That sort of thing really has no
bearing on the necessity of cutting up
all the pie in sight and Leavitt intro
duced resolutions today adding the
names of three more patriots to the
roll. They are to be porters and the
Alameda Senator made 1t plain that
their salaries would come out of the
regular allotment.
PROTEST is IN VAIN
Caminetti objected to the word al
lotment, but Leavitt was equal to the
occasion. He substituted the word
patronage" for allotment" and with
discourtesy suggested to the Amador
Democrat that as a member of the
minority his interest in these little
matters was ill-timed. The organiza-
tion had pudding with few plums left

the courts decided that McCabe had
been Commissioner all the time. Now
he wants the Legislature to appropriate
for him an amount equal to what he
would have received had not Shortridge
beaten him to the vouchers.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. Ito break
what he says practically amounts to a
monopoly of pulpiteers in and around
Sacramento on the chaplaincy of the
Senate, Senator ]. p. Irish of Downie-
VILE has introduced bill providing
for the increasing of the salary of that
office from s4 to $6 a day.
Chaplain Darling comes from Shasta,
and has been busy after prayers each
day lobbying for the proposed boost.
Senator Irish declares. however, that
his reason for introducing the bill was
to attract outside clergymen as can6i-
dates for the chaplaincy.
Heretofore the salary has been so
meager that no one but Sacramento
clergymen have sought the appoint
ment," he said.
Chaplain Darling has gray hair and
can tell droll stories. The Senators
like him, but most of them think his
present salary is ample with the riot
of patronage now on, however, he may
be able to eventually convince them
that his daily supplication is really
worth more money.

city and town officers. The whole
question Of nominations for United
States Senators and State officers is
destepped-omited. And the only
methods provided for getting the names
Of candidates on the primary election
tickets are through the use Of stickers
or pencils in the hands of the voters
This IS a slovenly provision. While
other States have naturally enough
seen fit to make provision for the in
sertion of the names of the voters
choice for the nomination for certain
Offices. to enact a law which provides
no orderly and prescribed method for
placing the names of candidates for
nomination on the tickets is to invite
chaos and put a premium on the very
evil that the bosses are wont tear
fully to anticipate, a multiplicity of
irresponsible candidates and the GER
tainty of plurality nominations.
The Savage bill provides a system Of
partisan registration to be completed
at least twenty-five days prior 10 a
primary election and makes such regis
tration prerequisite to participation in
the primary election. It also provides
for separate partisan ballots and af-
fords ample recognition of party or
gahization. In fact, it IS strong in its
provisions touching the integrity of
parties and weak in fits provisions for
the protection of the voter and the
rights of candidates.
Its provisions so far as they go are
taken from a good law, and with the
addition Of the provisions OF the parent
law omitted this bill could be made
into a satisfactory law with compara-
tive ease. IT cannot fail to serve one
good purpose II the members of the
Assembly and Senators will take the
pains to study II. II Will serve as an
excellent educator and be Of assistance
to those legislators who are honestly
in search of the zeal direct primary
That II is incomplete and
that II cannot be enacted into valid
law for at least two years are facts
that do not in the least disprove that it
has much real merit.
