The associate Of Judge Van Dyke on the
silver ticket will probably be Judge Nc
Kinstry or Judge Wallace, Of San Fran
cisco. both sx-justices Of the supreme court
Of this state.
Congressman Mcguire will soon leave
Washington for San Francisco. He will
probably pass through Los Angeles. 1t
would be very happy affair both for the
people Of this part of the state and for Mr..
Mcguire II suitable arrangements should
be made to entertain him here.
The middle of the-roaders will be left in
the cold on their rump nominations. II
will be remembered that all OF the middte-
of-the-roaders took part in and voted in
the regular Populist convention which
nominated Mcguire. Section 1880 Of the
political code Of this state provides that no
person who has voted in a convention for
any ONCE shall Join in nominating any
other nominee for that office. Thus weep
ing Tom Gator Is left again. Poor Tom!
Kicked out and knocked out.

The San Francisco Post, belonging to Mr..
Mills, of the Southern Pacific company,
does not like the nomination Of Congress
man Mcguire What pity 1t Is the silver
ties do not follow the advice Of the South
ern Pacific push, and especially Of the
Post. Mcguire is thorn in the flesh of
many discouraged individuals. Mcguire
undoubtedly smiles at the incessant bark
ing and snarling Of the little animals who
are Jealous of his nomination. The other
fellows are desperate.

The Examiner is authority for the state
ment that Gov. Budd will be asked to ac-
cept the craftsmanship of the Democratic
state convention. CONCERNING the date of
this convention, 1t says: 'The Democratic
state convention will probably meet in Sac
ramento on August 16 in the big pavilion.
It was first the intention to stave OF the
meeting until after the Republicans had
shown their hand, but there has been a
change in the situation. The sentiment
now is to nominate Mcguire as soon as
possible and give to the people of the state
a platform the Republicans may indorse if
they choose
Secretary Of State Lou H. Brown is re-
ported as saying that Gov Budd vetoed
the appropriation for the state printing Of
fee because State Printer A. J. johnson
discharged two employees. This is all
nonsense. Gov. Budd vetoed this appro-
priation because of the Doodle in it. be-
cause Of the large amount which johnson
demanded and got away with in running
the Office and because a Republican legls-
lature refused to investigate the many
charges brought against johnson. Gov.
Budd simply put stop to bad Republic
can leak, that's all. This same Brown is a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for governor, and this same Johnson is a
candidate for four years more Of misman-
agement Of the state printing Office.

Democrats and Silver Republicans should
not fail to register If they are not now legal
ly upon the register. Registration closes
August 10. Transfers from one precinct 10
another Of the county can be made at any
time prior to October 10.

There Is a movement on foot to organize
another Democratic club in this city. A
petition is now being circulated for sig
natures. This club will organize for ac-
tive and aggressive campaign work. and
will need the assistance of every sterling
Democrat. 1t is proposed to secure club
rooms and maintain permanent headquar-
tiers until the campaign is over, and prob
ably longer. The need of such club has
been felt for long time, and the people
who have the matter in charge say they
propose to make 1t the club Of the city and
the headquarters for all political work in
the future.
DR.. Edwards, Of Vernon, is asking the
the Sixth ward. L. M. Order. the incum-
bent, is also candidate.
The candidates in the first supervisorial
district so far as known are Frank M.
Chapman and W. l.. Woodward incum-
bent. Woodward comes from Clare
mont. Judged according to the picture pa
pers, he would be taken for Populist; he
has long hayseed whiskers. Woodward is
credited with being rather shrewd, and
the chances are he is, for he has two of his
family holding down two good jobs at the
courthouse. There is nothing slow about
woodward. The wind doesn't whistle
through his whiskers for nothing. Neither
does he cock his eye and look wise for fun.
There are too many good jobs in sight and
in use.

In the third district ex-Councilman Mum
son is a candidate, as also are T. F. Phil
lips and e. s. Field, the incumbent. II
was not to be expected that Munson would
not be a candidate. He has now been out
Of a job for two years, and the grass must
have grown short in the streets and around
the curbs where he has been travelling and
standing and waiting and waiting for some
office to become vacant. His opportunity
has arrived. Phillips is deputy tax col
lector of this county and probably the best
qualified man in the whole lot. In fact,
there is nothing bad about him except that
he travels in bad political company-the
courthouse ring. Field is much worried
over the probable loss of his job. He is
