says: The trading classes implore the

offered by the Republicans of Califor-
MIA for depriving the State of the rep
resentation in the upper house of Con-
gress to which it is entitled And,
since the Republican members of the
Legislature failed TO perform that duty
while in session, they owe it to their
party and to the State to all assemble
in convention of their own volition and
at their own expense, and agree upon
a representative for California in the
United States Senate. 1t is an essen
tial principle of self government that
the majority shall rule; when it cam
not be trusted to do so. it is time for
that people to adopt some other form
of government. Any man who is strong
enough to command the support of a
majority of the Republican members of
the egislature-eighty-fo members
and not simply sixty-one-is entitled to
be elected United States Senator. and
the party should be willing to abide by
the action of that majority. When
that agreement has been reached in
such council as. is mentioned above,
and the Governor can be assured that
if the Legislature is assembled in spe-
cial session it will elect United States
Senator and enact some other needed
legislation expeditously and promptly
adjourn, he would surely owe it to the
State and to his party TO call that body
together in special session.
Will the eighty-four Republican
members of the Legislature perform
the trust imposed upon them by the
people and which they voluntarily as
sumed and elect a successor 70 Sena-
tor White? The welfare of the State
and of their party is in their hands.
