1T Is SAFETY FRS" WITH
THE CALIFORNIA INVESTOR

SAN FRANCISCO, jan "a survey
OF the financial situation in this part
of the country at the year-end reveals
a degree of conservatism which, under
the unusual conditions of the past
twelve months, one might not have ex-
pected to find. The California inves-
tor is exercising in. even more marked
degree, that caution that was comment
cd on in the letter last year. 1t is
safety first in all investmentsf Thus
state bonds are selling on a $50 per
cent. basis. Municipals are in good
demand. The whole tone of the mar
ket is conservative. Money remains
easy" is tie statement in the monthly
letters of the banks. Yes, but not for
anything that looks speculative.

expected that they will be followed by
other protests addressed to the Geor-

If this protest becomes as effective
as that against Mr.. Osborne, undoubt-
edly the chances of Hon. John T. West,

much. He is known to be a prohibit

Sheppard is Mentioned.

In a dispatch from Washington yes
terday appears the following mention
of j. f. Sheppard, a prominent attor-
ney of this city:
The claims of J. f. Sheppard. of
Americus, are being put forward as an
admirable compromise candidate to
save any embarrassment to Senators
Smith and Hardwick since he is friend
iy to both and is in a strategic posi-
tion geographically. The same thing
may be said of Representative Frank
Park, and if the senator's are unable
to agree upon an outsider they might
accept their house colleague who has
tie Endorsement of large number of
Georgia members of congress-"
Close friends of Mr. Sheppard here
knew that efforts were on foot to have
the senator's from Georgia favorably
consider his name.
