ANOTHER STATE CONVENTION
REPUBLICANS TO ASSEMBLE
ON TUESDAY.
The Delegates Will Begin to Put in
an Appearance This
Afternoon.

The Republican State Convention will
meet in this city on Tuesday and to-
day the advance guard of delegates will
arrive Many of the delegates are now
in San Francisco, where the struggle
for votes is going on among the cam
didates The latest gossip about the
political headquarters is thus given in
last evenings Post:
Mr.. Gage was exceedingly cheerful
to-day over the outlook of his fight for
the Gubernatorial nomination, and,
while he would say nothing that
could be construed into a declaration
that he would receive the nomination.
it was evident that he held something
in reserve His friends, however, were
inclined to talk. and number of them
about his headquarters declared that ne
had now votes enough pledged to in
sure his success.
DIR. Pardee is making strenuous ef-
forts to secure the votes of the country
delegations He realizes that his OPP
ponent is in the lead. but the situation,
instead of discouraging him, spurs him
on to renewed effort. He was on hand
bright and early this morning canvass
ing the situation, but he refused TO
give out his figures for publication. 1t
is evident. however, that he fears the
San Francisco delegation is against
him. When asked for his opinion on
the proposition he failed to respond in
direct terms. but intimated that he did
not believe he would receive many of
this citys votes.
while the fight is going on for the
Gubernatorial nomination candidates
for minor places on the ticket are ac-
lively at work Judging from the out
look this morning, it seemed that Frank
MCGOWAN was in the lead for Lieuten-
ant Governor.
THE battle for Surveyor General has
turned in the direction of NJ. j. Wright.
who is pledging numerous delegations
for his support.
Thomas j. Kirk is in the lead for
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
and Truman Reeves is undoubtedly the
favorite for State Treasurer.
The announcement that Louis ia
cobs, ex-Depu y City and County TT as
urer. would probably pull off the nom
ination for Clerk of the Supreme Court
caused considerable surprise. 1t was
whispered about that General de Young
was making Jacobs fight and had been
assured that his candidate would re-
ceive the nomination.
THE fight for State Printer promises
to be a battle between Al Johnston and
shannon Nickson is reported to have
retired in favor of Shannon. Among the
wise ones the opinion prevails that
Johnston is destined to be returned a
winner.
For the State Board of Equalization
from this district it is thought that A
Chesebrough the incumbent. will be re-
nominated. George Dixon is making
fight for the honor. but does not appear
to have substantial strength enough to
encourage him.
IF. p. Colgan is in the field again for
Controller and will probably go on the
ticket. He is popular in San Francisco
on account of the position he took in
her interests as a member of the State
Board of Equalization.
Senator Byrnes of San Mateo is in
the fight for Railroad Commissioner
from this district He claims TO have
the support Of influential leaders and
will be greatly disappointed If not
placed on the ticket.
THE proceSsf to Sacramento Will
start tomorrow afternoon. AT that
time the San Francisco delegation VIII
take the train and wend its way to the
Capital. The delegates will be accom-
panied by an unusually large number
of politicians and eminent pubic cl1-
zens.' who will make the trip simply
to be on hand as interested spectators
of a great public event"
