WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS VARIOUS CANDIDATES BEING MENTIONED FOR GOVERNOR Campaign Promises to Be Lively — Nomination Will Probably Come South—Estudillo Among the Goats —Campaign of Detraction Against President Taft Deacon Clarke of the Riverside Press has sharpened his pencil and plunges with a will into discussing the gubernatorial fight next year. Whatever Deacon Clarke writes about the political situation is always interesting, but in his present essay he fails to enumerate Speaker Stanton who, despite his assertion that he is out of politics, is considered by odds the strongest man for the nomination now before the people. The elder mentions the name of Senator Estudillo, and while it is true that he has figured somewhat in published reports as a receptive candidate, he is not considered seriously in connection with the office. Estudillo turned down the "organization" in the recent legislative session, and if ever a man was the debtor to the machine for his nomination and election, that man was Estudillo. His nomination for senator last year, in despite of the protest of Orange county republicans, was pulled off by as neat a bit of machine work, albeit it was somewhat raw, as was ever shown the voter in the state; and his subsequent election was attributable to the same force. The people were op- LOOK YOU, ESTUDIIN The measure before the legislature that was really remedial in character was the proposed Constitutional amendment which ed that, in place of the pre-road commission, elected by people, there should be a rail mission appointed by the by and with the advice and of the state senate, removing good cause shown by a vote of the legislature. In striving to define in the course of the duties of the commission gislature was proposed to full power to prescribe such from time to time as occasion warranted. This amendment was adopted, have fixed responsibility made the powers of the co-flexible, more easily changed proven needs than by cons provision. This measure was ed in the senate by the voting. It is a vote that separates free from the bond, the sho-the goats, with considerable Those voting for the submission this amendment to the co-for the ratification of the peers Senators Bell, Birdsall, Boynett, Caminetti, Campbell, Curtin, Cutten, Holohan, Miller, Roseberry, Rush, Str Thompson, Walker and Wright. Those against were: Senthonyy, Bills, Estudillo, Finn, ever a man was the debtor to the machine for his nomination and election, that man was Estudillo. His nomination for senator last year, in despite of the protest of Orange county republicans, was pulled off by as neat a bit of machine work, albeit it was somewhat raw, as was ever shown the voter in the state; and his subsequent election was attributable to the same force. The people were opposed to him. The machine snatched him from the burning. At Sacramento he turned reformer, and although he is not to be drawn and quartered for that, he forfeited the support of men who made him in the last campaign. These are political facts which everybody knows. Will the organization get behind him for governor? It is not at all likely. Will the men who fought him a year ago turn about and sing his praises? Ask Harry Hale, or Judge Stutsman, or Billy Lutz—ask anyone of the 2200 voters who scratched him in Orange county a year ago. No, Senator Estudillo will probably not be a candidate for governor next year. But this is the way Deacon Clarke's sharpened pencil puts it—local option, racetrack gambling, primary election and all: "The newspapers are beginning to gossip about the candidates for governor for the campaign of 1910. The California Weekly, for instance, says that C. F. Curry, present secretary of state, will be in the race. Curry is a mighty shrewd politician and under the direct primary law he might be a factor. The Oakland Tribune gives publicity to the rumor that former State Senator C. M. Belshaw of Antioch is going to be a candidate. Belshaw is a mighty capable fellow with a record for independence that would commend him to a large percentage of the voters. Former state senator, Thos. Flint jr., is another possibility. The suggestion of the Press that Congressman Needham would make a very strong candidate is being favorably commented on by a number of papers. Some of the northern papers have paid Senator Estudillo the compliment of suggesting him for governor. The only other names suggested from this part of the state are Those who profess to speak card assert that Secretary Charles F. Curry is being for the governorship. Curry does not deny the soft impulse and the probabilities are the cal placards soon will be mailed announcement of his can. The California Weekly deems most two columns to Curry dacy, evidently on the asses that the campaign already has. It doesn't like Curry a little says some rather disagreeably about the state secretary. It admits that he will prove idable candidate,and acknowledges peculiar vote-getting qualities. "Charles F. Curry's early hard bondage," says the O'Weekly. "He had few otilies such as come to the collar man of a later generation, but takes him for an ignorant wise. Those black, piercing his do not look out from a d commend him to a large percentage of the voters. Former state senator, Thos. Flint jr., is another possibility. The suggestion of the Press that Congressman Needham would make a very strong candidate is being favorably commented on by a number of papers. Some of the northern papers have paid Senator Estudillo the compliment of suggesting him for governor. The only other names suggested from this part of the state are those of former state senator Bulla of Los Angeles, and District Attorney Fredericks of Los Angeles. It seems to be pretty generally conceded that Governor Gillett would take the inside track in the race for governor, if he is a candidate, and he may decide to be. The statement has been made several times that he will not be in the contest next fall, but it has never come directly from him. His health is not good and that fact may lead him to conclude that he cannot wisely undertake the strain of a campaign. Senator Willis of Redlands is said to have been slated as the "organization" candidate for lieutenant governor; but his course in the legislature certainly did not commend him to the voters generally down this way. A man who was opposed to local option and the direct primary and who voted for the race track bill under protest would not be much of a vote getter in Southern California. Senator Black of Palo Alto is said to have some ambitions in this direction. He made an excellent record at Sacramento. The democrats are not talking very much about candidates, but Senator Miller of Tulare is said to be nursing a boom for governor. Miller is a man ability and stood high in the early in the game yet and time for an entirely new lot states to take a hand. K YOU, ESTUDILLO Measure before the legislature really remedial in its charter of the proposed Campbell condemnment which providin place of the present railmission, elected by the peoshould be a railroad compointed by the governor, with the advice and consent senate, removable, for these shown by a two-thirds the legislature.

No sooner was Mr. Roosevelt beyond the seas than they began. Taft is denounced as a reactionary and a traitor to Roosevelt and the Roosevelt policies. And although he has not been in the White House much more than a month, has not yet had opportunity to send a single general message to congress, and has scarcely had time to acquaint himself with the routine duties of his place, judgment is already passed and the people of the United States asked to condemn him. The accusations the public is requested to believe involve the charge against Mr. Taft that he is an "ingrate, a hypocrite, a liar, a coward and a finished scoundrel." Of all these he is unmistakably guilty if it be true that he has not only abandoned the Roosevelt policies, but that he conspired to abandon them ever since the day after election. For he promised, not once but many times and at many different places, to carry out the policies of his predecessor. He did this in a speech at Columbus, O., as long ago as Aug. 19, 1907, where he said, at the conclusion of an exhaustive analysis and discussion of these policies, during which he THE KAGHAZI WEEK Nearly a century ago, supposed that the trade noWalnut" represented some graphically European in late James Shinn of Niles; some way a nut from franhome of Juglans regia in he called it the "Persian ing also a specific name w/ some way connected with "Kaghazi."

For he promised, not once but many times and at many different places, to carry out the policies of his predecessor. He did this in a speech at Columbus, O., as long ago as Aug. 19, 1907, where he said, at the conclusion of an exhaustive analysis and discussion of these policies, during which he approved them in detail: "I have thus reviewed at great length what have properly come to be known as President Roosevelt's policies and have discussed them with what I hope you will think is entire candor. I have attempted to point out one or two instances in which I would qualify details of future policies which he has sketched, but with these minor exceptions as to method, I am glad to express my complete, thorough and sincere sympathy with, and admiration for, the great conserving and conservative movement which he has with great success initiated and carried so far against bitter opposition, to remedy the evils of our prosperity and preserve to us the institutions we have inherited from our fathers." Again he made the same-solemn promise, in words equally binding, explicit and forceful, when he stood upon the porch of his brother's house in Cincinnati and delivered the speech in which he accepted the nomination for president. More recently still, when he was inaugurated and delivered his inaugural address before an assemblage composed of both houses of congress and the supreme court of the United States, he repeatedly and in the immediate presence of his predecessor gave expression to the same views. Mr. Roosevelt left the capitol,throwing praise of the inaugural address right and left to all with whom he came in contact. And at the depot, while waiting for the train, which was to take him away from the scene of his seven years of service, he agail and again reverted to the manly way in which the new president had declared himself.

Mr. Taft has been making speeches bearing upon the Roosevelt policies almost ever since he returned from the Philippines to take a place in the Roosevelt cabinet. In all of them whenever he has dwelt upon these policies, he has given them his unqualified support and endorsement. THREATS BY "NIGHTRIDERS" Washington, Ind., April 19.—Nightriders are terrorizing land owners and tenants in the vicinity of Harriman's Ferry south of this city. William Schrotncke, a large landowner, reported that twenty men on horseback visited all his tenants and informed them that if they paid a greater rent than a third of the crop raised their crops would be mowed down before they became ripe. Thomas Taylor, a wealthy landowner, received by mail a package containing powder and matches with a warning note of what he might expect if he insisted on one-half crop rental. A few days ago a stranger entered a store at Ivy and asked the merchant for a reduced price on all the carriage whips in stock. This is taken that the riders intend to administer floggings.

THE 'KAGHAZI WALNUT only a century ago, when it was ed that the trade name "English nut" represented something geocally European in its origin, the names Shinn of Niles secured in way a nut from from the real of Juglans regia in Persia, and ed it the "Persian walnut," usto a specific name which was in way connected with it, to-wit, azzi." Subsequently it became recognized that Juglans regia never have been called the Engnut, but Persian walnut should need its name.
