The San Francisco call., 1906-09-02
incumbent Supreme Court
Justice Assured Of
denomination.
BY Hugh M. Burke.

sociate Justice of the Supreme Court,
has been placed on the slate of the
organization for denomination at Santa
Cruz. Last Friday night there were
premonitions of the change, but the
wind did not veer in Lorigans favor
until yesterday forenoon Herrin was
opposed on general principles to con-
sideration of the question at issue
while affairs Ielating to the guberna-
torial nomination were not wholly set
tied, but he yielded to the pressure in
behalf of the incumbent Justice. In
political circles the decision is regarded
as a triumph of Harbor Commissioner
John ID, Mackenzie over the Hayes
brothers What the Sonoma delegates
will say over the turning down of
Judge a. G. Burnett remains to be
heard. Gossip goes that Burnett will
recede from his original position and
accept nomination for the Court of APP
peals, Third District Presiding Justice
n. p. Chipman,.I am told. is to be sacri-
feed in order that the programme for
taking care of Burnett may be execut-
ed. General Chipman saw the danger
signals and Yesterday fastened to San
Francisco. Politicians who were con-
cerned in the latest deal tell me that
Justice A. j. Buckets is not out of the
woods.

ONE LEADER MIsLEAD.
know that one of the leaders of
vision on the supposition that Sonoma
County was in the First Appellate Dis
trct with San Francisco. Marin. Ala
menda and Contra Costa and that Car
roll Cook would be taken off the pro
gramme to make a place for Burnett.
The swapping may produce complica-
tons all along the line. The Hayes
men in the Santa Clara delegation are
for Lorgan, but they are for Hayes
first. The Sonoma delegates are in
structed TO support Burnett for the SUI
preme Court Here is a copy Of the
Sonema appeal to the Republican dele
gates:
Santa Rosa, Cal, Aug. 81. 1906.
To the Delegates to the Republican
The Sonoma County delegation to
the Republican State convention was
unanimously and enthusiastically in
structed TO support Judge Albert g.
Burnett for Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court and to use all honor
able means to secure his nomination.
The delegation will take pleasure in
following this instruction. Its mem-
bers know Judge Burnett as an able.
and honest jurist. His long and ac
ceptable service as Superior Judge
purpose, exalted character and splen-
did personality especially appeal to us
who know him best The ticket will be
strengthened by having thereon the
name of Judge Burnett for the high
judicial position which all our people
desire him to occupy. We shall do our
best to bring about his nomination. and
We commend him to you as. highly
worthy Of your support

PARpEE is ENCOURAGED.
Governor Psrdce was at the ferry
building yesterday. He will be in Santa
Cruz this evening. The Governor and
mis- chief advisers continue to receive
messages and assurances of highly
encoura ging character They represent
that the Pardee forces are in line for
fight to the finish aud quite confident
of success. There is an impression at
Pardee Headquarters that Ruef cannot
swing the San Francisco delegation into
line for Giilett.
1t is readily admitted that Herrin can
y
many he can detach from the Ruef fol
lowing is the question that puzzles the
politicians. Herrin meets his lieuten-
ants in the daytime at the ferry build
/ ing. Conferences after dark take place
at the st. Frspcls Annex in Union
square. He remarks that ne has no in
tention of going to Santa Cruz.
At some of the conferences Ruef's
peculiar predicament has been discuss

ton is ready to programme for Hayes.
but the majority of the delegates favor
Mayor Schmitz. Ruef would compro-
mise ON Gage Whether he would ac-
cept Alden Anderson In the event of a
deadlock is uncertain.
Should the organization attempt to
1 switch from Giliett to Hayes. Schmitz
/ or Porter the northern delegates now

! dash to the Pardce camp.
rARKER CONTROLS DELEGATION.
Walter Parker has such complete
control of I30 of the 129 delegates from
( Los Angeles that he can swing the
4 bunch to any candidate for Governor
that the railway may narlc. The pres
/ eot programme OF the delegation is Gil
lett. Parker left the metropolis for
Los Angeles last evening. At the St.
! Frapcis yesterday he told ne that the
San Bernardino delegation. with the
! possible exception Of four, would 90
4 with the organization. Hs,rin. Parker.
/ GIlett and Knight are counting on the
support of the San Diego delegation
4 from the start.
The result Of the caucus in San Jose
4 yesterday and the agitation in the San
4 Francisco delegation to pat Mayor
I Scllmitz into the Republican guberna-
+ torial arena lead to the prediction that
! there will be no choice for Governor on
I the iirst ballot. Governor Pardec has
+ a formidable following of loyal sup
porters and IL he cannot win the nomi-
nation for another term will surely cx-
! crcise powerful influence in the naming
] OF his successor.
! Lieutenant Governor Alden Ander-
i son was in the city yesterday but re-
turned to Sacramento last evening. No
opposition to his denomination for the
second place on the ticket has devel-
oped. John c. Lynch and George Hut

Warren Porter had been offered the
nomination for Lieutenant Governor
by the organization. but this YVES sins
ply A hint to Anderson that the pres
cnce OF tie Sacramento delegation in
the Gillett camp would be agreeable.
