WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS Voters Will Express Choice for Presidential Nominee at Primary May 5th —Many Mentioned for Delegates to National Convention—A Fight Coming Now that the republican state central committee, in deference to the whirlwind of opposition on the part of the loyal republican papers of the state, has called off its infamous "unofficial primary" set for May 2d, voters will register their choice for such nominee at the regular primary to be held throughout the state May 5th. There can be only one explanation of the action of the committee in originally calling the unofficial primary; it was to defeat the wishes of republican voters of the state, who favor Taft's nomination. The machine, which controls the state committee, at heart opposes Taft, albeit professing friendship for him. Gen. Stone, chairman of the state committee, has in his possession a letter from Taft on the unofficial primary, which he read at the committee's recent meeting at San Francisco, while tears of anguish streamed down his grizzled cheek. Stone would have it appear that Taft favors the unofficial primary, whereas, the same having been called before Taft's letter was written, the latter could as a sane candidate do nothing but yield gracefully to the dictum of the machine.

Stone would have it appear that Taft favors the unofficial primary, whereas, the same having been called before Taft’s letter was written, the latter could as a sane candidate do nothing but yield gracefully to the dictum of the machine. Taft’s letter is as follows: My Dear General Stone: Representative McKinlay has shown me a letter from you in which you give the details of the action of the state committee. I am entirely content with the conclusion reached that it was wise to submit the decision to a popular primary, because if I cannot win at the popular primary then I am content to let the state go to some one else. I only count on the assistance of those who are friends of mine in bringing out the vote so as to see that the popular will is expressed at the primary and then, if so, let the delegation go to the man who wins. With gratitude to you for what you have done, believe me, very sincerely yours, WILLIAM H. TAFT. This is not by any means an endorsement of the action of the committee; on the contrary, one may read between the lines and see that Taft is thoroughly awake to the job the state committee is seeking to perpetrate upon him. “If I cannot win at the popular primary then I am content to let the state go to some one else,” and “I only count on the assistance of those who are friends of mine in bringing out the vote so as to see that the popular will is expressed,” etc. Is there aught in these sentences to justify the action of the committee, when Taft knows that the state, being overwhelmingly for him, no such primary is necessary? As we have hitherto pointed out, the calling of this primary at so late a date as May 2d (now changed to May 5th) was simply for the purpose of strangling an endorsement for Taft by the state committee at its January meeting. If the machine were at heart for Taft, think you it would have referred the matter to This commanding physique.

If the machine were at heart for Taft, think you it would have referred the matter to an unofficial primary? Not in a thousand years. It was done simply to keep California out of the Taft column until it could no longer be held back. It was the last desperate thrust of a machine-manipulated body. But California will be for Taft, never fear. The state which four years ago gave Roosevelt a majority of 125,000 will attend to the machine-ridden state committee May 5th. Stone wants to go to the national republican convention as a delegate. Of course he will be for Taft, because he will have heard from the voters of the state by that time. But let it not be forgotten that under his mantle of friendliness to the war secretary lurks the machine dagger ready for its wicked thrust. Isn't it about time the party lost this red-nosed old gentleman? The state central committee at its recent meeting adopted the following resolution: That wherever any county committee fails or refuses to take action for holding the unofficial primary to determine the choice of the republican Resolved further, That the institutions in the original resolution for conduct of such primary, except date and hours for voting are to be hered to, and the republican committee are requested to cause location of the polling places provided in as close proximity to regular voting places for the election of delegates to the state convention possible. All republicans are urged aid in carrying out the intent of resolution, which is that a free exposition of the choice of the legally fied republican voters of Californi may be had. San Francisco's county commission some weeks ago, in deference to unanimous sentiment for adopted resolutions ignoring rule laid down by the state committee, and resolved to call no information primary. Why this was done remained a mystery here in south. Let the primaries be attended May 5th, in all the counties the state, and let voters go to polls prepared to express their choice for presidential nominee. Here are the names of some gentlemen who wish to go the cago convention as delegate large: Gov. Gillett, George K. Mike de Young, Gen. H. G. George Stone, Judge H. A. M. Ex-Gov.

McKinley is railroad, Bulla anti. The district is entitled to two delegates, and the suggestion of these two names may look like harmony, but all slates are liable to be cracked this year. Assemblyman Johns of San Luis Obispo has been mentioned as a candidate for one of the delegates from the Seventh district.
