The San Francisco call., 1910-05-01

received no new light on the alleged
gubernatorial aspiration of Joseph A.
Call of Los Angeles. The McNab or
ganization is in no wise committed to
an attempt to force Call into the field.
and McNab himself expressly washes
his hands of the whole matter.
McNAB Is NOT MEDDLING
II did not see Mr.. Call in Los An
geles," said McNab, land L am not med
ding in campaign for him or for any
body else"
Doc" Prather of Lake county, who
spends half of his time doing politics
in Los Angeles, arrived from the south
on Friday. He declared that he had no
knowledge that Call had consented to
he would probably know something
about it if Call had decided to make
the race against Bell.
Il know nothing about the alleged
Los Angeles situation said Theodore
A Bell Il am not worried about the
rumor that some one may be put into
the fight" he added, significantly The
derstanding with Call, and neither the
Bell men nor the McNab democrats be-
lieve that the San Franciscan will be
opposed at the primary polls.
The democratic state central COM
mittee has been summoned to meet in
San Francisco next Thursday. The
meeting is called officially for the pur-
pose of considering the circulat tion of
nominating papers for candidates. That
means that the committee will take up
the matter of candidates, and undoubt-
edly that steering committee will be
authorized to urge designated men into
the field.
AGREEMENT REACHED
The head of the ticket is disposed Of
by the agreement upon Bell for govern
or and Tim Spellacy for lieutenant gov
ernor. If Call can be induced to run
for railroad commissioner in the third
district, he is to be one of the big cards
of the democratic campaign. Former
Supervisor James Johnston of San
Francisco. is down for the nomination
for railroad commissioner in the sec
ond district.
The congressional fights are to be a
feature of the democratic campaign.
and if the much discussed combination
between the Lincoln-Roosevelt lea guers
and democrats is made, it must be the
antimachine republicans The demo-
Gratis big congressional cards are SEN
ator Jim Holohan in the sixth district
and Assemblyman John Preston in the
second district. The democrats are will
ing to stand for Controller A B. Nye,
who is considered unbeatable for either
the republican nomination or the cleo
ton, but they are not out to make the
grand old party any present be the
n nrin viz
anti imachinists. Curryites or what not.
The democrats are of the opinion
that some of the Lincoln Roosevelt
leaguers will support Holohan against
Needham in the sixth district That is
leadpipe cinch in so far as Executive
Committeeman George Radcliff of Wat
sonville is concerned. Needham sepa-
rated Radcliff from the job of post
master, wherefore neither Rowen nor
all the leaguers from Siskiyou to San
Diego can make Radcliff stand for re-
form that does not involve humping
Needham.
OPPOSED TO McKINLAY
The second district situation is diff
ferent. The Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers,
or a majority of them, are opposed to
McKinlay. So, too, are some of the
most prominent organization republic
ans in the district. Their opposition
does not Involve any compact with the
democrats. And, at that. it is a safe
bet that if Preston runs for congress
he will make fight for Preston and
for Preston only.
Walter Macarthur and Judge James
G, Mcguire are prominently mentioned
as probable nominees for congress in
the fourth and fifth districts, respec-
lively. The democrats fifth district
hopes are based on the belief that
Hayes will be defeated by Dawson for
