GILLETT NO STRANGER Something of the Man Destined to Govern the State. James N. Gillett, republican nominee for governor, is no stranger in the political life of California. Twice a state senator, who served with honor to himself and to his constituents, and for two terms a valuable member of the United States congress, he has, for eight years been a servant of the people of the state of which he is destined to be governor, while for six years before going to Sacramento he was city attorney of Eureka, Humboldt county, his home place. A REAL MAN. Magnetic, frank, cheerful, independent, intelligent, he seems possessed of all the homely virtues that go to make up a real man. They call him "Jim" in Humboldt county. When the awkward, raw-boned youth of something under thirty years trudged into the thick timber of the county, some twenty years ago, and swung an ax in the lumber camps with the rest of them, the loggers knew him only as "Jim." Rough loggers in those days didn't take a stranger to their bosoms and use his familiar cognomen, unless he was of the right stuff. When he had earned enough at years trudged into the thick timber of the county, some twenty years ago, and swung an ax in the lumber camps with the rest of them, the loggers knew him only as "Jim." Rough loggers in those days didn't take a stranger to their bosoms and use his familiar cognomen, unless he was of the right stuff. When he had earned enough at chopping logs to buy a library, Gillett got a few of the most-needed law books and began the practice of law, which he had studied before leaving his boyhood home at Sparta, Wisconsin. Lawyer Gillett to strangers was "Jim" at home. When the Eureka people made him city attorney, he still was "Jim." On the floor of the senate at Sacramento, leader among the lawmakers of his party, he was "Jim." In Washington, now a member of congress, his associates on the different important committees saluted Congressman Gillett, but they linked their arms with those of "Jim." It was not hard at this convention to learn the reason of this great love for "Jim" Gillett. Throughout a bitter fight for political supremacy there never was the slightest indication that Gillett cherished any resentment against the men who were trying hardest to defeat him. If it be true that the Southern Pacific railroad and the republican organization, working hand in hand, went up to Humboldt and chose this man among all others as the one who might be most careless of the welfare of the people and most careful of the "machine" interests, it must be conceded at first blush that a whole lot of good people have been most distressingly fooled. Four years as governor makes a big difference in the popular opinion. When the campaign of 1910 comes on, there may be a change in senti- H. E. Smith...of S Second District G. W.

Gillett was born at the town of Sparta, Wis., in 1859, and frequently is in the prime of life. He is one of a family of six three of whom, a sister-brothers, the only ones are residents of Humboldt the nominee's aged father-sides. The congressman is best child, and on him for many devolved the support of the family, his father being an "Jim" Gillett was educated Sparta, where he studied law was to get a real start in life left Wisconsin when but a man, and finally trudged heavily-timbered stretches boldt county.

In congress, the present nominee at once became a force, going to the front on the important judiciary committee during his first term. He gained renown as one of the minority in the report favoring impeachment of Judge Swayne of Florida. So zealously did the California member fight for what he thought was right that he brought congress to his way of thinking, and saved Judge Swayne. STANDS WITH THE PRESIDENT.

In the town of Eureka merged municipality, it was "Jim" who was called on to frame and he became the first attorney, serving for six years, building a reputation that led him forward as principal successful candidate for the legislature in 1897. In that year, he served on the judiciary and important committees. THE FOUGHT DAN BURNS.

He has stood close to the administration for protection of the forest reserves, and has supported loyally the attitude of the president on broad national affairs. HIS HOME LIFE. It is in his private life that Gillett is displayed as a true and good American citizen. In his unpretentious residence on the principal street in Eureka, he lives with his wife and their son, James N., jr., a lively little bright-eyed chap of five and a half, who has stuck closely to his father's side through the bustling days of the convention. Two pretty daughters, Effie, aged 18, and Ethel, aged 16, are away from home attending school, the former at Stanford university, and the latter at Mills college near Oakland. The nominee for governor is six feet tall, broad shouldered, and with a well-knit frame that gives him a graceful carriage. His forehead is high, his eyes blue, and his face is notable among many for its openness. He is extremely domestic in his tastes, and spends his chief recreation in hunting and fishing. His ruddy cheeks and bright eyes, despite the tinges of gray in his light brown hair, tell of the benefits he Atkin's Barn Paint Guaranteed for five years.
