v RAMENTO, Jan. The most
81 sincere compliment that was
q paid to Governor George C
W. Pardee to-day was that from
his home city Of Oakland. Four
carloads Of his fellow townsmen arrived
in Sacramento this morning to do honor
to the new Governor on his inaugural day
ana when the neighbors Of a Governor
travel a hundred miles and take a day
out Of the middle of a working week it
means that they are anxious TO pay him
compliment. This is what the people of
Oakland did to-day, and this is what the
"Old Guard Company A Of the National
Guard, and several hundred of the prom
inent citizens did for their neighbor and
friend, now the chief executive of the
State.
The movement started yesterday in
Oakland, when the word was passed down
the line among those who had known DR..
George c. Pardee in his home city that
q concerted effort would be made to show
the State at large that DR.. Pardee's home
was for him in more ways than simply
votes. 1t was decided that the "Old Guard
should attend the inaugural and bring
with them DR.. Pardee's old company of
the National Guard, Company a of the
Fifth Regiment. The "Old Guard and
company are not far apart. for the "Old
Guard" consists merely of the former Of
! ncers of Company a. which has the hon
CT of being the oldest single company in
! point Of consecutive service in the State.
Governor Pardee is the pride Of both or
/ ganizations, for he was at one time cap
/ tain OF Company a and is now an hon
/ ored member of the 'Old Guard" and
} q, o1I n IN &c NJ
/ the head of the State government and is
/ commander in charge Of the National
/ Guard, each member is just proud as
/ If he himself were in the chair of state.
The friends of the new Governor made
haAy arrangements in Oakland and ap-
/ peared in Sacramento this morning in
/ four special cars attached TO the morn
/ ing train. First there were twenty-eight
members of the "Old Guard" headed by
/ Captain Il X. Morse: then Company A
/ OF the National Guard. and last of all
! Company A Of the Veteran Reserves, be
sides many Of the prominent citizens Of
! Oakland.
When Company A arrived in Sacramento
II was assigned TO the right of the line
1 OF the parade, 1t being the original COM
Iany commanded by Governor Pardee.
/ Company A was headed by Captain Z. G..
/ Hunt, First Lieutenant +. W. Petersen.
