AN UNFAIR TRICK.
Hints come from Butte Cou1M that
the Democratic politicians ard4aying
the wires to transform the irrigation
celebration at Gridley, which ought to
be a purely non-partisan and indus
trial demonstration, into a side show
for the display of Theodore Bell and
other Democratic aspirants for public
Office. Bells itinerary as given by the
Democratic State Central Committee
contains this significant entry: "Satur-
day, Oct. /, Gridley, morning Irrigation
celebration)." 1t is said that other
well known opponents of the Republi-
can national administration have been
invited to make themselves conspicu-,
Gus on that occasion. There are no in
dications that the Republicans have
any notion of keeping out of sight at
Gridley on October l. In fact, intelli-
gence comes from that region of Cali
fornia that Republican citizens will be
there in force and see to it that a
great industrial enterprise for the de-
velopment of the State shall not be
converted into a Bourbon barbecue.
BOURBONS ARE PERPLEXED,
The situation in the Democratic camp
at Santa Cruz is attracting the interest
of the BourbOnS around the headuuar-
tiers of the Democratic State Central
Committee in this city. 1t has been
announced that Ed White, brother of
the late Stephen NJ. White, is being
urged to accept the nomination of the
Senatorial District Convention when it
meets. He has not consented to be-
come candidate.
1t has been stated that in the event
that White decides to run he must
withdraw from the electoral ticket. but
those best informed say this is not a
fact. They point out that in 1880 r. F.
Del Vale was elected to the Senate
from Los Angeles County and at the
same time ran on the Democratic cleo
toral ticket. There is nothing in the
law to prevent White from running on
both tickets, but, even with this ques-
ton eliminated, it is said the Demo-
Gratis will have some trouble in getting
him to accept the nomination. The
reason is that his party in his district
is split by factions that refuse to COM
promise, notwithstanding the approach
of the campaign
The Democratic municipal convention
will meet next Monday evening and
proceed to the nomination of judicial
and Legislative tickets.
AT the next meeting Of the Iroquois
Club, which will be tomorrow evening
at the new hall of the organization, 121
Eddy street, the members will discuss
the proposed constitutional amend
ment creating an Appellate Court.
