The San Francisco call., 1908-11-02

republican nominee in the thirty-third.
is labeled organization, but Roseberry
is not owned by anybody. He is an in
dependent citizen, who enjoys the re-
spect of the people of his district. They
will elect him by comfortable ma
jority and are entirely confident that
he will be his own man.
HOLDOVERs IN Los ANGELES
Los Angeles has three holdover re-
publicans-Savage in the thirty-fourth,
Bell in the thirty-sixth, and McCart-
ney in the thirty-eighth. Savage is
just Savage. He is a machine man by
practice and habit. If he chose to bid
defiance to the machine he would do so
as comfortably as he has bade defiance
to the people and Harrison Gray Otis,
who is his pet aversion Unfortunate
ly, the chances are all against his ar
irving at any such determination. Nc
Cartney belongs to the machine. Bell is
agressively anti-machine The machine
men refused to receive him in the re-
publican caucus two years ago, but
he managed to keep them busy
throughout the session. The next eau
Gus may be unwilling to welcome Bell
but the people of the state are glad to
have him IN the senate, regardless OF
his relations with the caucus. N w
Thompson, who has the republican
nomination in the thirty fifth, was a
splendid member of the assembly. He
is a friend of Walter Parker, but
Parker could not deliver him on raw
measures in the assembly, and there
is no reason to believe that Parker or
any other will be able to handle
Thompson in the. senate.
H. NJ Hurd. in the thirty-seventh, has
machine nomination, which generally,
but not always, proves the man. In the
thirty ninth Miguel Estudillos of River
side should have no great difficulty in
defeating Gill. the democrat. Orange
county is torn up over the reputation
of Instructions by the Orange delegates
who We're instructed against Estudillo
Estudillo was an organization member
of the assembly and the last chairman
of the committe on ways and means
He did not permit his organization
affiliations to render him a puppet He
was a hard working assemblyman, and
while the machine whipped him into
line on several measures and he voted
regularly with the organization on al
minor matters, he stood up when the
program was too raw. Estudillo is not
the kind of man to look for trouble
He will not be leader of rampant re-
formers in the senate, but the chances
are all in favor of his voting right or
measures which closely affect the peo-
pie.
Leroy A. Wright Of San Diego, hold
over senator in the fortieth, is an or
ganization man. to whom the organiza-
tion means the republican party Ir
the last senate he voted as he pleased
without regard to the organization OF
to outside pressure. His independence
is of peculiar and individual charac-
ter. He@fought for and passed the di-
rect primary amendment in the las
Legislature. He will be leader in the
next senate and he will make a fight
for the enactment of a direct primary
law
In spite Of claims and counter claims
there is a genuine doubt about the out
come of the fight in the thirty frs
senatorial district, where Henry Lynch
republican, renominated, is opposed b1
"a E. Campbell. formerly district at
torney of San Luis Obispo county The
republicans of San Luis Obispo are sore
over the manner in which Lynch was
nominated. They say Campbell will
carry the county. If that be true anc
his margin there is of any considerable
proportions, Lynch is beaten. Camp
bell will be able to carry San BenitC
county and the two should Offset the
