The San Francisco call., 1906-07-31

Candidates for Governor are hust
ling. Warren Porter has captured the
entire Santa Cruz delegation to the
Republican State convention. In Sis
kiyou County e. B. Edison has won out
In every precinct. Pardee and Gillett
counties of the State. but in the event
of a deadlock politicians look to Lieu
tenant Governor Anderson to get in
the running.
A. B. Nye, private secretary to the
Governor, was in Los Angeles last
week Before this time he has sounded
the depth of the reported anti-Pardee
sentiment in that county. The Express
publishes an extended interview with
the secretary, in which this statement
appears:

sought to secure the direct instructions
of delegates to vote for him. although
in many instances. it would not have
been difficult to have done this. How
ever, number of Endorsements

have written the Governor pledgins

AS is known, Governor Pardee did
not definitely announce himself can

the State campaign opening, and un-

desired to wait until he was entirely
satisfied that there was something in
the nature of a popular call for him to
be a candidate again.

TEHAMA IS SILENT.
The Calls correspondent at Red
Bluff wires:
While the politicians OF neighbor-
ing counties in conventions assembled
are instructing the delegates TO the
Republican convention as to the proper
man for Governor, Tehama County is
silent, and 1T is diubtful If an instruct

JORDAN IN THE FIGHT.
I am told that the contest for Su-
perintendent of Public instruction will

pitch of excitement. Riverside. San
Diego, Fresno and Napa are already
displaying a lively interest in the fight
The story comes that David Starr Jor-
dan of Stanford favors the candidacy or
