KIRK ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY.
Denies That He Ever
Said That He Was Not
After Another Term
KATE AMES' TOUR
BY HUGH NJ. BURKE.


PuoIlc instruction, is a candidate for
denomination on the Republican ticket.
Several newspaper stories have been
published to the effect that he was
booming the candidacy of Miss Kate
Ames of Napa. He speaks highly of
the lady, but remarks: Il never said
that l was not candidate for re-
election" In reply TO the interrogatory:
DO you authorize The Call to say that
you are a candidate for the nomina-
tion?" the superintendent said, Il au-
thorize you to say that l am a candi
date"
There are other aspirants for the
ONCE. The nomination on the Repub
lican ticket would be received CRATE
fully by E. W. Hyatt, County Super
tntendent Of Riverside. Word comes
from the south that Mr.. Hyatt was a
Populist and later on Democrat, but,
after all, one might fill the school office
acceptably without subscribing to the
creed of the dominant party on the
tariff question. Frank E. Thompson of
San Diego cherishes an ambition ITO
rule the common schools and attend the
sessions of the Board of University Re-
gents. He expects the solid support of
the San Diego delegation.
KATE AMEs IN FIELD.
Kate Ames is in the field as an earn
est aspirant for the honor and emolu-
ments of the State Superintendency. She
refers to her record as Superintendent
of the Napa County schools to estab-
lish her claim for promotion. Already
she has encountered a few of the per-
plexities and misrepresentation Incl
dent to the career of a candidate for
public confidence. Great was her sur
prise when she heard that old soldiers
dwelling at the State Home in Napa
County were spreading the campaign
canard that she has the big head" An
ally of her own sex. a lady of expert
ence in politics, coupled with patriotic
accomplishments, essayed to ascertain
If any reason existed whereon legiti-
mate opposition to Miss Ames' candi-
dacy could be based. In the course of
her investigation at the home the Incl
dent was disclosed that Miss Ames had
utterly failed to recognize on the
streets of Napa City many of the vete-
power is autocrat of the Napa County
schools.
The two ladies conferred and re-
solved that the imputation should not
be passed by in trivial fashion. 1t was
decided to meet the question with
Miss Ames, escorted by her ally, visited
the camp and convinced the veterans,
some of whom are afflicted with i'm
perfect vision, that her head was not
enlarged, and, moreover. was on
straight. This campaign slander hav-
ing been disposed of. to the joy of all
concerned, Miss Ames started blithely
conquest When the roll is called at
Santa Cruz her name will be mentioned
many times.
NO TARIFF COMPROMISE.
All the Republican Congressman of
California, except j. n. Gillett of the
First District. are in the field as candi-
dates for reelection. The word goes
out from the National Committee that
the candidates are to stand pat" This
means that there shall be no weaken
ing or talk of compromise on the tariff
Second. Joseph r. Knowland of the
Third, Julius Kahn or the Fourth, e. A.
Hayes of the Fifth, ], C. Needham of
the Sixth, James A. McLachlan of the
Seventh and s. c. Smith of the Eighth
may now step up to the wagon and get
their ammunition for the impending
battla Prospects are bright for main
tenance of the solid Republican dele
cation from California.
Gossip goes that w. F. Englebright,
who seems to be slated for the Repub-
lican candidacy in the First, and Dun
can McKinlay of the Second will en-
counter vigorous resistance The latter
is an able campalBner. VINO Is We'll dc-
quainted in every county of the district.
He is not daunted by the signs of oppo-
sition. If the stress of conflict should
become grievous, Secretary Taft and
Senator Perkins would respond to a cry
from McKinlay's Macedonia.
Englebright's strength as a cam
paigner in a big district has not been
tested The identity of his opponent
is not disclosed. In fact, there is not
aF CoO
sional timber in the First.
