CAFES TO ASK FOR
RETURN OF DANCING
TenderIoin Proprietors Will Pc
titiOn for Restoration of
Former Privileges

The glamour and glitter of the old
degree in the very near future if the
new board of police commissioners
looks with favor upon a petition to be
presented to it in few days by the
proprietors of several of the largest
cafes of the night life district.
Asserting that the free vaudeville
performance in one of the large down
town cafes is detracting seriously from
their business and robbing them of a
big percentage of regular patrons, the
proprietors of several places, including
the Breakers, Schiff's, Stacks, the Pea
cock, the Mirror, Hanlon's, Spider Kel-
ly's and others, have banded together
to petition the board to permit dancing.
1t is argued by these cafe proprie-
tors that it is impossible for them, un-
der present police restrictions, to fur
nish attractions to hold their customers
in the face of the more elaborate pro-
gram of vaudeville offered at a nearby
restaurant. This. they say, has cut into
their business to a great extent
Coupled with the petition to permit
dancing, or shortly following it. the
request will be made for a repeal of
the existing rule which does not permit
music after 1 o'clock in the morning
The board will be asked to substitute
permission for the music to continue at
all hours. The granting of these two
petitions would put the cafe proprietors
back on the footing they formerly en-
joyed.
That the petitioners confidently ex-
pect their request for dancing to be
granted is evidenced by the activity of
preparation in several of the cafes. 1t
is believed that the renewal of terpsi-
chorean pleasures will prove instan-
taneously popular and floors are al
ready being waxed and put in condition.
When the permission is given it will
only be necessary to remove the carpets
and the cafes will be ready.

STANTON AND

LIKE bARk|S
Los Angeles and Ukiah Men
Willing to Make the
Race
Each Would Be Pleased to Be
the Governor ''If the
Party, Etc"

Governor Gilletts formal withdrawal
from the republican race has put new
life into the Stanton boom, but has
failed 10 draw formal declaration of
his candidacy from John McNab of
Ukiah
Stanton is indulging himself in the
luxury of secret conferences at Los
Angeles and the hope that he can rope
the southern California end of the reg
ular machine. For public consumption
the speaker declares that he will be
candidate if the people want him.
McNab is in much the same frame OF
mind, but infinitely more frank He
says he will be a candidate if his par
ty" wants him. Party with McNab
means the organization and his refusal
to hasten into the fight pending the ex-.
preston of his ''party's" desire means
that he purposes to await something
tangible from the powers that be-
Both Stanton and McNab have de-
clared that they would run if Governor
Gillett withdrew and both have had an
eye on the gubernatorial seat for sew
eral years. Stanton ran out on the or
ganization four years ago, making the
fight for Pardee. He was vigorously
disciplined in the legislature of 1907
He returned to the fold and in 1903 was
made speaker of the assembly
McNab has always been the most
regular of the regulars He has never
run out. He has campaigned in every
considerable town in the state, and
while it may not cut any figure he is a
warm personal friend of Governor Gil

At Work for Stanton
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

Los ANGELES, Jan. s1.-Friends of
P A. Stanton, former speaker of the
state assembly, are now working for
his nomination for governor He still
refuses to say whether he is actually
in the race or not. but from the ac-
tivity of some so political intimates
it is believed certain that Stanton will
make a hard fight for the nomination
Don c. McGarvin, former Southern Pa
cifc boss, says he will not mix in the
political situation; Walter Parker is
mum, and William Dunn, Hunting
tons attorney and one of the leaders
of the machine cohorts, is out of town.
Meanwhile, secret conferences are be-
ing held in Stanton's office and no in
formation is being given out from the
former speaker.
Stanton says he will run for governor
if the people want him. IL seems abso-
lutely certain that Stanton will be in
the race and will have the machine
backing in southern California.
Joseph A. Call is thought to be the
most likely timber in the democratic
ranks. although no candidate has been
decided upon. 1t is thought the good
government officers will swing their
strength in southern California to the
democratic candidate.
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
UKIAH, Jan. 31.-In an interview at
his home in this city today John L.
McNab, prominently mentioned as
candidate for governor. said: 'T have
made no announcement of candidacy

ber of letters and kilograms from all
