Odom. The bitter feeling over the ef-
fort at county division in the last leg
islature is given as the explanation of
Chambers temporary retirement.
Signs point to the defeat Of State
Senator Lynch of San Luis Obispo. The
determined fight waged with acerbity
over the joint senatorship of San Luis
Oblspo, san Benito and Monterey coun-
ties seems to have resulted in victory
for Archibald Campbell Campbell. beat
Lynch by plurality of 500 in San Luis
ObispO and has probably carried San
Benito; in that event il is doubtful
whether Monterey could lift Lynch's
vote high enough TO save him.
Assemblyman Estudillo, candidate for
promotion TO the senate, has a close
hight in his home county of Riverside.
Orange county has given his opponent,
Gill a plurality Of zoo. but this is
hardly sufficient TO offset what Estu-
oillo may reasonably expect nearer
home. Still the contest is in doubt.
Santa Cruz returns indicate peculiar
situation, due TO the warmth of local
politics. Taft and Needham have car
ried the county by handsome plurali-
ties, but ". Y. Lucas. republican, has
been defeated for the assembly by John
b Maher. democrat, while J. B. Holohan
has carried the county by 900 over Hall
c. Ross of San Mateo republican candi-
date for state senator. Ross election is
in doubt.
Returns from Alameda county show
that all the republican candidates for
the legislature have been elected. In
the thirteenth senatorial district z. X
Strobridge OF Hayward defeated Judge

Frank Otis; in the forty-eighth, James
T. Feeley; In the forty ninth, JOHN w

the hfty-frst. George J. Hahn, and in
the nfty-second. c. c. Young, all de-
feated their democratic opponents by
big majorities. while doodle deeism was
a negligible factor.
In Marin county z. B. ~Martinelli, re-
publican candidate TO stcceed BeIshaw
in the senate, ran ahead of his ticket:
and J. E Lewis, the democratic candi-
date failed signally to overtake him in
Contra Costa county Butler was re-
elected TO the assembly. and the local
republican ticket made a clean sweep
with the possible exception of one su-
pervisOr.
Sacramento will have republican
representation in the legislature. Al
though Bryan ran twice as well as
Alton Parker in the capital. Taft clung
closely 70 the Roosevelt vote of four
years ago and the state candidates
followed HIS lead. Charles B. Bills.
republican, was elected senator. and
Grove l. Johnson and E. L Hawk were
elected TO the assembly from the city
districts. The contest in the nine
teenth assembly district. the country
district, between W. w. Greer, repub-
lican, and George z. King is still in
doubt.
