the Machine viii Have Every
thing lts own Way at
Santa Cruz

Walter Parker, Republican boss of
Southern California, returned yester-
day from his slate-making trip to San
Francisco.
Mr.. Parker visited the Jonathan club
at noon and later held a conference
with his local lieutenants. He wore an
unusually expansive smile, which said
palmer than words that everything was
lovely and that the Herrin-Parker ma
chine is confident of having everything
its own way at the state convention.
which Will open at Santa Cruz on
wednesday.
AS stated by The Herald yesterday.
word has been received by Parker S
lieutenants that the slate had been
completed and that the machine pro-
gram would be carried out.
The Machine Slate
According to the Parker Herrin slate.
as read by the knowing ones in Los
Angeles, the principal nominations Will
be as follows;
Governor-James N. Gillett of
Eureka.
Lieutenant governor-Warren F. Por-
ter of Watsonville.
Attorney general-Samuel F. Smith
of San Diego.
Secretary of state-Charles F. Curry
Gncumbent).
Treasurer--W. r. Williams of Fresno.
Surveyor general-W. S. Kngsbury
of Los Angeles.
Railroad commissioner Third district
Theodore Summerland of Los Angeles.
As conclusive evidence that Gillett
is the machine candidate, II is stated
that Walter Parker was frequent
visitor at the Gillett headquarters in
San Francisco and that w. F. Herrin
spends more time in Gillett's head
quarters than he does in his own.
District Attorney Fredericks of Los
Angeles has been mentioned in San
Francisco as a possible compromise
candidate in event of deadlock, but
the Herrin men positively declare that
there is no danger of it becoming neces-
sary to talk about a compromise cam
didate. They state with emphasis that
Pardee is beaten, and that the governor
acknowledges this fact by remaining
away from San Francisco.
Ruef May Lose His Hold
According to a Republican politician
who has just returned from San Fran
cisco. Herrn is making inroads upon
Ruef's delegation and that it is pos
sible that Ruef will lose his hold on
the situation at the Golden Gate, re-
gardless of the fact that he started
out with practically the entire San
Francisco delegation.
Ruef and Schmitz also are having
a row because Schmitz wants to secure
the nomination for governor and is
attempting to capture the San Fran
cisco delegation.
If all the reports from the north are
true, Ruef is between several fires and
is in danger of losing his position as
the Republican boss of San Francisco.
1t is said that Herrin prefers a man
who is more friendly to the Southern
Pacific than Ruef has proved to be.
Burnett Turned Down
1t was reported in Los Angeles yes
terday that Superior Judge Burnett of
Sonoma, who was. supposed to have
been slated for nomination to one of the
supreme justiceships. has been shelved
Judge Lorigan of Santa Cruz is said
to have made his peace with Herrin and
as a result Lorigan would receive the
nomination instead of Burnett.
A special train carrying the Los An
geles county delegation and a number
of visitors to Santa Cruz will leave
this afternoon for the state conven-
tion. The train will reach Santa Cruz
tomorrow morning at o'clock and the
delegation will attend the closing ses-
sion of the state Republican leag que
convention.
