Sacramento. He came on the limited train
in the morning with Mrs. Pardee. The
new Governor travels upon the limited
trains when possible. not because of any
aIistocratic inclination, but because OF
the little railroad rule that prevents the
use of passes upon those trains. Upon
their arrival they went at once to their
rooms in the Golden Eagle Hotel, where
they will reside during the session at
least.
This change in the plans of the new ex-
ecutive was made necessary by the i'm
possibility of securing satisfactory resi-
dence in the proper location. Dr. Pardee
has experienced the same trouble of every
Governor before him, and he has finally
been compelled to look to the temporary
hospitality of the hotels. This has been
done by all previous State executives, and
will continue to be done until some suit
able provision is made by the Legislature
for the housing of the Governor at the
capital city. DR.. Pardee was sincere in
his original statements that he would re-
side in Sacramento. and he still holds out
the hope that he may be able to find
suitable house in this city after the
Legislature adjourns. But DR.. Pardee
will not move his family from Oakland
for some time, and the prospects of the
new Governor taking up his permanent
residence in the capital are growing less.
DR.. Pardee's four young daughters will
remain in the Oakland home with their
aunt for the present, only coming to Sac
ramento to witness the Inaugural ton of
their father and TO attend the inaugural
ball.
DR.. Pardee was preceded by his two
secretaries, A. B. Nye and Arthur j. Ellis

~ ALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC
n RAMENTO, Jan. 3.-The United
II States Senatorial fight has not
u n yet been moved to Sacramento,
and even if the Perkins man
ayers were on the ground with
their now formed caucus call the Sena-
torial fight would take second place to
that for Speaker of the Assembly.
George Hatton, representing Senator
Perkins, is not expected until tomorrow
morning, and until he arrives little will
be done. Hatton is endeavoring to secure
sixty-one names to his caucus call. If
that is done 1t will settle the Senatorial
question: for that is a majority of the
joint session, and it is generally accepted
that most, if not all, of those who sign
this document will be with Perkins on
the first ballot
But Hatton has not yet secured his de-
sired sixty-one signatures Those
who are interested in the Perkins
fight say that he had about fifty
names to-day, with the expecta-
ton of securing several names from
legislators who live in the interior and
whom he has not seen, but who are be-
lieved to be favorable.
Robert T. Devlin of Sacramento will
probably be given a few complimentary
votes and he has been heard to say that
something of that kind might be expects
ed to come his way. The complete Ala
media County delegation is not yet on the
ground. Knowland is the only Senator
present. and Mott, Walsh and Waste are

Much of the Senatorial fight centers
around this delegation coming as 1T does
from Senator Perkins home county All
talk Of a break in this delegation is with
out foundation. The entire delegation
was instructed for Perkins and will vote
for him unless it becomes evident that
he could not win.
All of those now on the ground say
that they as we'll as the entire delegation
will stay with Perkins, all gossip to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The legislators

The contest for president pro TEN. of

opened headquarters in the Golden Eagle

800 Italian customers An increase Is ex-

There remain only eight men at Congress
