CONGRESSMAN GILLETTE

Henry T. Oxnard of Ventura County,
one of the leading Republican aspir-
ants for seat in the United States
Senate, is In the city again, having
arrived from the south yesterday
morning. His position as a candidate
for Senatorial honors has been frankly
defined and is clearly understood by
the Republicans of California. Mr..
Oxnard will doubtless impart consider
able activity to the campaign and will
surely use every honorable effort to
promote the election of Republican
nominees for the Legislature It is
the general opinion of politicians that
this State will give an overwhelming
majority for Theodore Roosevelt for
President Indications at this time
point to Republican supremacy In both
branches of the Legislature. The spir-
tied contest in the south between Mr..
Oxnard and Senator Bard will insure.
Republican victory in doubtful Assem-
bly, districts. The Democrats may be-
come SO interested in the Republican
contest that they will neglect to make
nominations for the Legislature.
