san Francisco. who viii be in the run
ming for surveyor
NO FIGHT FOR CONTROLLER
As matter Of fact there will be
no democratic nominee for the Office
OF controller, even though the state
ticket is looked upon as full one.
i has been understood from the be-
ginning that unless some democrat par
ticClsriy desired to try for this place
the psrty leaders would discourage any
contest for the ONCE and would infiu-
ence The party vote in favor of Con-
1roller Ns-e
With the state. ticket in shape the
circulating OF nominating petitions for
the entire list Of candidates will begin
5ust as soon as the blanks can be put
into the hands Of the various county
clsirmen. who will have charge of the
actual work. The petitions are being
bound into bolzs containing one blank
for each candidate so that the petitions
for all the candidates may be signed at
once.
BELL WITHOUT OPPONENT
So far no contest has developed for
any position on the state ticket proper
nor is any in sight. despite the recur-
rent fUrries and rumors regarding pos
sible gubernatorial aspirants to oppose
Theodore A. Bell
Not only is the democratic state
ticket filed out. but complete list of
congressional nominees is well on the
way. With one or two exceptions the
candidates are practically settled, and
here, too, there is little promise of any
party contest for nominations
Judge John E. Raker of Afodoc county
has had his nominating petitions as
congressional candidate from the first
district in the field for more than
week. In the second district /. w.
Zumwalt Of Coiusa is ready for the
fray, although the formal announce
ment Of his candidacy has not been
made.
TWO DISTRICTS HAVE BLANKS
The third congressional district can
didscy is still an open question. with no
ore clamoring for the job. Wilbur L.
: n. ~ MS evfr
boost by the Solano county papers, but
has personally failed 70 show any signs
OF coming to the front, and no other
possible candidate has been mentioned
seriously. Walter Macarthur is al
ready active in the fourth district, but
the fifth is an unsettled proposition.
George A Tracy, vice president of
the international typographical union,
who agreed several days ago to con-
slider the advisability Of taking up the
fifth district congressional fight on the
democratic ticket, has not yet sane
toned the use Of his name. William A
Cole, a member Of the carpenters union
and OF the national executive commit
te OF carpenters, also has been talked
OF in democratic circles Although a.
strong union labor man, he is still
counted IN the ranks of democracy and
might be persuaded to fight under the
Bourbon banner.
POSITION FOR CARTWRIGHT
Efforts in the sixth congressional
district are still being directed toward
persuading State Senator George w
Cartwright TO make the fight, but the
feeling is openly expressed by many
stanch democrats that Cartwright is of
more value to his party in his present
position than he would be in congress
should he succeed in winning the cleo
lion. Unless Cartwright runs the most
likely candidate for the place is James
3. Holohan Of Watsonville.
Prof Lorin A. Handley of Occidental
college in Los Angeles will be the dem
ocrstic candidate for congress from the
seventh congressional district. No can
dioate has been announced from the
eighth district, but the two most prom
inently spoken Of are Judge Lamme of
San Diego and Judge B. F. Thomas of
Santa Cruz.
RAILROAD BILL FIGHT
The first and second districts are
already represented by democrats in
the railroad commission contest. but
the third is unsettled. Fred S. Ram
n1ers is out as a candidate in the First
district. while Barclay Henley has an
.nounced his candidacy for the position
of commissioner from the Second dis
trict
One of three men, all Of whom have
been generally discussed. will prob
ably take up the fight in the third dis
trict before the end OF another week.
The three mentioned are Joseph A.
Cali Of Los Angeles, who has been for
years a railroad and land attorney:
Ed White of Santa Cruz, who has been
prominent in local politics, and w. c.
we'll OF Stockton, who has had exten-
siVe experience as a shipping man. No
democratic candidates have been an
nounced for any places on the state
board Of equalization.
A meeting OF San Francisco demo-
Gratis has been called for Tuesday even
ing at the Argonaut hotel for the pur-
pose OF forming a local Bell-Spellacy
club. Permanent organization will be
perfected probably at this meeting and
the question of opening headquarters
Will be discussed.
CURRY AGAINST JOHNSON
Charles r. Curry, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
came into San Francisco yesterday
fresh from q trip through the northern
counties of the state. convinced that
his only opponent really worth men
tioning in the gubernatoriaI race is
Hiram ". Johnson. Curry does not
admit that Johnson has a cbaure fn
