is asserted positively that under no cir
cumstances is there a vote in the Los
undoubtedly true. The Los Angeles Sem
ator or Assemblyman who casts his vote
for the Candelaria colonel is ready for the
political undertaken, as far as his future
prospects in Los Angeles County are con-
cerned. There are a number of Los An
geies politicians who desire Burns cleo
ton, but they can be named and told ON
on the fingers of your two hands, Among
them might be named William b. Dunn,
ex-City Attorney; Frank ?. Flint, United
States Marshal; w. F. Parker, Governor
Henry T. Gage and his satellites. But
these parties do not cut any figure IN the
Republican politics of their home county
any more. They cannot swing one vote
from Bulla to Burns, if Bulla retires from
the fight, save for good round consid-

The Grant men. on the other hand, are
very bitter against Bulla. They think
that if Grant could have the eight votes
from Los Angeles county ne WOulQ ne
on the high road to an election. That
would give him only thirty-five votes, and
he would still be lacking twenty-six of the
required number But as long as Bulla

any more Los Angeles County votes than
he has to-day. The treacherous Huber

THE CHARTER WILL BE
CONSIDERED TUESDAY

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. H.-San Francisco's char
ter was this morning made the special
order in the Assembly for Tuesday morn
ing Immediately after the reading of the
journal. It was done upon motion of AS
semblyman Cobb of San Francisco, and
finally removes that precious document
beyond any slight danger there may have
been of it's suffering by amendment at the
hands of the Judiciary Committee.
1t was feared by the more nervous Of
the friends of the document that Dib-
ble's motion of yesterday 70 recall it from
the Committee on Municipal Corporations
and rerefer it to the Judiciary Commit
tee preceded an attempt to cut out certain
sections Objectionable to the San Fran
cisco push but the truth is that, though
Dibble is said to have had some such in
tention he was the only one of the COM
mittee who had, and would not have been
strong enough to effect his plan. The
charter has not been for a minute in any
actual jeopardy, and Dibble himself will
vote for it when 1t comes up for its final
reading and passage.
This howl of danger to 1t and these
pleas for eternal vigilance have been to
effect no other purpose than the speetacu-
lar plan of advertising just now the one
idea of Mayor James d. Phelan. Does
there go out an announcement that the
charter is being considered and Mr.. Phe-
lan's daily issue blazons forth Danger to

polish of the Phelan shoes, and the bur-

THREE IMPORTANT
BILLS INTRODUCED

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA>
MENTO, Jan. 14.-Assemblyman Meade of
Los Angeles is out after the many and
variegated so-called investment compa-
MES. The Western slope has for the past
half dozen years been prolific field for
about every catch-penny scheme that a
clever CRATER can conceive, and few of
them have ever resulted in anything save
profit to the promoter. San Francisco
and Los Angeles particularly have been
successful fields Of operation. Mutual
benefit associations have builded up
assets of thousands Of dollars out of no
apparent capital. and although Califor-
MAS code does not permit of preferred
stocks in its corporations, so-called pre-
Terred stocks, thinly disguised, guaran-
teeing anywhere from to u per cent
per annum to any one who cares to put
his savings in them, have been unloaded
all over the State, and every year has
its story to tell of one or more of the con-
Germs going broke, its patrons with It,
1t is these institutions that Assembly
man Meade is after and the more reputa-
BILE class as we'll. Among the numerous
good bills he has already introduced is
this afternoon, which brings all of these
associations under the class known as
building and loan associations, and makes
them amenable to the rules and regula-
lions or the building and Loan Com
mission.
The bill also hits solar plexus blow
at those building and loan associations
whose methods are as questionable as
their assets, in providing that any men,
Der or investor shall have the right to
Withdraw from the association upon
thirty days notice. and that If his in
vestment and accrued interest be not
paid within ninety days after formal no.
tice is given, the corporation may issue
no more of its stock until such with
drawal is fully liquidated.
An association shall be nsolvent when
Its assets are less than the dues that have
been paid in, and any insolvent associa-
ton must pare down the face of it's stock
enough to offset its arrearages or go into
the hands of a receiver. The provisions
OF the bill relating to insolvency are taken
from the laws now in effect in New York,
Illinois and Indiana
Works of San Diego also introduced a
Dill regulating the appointment of not
aries public. Under the present law the
only qualification necessary in an appli-
cant for notary's certificate is the sig
natures of two citizens Of standing in
his community Under the law proposed
by Works, an applicant must undergo ex-
animation by the Superior Judge of his
county and must have lived in the county
in which he makes application for a year
or more
A bill, said to have been drafted at the
request of associated labor, was intro
duced during the morning, and bids fair
to attract considerable attention before
it is finally passed. 1t takes a lar step
forward for the betterment of the men
who are employed in factories, foundries
or in any business where stationary ma
chinery is used and where the record of
injuries is necessarily long one. By the

ROUTINE WORK IN
THE SENATE CHAMBER

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 14.-U. S. Grant, Mayor
James d. Phelan of San Francisco and
Charles L. Patton were among the visit.
ors to the Senate chamber this morning,
and were interested spectators of the pro-
ceedings.
One of the most important matters pre-
scented for the consideration of the Sena-
tors was Trout's constitutional amend
ment abolishing the Board of Railroad
Commissioners. 1t is the same as the
amendment already introduced in the AS
sembly by Radcliff and as both gentle
men are from Santa Cruz it would appear
as though that county had a special an
tipathy to the board. The proposed
amendment reads as follows:
"A resolution to propose to the people
of the State of California the repeal of
section q of article XII of the constitu-
ton IN relation to Railroad Commission
ers.
Resolved by the Senate, the Assembly
concurring, That the Legislature of the
State of California at its regular session,
commencing on the second day of Janu-
airy, 1889, two-thirds of the members elect
ed to each of the two houses voting in
favor thereof, hereby propose that sec
ton % of article XII of the constitution
of the State of California be repealed"
The question of the necessity of ballot
ing for United States Senator on Sunday
was brought up and quickly decided in
the negative. Bettman moved that when
the Senate adjourned it be until Monday.
Simpson wanted to know II ballot was
necessary tomorrow. Bettman read the
following telegram from Senator Perkins
in reply to one sent by Bettman asking
for an opinion in the matter:

DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL
TIMBER EXHAUSTED

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO Jan, 14,-On the four ballots
taken to-day the Democrats exhausted
the Senatorial timber they had selected
to mark with the empty honor of their
thirty-three votes, save in one instance.
On the first ballot on Monday they will
vote for Hon. Abbott Kinney of Los An
geles. No caucus has yet been officially
called to select Democrats to be voted for
on the other ballots which will probably
be taken during the day, but it is under
stood that meeting will be held early
on Monday morning to make a selection
for 1--WE more ballots. Senator Feenev
continues TO vote for John Resented. and
utterly ignores the action of the Demo-
cratic caucus. On some of the ballots
Senator Hall joins him, but not often.
The Democrats are growing weary Of
the deadlock, but thus far there seems To
be no general sentiment among the mi
nority members in favor of Interfering
The majority of the Democrats seem ia
favor the idea that the Republicans
should settle their own family
fight. There are some Democrats how.
ever, who do not feel this way, and who
are ready at any time to offset the votes
of any Democratic members who NAV he
unduly Influenced to vote for a Reni1hIi
can. This fact is known to the Burns
push, and it is not pleasant information

he was every inch man.
Until the voters of my Assembly
district indicate to me beyond any
doubt that they desire me to change
my vote from General Barnes to some
other Senatorial candidate 1 do not
propose TO do So" said Mr.. Knights to
a representative of The Call. Last
evening after the County Committee
ha6 Endorsed Colonel Burns / believed
that it was an expression which l
should heed. 1 was taken to Colonel
Burns and presented to him. said to
him that / would cast my vote for him
to-day. l fully intended to do so. But
this morning ] was waited upon by a
company of gentlemen, constituents of
mine, sufficient in numbers-of unques-
toned character and standing-to sat
isfy me that they spoke for the district.
They requested me to continue to vote
for General Barnes. I informed them
that l would do so, because l felt con-
fident from their representative char
acter they expressed the true and unz
biased wishes Of my people.
'I propose to continue in my present
course until it is demonstrated to my
satisfaction that my constituents want
me to change. When l am satisfied
that they desire that 1 should support
some other candidate then l will do so,
but not till then.
Il do not propose to do the bidding of
any corporation as long as l am in this
Legislature. The best way to determine
the sentiment of the people of my dis
trict as to whether or not l should
change my vote is by a mass meeting
of the representative men of the dis
trict. BY the action of that mass-meet-
ing. if it is a representative gathering,
I would be largely guided. But l am
not going to be duped, bulldosed or
coerced."
This is the statement of a brave
courageous and honorable man who is
striving to do his full duty as he sees
it and who will not be led astray by
Herrin and his gang of political high
binders.
