The San Francisco call., 1906-06-30

friends Of Congressman Ginett cast
their votes for Sacramento and others
whose attitude TO the Congressman is
sympathetic voted in favor of holding
the convention in Santa Cruz.
The delegates will assemble near the
home Of Warren Porter. but the sup
pOrters Of Pardee, Gillett and Edison
VIII see that the hall is not packed
with Porter boomers In fact the peo-
pie Of Santa Cruz would not resort to
such packing in the interest Of local
aspirant for a high place.
Reports from interior counties indi-
cate that Governor Pardee's admins
tration has given such widespread sat
isfactiOn in the minds of the people
that the politicians have not been able
10 prevent the voters from giving ex-
pressiOns Of their confidence in his
honesty Of purpose and their faith in
his ability TO achieve further results
beneficial TO the State
CANNOT PLEASE EVERYBODY.
The Governor has not been able to
please everybody in the Republican
party, but failure in this respect is
chiefly due TO the fact that the ap-
pointments which the Governor is priv
ileged TO make, although quite numer-
Gus, are not sufficient to give an Office
70 every person in the party that wants
one. Objections to his denomination
emanate from the disappointed As
general proposition II can be said that
the Governors course meets the ap-
proVal Of the farmers. mechanics, cap
itaIlsts and WOrkingmen generally.
Men who are actively concerned in the
development OF the States Industrial
resources are quite well pleased with
the administration of Governor Pardee
congressman Gillett will be home
from Washington next week and there
is report among his supporters that
he viii enter the contest for the nom
inattOn for Governor with all the ac-
tiVlty that he can put into the contest
There is general regret in the public
mind Of the First Congressional Dis
rrict that Mr.. Gillett resolved to close
bis career in Congress in his ambition
10 achieve the first place on the Re
publican State ticket. He is a man of
high character and excellent attain
ments and since his first election TO
Congress four years ago has steadily
gained influence in Washington and
has at length acquired the knowledge
and acquaintance that enable Con-
gresham 20 accomplish good for his
constituents. Californians who have
the interests OF the State first in MIND
hold that Gillett should be renominated
Tor Congress and Pardee renominated
for Governor.
AN UNCERTAIN QUANTITY.
What the attitude of Mayor schmitz
and A. Ruef will be in the State cam
paign is yet uncertain. Politicians who
are wei posted generally incline to the
view that the Mayor viii serve out this
term IS the chief magistrate of San
Francisco and. ask the voters for an
other term Of two years. Four years
hence he VIII be ready to accept duty
al Sacramento as the Governor of the
State. In the meantime many things
may happen which Will have a tendency
to change the programme If a new
viii probably join il for a brief sea
son. for his inclination seems to be TO
test all political organizations by an
actual trial Of membership.
.yhile his ability is universally rec
griZed, his versatility is likewise con-
ceded. His at~.Uude throughout the
emergency in San Francisco was COM
there is yet no sign that his popularity
is on the Wane in the Union Labor par
ty, and surely il is conceded that Re-
publicans and Democrats have conf
6ence in his honesty Of purpose.
In the State campaign this year Mr.
Ruef viii probably do politics with the
Republicans II he fails TO get what
he wants al Santa Cruz he may decide
10 orga nize another convention and
nominate an opposition ticket. He has
played this game so often in San Fran
cisco and with so much success that he
cannot be blamed for entertaining the
notion that 1T can be successfully
played on the entire voting population
Of the State. Next to Schmitz. Ruefs
choice for Governor is ]. o. Hayes Of
san Jose.
HAYES FOR CHAIRMAN.
Politicians are talking Hayes for
chairman Of the next State committee
OF the Republican party. the impression
being fixed that +. A Hayes will be re-
nominated as the Republican candidate
for Congress in the Fifth District. So
il may happen in the future that J. o.
HAYES and Eugene E Schrnitz may be
rival aspirants for the glory and emolu-
ment Of serving the people Of Califor-
MIA in the highest place in the gift of
the State. Ruef, however, Will not
