lIO I6lIOeiQ lllty llOl Dt 6O SALOliS tiAeI they would stand against him, and if not he would be powerful candi- date"
 H. H. TAYLOR, Agent for Mills Building-I believe ex-Mayor L. R. FL lert would be the best man the Repub- licans could nominate, and should nke to see him at the head of the ticket this fall. As a good Republican l will support the ticket, whoever is nomln- ated.
 COLONEL D. E. MILES, Assistant Manager London and Lancashbe h. surance Company-The choice of the Republican delegates to the State con- vention will suit me.
 CHARLES SMITH, Secretary Dewey Central Republican Club-Personally am in favor of L. H. Brown. and should like to see him nominated by the Republican party. but l shall sup port the ticket, whoever is at the head of 1t.
 THOMAS M. CLUFF. Grocer-I am for General John H. Dickinson for Gov ernor and I think he ought to receive the nomination. I am Republican first, last and all the time, and will work for the man selected by the State convention.
 WILLIAM A. HALSTED, Under taker-John H. Dickinson is my choice for Governor. will support the ticket.
 JULIUS JACOBS, Assistant United States Treasurer at the Local Sub Treasury-If Dr. Pardee is nominated by the Republican party for Governor l think he will make a good. strong fight. Of course there are number of prominent men whose names have been mentioned In connection with this of flee who would no doubt have good chance, but I believe that Dr. Pardee is as strong any named far.
 SPENCER BUCKBEE, Real Estate There are many strong men already named for the honOrs of the position, but l am of the opinion that if George A. Newhall received the nomination he would carry the State from one end to the other. The Newhalls have a strong hold upon the sympathies of the farm ing community, and the name carries prestige wherever 1t is spoken. From 8 personal standpoint I would like to See MT Newhan given the nomination, and from general standpoint l believe he would make the strongest candidate the Republican party could put to the front.
 GROVE P. AYERS-I am for the candidate of the convention. Several men already mentioned would make excellent Governors and I have no per sonal choice. I expect to go to Sacra- mento as delegate and will SUD- port the man who shows the greatest strength.
 UNITED STATES SENATOR PER kINS-The nominee of the convention will be satisfactory to me. l have no personal choice.
 NJ. H. DE YOUNG-I do not care to express my preference at this time. When the proper moment arrives l shall take a stand in accordance with my opinions. JUDGE J. 4. WAYMIRE, ex-Speak- CT of the Assembly-Three personal friends of mine in Alameda County are mentioned as probable candidates for Governor and l should be glad to sup l port any one of them. However, l | wish to say that I will support the | nominee of the convention.
 GENERAL w. H. L. BARNES-I be- 1 Iieve Gage is the strongest candidate | in the field and think he would be | elected if nominated. If the Alameda | County Republicans would stop fight | ing among themselves they might get | the candidate, put they won't stop wrangling and of necessity the nomi- 1 nee must come from some other section of the State. SUPERVISOR JOHN LACKMANN- l think Ellert Is the strongest man the Republicans could name in the city or State. He could keep Maguires vote down to the normal Democratic level
  country. At the Freeholders' election, l held here on December 2T last, Ellert l ran on the Merchants Association i ticket He ran ahead of the highest 1 man on his own ticket by about 1000, | and beat Lloyd, the highest man on the | fusion ticket, 3300 Had all the votes In l the city been cast Ellert would have been elected Freeholder by about 5000 i majority. At the December election, | you will remember, only 26,000 votes l oil Ia -ia6 fHa oiF for Supervisor by 10, 900 majority. El- | lert, in my opinion, is just as strong in the country as here. l meet men from | the interior every few days who tell me he is regarded in many localities as the only man who can defeat Ma guire. I am a personal friend of the ex-Mayor, but l would not express these opinions if I did not believe the facts would bear them out. My friend ship for him would not lead me to either mislead the Republican party or raise false hopes in him or among his friends. In my judgment, If the con- vention wants winner who will sweep all before him, he Is their man. T. J. TRUMAN-Attorney General Fitz- gerald is an able man9a 11sL man of great great ] should say he is my first choice and Sec retary of State Brown my second.
 WILLIS E. DAVIS-Irving M Scott could be elected. He Is man that would command large support outside Of his party. C. N Felton is also an able man and would make an excellent Governor. MT. Scott would be my first choice and MT. Felton my second.
 NJ. H. WEED-Why not go outside of the list and take up, for example, Judge Slack? He Is a clean man of high charac- ter and fine intellect.
 ALBERT MILLER-The office should seek the man, and no man should seek the office. Irving M. Scott is man of the right sort.
 GENERAL LUCIUs II. FOOTE-My choice without hesitation is Irving M. Scott, but 1t would depend upon pr. Chis- more to say whether MT. Scott should accept. l have no second choice. There would be no doubt of Scott's election. So many men of all classes are attached to him that he would get a very large vote. He would carry San Francisco against any opposition candidate.
 ARTHUR MOORE-Irving M Scott is my first choice, but ! recognize the popu- larity and strength of George A Knight
