MEALS NAME WILL GO
ON OFFICIAL BALLOT

Senator John r. Neal will leave for
San Francisco Wednesday night,
where he will attend the democratic ma
tfonal convention.
Senator Meals name will be on the
ballot for the democratic nomination for
governor. 1t was placed there by quail
flying petitions signed by the senator's
friends, but filed without his participa-
tion.
After his return from the San Fran
cisco convention, Senator Neal will in
yestigate the state situation and will
decide whether he will enter the race
for the nomination and press his claims
for the office. He takes the position
that as he has never announced his
candidacy so far, he cannot talk oil
withdrawing" from the race.
1t Is understood that Senator Neal
considers the Roberts tax machine
thoroughly indefensible measure, and
feels that the governor under no cir
cumstances deserves a denomination AT
the hands of the party.
