The San Francisco call., 1906-08-31

Orders went out from the oTSdHlAd-
tion" yesterday that ]. n. Gillett was
the man for Governor. The word has
gone down the line to fall in for the
Humboldt aspirsnt. I am told that
Herrin wants to ascertain at once II
the nomination of Gillett can be
brought about without the assistance
of Ruef.
Warren Porter is in San Francisco.
He remarks that he is standing pat for
Governor and claims a strength of 100
votes in the convention. He says he
cannot account for the origin of the
story that he is slated for Lieutenant
Governor on a ticket headed by Gill
lett and frankly asserts that the prope-'
sition has not been presented to him.
The story is current In political
camps that Mr.. Porter is a member of
the Citizens Alliance: I remarked that
The Call would deny the story if he de-
sired a denial, but he did not regard
the rumor Of sufficient Importance to
contradict.
ANDERSON is PREFERRED.
When the topic. of stating Warren
Porter for Lieutenant Governor was
brought up in Eerrin's cabinet the .old
chief ruled that the first place on the
ticket would be disposed of before the
second was considered. / hear that Gill
lett and several of his closest advisers
prefer the nomination of Alden Ander-
son for Lieutenant Governor.
Having permission to rush in where
angels fear to tread. 1 give this fore
cast of Appellate Court nominations
siding Justice:
First District-Justice Hall. Alameda.
and Ralph c. Harrison and Carroll
Cook, San Francisco.
Second District-Justice Allen, Los
Angeles; Victor Shaw, San Diego, and
Judge Taggart. Santa Barbara.
Third District-Justice Chapman, Te-
hama; Justice Buckets, Solano, and
Judge Hart, Sacramento.
NAMES FOR SUPREME COURT.
Nothing has happened to cause a
revision of a forecast that Henshaw,
Sloss and Burnett will win the Supreme
Court nominations. All the Indications
point TO a close contest between JUS
tice Lorigan of Santa Clara and Judge
Burnett of Sonoma-
1t is obvious that a sharp fight for
the Attorney Generalship will enliven
the convention. u. s. Webb OF Plumas,
the incumbent, and Samuel Smith of
'San Diego will be the chief contest
ants.
Justice Gray of Tulare. Presiding
Justice Court of Appeals; Los Angeles
district. was at the Union League Club
yesterday. He is a candidate for nomi-
nation.
Governor Pardee did not return from
Sacramento yesterday forenoon. but will
be in San Francisco today. At Pardee
headquarters there seems to be no OBJ
sections TO Judge Mckinley for chair
man of the. State convention.

came from Alameda yesterday for
close view of the political situation in
San Francisco.
