ROLLS BITTER PILL
The appointments Of Ldndley. follow
fng close on the heels Of the dismissal
0f the three local members OF the State
Board Of Agriculture Fox. Land and
Paine who ousted Lindley from his
post as secretary 10 that board, is one
Of the bitter pills rolled by Pardee.

the Governor frame up the IRE, for the
same Fox. Land and ,Paine and the ap-
pointment ~ Lindley. as forecasted by
The Call is VIGOROUSLY a source of the
greatest satisfaction to them. They
consider 81 I'm the light Of an unmis-
taxable Endorsement as well as recog-
milton Of Lfndley's power.
Congratulated on HIS action in the
matter OF naming Judge John A. Hos
mer 10 succeed Judge Frank Kerrigan
on the san Francisco Superior bench,
Governor Pardee said;
"It was the only right thing TO do
7 never intended 20 DO anything else"
and the Governors eyelid dropped, as
it always drops when he refers TO the
hated opposition. They tried TO make
us believe they would appoint -losmer
III did not interfere. was at no time
deceived. Had they intended TO permit
Judge Hosmer TO sit on the San Fran
cisco bench they would have given him
the nomination"
MACHINE AGAIN HIT
The appointment Of S. A. Crow to the
Superior bench to succeed J. ". Tag
CART. elected to the Second District
Appellate bench. is another bitter dose
for the machine. Booth ind SQuier were
the only candidates for some time. In
fact, ii Is claimed by the disappointed
that Crow was among the indorsers of
Booth. who had the unanimous support
Of the Santa Barbara and the county
Republican machine. and who, had Gil
lett had the appointment. would have
received the place. But Booth was q
delegate and Gillett delegate, in the
Santa Cruz convention.
SQuier was not a delegate, but his
brother was, and he, too, was a Gillett
boomer The Santa Barbara people
claim that il came TO the ears OF Crow
that Pardee had said he would appoint
neither Of the Gillett supporters,
whereupon he went out single-handed
and alone TO pick the plum. In any
event Crow gets the fruit and the San
ta Barbara organization have their
chOler TO choke down as best they may.
The appointment OF Nye was made
40 make assurance doubly sure. Pardee
named him to MI the unexpired term
of Coigan. and rather than take any
chances he named him today for the
term to which Colgan was reelected.
None Of these appointments require
the consent of the Senate and the best
the new administration can do is TO sit
back and see the best Of the choice
things on the State plum tree parceled
out 10 its enemies.
TWO ARE DOOMED
Among the appointments that must
go to the Senate for confirmation are
several that viii undoubtedly be with
drawn from the committee and which
viii never find their way back there
First Of these is the nomination Of Sen
atOr J. q. MattOs to be Harbor Com
missioner. vice John y. Mackenzie. A
like disposition viii probably be made
OF the nomination Of Rudolph J. Taus-
sig. named to succeed Judge Mckinley,
Bank Commissioner. The sudden
change Of front on the part Of Mac
kenzie after he secured his Injunction,
gave rise to a belief that he. had a
promise Of appointment in March from
Gillett or the powers behind the Gillett
throne and that belief is still in full
force. That the Taussig nomination
viii be withdrawn and Judge Mckinley
named to succeed himself is only q
ion
political associations Of the two.

ties TO receive commissions today weret
