After all, there may not be so much of
terror in the declared purpose of Spain to
indulge in privateering. Naval experts
point out the fact that successful priva-
teerng, no less than successful sea war
fare, depends upon the ability Of those
engaging in it to secure ample supplies
of fuel. Were this vouchsafed to the
Spanish navy, it would doubtless today
be in force on this side of the Atlantic,
instead of hugging the African Shores
near to it's base of supplies. The same
caution and prudence that governs the
movements of battleships and cruisers
will need to be employed in giving direc-
ton to privateers, and the conditions that
have obtained are full of the most graft
flying assurance.

into active politics is puzzling the boys. lie

the delegates let the cat out Of the bag, per-

saying that war governors are always re-
nominated and reelected. The governor
however, has declared time and again that
he is not candidate for reelection. The
better guess would be that he has his eye

Several cities are on the hunt for the
Democratic state convention and among
them are Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Los
Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Stockton
and San Francisco. There is rot much show
of LosAngeles' getting the convention. The
general sentiment seems to be in favor of
San Francisco, which will probably be
chosen. When it is remembered that the
conventions of the three silver parties will
all meet at the same time and in the same
place it will be seen that the accommoda- =
tions at the command of the smaller cities
will not be adequate. SCRUTATOR.

POLITICAL NOTES
aNRaRARENEMENN@aRGG

The recent meeting of the Democratic
state central committee at San Francisco
was hardly worth the call for 1t, judging
by what was done. It had been supposed
the meeting was called for the purpose Of
organizing for the state campaign, deter
mining the time and place for holding the
state convention and fixing the number of
delegates The work Of the meeting as
reported consisted of fixing the number Of
delegates by giving to each county one
delegate for each 200 Bryan votes and ap-
pointing a committee for omnibus pur-
poses, the principal one of which. 1t would
seem, is to settle the splits in the San
Francisco Democracy.
Upon the basis of one delegate for each
county and one delegate for each 200 of the
144.O 900 Bryan votes cast November. 1896. the
state convention will have III delegates.
This number is too large for a state con-
vention. 1t is true as a general proposition
that the larger the representation the more
democratic the convention, but there is a
limit where the dispatch Of business and
wise counsel are liable to be jeopardized
by the confusion and wrangle of large
membership
According to the foregoing basis OF rep.
resentation San Francisco Will be entitled
to 154 delegates for her 81. 5l2 votes cast FOL
Bryan, Los Angeles county G. delegates for
her 16,1O0 votes and Alameda the next In
order with IS delegates for her 1916 votes.
OF the other counties In the southern part
Of the state Orange will be entitled to ID,
Riverside to 10. San Bernardino to Is and
San Diego to 2l delegates. This would give
to the five southern counties total of
lis votes in the state convention. A blind
man ought to be able to see that with a
divided San Francisco and split Alameda
delegation a solid delegation from the
southern counties ought to be able TO
swing things about it's own way.

In all probability the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor will come from the north.
The lieutenant governor should therefore
come from the central or southern part of
the state. This Office is generally looked
upon with disfavor since the salary is small
and there is no patronage connected with
1t. But 1t is a mistake to say that the office
is of no account. The lieutenant governor
is speaker of the senate and as such has
the appointment of all the committees,
which means that he has 1t in his power to
shape all legislation.
Southern California has candidate for
the Democratic nomination for lieutenant
governor in the person of Col Dan Eaker
of Santa Ana.

Justices Van Fleet and Mcfarland both
improved their spare time while in the city
looking after their interests in the matter

uncles in this part of the state. and the
last heard from was that he was on the

The war Is on and unless steps are taken
al once to cool the burning patriotism of
some of the aspiring candidates for county
offices the official machinery of Los An
gees county may be at a standstill after
January next. From all reports every can
didate Is recruiting a company of volun-
teers to go to the front, ostensibly in the
Cuban war; but some wag has remarked
to come to the front on election day. These
unkind. perhaps unjust stories should not.
without further evidence, lull the people
into the belief that they are true, and they
should therefore take the matter in hand
and persuade the only men who know how
to fill official positions to remain at home
on good pay for four years rather than
take their chances on bloody Cuban fields
of battle.

BOOTH FOR TREASURER.

John o. Booth, the Union candi-
date for state treasurer, comes Of
Methodist family renowned for hon
esty and integrity. AS Union can
didate he will not be controlled by
any clique.or faction Of the money
power or state treasury pull.
Hon. ID. p. Thompson of Portland
has stated to a man we know that
under Republican state treasurers it
was the custom to pay the treasurer
$4,000 for the use OF 100000 of public
money for year.. There is no doubt
but that this has been carried on for
twenty years and will be until the
present ring is oyer thrown, the treas.
ury scraped clean TO the bottom and
balanced up.
When Governor Larrabee went into
Office In Iowa, the state treasurer
presented his monthly report showing
$3.50, 900 cash Ia the treasury, which
the Governor had to certify to. Lar
rabee would not certify until he had
counted the cash. All the express
wagons in Des Molnes we're kept on
the jump to produce the money, be-
cause they knew he meant business
He counted every penny. Several
banks went broke, 5000, 900 Of interest
was stopped and the treasury was
balanced.
Would T. T. Geer as governor per
form any such service aud COMPEL the
Republican state treasury ring u
make "show DOWN." Not much,
But ]. o. Booth, with Will King
for governor, will force cleanup
wipe out half a million OF interest
bearing warrants.
Do the people want that done ? d.
the people want public funds to can
cell public debt, and public interest
stopped ?
There is only one way to being abou
this reform and that Is by voting 70
J. o. Booth for treasurer, and KIM
governor.
