w. L. Pelton, mercantile, 1908
Broadway-The time has arrived for
| the most available California Republi-
3can to be made United States Senator
to succeed Hon. Stephen M, White, a
Democrat. Our Legislature at Sac-
ramento should daily no longer in this
matter.
G. v. Taylor, Deputy Sheriff. be-
lieve they should hold a caucus to set
| tie the matter. Some one man should
| be selected. They have been at it long
| enough. There is no use prolonging the
| fight. 1t is disgraceful on the part of
the members of the Legislature that
they have not been able to reach some
decision after all this struggle.
j. j. Manning, merchant-It would be
| too bad to let this session end with
out having elected United States Sen
ator. Some plan should be adopted
that would be agreeable to all con-
cerned whereby this end could be
| brought about. The Republican party
should by all means reap the fruits of
| the sweeping victory of the last cleo
| tiOn.
William G. Henshaw, banker-I think
the Legislature should elect a United
States Senator without further delay.
If to do this it is necessary to hold a
caucus then favor caucus.
William ]. Dingee, President Oakland
Water Company-I am hardly politician
enough to understand the motives and
methods underlying this Senatorial
matter at Sacramento. But as busi-
ness man heavily interested in the fur
ther development of California, 1 de-
sire to have for our new United States
Senator the ablest man the Repub-
licans can find There should be eau
Gus, and a choice ought to be an
nounced quickly.
/ Charles L. Ingler, manufacturer
There should be a caucus because it is
traditional in our party.
]. j. Hanifin, merchant, All Four
teenth street-When a man is made a
Federal Senator he represents his State,
and he is in office to work for the best
interests of the entire country. There
fore, it matters not what part OF a
State a candidate halls from. And it
strikes me that no deadlock ought to
retard the choosing by a Legislature of
a Senator of this Republic.
Frank K. Mott, hardwood lumber and
wagon material-There ought to be
manhood enough to hasten the election.
1t ought to be done without one, but if
it cannot be done without a caucus,
why let us have a caucus.
E. r. Jackson, artist-There ought to
be a change Immediately. There ought
to be caucus of some kind so as to
bring the matter to a head and get over
with it, 1t is a funny state of affairs
up there at Sacramento.
d D,-0o
way-The Republican legislators want
to break this deadlock by going into
caucus and choosing the very best
available timber for United States Sen
ator The people are tired of this con-
test at Sacramento.
s. K Anderson, real estate-Why
don't our Republican Warwicks drop
their axes and let US have peace? There
is no sense in prolonging this conflict
| until the crack of doom.
George A. Smyth, druggist-In the
annals of Republican Legislatures I
have never seen anything so ludicrous
as the present situation. 1t is like a
lot of children at play. They all seen,
to have the pouts. Such sedate body
as the Assembly should be ought to
respect it's dignity and settle this
matter, which has caused a smile all
over the State. Certainly let them hold
a caucus and elect a Senator. They
have work to do, not play.
! Fred Bouquet, merchant-The Repub-
| licans in the Legislature are certainly
showing poor judgment in carrying this
Senatorial matter to extremes as they
are. There is only one way that l can
see to break the deadlock, and that is
by holding a caucus. This should be
done at once so that the many other
important matters before the Legisla-
ture may be attended to.
Walter Meese wooden and willow
ware-The legislators in Sacramento
ought to be given to understand that
their delay in selecting. Senator is dis
pleasing to the pc pie. 1t is especially
displeasing to the Republicans, who
elected Republicans to act harmoni-
ously, and not to split up into so many
factions It is not too late for them,
however. to come together, and they
ought to do that Immediately by eau
cusing on the subject.
M. Jonas, cigars-Yes, sir; say COM
pei them to go into a caucus and eiecS
a good man. 1t is a disgrace to the
State. and it is disgusting to the people.
1t is injurious to the State We can't
afford to have this great State go with
out its full representation in Washing
ton.
Charles Mau, architect am awfully
tired of this Senatorial fight 1t ought
to have been closed up long time ago.
There is no sense in delay. A selection
could have been made a long time ago
if the Republicans had consulted with
one another on the subject. They
ought to consult one another now. They
ought to get into caucus and let the
man who is supported by most of them
be the candidate.
DR. J. J. Medros.-The present state
of affairs in Sacramento is disgrace
to the Republican party. Our legislat-
ors should do something to break the
deadlock and a caucus is the only way.
1t should be held at once. If they cam
not decide on one man, then select an
other. but let US have a Senator.
r. A. jackson, real estate-The only
course for our Republican delegation is
to hold a caucus. This present farce IS
like a Chinese drama, for it continues
seemingly forever. Why don't they
wake up and attend to the business Of
the people? Let their personal animos-
tiles drop. and reach some conclusion.
The power rests with the Republicans.
and if they fail to elect Senator
through their petty squabbles the peo-
pie will not soon forget 1T, especially
if the next session should be Demo-
cratic one.
Captain c. K. King. real estate-It is
a shame that this contest has been con-
tinued so long, The Republicans in
| the LEGISLATURE ought to act as Repub-
