BOMBsHELLS EXPECTED
NEXT REPUBLICAN
POW.WOW

Sacramento, CAL, Feb. 8-Although
the only statement emanating from
the conference is to the effect that
it was purely social VISIT" common
belief today was that nightly import
ant matters of political significance
were taken up at the recent meeting
of Victor Murdock, Hiram johnson and
Chester H. Rowell at the governors
office here. 1t is believed some polit-
ical bombshells were prepared for ex-
plosion "back east" when the next Re-
publican pow-wow is held.
The cast of characters and the at
tendant circumstances were such the
politicians are not at all satisfied it
was purely social visit"
Victor Murdock of Kansas, one of
the original and most conspicuous pro-
gressives, had just returned from a
trip to the Orient.
Hiram Johnson is a 12O presidential
possibility.
Chester Rowell Of Fresno returned
recently from the east where he got
in personal touch with the line and
progressive powers.
Rowell's appearance at the capitol
on the same day as Murdock's arrival
was not coincidental. This is admitted.
Linking this conference with the
recent revolt headed by George w.
Perkins, ample grounds are furnished.
for an abundance of political gossip.
Perkins, dissatisfied with the person.
mel of the Republican National Com
mittee, has started out to make the
Republican party progressive"
"Got to it," wired Hiram Johnson,
whose chances of landing the Republi-
can nomination for the president are
quite wobbly as long as the present
status of the national committee con-
tinues, but would blaze forth with the
brilliancy of a new half dollar should
the Perkins revolt bear fruit.
Just at this stage comes Vic Muir
dock, successful swatter Of standpat-
ters, fresh from trip abroad. Muir
dock, fighter from the word go, is
quite essential in the accomplishment
of the Perkins plan. Murdock calls
on the governor, and steps in with his
latest observations.
Supposedly, Scout Rowell has quite
a definite line on the future courses
Of the Old Guard, as well as valuable
information as to just whore johnson
woud stand in case Perkins gains bis
point.
Did Murdock give Johnson ard Ro-
we'll his pledge to fight, tooth, to- and
mail, for the Perkins plan?
Did Murdoch promise, or at least
give encouragement to his old friend
Governor Johnson, to work his durnd-
est for Hiram's nomination?
4 The wise ones are willing to ,waeVy
THAT something along these lines Was
discussed during the course of that
|"purely social" half day chat.

Million Dollar Plant Burns.

the million dollar plant of the Old
Fort Extract Company. The plant of
the Central Leather Company, ad-
joining, was also burned and is al
most complete loss, together with
three residences and a number of 9TH

A number of residences in different

lion dollars, covered by insurance.
