PUBLIC PRINTING BIDS
OPENED BY SUPERVISORS
Contract Awarded to Post
to Be Contested at
Next Meeting

Bids for the public printing for the
year beginning April l were opened
yesterday by the Board Of Supervisors
and an ordinance awarding the con-
tract to the Evening Post was passed
TO print Before the measure comes up
for final passage next week written
objections to the award, based upon
several grounds, will be fled by one or
more of the unsuccessful bidders, and
the contest will be waged in the meet
ing of the whole board.
The bid of the Post was S5 cents per
square; The Calls bid was SO cents
and the Bulletins ~ cents. The Daily
Journal Of Commerce offered TO do tho
printing for IA cents per square, but
Mayor Schmitz ruled that the bid
should not be considered, as the speci-
fcations had not been complied with in
that the Journal of Commerce did not
accompany it's bid with an affidavit of
circulation
The managers OF the bidding papers
and their attorneys were present at the
proceedings and inspected the bids.
Supervisor Rea suggested that the bids
be referred to the printing committee
for consideration, but Gallagher. as
spokesman for the programme. insisted
that the board should consider the mat
ter at once and that after the award
had been passed to print objections
might be filed for consideration at the
next meeting. After that the proceed
ing were perfunctory, and, with the
Journal Of Commerce bid ruled out, a
motion to award the contract TO the
Post met with no dissent.
Justus Wardell, manager Of the Jour
nal, was of the opinion that snap Judg-
ment had been taken against him, de-
claring that the printed call for bids
did not mention the requirement of an
AFFIDAVIT OF circulation. He demanded
a right to a hearing and to be repre-
sented by an attorney.
Attorney Albert NJ Johnson gave no.
tice that his objections. in behalf of
The Call TO the Posts award, would be
formulated in writing and presented
as soon as possible.

ROOSEVELT DROPS BOLT
INTO OHIO MACHINE.
Appointment of New Judge
Severely Jolts Boss
Foraker
LEADERS TAKE SIDES
Presidential Campaign Is
Said to Be at the
Bottom of 1t
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL


WASHINGTON, March 1s.-President
Roosevelt defied Senator Foraker and
the Foraker-Diek machine in Ohio to-
night by deciding to appoint John G.
Satter of Columbus, United States
Judge of the Southern District Of Ohio.
This action is regarded here as sure
to intensity the feeling between the ad-
ministration and Senator Foraker, and
as deliberate invitation for the Presi-
dents friends in Ohio to align them
selves behind Senator Taft as Ohto's
choice for the Presidency.
Friends of Foraker say 1t is open de-
fiance Of the patronage rights of the
Ohio Senator. of the State Organization,
and of the representatives In Congress
They say Senators Foraker and Dick
and eleven members of the House of
Representatives indorsed the candi-
dacy of former Judge ]. ]. Adams of
GAINESVILLE, and in view of the fact that
Senator Foraker passed the bill estab-
fishing the new district his recon-
mendation should have been accepted
by the President
There are twenty Republicans from
Ohio, and no statement is made as to
why the other nine members failed to
follow Foraker and indorse Judge
Adams candidacy. The understanding
is that most of these nine members
have decided to cast their lot in the
coming struggle over the Ohio delega-
tion with President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Taft.

Vote Will Be Taken at
Tonopah Tonight to End
Labor Strife

TONOPAH. March 1s.-The battle be-
tween the Industrial Workers of
the World agitators and the miners
will be settled so far as this
camp is concerned tomorrow night,
when the regular meeting of the
miners union will be held. At that
meeting the miners, who will all be
present. as the mines of the whole sec
tion Will be closed down in order to allow
them to vote, will declare themselves
either for or against the Industrial
Workers of the World If the men re-
pudiate the. agitators the mines will
open as usual on Wednesday morning
and all will be well. If the men sup
port the disturbers the mines of the
Tonopah district will remain closed un-
til the operators choose to open them
again with nonunion help under the
protection Of Federal troops. This is
the fixed resolve of the Tonopah Mine
Operators Association.
The Industrial Workers of the
World has been steadily losing
strength in this city since L. c. Bran
zon, the fearless proprietor of the Daily
Sun, declared war upon the organiza-
tion last summer. 1t is confidently
believed that the agitators will receive
their quietus tomorrow night

TELEGRAM CAMPAIGN
ANNOYS THE GOVERNOR
Gillett Incensed by Requests
to Sign Pacific Coast
Exposition Bill
MESSAGES ALL ALIKE
Executive Says Promise Not
to Approve Was Given
to Legislature
MESSAGES ALL ALIKE

SACRAMENTO. March 1s.-Governor
Gillett says he will not under any cir
cumstances sign the bill known as the
Pacific Coast Exposition bill, which
provides for an appropriation of S., ,000,-
600 to be raised during the next two
years, with two additional millions to
be collected from the taxpayers during
the following four years that will in
rervene before the proposed fair.
He says that had 1t not been that
those interested in the project have
instituted a telegram campaign to COM
pei him to sign the bill, it would have
been quietly pocketed, and later he
would have set forth his reasons for so
doing in a public statement
In fact, this was the programme from
the first, he says. for the bill would
never have passed the Legislature had
he not given his positive assurance that
ii would not be signed, and it was only
passed in order not to give the exposi-
tion a black eye. The Governor says
that it is too early to make prepera-
tions for a fair to be held six years
hence.
In making a statement of his inten-
tions toward the bill at this time the
Governor says he does so because he
is incensed at the telegram campaign,
Wnlcn, ne declares, mas Deen instituted
by Rufus P. Jennings of San Fran
cisco to compel his signature.
Hundreds of kilograms from all parts
of the State have been launched at the
Governor and hundreds of them lie
piled up on the tables in his Office un-
opened. The tenor of all of them is
alike.
"Our people want you to sign the
Pacific Coast Exposition BILL" they

yesterday all read the same.
