elect. He thinks that there are in the
Legislature at least twenty-five Repub-
licans who will never vote for Burns.
This, therefore, he figures renders the
election of Burns an impoSsibility. The
Bulla men put up the strength of the
several candidates as follows: Burns
q, Grant &c. Bulla 20, Barnes 8, Knight
3 and Morrow 1. This makes a total
of IS votes, the full Republican
strength.
This morning the Bulla men were In
caucus, but this afternoon they had
their important meeting. when L. E.
Mosher, editor of the Los Angeles
Times and the man in charge of that
paper in the absence of Brigadier Cen
eral Harrison CT. Otis, who is at Ma
Mia, was present by invitation. There
was full attendance of Bullas friends
including Senator Simpson, Assembly
men Valentine, Conrey, Mellick, Miller,
Belshaw and Huber, and George H
Stewart, E. A. Meserve and Council
man Charles H. Toll of Los Angeles.
These latter gentlemen are friends of
Bulla who are here assisting him.
Editor Mosher, through the Los An
geles Times. has charged that the Sem
atOrial candidacy of Bulla was a mere
'stalP' in the interest of Burns, and
has severely criticized the members of
the Los Angeles delegation for not COM
man who can beyond question defeat
Burns. When Mosher arrived in town
to-day the members of the Los Angeles
County delegation decided to invite Mr..
Mosher to be present at the caucus
meeting this afternoon for the purpose
of informing him as to the situation.
Mr.. Mosher put in the morning in con-
sultation with Grant and his managers
and this afternoon he had a lively two
hours with the friends Of Senator BulIa
Mr.. Mellick presided this afternoon
as chairman, and the first thing done
after Mr.. Mosher arrived was to invite
him to state why he had so severely
criticized the Los Angeles members for
their loyalty to Bulla.
Mr. Mosher stated that he considered
that by remaining firm to Bulla the
Los Angeles members were increasing
the prospects for the election of Burns
and this he thought to be most unwise.
Mr. Mosher was asked to give his rea-
sons for this opinion and the only
ground he had to stand on was his
statement that Grant was the strongest
man in the field against Burns and he
regarded any vote taken from him as
an assistance to the Burns people.
II was shown to Mr. Mosher that
Bulla was in a fair way TO fall heir to
votes from both Grant and Burns as
second choice. 1t was pointed out to
him that Bulla had the promise of

1t Is undeniably true that Senator
Bulla and his friends have made a
clean and honorable fight. No effort
has been made to bulldoze any member
of the Legislature in his interest. His
merits are being urged, and. that is all
there is to the presentation in Bulla's
behalf.

a circular in behalf of Bulla, a copy

Each of US, no doubt, has his personal
preferences, but | now appeal to you In
behalf of Honorable Robert n. Bulla, a
candidate on whom we may all center

Republican party and get a United States
Senator of whom the great State of Cali
fornia will be proud. We, who know Mr..
Bulla the best, love him the most. and
we would have you realize his personal
worth and fitness for the responsible
position to which he aspires. Your atten-
ton is called to the following points in
behalf of Mr.. Bullas candidacy:
First-Robert n. Bulla is clean, square
aggressive. able and worthy.
Second-He Is serving his fourth ses-
acquaintance with the needs of the whole
State and his loyalty to the peoples in
terests have been proven and are known.
Third-Bulla comes direct from the peo-
pie, elected as we ourselves have been.
If we select him the people will know
that it has been because we have known
him.
Fourth-Elect Bulla directly ourselves
and there will be no managers" boss

all the credit of the election of United
States Senator and proceed to promote
their own personal ends. We will have a
direct advocate at the national seat of

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 9.-For fear of being
tempted to describe the inaugural ball
I stayed away. The night was not the
best for the occasion. Rain fell until
the streets were sloppy and slippery.
All the hacks had been engaged early
in the day, street cars here run on a
schedule hard to comprehend and no
lady in a charming costume wants to
wait under an umbrella at the corner
for car to come along when the
chances are that it won't come any
how, but merely appear in the distance
and vanish. One could not help feeling
sorry for shattered hopes Many a
young man who couldn't afford a car
riage had to get one just the same, and
he might afford it all right and not be
able to secure it for love nor money.
I trust that none of the sufferers really
got their feet wet or their delicate raj
ment damp, for if they did. they will
have the grip tomorrow. The grip is
so common now as to be vulgar. Several
visiting newspaper men have only been
saved from dying of it by taking this
view and letting pride brace them up.
However, even if the rain did mar the
programme it was a more important
function than an inaugural ball and
more popular because the ball was dry.
1t must not be supposed that active
members of de push" go to a ball of
this character. On the contrary the
fact that the affair is ultra respectable
bars them out, prevents them from
having any desire to attend while the
price of the ticket would seriously dis
courage any latent ambition to bask in
the light of social splendOr. Therefore

The weekly ministerial conferences
held yesterday morning according TO
the usual custom by the representa-
tlves of the various religious denomina-
tons were devoted principally to the
framing of resolutions which had for
their purpose the universal protest Of
the ministry of this city against the
election of Colonel D. NJ. Burns to the
United States Senate. Aside from the
adoption of these combined sentiments
of the various churches. individual
comments we're INDUCED in by many
of the. ministers who unreservedly and
openly condemned the character of the
Republican b, SIS from Mexico. They
spoke of his record as Secretary of
State and his criminal violation of the
trust imposed in his office.
one Of the most important resolutions
introduced before the members of the
Presbyterian Ministerial Union at the
regular weekly meeting held. yesterday
morning at the Occidental Mission
House on Sacramento street was the
following, protesting against the cleo

SAN JOSE REPUBLICANS
AROUSED TO INDIGNATION

SAN JOSE, Jan. 9.-The announcement
to-day that Assemblymen Kelsey and
Arnerich had joined Burns forces caused
much Indignation among Republicans,
and especially members of the Good Gov
eminent League. This feeling was added
to when statements of these two worthless
were read in which they stated they had
come to the conclusion, after investiga-
Senator.
Kelsey and Arnerich were strongly de-
nounced on the streets and in hotels for
supporting Burns, and decent Republi-
cans are kicking themselves for voting for
these men. These Assemblymen sought
the suffrage of the people on the plea
that their votes were needed TO aid in the
election of United States Senator who
would be credit to California Instead
they have focked to aid in electing the
most dfsreputable man in the State and
whom the residents of the county have
denounced.
In voting for Burns, Arnerich and KEEL
sey are disregarding the wish of the Re
publ1cans OF Santa Clara County. Satur-
day the Good Government League unani-
mously adopted resolutions and forward
ed them to Senators Shortridge and More
house and Assemblymen Kelsey, Arnerich
and Clark calling on the legislative dele
power to prevent Burns election. The
league has q membership of over 1000 and
is the representative Republican organi-
zation of the county. Since they scored
their victory at the last election Arnerich
frequently visited their headquarters and
assured them he owed his election to their
efforts and would do all he could for
them. Shortridge also held many con-
ferences with the league before election,
and as they put no one in the field against
him ii was thought he would obey their
request and fight Burns. When the reso-
lutions were passed these two We're
counted upon to support them
Morehouse and Clark, It is hoped by
with Kelsey and Arnerich.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPE

of the delegation are to be free to go
to any one they see fit, and it will
require the signatures of four Los An
geles members to drop Bulla from the
race. 1t is known absolutely that Bulla
can hold four of the seven members as
long as he desires and he will there
fore be in the Senatorial fight as long
as 1t suits his pleasure.
The Bulla men are of the opinion that
there will be no Senatorial choice this
week. They think that the balloting
will continue until the end of the week
with Burns and Grant in the lead. Next
Monday unless a result is previously
arrived at they feel that their candidate
will begin to figure as the main factor

election OF a man having
the reputation of d. NJ.
Burns to the Senate Of the
United States.
This resolution, unanimously adopted
by the Presbyterian ministers not only
Of this city but OF the principal cities
surrounding San Francisco. voices the
universal sentiment of public piety and

Burns to the United States Senate The
'prea chers who signed the protest also
made individual comments against the
man from Mexico. Among the most i'm
portant of these are the following:
DIR. Alexander Carson-I hate corrup-
ton in high or low and the reports
'conceTning Burns, If they are true,
should be sufficient cause for every
member of this union, both individually
and collectively, to protest against his
election.
" Dir AlexanC of the Theological
Seminary Of San Anselmo-I do not
know whether Burns is as black as he
is painted, nevertheless / do know him
to be a. corrupt Republican boss and
totally unfit to be our representative in
Inc senate OF the United States.
DIR. II. G. Minton-When we denounce
and protest the election of Colonel
Burns we do not speak as an ecclesi-
'astical body. hut as citizens of Cali
fornia. Therefore having the rights of
citizenship we unanimously oppose and
protest against the election of this man
Burns.

sentiment Of the Congregational min
