GREEN RIVER, Wyo., June 29.-
Things are warming up on the Hearst
special from California-not on account
/ of the weather, which has been really
pleasant for the alkan wastes the train
has been passing over, but an under
current Of things doin " in the dele
cation politics is decidedly noticeable.
NJ. F. Tarpey, Mr.. Hearst's Western
representative, seemingly has the sit
uation well in hand, and the McNabites
are apparently debating whether it
wouldn't be wiser to follow their chiefs
| illustrious example and give their whis-
pering boss the double cross and pos
sibly thus succeed in breaking in on
some of the good things the delegation
has to give out. Tarpey has too vivid
a recollection of recent trusts reposed
| In the willy Scotchman. and his follow
| ing, though. to be easily persuaded to
I take their promises to deal fair"
After Santa Cruz, he is convinced
that the only kind Of a McNabite who
can be trusted on programme is one
! by proxy, and it is said he isn't any too
sure that wouldn't be revoked if the
telegraph service were little cheaper:
| So. w. J. MCGEE, who is said to be Nc
Nabs candidate for Governor in 1906,
| and McNab's messenger, Treasurer"
fLouis Mooser, are not running very
strong in their effort to get important
appointments from the delegates. 1t is
rumored that Mooser may announce
| himself for treasurer of the National
Committee, but II so his fight has taken
no more definite shape than wild
! longing on his part.
| TARPEY TO SUCCEED HIMSELF.
AS none of the delegates from South
ern California are on the train no for
NAL meeting of the delegation will be
| had until the convention city is
reached 1t is conceded on all sides
that Tarpey viii again be elected ma
tional committeeman, and that D. NJ.
Delmas will be Califcrnia's s representa-
tive on the committee on platform and
resolutions.
Messrs. Delmas, Tarpey and Senator
Newlands of Nevada were closeted to-
day for some time with Carl Hayden,
! the probable chairman Of the Arizona
delegation, who is making the journey
with the Californians. Hayden is par
| ticularly concerned about a plank in
| the pldllOIln OcdllIS Will StpdI dlS
statehood for his Territory and New
Mexico, and supplies these gentlemen,
| already quite conversant with the sub
| ject, with additional data so they will
| be in a position to aid him in the COM
mittee on platform and resolutions.
The friends of D. w. Carmichael
delegate at large from Northern Cali
| fornia say that he will be made 6
member of the committee on rules.
r. H. de Witt, the genial delegate
from the First District, is mentioned
for California's member of the commit.
tee on notification of the Presidential
nominee.
Sheriff James A. Keys probably viii
be selected to act on the committee or
credentials. There will be a good dea
of 'scrapping" on that committee, but
the Sheriff says that is what he likes
Handsome Joe" Simons of Los An
geles is being urged by his friends fol
vice chairman of the convention
"Joe's" friends say he ought to lool
we'll upon the platform, and there
seems little doubt that he will be Sc.
lected.
