a second ballot was ordered.
The Burns influence was conferred on

voted for Belshaw, and when his name
was called on the second ballot he came
over to Anderson on the jump, giving the
Soiano man the election by majority

Upon the Speaker pro tenn. both sides
agreed and after the formality of nom
nation Assemblyman Dunlap of San Joa-
quin was tossed the office by unanimous
vote. Caucus was adjourned to go up
stairs and ratify both nominations in open
session.
Ex-Speaker Wright's resignation was
the first order of business and it was
quickly disposed Of. A resolution by
resignation forthwith, and it was at once
adopted. Wright became simply the mem
Der from Alameda, and will be of greatest
utility hereafter as an object of interest
to the curious visitor to the floor of the
Assembly.
Mr.. Anderson was then announced as
the choice of the Republican majority for
Speaker and the Democrats placed Meade
Of Los Angeles in the list as their nomi-
nee. The nominating speech was made by
Sanford of Mendocino. The voting gave
the minority candidate simply the
minority vote, and Anderson was declared
elected. Against Dunlap the Assembly
placed Assemblyman Glenn of Glenn
County and the same vote resulted. Dun
lap was declared elected and followed
Anderson to the chair, both of them prop
erly attended by committees of three.
Judge Hughes of this city administered
the necessary oath of office, and then Mr..
Anderson and Mr.. Dunlap INDUCED in the
customary speeches.
Mr.. Anderson said he was proud and
would always try to do right. Mr.. Dun
lap said he was proud. too, but he turned

In the Senate the desk was ordered
to be appropriately draped on the day
of the funeral. A committee of Sena-
tors was also ordered appointed to at
tend the funeral as representatives OF
that branch of the Legislature.
Senator Dickinson in offering the
concurrent resolution paid high COM
pliment to the deceased in a few brief
words. But Senator MorehouSe, who
was a close friend of the late Sen
ator Boggs, on the floor made quite
an extensive speech. In speaking of
the character and life of the departed
legislator Senator Morehouse said:
I regret very much the untimely death
Of Senator Boggs. / have known him for
a period of thirty years, and was ex-
tremely pleased to learn that he desired
a seat by me on the floor of the Senate.
His life is one of the brightest pages of
California's history and his name is a
household word for honesty, manliness
and courage. To my personal knowledge
his acts of beneVolence have made many
homes happy that were otherwise dark
ened by poverty and misfortune. 1t was
only few days ago, knowing that he was
of the minority in the Senate, that his
kindly nature prompted him to give a
situation to a young lady and pay her
compensation from his personal funds
His business interests required him to go
home and he requested me to obtain q
leave of absence for three days, which I
did. At the end of that time / received
a letter from his daughter requesting a

because Colonel Burns could not endure
the weight of supporting him. No
doubt 1t might be very agreeable to the
colonel if Speaker Anderson would now
step forward and relieve Burns Of the
burden. Mr. Anderson is not the man
to begin his career as Speaker by per-
forming an act which would invite the
indignation and contempt of the peo-
pie of California. II allowed to serve
on any committee the late Speaker
should be placed at the narrative end
of the Committee on Public Morals.
The disgraced ex-Speaker is in the
Burns camp to stay. Not another can
didate desires his support. The colonel
did expect at one time that the public
enrolment of Wright among the touts
would benefit the Candelaria cause, but
that beautiful vision vanished when
The Call presented Wright as he was,
not as he seemed. The sum and sub
stance of the colonel's progress since
he established headquarters in Sacra-
mento and involved the assistance of
the Organization" may be expressed
in two words-Wright and Jilson. The
latter has been trying to break away
from the colonel for the past week, but
no other candidate wants his support.
The expected gains from Butte and
Santa Cruz have not been registered.
The county central committees
throughout the State comprehend the
colonels caucus scheme and little sup
port can be obtained from the old-fash-
toned tricks, which formerly caught I'M
wary members of the Legislature. Vol
unteer letters and messages are COM
ing from every county in the State urg-
ing the representatives of the people to
abandon the cause of Burns and to
proceed to the election of Senator
acceptable to the masses Of the Re-
publican party
The last lingering hope of the colonel
lies in the dark lantern caucus. The
quality of tenacity is not denied him.
He is obstinate, persistent and to some
degree patient. He is a politician with
propensities for gambling and mine
jumping, and has no other occupation
to engage his attention, therefore he
fancies that he can wear out the other
aspirants and ultimately force them to
caucus 1t Is not yet clear to his
mind that he is making fight against
the peonle in general and the Republi-
can party In particular. AS in the Es-
tee campaign he is blind to the facts
and situations that are as clear as day
light to the observer who is not dulled
by self-interest The touts throw out
hints tonight that the balloting next
Wednesday will show the people that
Burns can win. It Is the same old
bluff with a new date line Every
known method short of downright pur-
chase of votes for coin has been in
voked to increase the voting strength
of the Burns forces, but 1t does not in
crease.

The constitutionality of the ordinance

for violating the ordinance, appeared be-

attorneys asked for continuance for two
