The San Francisco call., 1904-10-18
STATE SENATORS.


The Republicans are encountering ac-
tive resistance in three of the State
Senatorial districts, namely, the Third,
comprising the counties of Sierra, Plu-
mas, Nevada and Placer; Twenty
ninth, the counties of Santa Cruz and
San Mateo, and the Thirty first, the
counties of Monterey, San Benito and
San Luis Obispo. H. w. Lynch, the
Republican nominee in the last men
toned district, is confronting a normal
Democratic majority Of 300, but he is
progressive and personally popular
The Republicans are rallying nobly to
his support and the great wave of pub
lie sentiment for Roosevelt Will proba-
bly, land Mr.. Lynch in the State Sen
ate.
Now that the Democrats have aban-
doned hope of carrying California for
Parker and Davis and see defeat for
their entire Congressional ticket loom
ing UP. they are falling back for en-
couragement on the Senatorial fight in
the Twenty ninth Senatorial District
At Democratic headquarters the claim
is made that Ed White, brother of the
late Stephen NJ White, will defeat S.
H. Rambo, the Republican nominee
They say that while the Republican
factions are slashing one another the
Democrats are working vigorously for
White, with every chance of carrying
him through to victory.
The Democrats are finding further
cause for regret in the fact that A c.
Lang, their nominee for the Assembly
in h0 iefr iok
Costa County, failed to file his certifi-
cate of nomination in time and now the
only manner in which he can get on the
ballot is by petition as an independent.
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee has endeavored to straighten out
the tangle, but without success, as the
law is plain and inf1exible.
