WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS What Will Orange County Do With the State Committee's Recommendation For The "Unofficial Primary" The question is being asked, What will Orange county do with the State committee's recommendation for an unofficial primary May 2d to take the sentiment of voters upon presidential candidates? This unofficial primary is an innovation in the politics of the state. It means merely that the machine-ridden state central committee has taken California temporarily out of the dominion of national politics. The fight against Taft on the part of the machine in states north and south continues, although the big war secretary seems to have effectually disposed of Mr. Foraker in Ohio, and the California machine is simply taking a hand in the game. It knows as well as you do, Mr. Reader, that this state, which gave Roosevelt a majority of 125,000 four years ago, is a unit for Taft this year. It could not for a moment think of declaring for Taft, in its recent meeting in San Francisco, and thus add the twenty votes of the state to the Ohioans column. It could not come out openly against the secretary. What was left for it to do but to call an "informal primary" and set the date away off in May, on the very eve of holding the also announced that an meeting of over thirty leagues publicans was held the night before to find a substitute and that had picked upon John Mead suitable candidate. "It seems that Riverside has become so divided that his personal habits used for the position; but we have siderable misgivings about formant's being an unbiased interested purveyor of news." "As to the turn-about of selecting candidates, the presses the Post's previous too far when it says, 'That Riverside broke the tussle all to smithereens andange convention four years made, and substantiated evidence, by the Anaheim Gazette is admitted by the Orange The only ground for such session was the sentence, 'Riverside county urged its coy for renomination out of turp last convention is no reason Orange county should do now.' It requires the co-both sides to break as we make an agreement, as many stanced in the case of a trie between two nations; but in the tortorial case neither side has consented for the pact to be The Riverside delegation for ago did ask, in a mild kind whether it would not be continue an experienced years ago, is a unit for Taft this year. It could not for a moment think of declaring for Taft, in its recent meeting in San Francisco, and thus add the twenty votes of the state to the Ohioans column. It could not come out openly against the secretary. What was left for it to do but to call an "informal primary" and set the date away off in May, on the very eve of holding the national republican convention, and thus practically to bring about a secession of the state from the union politically until the great battle now on is fought out in other states. What a shameful state of political vassalage envelopes the republican party in this state, to be sure! What is Orange county going to do about this recommendation? San Francisco has refused to follow the advice, and there is evidence that many other counties in the state are preparing to follow the bay county's example. The game of politics as it is now being played by machine republicans of the north is somewhat of a puzzle. The regular organization, or the "railroad," as it is frequently styled, does not appear to be taking any hand or even interest in the contests preliminary to the opening of an active campaign. With them it appears to be "hands off," with the result that the organization men are to be found in all branches, or factions, of the up-north machine. At the last meeting of the San Francisco county committee seven of the regular organization men went over to the Ryan combination and voted for the resolution indorsing Taft for president of the United States. Five other organization followers fell in with the Sullivan wing and voted against the Taft resolution. The result of the vote showed that had the organization men been opposed to Taft, as some have claimed, all they would have had to do to defeat the resolution It requires both sides to break as well make an agreement, as many stanced in the case of a truce between two nations; but in the tutorial case neither side has consented for the pact to be The Riverside delegation for ago did ask, in a mild kind whether it would not be continue an experienced proved representative rather try a new man; but the county delegation insisted was Orange county's turn at erside assented. "Thus the rule was upheld time and the Post never agreed that it was all broken to smite." "The Gazette attacked the being absurd and seemed to ought to be ignored; but we do so, if Orange county, in Riverside county, were in the city? Honesty is the best politics as well as in other and the golden rule is just a cable between counties as individuals. It is to the country the United States that, standing its superiority, it justly with other nations; so be to the credit of Orange if, notwithstanding its superior will accord to Riverside county regular turn on the ticket—a capable candidate be pro who will be fair to Orange county. The Riverside Enterprise should be forinst Meharg, the new covered candidate for state The Enterprise charges him being machine-bred, while dorsement of Estudillo, which has a fine machine pedigree fuses. It proceeds: "The campaign for state service waged squarely upon the dom from corporate control of who are mentioned for the offer the prospect of their being enough to stand up for the richest people in the event of pressing brought to bear upon the and voted for the resolution indorsing Taft for president of the United States. Five other organization followers fell in with the Sullivan wing and voted against the Taft resolution. The result of the vote showed that had the organization men been opposed to Taft, as some have claimed, all they would have had to do to defeat the resolution indorsing his candidacy would have been to stand together and the indorsement would have failed. A rather nice question that is being wafted about in the political atmosphere, says a San Francisco writer, is whether the recommendation of the state central committee, that a popular and unofficial primary be held on May 2 to permit the electors to express their choice for president at the polls shall be followed. The local governing body of the party having already declared for Taft, the calling of a direct primary to enable the electors of the city to express their preference would appear to be rather inconsistent and one of the proceedings, possibly the first, absurd. Here's another contribution from the Orange Post upon the senatorial question and the turn-about plan: "The Riverside Press of February 26 published a communication from George Frost withdrawing the name of Francis Cuttle as a candidate by his instruction. The same paper "The campaign for state secession waged squarely upon the dom from corporate control of who are mentioned for the office of the prospect of their being enough to stand up for the people in the event of pressing brought to bear upon the ful one in any issue where the interest of the people of this senatorial area at stake. In determining matter we can only be guided records of the two men. Assembling Estudillo has been in the legal for four years and has succeeded keeping his record clear from a picion of corporate control. That time he has been subjected many temptations and has been pelled to take sides in questions on the issue was squarely defined by the railroad and the people, and cases he has stayed with his clients. On the other hand, the only occasion where John Mehring had an opportunity to choose the people and the machine were years ago, when he was a delegate to the Santa Cruz convention, and occasion he went to the machine allowed the program whole and asked questions—and this in the face ofplicit instructions to the contract, the republican convention elected him. The Santa Cruz convention has passed down in history as a gathering which was conspired under the control of the Southern Pacific company and their agents. It is stated by one of these gates who represented this co- announced that an informal of over thirty leading records was held the night before the substitute and that they had upon John Meharg as a candidate. Rams that Riverside county one so divided that no cann be found who will be accly all factions. Even this is knocked as soon as his mentioned, on the ground personal habits unfit him position; but we have conmisgivings about our inbeing an unbiased and dispurveyor of news. The turn-about custom of candidates, the Register the Post’s previous comment when it says, “This claim inside broke the turnabout to smithereens at the Orvention four years ago) is substantiated by evitive the Anaheim Gazette, and by the Orange Post.” ground for such a conclusion the sentence, “Because county urged its candidate ination out of turn at the contion is no reason why county should do likewise that requires the consent of to break as well as to agreement, as may be inthe case of a treaty benations; but in this senaneither side has asked or for the pact to be broken. side delegation four years k, in a mild kind of way, would not be better to an experienced and ap- the Santa Cruz convention that the delegation canceused on the question of standing by the “program,” and that Mr. Meharg, who was one of the delegates, seconded the motion and voted to stay by the machine. Every one of the delegates did know or should have known what he was doing and the inference, therefore, must be drawn that Mr. Meharg was either not wise enough to understand what he was doing and was voted by the machine without knowing it, or, with full knowledge of what was going on in the convention, he chose the “program” end of the deal. In either event his course in that crisis is sufficient to establish the fact that he is not a proper person in whom to repose the responsibility of protecting the interests of two great counties at Sacramento. If he really knew what he was doing at the Santa Cruz convention, which was notoriously a Southern Pacific conducted affair, then from this experience we may fairly conclude that he would quite as easily be gathered into the “program” camp in any crisis which might come up should he be elected senator. On the other hand if he was not clever enough to understand that he was being programmed and voted at the Santa Cruz convention, then the machine would be able to vote him in the legislature without his even knowing it. Neither horn of the dilemma is a pleasant one to take. We should scarcely feel complimented to have at Sacramento a senator who was not wise enough in the ways of politics to know for whom he was voting when the roll was called; and we should not feel safely represented by a man who did not know what he was doing and marched straight into the Southern Pacific camp. The amendments to the election laws the first ballot he is lost, but of this assumption are not. The theory is that after a ballot the delegations from son states would combine strongest man and cause at the convention. The best theory is faulty and unstable these delegations as a clue, they are likely to have individual characteristics not be surprising, for instance the Pennsylvania and the negotiations, pledged to Knox banks, combining with delegation to help nominate non, but it is beyond being seventy-eight votes of would go that way unless Odell should control it. The Wisconsin pledged to La Follette, wooing to Cannon. As the figures now look choice of delegates is like and the Taft managers are on this feature. Illinois, has been invaded by the strong is the Roosevelt that state that, after Joe second choice of the delegates likely to be Taft. None of sons, so called, has deep strength outside his own Hughes, whom some supply England. But Hughes is active part in the fight for and the Taft managers are where. Laughs and Laughs Speaking of laughs, the rending laugh is the laughter girl that shook you, ding around with some other The most demoralizing la married man, is the laugh requires the consent of the state to break as well as to agreeement, as may be in the case of a treaty be-ni-nations; but in this sena-tion neither side has asked or for the pact to be broken. Side delegation four years back, in a mild kind of way, would not be better to an experienced and appre-presentative rather than to any man; but the Orange delegation insisted that it be county's turn and Riv-vented. The rule was upheld at that the Post never admitted all broken to smithereens. Zuzette attacked the rule as hard and seemed to think it be ignored; but would it Orange county, instead of county, were in the minor-esty is the best policy in well as in other things: Golden rule is just as appli-cive between counties as between it. It is to the credit of United States that, notwith-its superiority, it deals with other nations; so it will credit of Orange county, outstanding its superiority, it is to Riverside county its own on the ticket—provided the candidate be presented the fair to Orange county. Porside Enterprise seems to Meharg, the newly dis- candidate for state senator. Orrise charges him withchine-bred, while its en- of Estudillo, who also machine pedigree, con-proceeds: Campaign for state senator is said squarely upon the free- corporate control of the men mentioned for the office, and set of their being strong stand up for the rights of them even the event of pressure be- to bear upon the success- scarcely feel complimented to have at Sacramento a senator who was not wise enough in the ways of politics to know for whom he was voting when the roll was called; and we should not feel safely represented by a man who did not know what he was doing and marched straight into the Southern Pacific camp. The amendments to the election laws have added so many restrictions that it is hard to construe them in harmony with the fundamental law. The new laws make it difficult for bolters, or those who undertake to run independent of everything, to get a sufficient number of signers after a large caucus to secure a place on the official ballot, as may be seen in the following extract: "Each such certificate must be a separate paper and contain the name of one signer thereto and no more. In addition to the other matter required to be set forth in such certificate it must also set forth that the signer * * has not joined in any manner in nominating any other candidate or candidates for the same office, or in nominating the same candidate or candidates for the same office under another, or different political party name or designation. The signature must be made by the party signing at the end of the certificate, and must add thereto his place of residence and occupation, * * Each such signer must verify such certificate by making oath that the same is true, before an officer authorized to take an oath in this state, * * Any person who signs any name other than his own to such certificate or makes a false oath to such certificate shall be punishable by fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or imprisonment in a states prison for a term not exceeding five years." It is the season of intricate politics in the national field, when the effect of moves in the game is difficult to estimate, largely, of course, because the circumstances that prompt or affect them are kept under cover as much aa possible. That is to a great extent the case in New York, where two factions of the republican party are contending for the privilege of naming the delegation that will give the vote of the state active part in the fight for and the Taft managers are where.

It was It is the season of intricate politics in the national field, when the effect of moves in the game is difficult to estimate, largely, of course, because the circumstances that prompt or affect them are kept under cover as much as possible. That is to a great extent the case in New York, where two factions of the republican party are contending for the privilege of naming the delegation that will give the vote of the state in convention to Hughes. It might seem a matter of small consequence whether this vote was delivered by one set of men or another, but, as a matter of fact, important issues hang on the character and affiliations of the New York delegation. It is quite true these issues have for their basis the assumption that Hughes is not a real candidate, at least, not likely to receive the nomination. This is, at least, a possible contingency, and, assuming it to come true, in the opinion of the Call, the constitution and character of the delegation become a matter of the highest importance. In this situation three courses are possible. The delegation might be named by the Harriman-Odell faction, whose second choice would be Joe Cannon in all probability. The delegation might be named by the Woodruff-Parsons clan, whose second choice would be Taft. Lastly, a delegation might be chosen from men of high character, not connected in any way with politics whose second choice would not be dictated by personal affiliations. It is understood that the Taft managers have requested Hughes to name a delegation of that character himself, but this he has refused to do, in pursuance of his settled policy of noninterference. It is assumed that if Taft does not get the nomination on the fruit interest that it around usism from one end of the State other. The Congressmen from sections were especially interested they saw the officials of the House often on the subject, even going to hold a lengthy investigation of ornia, where may samples of analyzed and their chemical notes noted.

Toward the end urgent appeals were received by all the Senators and Congressmen representing California, from the San Francisco Promotion Committee and the State Board of Trade, asking them to personally urge a stay of the Wiley ruling. Their appeals were complied with, but they were received after everything had been arranged and so were superfluous; still they showed that the commercial bodies are interested in the State's welfare.
