Inquiry by the Stockton Record: Gov
ernor Stanley has gone through two
state administrations without causing
any friction. The governmental ma
chinery has been kept so nicely oiled
and adjusted by our able executive that
for once in the history of state a term
is closing without Quarrels or scandal
in any department or any public in
stitution. The governor has done his
work SO well that nobody has DISPOSE
ton to kick. Why couldn't he do equal
1y well in the Senate?''
Charley Finch, of the Lawrence Jour-
nal, evidently is akin to a mind-read-
er. Last week when Congressman Cal
derhead's entrance into the senatorial
race was not contemplated Mr.. Finch
wrote the following: Congressman
Calderhead acts as though he wanted
to enter in the sena tOria1 race, but If he
does he will wait -,rtil he has finished
his congressional sprint. And the con-
gresham who stays at home and at
tends to his district in such a way as to
cause doubling up of his majority two
years ago. will be looked upon as
mighty available man for that senator
ial job. And this is little matter that
Mr. Curtis and Mr.. Long will do well to
keep thinking about"
Burns Citizen: It begins to look as If
Tom Kelly, the embezzler, is to be left
on the Republican ticket. If he is left
on the ticket there will be great deal
of scratching, and scratching is
dangerous business with the present
complicated ballot. It will be q big loss
to the whole ticket.

A resolution Of any kind indprsfnE
