BOURBON NATIONAL
CHAIRMAN COMING
Congressman James A. Lloyd Is
Due in This City on Next
Saturday
Democratic Judiciary Situation
Simplified by Withdrawal
of GOldstOne

The democratic situation is to be en-
livened on Saturday by the arrival of
Congressman James A. Lloyd, chair
man of the democratic national con-
gressional committee. Upon Lloyds
shoulders rests responsibility for reali-
cation of the immediate democratic
hope-the election of a bourbon ma
jority in the next house of representa-
tives.
According to the democratic cam
paign managers. Lloyd is anxious to
meet the largest possible number of
Caiifornis's leading bourbons. That his
desire may be accomplished in part, the
local managers have planned an all
day reception for him. The reception,
which will be distinctly informal. viii
be rendered at the Argonaut hotel. 1t
viii continue from 10 o'clock Saturday
morning throughout the day.
The local judiciary situa tion. is so
far as IL concerns the democratic party,
has been sinplified by Louis Goldstone's g
decision to abandon his campaign for
nomination to the superior bench. In a
letter TO The Call Goldstone Announces
that he has decided to withdraw. He
gives as his reasons recent develop
fairs and an unwillingness to sacrifice
the interests of others to his lauda BILE
ambition TO wear the ermine
The withdrawal of Goldstone, which
was accomplished without difficulty.
since he had not completed his filing,
leaves the fight for the four democratic
nominations to Judges J. NJ. Seawell,
Frank J. Murasky, George II. Cabaniss
and w. Z. White and former Judge
James 6. Mcguire.
The local legislative situation has
attracted but little democratic pri-
mary interest In one senatorial dis
trict and seven assembly districts there
are no democratic aspirants for nomi-
nation. In three assembly districts
there are two handed contests and in
eight assembly districts lone candidates
will receive the democratic nomina-
tions by default. The twenty second
district presents the only democratic
contest for nomination to the upper
house of the legislature. The repub-
lican situation in that district is so
complex that both Neil T. Duffy and
Edwin e Grant want the honor of
trying conclusions with the successful
republican. No democrat has present
ed himself for senatorial nomination in
the twenty-fourth district. Thomas
Seary and Tom Kennedy are the lone
democratic senatorial aspirants in the
eighteenth and twentieth districts re-
spectively.
in the twenty eighth, thirty second,
thirty-fifth, thirty sixth, forty first,
forty-third and forty-fourth assembly
districts no democrat has filed. These
democrats are without opponents for
thei rparty's nomination in their sew
eral districts: Twenty ninth, G ii. Nc
Greevy; thirtieth. William Doell; thirty
first, ]. T. Kane; thirty eighth, H NJ.
Levy; thirty ninth. Walter T. Lyon; for
tieth, NJ ]. Kast; forty-second. Daniel
d. Kearns; forty-fifth, Charles Lightner.
In the thirty third district J. A. Keefe
and W. J. Nolan are pitted for nomina
ton IN the lower house. In the thirty
fourth John ]. McKeon, who represent
ed the district in the session of 1907,
wants to go back and II. L. Won Werth-
en- is fighting him for the nomination.
In the thirty-seventh NJ. II. Mead and
z. p. Walsh are beating the bushes for
democratic votes.
