DRIFTING WITH THE POLITICAL TIDE To argue that because Congressman Daniels may have the Riverside delegation with him in nominating convention, that therefore neighboring counties should support him, as advanced by the Sun of San Bernardino, is poor logic and worse politics. Despite the factional fight in Riverside political circles, it is scarcely to be supposed that county will come to the convention opposed to Daniels' renomination; on the contrary, it is quite likely that county, while not enthusiastic in his support, will tentatively request his renomination. But that therefore Orange county should endorse his candidature is illogical as the idea is unwarranted. Daniels may have obligations outstanding, and San Bernardino may support him perfonctorily for a complimentary vote; but our information from that county is that, even upon first ballot, if San Bernardino, which is well down in the voting list alphabetically, shall see that its vote may land Smith a winner, will so cast its ballot, thus claiming the honor of bringing about his nomination. The most friendly feeling exists between Smith and San Bernardino, and he may secure a part of its delegation on first ballot. If on that ballot, San Bernardino sees that its vote, thrown to Daniels, may result in no nomination, it will probably vote for the Riversider, and thus set up the claim to having honorably met its obligations to him. This course may be followed on the second and third ballots, but it is not at all likely that county will long continue in its neighbor's wagon. It will undoubtedly flock to Smith at the first opportunity, and this may come, as we say, on first ballot. San Diego will support Ward, who has little if any support outside that county. Certainly he can look for no assistance from Riverside, as it failed to support Daniels at the polls two years ago; and cannot hope for aid from San Bernardino, as that county is already pretty effectually, on account of political Orange county may be shy on politicians but it comes to tickling the ribs of Old Mother Earth making her smile with the good things of life strictly in it. Riverside republicans in convention assembled Tuesday endorsed Congressman Daniels and San Caldwell. That’s nice. What’s the matter with County republicans trotting out candidates of these offices? The democratic state convention assembles at Cruz on Monday. Orange county delegates will this week for the north. The delegation concludes W. H. Spurgeon, J. A. Booty, Edgar Johnson, M. W. T. Newland, G. B. Miller, Ray Billingsley and Ziellian. Orange county’s delegates to the Republican convention leave on Monday for Sacramento, where convention assembles on Wednesday. The conference will select delegates to the national republican election at Chicago June 21. The Orange delegate composed of Richard Melrose and E. E. Keech dealt at large; W. L. Hale and Dr. Hasson of this district Bruce Wardlow, J. N. Bill, D. A. McMullan, K. Sisson, M. A. Forster, A. Getty, John P. Greeley and Vegeley. Acting under the terms of the irrigation reclamation law the secretary of the interior has set apart $80 of the reclamation fund in connection with the ing and other projects: For the Yuma project Colorado river, covering about 85,000 acres in and California,$3,000,000; the Malheurs project gon, 75,000 acres.$2,000,000. This appropriation leave only about $6,000,000 of the reclamation $27,000,000 to be disposed of. The Los Angeles Times advances as a real Senator Caldwell’s renomination the fact that “anti-Hays.” But there are other considerations Hays in the Thirty-ninth senatorial district, which braces Riverside and Orange counties—the Time be assured about that. As to the same paper’s story that Hays’ influence extends into this county, he regarded as important if true, but it probably the essentials of either. The Times has a lately printing side-splitting political observations orally, but this one is probably the most upmost amusing Gen. Otis ever wrote. Walnuts promise the heaviest crop in years; tle if any blight remaining. Mr. Neff gives as son for the disappearance of the blight the recent dry weather is responsible therefor, and recurrence of foggy or damp spring weather th and thus set up the claim to having honorably met its obligations to him. This course may be followed on the second and third ballots, but it is not at all likely that county will long continue in its neighbor's wagon. It will undoubtedly flock to Smith at the first opportunity, and this may come, as we say, on first ballot. San Diego will support Ward, who has little if any support outside that county. Certainly he can look for no assistance from Riverside, as it failed to support Daniels at the polls two years ago; and cannot hope for aid from San Bernardino, as that county is already pretty effectually, on account of political scores held over from the last campaign, arrayed against him. If Daniels has no obligations in Inyo, that county will probably cast its vote for Smith. Otherwise, it will take its cue from San Bernardino. Smith will begin early in the contest rolling up votes, and will be in it to the last. He will have Kern, Tulare, San Luís Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura solidly behind him, and will be within a few votes at the outset of securing a nomination. In this conjuncture of affairs, what is the outlook in Orange county, which would seem to hold the balance of power? Will it vote on first ballot for Daniels, who cannot possibly receive the nomination on that ballot, and thus repay what obligations he may have outstanding politically in this county, will it throw its vote to the man from Kern and thereby end the contest. There is no harsh criticism here against Capt. Daniels personally. No one for a moment accuses him of being a party to Hays misdeeds, although it seems to us he, as president of the bank Hays wrecked, should have been aware his trusted lieutenant was blowing a lot of money. Yet no one accuses him of being a party to the cashier's wrongdoing, and personally Daniels stands in Orange county precisely as he stood two years ago, politically, however, he is considered as weak and to ask for him just one more term would be tantamount to sending back to Washington a congressman absolutely devoid of influence with leaders of his party at the national capital. In that contingency he would probably have less influence than he has already shown in the house. That would never do. So it would appear that Orange county, holding the key of the situation, holds in its grasp the power to either nominate Smith on the first ballot or to place in the running a candidate of its own. We have in Orange county a dozen men who are worthy of the honor—men big enough, broad enough, with excellent grasp upon the needs of this great congressional district; men who would command respectful attention in the halls of the national congress. We can name a dozen in the county who would worthily represent the district at Washington. Shall we name one of them, or shall we permit ourselves to drift with the political tide, which seems to be setting stronger and stronger with each recurring day to Smith of Kern? If Capt. Daniels has a chance in a million to land the nomination we fail to see it. A month ago we prophesied his name would not be presented to the Walnuts promise the heaviest crop in years, tle if any blight remaining. Mr. Neff gives as son for the disappearance of the blight the recent dry weather is responsible therefor, and recurrence of foggy or damp spring weather that may be entirely stamped out. But with unweather another year, he believes the blight appear, though minimized in its effect upon the Apricots, he adds, also promise well for the most Southern California, although some sections light crop. In the north apricots promise less a crop. The local outlook for excellent crops products with firm prices promising to rule for In Los Angeles the other day we had the of meeting L. Goldwater, formerly connected banking circles in this city. Mr. Goldwater removal to Los Angeles has been engaged wholesale clothing business, and has one of the best establishments in that city. He still lively interest in local affairs, and finds reasonally, in the multifarious demands upon which his expanding business imposes, to callers about happenings hereabout. Mr. C is one of the keenest business men in Los Angeles prophesies a great future not only for that for Orange county and the entire region of California. Events move rapidly at the seat of war in East, and the inevitable result appears to Russia is in for a thrashing. While the M announced his intention of raising Gen. Kurz a field marshal, the Czar on the other hand forced to talk of court martial and banish officers of his army and navy. Straws she way the wind blows, in war as well as in peace the Czar's forces falling back step by step Yalu to Mukden, with the Japs landing in the Liao Yang penensula, and with Port Avested by land and her harbor closed, it net results of the war so far must be with decisively. Russia has done nothing so far her boast that she would speedily vanquish and dictate terms of peace in Tokio. Censored news dispatches from the seat of not without humor.

Daniels has a chance in a million to land the nomination we fail to see it. A month ago we prophesied his name would not be presented to the convention. Since then he has written his letter to Mr. Chapman asking a renomination. Perhaps he may elect to go down with colors flying, and yet we think that foreseeing inevitable defeat, he may step gracefully aside. What is Orange county doing? Do we stand like dumb driven cattle because from Washington comes a faint voice asking "vindication?" What have we to do with this vindication? What is Orange county doing? Are we listlessly drifting with the political tide? A number of our exchanges come to hand with large display advertisements and readers concerning sundry mining properties, for which they accept pay in shares of the company, upon which it is as certain as anything can be that they will never realize a penny. So many fake oil and other concerns have been played upon the simple country newspaper man that it seems about time he acquired some medium of sense, even if he never had any before. One of the largely advertised concerns now before the public has disbursed to its alleged directors several thousand shares at 2½ cents, yet we believe the newspapers take their pay for advertising the concern at 25 cents. These wildcat companies pay cash for everything except advertising. Their solicitors are paid good hard money for talking up these fakes, but newspapers are considered too cheap to deal with on a cash basis. A word to our brethren of the press: Fire these advertisements and stand for legitimate prices. Mark our words, those of you who have stock will live to be gray headed before you realize a dollar upon it. Throw this advertising out and demand cash payments for your work.
