DEMOCRATS TO FILL
VACANCIES ON TICKET

Two new democratic candidates
for the assembly have appeared
within the last few days in San
Francisco in districts in which no
democratic candidates filed regu-
lar nomination papers. E. A.
Murphy has been announced in
the thirty second assembly dis
trict and Edwin C. Borden, civil
and mining engineer, has come
forward to fill the vacancy on the
democratic ticket in the thirty
fifth The state central commit
tee has given its Endorsement to
both candidates and an effort will
be made to secure their nomina-
ton by a concerted movement
among the democrats of the dis
tricts in question to write in
their names on the blank ballots.
BY the plan of writing in names
the democrats expect to fill prac-
tically all the vacancies on the
state ticket that existed when
the time for the formal fling of
nominating petitions expired. In
addition TO Murphy and Borden,
the democratic state central COM
nittee has given recognition to
the candidates. of Judge Henry
G Gesford of Napa county for
nomination to the appellate court
in the third district, w. c. Wall
of stockton for the railroad COM
mission from the third district,
Henry Hawson of Fresno for con-
gress from the sixth district and
Lorin A. Handley for congress
from the seventh district
Several other candidates for
state and assembly offices left
vacant on the regular bourbon
ticket probably will be indorsed
in the same way, and their NOM
ination secured by writing in
their names on the primary bal
