thing possible to get LEEDS INTO the
assembly and expect to sacrifice saw
age. At any rate, there Is no question
but that Lee c. Gates will get the SEN
atorial nomination in the thirty fourth
district and that w. II. Savage Is
done for"
IN THE THIRTY-EIGHTH
The situation cleared up in these dis
tricts, apparently to the satisfaction
of Walter Parker, the henchmen of the
latter are now busily trying to get rid
of one of the superfluous machine can
didates in the thirty-elghth senatorial
district. The entrance of Leslie r.
Hewitt, city attorney, into the contest
in this district has caused the ma
chine forces a great deal of uneasiness,
and with two machine men in the field
against Hewitt, the Parkerites know
that the gang will lose in this district.
Even with the contest simmered down
to one man, the fight is hopeless, but
they cling to the delusion that they
may steal the nomination if they get
Sanders or his unwelcome running
mate, H. S. G. Mccartney, out of the
contest.
Reports have it that Parker has been
busy for several days trying to induce
Mccartney to retire, but friends OF
Mccartney say he is not going to be
thrust aside like a piece of political
rubbish, but will carry the contest to
the primaries, and take Sanders to de-
feat with him, permitting the nominal
ton of Hewitt, rather than to Withdraw
from the race in favor of Sanders. All
of which no doubt sounds badly to
Parker and Herrin, and means more
trouble for the dilapidated push.
SANDERS SHOWING
Sanders has made a good showing in
the Thirty-eight senatorial district,
and his friends say If he is let all alone
he has a chance to defeat Hewitt. Oh
course, no one can see this but san
ders' personal friends, but 1t is the
same kind of talk that Parker and 9TH
ers are making to Walter Leeds in the
SEVENTEEN assembly district, although
anyone who is at all familiar with the
political outlook in the SEVENTEEN dis
trict knows that DR.. e. M. Butler, the
Lincoln Roosevelt candidate, has the
nomination of that district in the palm
of his hand.
Sanders refusal to withdraw from the
race in the Thirty eighth district lndl-
Gates that the fight will continue to the
primaries, for those who know NC
Cartney say that nothing can induce
him to withdraw. This, of course
makes the nomination of Hewitt Ger
tain, but even If the battle is reduced
TO a question of Hewitt or Sanders or
any one other candidate, the voters OF
the Thirty eighth undoubtedly Will
nominate Hewitt by large majority
Walter Parker has conceded Hewitts
victory in the event that Sanders OF
Mccartney do not withdraw, and prac-
tically every one else comedies 1T in
either event, so the league is not Wor-
rying much in regard to this tlght'
FOR GOVERNOR
Parker and Herrin are now devoting
the most of their time, 1t is SAID, TO
STRENGTHENING out the gubernatorlal
situation, but their efforts have Sig
nallV failed and it seems probable that
at least four candidates will go to the
primaries for the gubernatorlal noill-
nation. These. four candidates, 1t is pc
lieved, will be Hiram w. Johnson, the
league candidate; Alden Anderson
Charley Curry and Nathan Ellery; N
Los Angeles, as in other sec1ions ol tng
state. it is commonly predicted, anu
even claimed with some pretense or au-
thority, that Phil A Stanton, the so
called ''self-launched'' candidate or tue
push. entered the race to keep out d
certain Republican of Los Angeles ana
that he will retire from the contest on
the eve of the primaries.
When the Parker-Herrln FORCES get
this tangle Strengthened out, which un-
domhtedlv will terminate in the nom1-
nation of Hiram w. Johnson, the val
liant standard bearer of the league VINO
has waged the most strenuous pattle
against the Southern Pacific ever VII
messed in this state, 1t is prooaole tne
machine will have to turn It's attehI 10
to the United States senatorshlp. Ed
win A. Meserve seems bound 10 Hlahe
the fight, and although not recelE Ina
tho solid support of the Southern IA
cific machine, he is getting enough
southern Pacific encouragement TO
keen him in the race and make II IN
teresting for A. G. Spalding, the sport
inc goods magnate of San Diego, Who'
If now seems certain, will also be reg
MAR Republican candidate.
GILETT FOR SENATE
IF has heen common rumor in Los
Angeles for several days that Governor
Gillett is in communication with
certain church federation or club to get
the church support, and that he con-
templates making the fight for the
United States senate. He claims the
support of the church people, 1t Is SAID
on the ground that he stopped the
questionable motives which prompted
him in his belated stand against the
prize fight have been repeatedly eX-
posed by the press of the state, 1t is
not believed he will get the slightest
support from any church organization
whatever. Nevertheless, If he enters the
fight for Flints toga it will add spice
and amusement to the situation, al
though it will not in the least lessen
the chances of Spalding or Meserve, II
they have any. The Endorsement OF
any one of thees three men Tor the
United States senate means, beyond the
shadow of a doubt that the next United
states senator from California will be
a democrat and that Democrat will be
not a man of the Southern Paclhc
stripe or machine brand, but fearless
and Incorporating enemy OF the Far
i+nr-Ierrin combine, a good government
Democrat of the progressive Los An
geles school" and a man who will rep
