Hold a Caucus.

!. (From the Woodland Mail)
The people of this State elected the
present Republican Legislature with
the understanding that the members
thereof would choose a Republican to
succeed Steve White, who has been
the greatest misrepresentation we ever
had, and if they fail to do so with the
overwhelming majority they have they
will seriously injure the prospects OF
the party and at the same time COM
NIT political suicide. The Republicans
have always settled their differences
in the past by means of the caucus,
and they should do SO this time.
A very important reason why the
Republicans should caucus is that II
the Democrats should have the Legls-
lature two years from now they Viii
gerrymander the State in such man
ner that the Republicans would De
practically shut out in many Congress
sionai and legislative districts. This
if nothing more should induce the Ike
publicans to get together in caucus and
thus settle the Senatorial question

the State, urged the Importance of the
election of Republican to succeed
Stephen M. White We did this not
withstanding the unsavory political
reputation of the persons who unfor-
tunately happened to be running on the
Republican ticket in this county.
The Republican party won a grand
victory, electing the entire State ticket
and eighty-five of the 12O members of
the Legislature. But although the
Legislature has been in session nearly
six weeks and the session is nearly over,
still the contest for Senator is no near
er a close than it was the day the Leg
islature met
The time has now come when the am
bition of candidates and their friends
should be laid aside and the welfare of
the party considered. The vote in the
United States Senate last week on rat
flying the peace treaty shows the need
for another Republican in the Senate.
If no Senator is elected now the Gov
ernor cannot appoint one, and the mat
ter goes over until the next Legis1a-
ture, thus leaving California in this i'm
portant crisis in her history short one
Senator. It is of course among the
contingencies of politics that two years
hence the Legislature may be Demo-
cratic. Certainly if the Republicans
with a majority of fifty in the Legisla-
ture cannot agree on a Senator the
people would not feel very enthusiastic
about again placing them in power.
These reasons make it obligatory
upon every Republican in the Legisla-
ture to secure the election of some one
for Senator. The Republicans of Cali
fonia do not want a deadlock. They
want a Republican to succeed White.
We have no fear but that the Republic
cans will, as result of a caucus. agree
upon man for Senator who will be
entirely worthy and who will represent
our great State well.
We hope and believe that the Repub
licans of the Legislature will come to-
gether in caucus; that the danger to
the party of a deadlock will be averted
and that all good Republicans will pre-
pare to win another glorious victory
two years hence under the banner of
William Mckinley and territorial ag
grandiZement. Let's have a caucus.

TO act as he would have his constitu-
ents believe he acts, will. hesitate to
take part in an open conference with
his fellow Republicans. The time
presses for action. The situation Is
such that it would be a political crime
to permit the United States Senate to
meet without two Republicans to take
their seats. 1t was for that purpose
that the present Legislature, was elect
ed. Whatever influence was contribute
ed in the campaign by Grants money,
by promises of patronage, or by the
individual popularity of candidates,
these did not constitute a factor patent
enough to win. The Republican Legis-
lature was selected because the people
wanted Republican Senator to sup
port the Republican administration Of
President Mckinley. And now it is the
hrst duty of the Republicans of the
Legislature to respond to this manifest
sentiment by getting together.
In fact, the Republican, members have
no right to expose the party and the
State to the danger of Democratic die
tation of the choice. 1t has been pos
slble almost any day for the Democrats
to throw their votes to one of the lead
ing candidates and settle the choice.
This is a danger that should be avoid
ed. The Republicans of the State do
not want Senator chosen by Demo-
cratic votes, and placed under obliga-
lions to Democratic legislators and the
Democratic party.
The members of the Republican party
all over the State should now, with
united voice, demand distinct Repub-
llcan action. 1t is the only way to give
the State Senator that will be ac-
ceptable to the Republicans. Somebody
must yield. In fact, all must yield their
set preferences and enter into a con-
terence. The party demands it. The
legislators must accede to it.

An Open Caucus.

(From the Tulare Register)
strenuous effort is making to have
caucus of the Republican members
of the Legislature on the Senatorial
issue. The anti-Burns element has
been afraid to caucus on account OF
the secret ballot, fearing that a num-
Der of members would vote for Burns
on the sly who would not dare to do
so in the open, but now comes Colonel
Burns. who declares that he is in favor
of caucus of Republican Legislators,
the votes to be taken therein by roll
call as in the Assembly One more
point, and We are in favor of it: That
said caucus shall be in the Assembly
Chamber and open, so that the way
each man votes shall be known to the
public. 1t is time for the Republic
cans to get into that sort of a body
and fight to a finish, that they may
be free to go about the other business
of legislation.

VI lOi1l lIlC Ndpd -RSSlStClJ
The Legislature now in session at
Sacramento is Republican by big ma
jority. 1t was elected by Republicans
earnestly interested in promoting the
principles of their party and retaining
control of the United States Senate. 1t
has a duty to perform which it can
not evade and must not treat indiffer-
ently-that of choosing a successor TO
Senator Stephen M. White. The last
days of the session are here, and no
Senator is yet in sight. A deadlock"
is permitted to paralyze party effort
and inspire Democratic hope. Like a
fever that has had it's run, it should
be broken. Republicans in both houses
of the Legislature should close their
ears to the appeals of selfish aspirants,
the Incorporate talk of 'get-even
journalists, and get together on the
broad proposition that a Senator must
and shall be elected. Majorities rule
in political organizations as in contests
between parties. Let Republicans in
this Legislature honor that fact; hold
caucus, not a bobtailed one; fight out
their differences there, and in joint
convention record the result The pres
emit agony has lasted long enough.

the only way to preserve their stand
ing among constituents. But the Re-
publican voters are not fools, and
should the Legislature fail to elect a
Republican Senator the Republican
legislators will be held directly re-
sponsible. There is a long hereafter

a Republican Senator from this State,

The Senatorial Deadlock.
(Fram the Riverside Press

(From the Riverside Press)
Some of the Republican leaders at
Sacramento have been doing some fS-
uring, and on Saturday they woke UP
to the fact that if on some day when
the joint Senatorial ballot was taken
there were only sixty-nine members ol
both houses present the thIrty-nve
Democrats, if all were on hand, Could
re-elect Senator White. On Saturday
there were only seventy-nine members
present vixen the vote was taken, ana
a few more Republican absentees would
have made, the election of a Democratic
Senator possible. The Republicans had
a good scare, and are not likely TO let
this "fortuitous combination of unpro-
pitious events" arise But that is one
of the possibilities in connection with
this prolonged deadlock.
But there is more serious danger
than this, because it is more real more
likely to be the outcome of the sltua-
tion-and that is that we shall fait TO
elect a Senator at all. And that means
that for two years California VIII nave
but one Senator: that in the upper
house of Congress just half our mill
ence and voting strength will be gone
and that when the canal bill, the SAn
Pedro harbor matter, the tarlH ana
other matters of vital Importance TO
US are up, we shall have only one vote.
instead of two. And more than that,
California is a close State, with strong
tendencies to oscillate back and forth
from one party to the other; and the
chances are at least even that the
Democrats may carry the state III
1900 and that the Legislature two
Democrat.
And that means not simply a vote for
free silver. but a vote against protec-
ton to California oranges, raisins WOOL
and other products when the ques-
ton of tariff legislation comes up again.
The Republicans have eightyfive votes
out of rs in the present Legislature,
and it would certainly be an act OF
grave political stupidity for them to
allow the Legislature to adjourn with
out elec-ing a Republican colleague to
Senator Perkins.
We are simply discussing the matter
from a party standpoint, and 1T GER
tainIy seems to us that it ought to be
possible to '.get together" and elect
Senator. Cannot some sort of con-
ference be held that will untangle this
Senatorial knot? We have no partic-
ular program to recommend, but II
seems as if it ought to be possible to
agree on some plan that is fair, equit-
able and satisfactory to all the leading
candidates. The session is drawing
near its close, and the Republicans are
tired of the deadlock. They want a
Republican elected-a worthy, compe-
tent man, but above all they want an
election, rather than take chances on
two years with only one Senator, and
the possibilities of Democratic success
two years hence.

Mrs. Ellen Sp1ane Meets Her Boy At
ter Twenty-six Long Years.
After having been separated twenty
John were reunited at the Harrison
street police station in Chicago.
Each had searched for the other con-
stantly. During all this time the son
prospered, but the mother became an in

making patchwork quilts to SELL for
which she made occasional trips to the
city, with the idea of assuring herself Il
respectable burial. Monday Mrs

the Harrison street police station and
told her story to Capt. Mahoney, who at
once sent detectives to search for John
Splane. Meanwhile the woman was
cared for at the Harrison street annex.
Yesterday a Well-dressed man about 40
years old called at the annex and asked
to see Mrs. Splane. He was ushered
into the presence of the woman, but she
failed to recognize him. and the caller
turned away, the tears mounting to his
eyes, without making himself known. He
walked 70 the door and sat for several
minutes on the outside stairs sobbing
When he had regained his composure he
went again to the corner in which his
mother sat and heard from her lips the
story of her lost boy. Then he told her
who he was.
Mr.. SDlane refused absolutely to give
any information concerning himself or
his address.

Catholic home at Harrison and Throop
Streets was all he had to say.
