Candidates.

The Citizens party met Thursday
evening ut the court house and mads
their nominations for the approach
ing April election.
Chairman Wildhack called the as
semblage to order, after which Sec
retary Rigby read the call. Upon
motion the gentlemen named were
continued in Office, protestations be-
ing in vain.
John A. Watson was the only nom
inee for mayor, and despite the fact
that he asked to be excused from
further serving the town Mr.. Watson
was nominated by acclamation. But
for his own negative vote 1t would
have been unanimous.
Nominations for trustees were then
declared in order, and R. R. Lindow,
H. P. Spurlock, g. w. Suttles, F. N.
JoHantgen, J. w. Rigby and A. L..
Strehlke were proposed. The three
latter declined to be candidates, but
deciinations were not recognized, and
the first three named won out hands
down on the only ballot taken.
Messrs. Ryan, Walbridge and Rigby
were selected as a committee to fill
any vacancy which might occur be-
tween now and election.
Upon motion the temporary organ
ization was made permanent, follow
ing which the chair declared the
meeting adjourned sine die.

An Open Fighter.

The simple fact is that there 10 =
great controversy pending, and that
the president of the United States ts
SO placed that he has almost count
less avenues Of information, both Of
ficial and private, rs to what is going
on In the camp Of the enemy. For =
great many years past the politics OF
almost every state of the union has
been more or less completely con-
trolled by railroads and other large
corporations, or else by political
bosses using money contributed from
corporate sources. In the great fight
for the pulic regulation Of railroads
and industrial corporations the gov
ernment has been very active
through the department Of justice,
the new department OF commerce
and the interstate commerce COM
mission. 1t would be too much to
expect that the great corporations,
commanding control Of thousands Of
millions Of dollars of capital, and
ably served everywhere In the coun-
try by legal. political and business
agents, should not have been very
actively at work to Withstand the
attempts of congress, the administra-
tion and the courts to bring them
under regulation and restraint. But
as everyone knows, the political
methods of the railroads and corpor-
ations have always been mysterious
and secretive rather than open. Mr..
Roosevelts method, on the other
hand, is always that Of the open at
tack and the frank appeal to public
opinion. His message was evidently
intended to arouse the interest and
curiosity of the country and to sub
ject to suspicious scrutiny, In all To-
calities, the political methods em-
ployed by corporate interests. The
newspapers in this country that are
directly or indirectly controlled by
the great corporations are of consid-
erable number, and their attitude
toward the administration Is one Of
things the president evidently wishes
the public to understand. = From

Jockey Club Prepares

OAKLAND, July 5.-That the Cali

c1als OF the club at Emeryville. Every
vacant barn in the vicinity has been
leased by the club, and while some

attendance and made it a difficult mat
Ter for the contestants to play accurate

McLoughIin and James showed a fash
of speed in the opening set, which they
won easily. In the second set Long

but a little hard luck at critical
stage turned the tide in favor OF their
opponents Long and Gardner led at

went against Long and Gardner. AT
this stage of the set the losers on no
less than five occasions needed but one
point. but were overanxiOus and fell
down on easy chances. After games
all had been reached each side won on
service until the sixteenth game, when
James and Mclaughlin broke in and
won the set.
The third set was a repetition of the
second. Gardner and Long established
an early lead and seemed winners, but
their opponents unfinished them and
pulled out the set when they didn
look to have a chance. Long and
Gardner led at 81 and 4-2, but their
opponents evened up the score at 4-all.
Long and Gardner took the ninth game
and led at 800 on the tenth, but
lost il through poor playing. Instead
Of killing short lobs they placed them
back carefully and almost invariably
allowed their opponents to score. After
5-all first one side was in the lead
and then the other until Sail was
reached, when Long and Gardner
dropped a service game and incident
ally the match.
Long and Gardner picked James out
for the easy mark and played almost
everything to him. Right here they
made "a mistake, for James played by
far the best game Of the four and han
pied everything that came his way in
good shape. Mclaughlin played below
his usual form and the result might
have been different had his opponents
played more balls to him. The winners
on their part put the bulk Of the work
up to Gardner. and in this they made no
mistake They lobbed continually to
the tall expert, and as he had one of
his poor days he almost invariably
made a mess Of his overhead work. The
wind, no doubt, was mainly responsible
for the poor overhead work, but at that
il was miserable exhibition for cham
