TALK IN RANKS
OF STATESMEN
Frank Flint Will Be Placed
in Nomination by Hahn
and HOuser of the South
SPEAKERS FOR BARD
Democratic Aspirants for Ap-
pointment From the North
to New Court Of Appeals

Assemblymen W. F. Gates of Oro-
vile, Z. NJ. Pyle of Santa Barbara, H.
S. G. Mccartney of Los Angeles, to-
gether with Charles S. Hardy and Gra-
ham Babcock Of San Diego, were at the
court of the Palace yesterday.
The nominating speeches at Sacra-
mento will be interesting features Of
the Senatorial contest. 1t is already
settled that Benjamin w. Hahn Of
Pasadena in the Senate and Fred w.
Houser Of Los Angeles in the Assem-
bly, will nominate Frank p. Flint for
the United States Senate. 1t is the
common impression that DR.. Roweu of
Fresno will make in the Senate the
leading address in behalf of Senator
Bard's candidacy. David T. Perkins
Of Hueneme will surely speak for the
Senator in the Assembly. 1t is expected
that Senator Thomas H. Selvage and
/ Assemblyman George T. Rolley of
George A. Knight. The privilege of
placing the name Of A. Ruef before the
Legislature may be accorded to
Thomas z. Atkinson in the Assembly
and John H. Nelson In the Senate.
Governor Pardee went to San Jose
yesterday forenoon and returned to the
city last evening.
JUDICIAL ASPIRANTS.
In applications for appointment of
Judges to the Court of Appeals for the
Northern District. the Democrats, be-
ing in the minority, seem to have the
greater number of aspirants than the
Republicans, who are conceded, under
the constitutional amendment, two ap-
pointees.
As Governor Pardee is a Native Son
three prominent Democratic brothers
of the order-Judge ]. E. Prewett of
Placer, Judge R. c. Rust of Amador
and Judge c. E. Mclaughlin Of Plumas
have each lined up to their support
the several and different branches of
the order which are able to exercise or
assert various political and fraternaI
claims on the generosity Of Governor
Pardee.
A reporter, while talking to prom
lnent Republican State official in this
/ City, also a Native Son, the other day
/ about the likelihood Of who the Demo-
/ cratic appointee would be, was told
that If the wishes of the majority of
the Republican State officials were
I asked there would be q unanimity of
/ Endorsement for w. A Gett of Sacra-
mento, who was the Democratic candi-
date for Attorney General. The reason
/ given was that Mr.. Gett made a good
~-0~~--f NSNSIN AtSAls anu dIlGT the
/ smoke of battle had cleared away
/ and various Democratic politicians
were endeavoring to urge contest. he
/ accepted the result as a part of the
immutable law Of politics, and said he
was not sore and would not be a party
to contest.
GENEROSITY REMEMBERED.
1t was principally through his efforts
that foolish contest was not inaug-
urated on behalf Of Franklin K. Lane.
the defeated Democratic candidate for
Governor
1t is questionable whether Mr.. Gett
would accept the position, If it were
rendered to him, by reason of his being
in the enjoyment of lucrative prac-
tice both in San Francisco and at Sac
ramento.
The solid eight Democrats of the
Legislature will have the privilege of
extending the party vote for United
I States Senator as a compliment to
some deserving Democratic statesman.
The Democratic caucus will probably
resolve to extend the compliment on
the first ballot to Charles ]. TegRertv
of San Francisco. Later on Gavin Nc
Nab, NJ. F. Tarpey, James H. Budd.
James H. O'Brien, Charles Wesley
Reed, James D. Phelan, Thomas I
Geary, M. V. Snyder, Tim Spellacy and
( William I. Jeter may be compli-
mented.
