not be dis
appointed II Burr is defeated by the forces
of his three rivals joining and giving their
support to some one of them.
The Silver Republicans of this county are
taking steps to hold a county convention.
This is a step In the right direction and
probably preliminary to their state conven-
ton and coalition with the other reform par
ties.
The Silver Republican club of Florin, Sac
ramento county, has adopted resolutions in
favor of county and state coalition and has
taken as its motto, United we stand, d.
vided we fall"
Congressman Castle of the Seventh dis
trict will undoubtedly be renominated. Mr..
Castle is Populist and was the union nom
ines two Years ago.
The silver parties of MADEIRA county have
adopted union ticket OF the offices the
Populists got the assessor, district attorney,
recorder, two supervisors and a share of the
township places. The Silver Republicans
were given superintendent of schools.
The Populist county convention of Kings
adopted resolution in favor of fu-
sion by vote of SO tot.
Congressman Loud of San Francisco is
one of the latest candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor.
Judge Conley of MADEIRA has been Endorsed
by the Democratic committee of MADEIRA
county for associate justice of the supreme
court. He will probably have solid dele
cation from the San Joaquin valley back of
him.
The Democratic candidates who would
like to succeed Senator White are Judge
w. 7. Wallace and exCongressman Clunie
of San Francisco, w. w. Foote of Oakland
and Abbot Kinney of this city. The Re-
publican candidates for the same office are |
u S. Grant and State Senator Bulla from
the south and M. H. de Young, ex-senator |
c. B. FELTON, and perhaps Claus Spreckels |
An enthusiastic Democrat Of Long Beach |
writes:
If ]. A. Ards Of Downey will not be a
candidate for the assembly, what is the
matter with nominating Omr Bulls of
Compton? He is a tried and true old
Democratic warhorse.
1t is reported down here that Mr.. Mer-
rill, who was beaten by George Patton
two years ago for the craftsmanship OF
the county convention, would like the
Democratic nomination for state senator
in this district. It seems to be the SEN
timent here that he Is not the strongest
candidate in the district and since the
Republicans usually win out, the only
sensible thing to do is to nominate the
very strongest man we have and with
coalition we can win, hands down.
The editorial in The Herald Saturday
morning pertaining to the chairman
ship of the county committee Is full of
sound sense and should be needed DR..
Hill has made an excellent chairman
and should be reelected.
