DON'T AGREE ON DELEGATES TO CHICAGO REPUBLICANS AND PROGRESIVES TALK OF HARMONY IN PEACE CONFERENCE AT SAN FRANCISCO CONVENTION OF OLD GUARD IS CALLED FOR SATURDAY, MARCH 4, FOR PURPOSE OF SELECTING DELEGATION Efforts in the interests of harmony between the republican and progressive parties, and for the purpose of sending a delegation to the republican national convention at Chicago acceptable to both, are making, and a successful issue is possible. A state wide convention of republicans is called to meet at San Francisco on Saturday, March 4, at which the 26 delegates will be nominated. The executive committee of the republican state central committee met at the Palace hotel, San Francisco, on Saturday, and on the same day a convention of Johnsonites, styling themselves "independent republicans," was in session at the St. Francis hotel. Chairman Francis V. Keesling of the republican central committee, attended the convention in the morning.

Chairman Francis V. Keesling of the republican central committee, attended the convention in the morning. He suggested that the convention could not expect to restore harmony in the republican party if it ignored the regularly elected organizations of that party. He said that the conference could best proceed by appointing a committee to confer with the republican executive committee, which would meet in the afternoon. "We can regard the St. Francis meeting simply as we would any other meeting of republicans in the state," said Keesling later. "The delegates are named just as half a million other citizens might style themselves delegates. They have the right of course, to place petitions in circulation nominating delegates to the national republican convention. But, it is wholly an informal body and can represent only those who actually take part in the session." While the republican committeemen were in session in the afternoon they were notified that a conference committee had been chosen by the independents for the purpose of considering the selection of a delegation to Chicago that would harmonize all wings of the republican party in the state. Chairman Keesling appointed a committee to confer with the independents, but at this conference the Jobsonians submitted the following list of delegates: At Large—Robt. N. Bulla of Los Angeles, Victor H. Metcalf, Oakland, Judge Paul J. McCormick, Los Angeles and Mrs. W. H. R. Strong, Whittier. First District—Judge Thos. J. Lennon, San Rafael and Knox Boude, Petaluma. Second District—T. L. Chamberlain, Auburn, and R. L. Moody, Redding. Third District—Alden Anderson and George W. Pelletier, Sacramento and Frank Ellis, Stockton. Fourth District—Rudolph Taussig, M. A. Gunst, and Raymond Benjamin, all of San Francisco. Fifth District—Lawrence Flaherty and J. E. Power, both of San Francisco. Sixth District—Guy C. Earl, Oakland. Seventh District—James Madison, Froese and T. M. Longa Visalia. There is on the part of progressives and republicans alike a strong desire for coalition. There is no disputing that fact, and no desire to dispute it by either side. The reason is the simple one which brings people together in united effort. That is, a common desire to accomplish a common purpose—in this case, the defeat of the present democratic administration, and the establishment in its place of one that could easily be satisfactory to both progressives and republicans. "It is one of the commonest experiences of life to see two people or factions, with the desire to get together, struggling on in separate and ineffectual effort, because neither side is willing to have it said that they made the first advance. Especially is this the case between people who have once been associated. There are few of us fortunate enough not to be able from experience to recognize this characteristic. However, there is little doubt what will result unless this coalition occurs, and occurs in good faith. Absolute openness and frank, fair dealing in the open alone can accomplish the result that both hope for. "Recognizing our common desire in the coming election, the only thing that stands in our way is personal anpathy toward the leaders in each party by the members of the other. That feeling is just as strong as the desire for Democratic defeat. There is no use moralizing about it, it exists in both parties, and it is natural and very human. A little patriotism on the part of the leaders of both, however, can eliminate that obstacle." One thing is practically certain—the Johnsonian slate submitted by the republican convention, will be repudiated by the republicans Saturday. MORE CLAIMANTS FOR JOHN JACKSON'S ESTATE Parties Claiming to be Nephew and Niece of Hermit Have Appeared Two more claimants have appeared to demand the $15,000 estate left by John Jackson, the aged hermit, who died in his lonely cabin southwest of town nearly three years ago.

Tenth District—Thomas Hughes and Joseph Scott, both of Los Angeles. Eleventh District—D. C. Collier, San Diego, and Miguel Estudillo, Riverside. Five of these are supposed to be republicans, the other twenty-one are avowed progressives. When the committee reported back to the executive committee no action was taken regarding this list of names, but a motion was adopted calling a state wide convention of 1200 republicans at San Francisco on Saturday. Delegates to this convention will be vouchered for by the state or county committeemen. In this convention the 26 Johnson delegates will be regarded as possible candidates, just as will be every other name that will be submitted. But no attempt will be made to program the republican convention to adopt any of them. They will not even have the status of nominations before the republican state wide conferences. The sentiment of both factions was expressed in a resolution adopted by the independent convention, and by a letter from Capt. John D. Fredericks, late republican candidate for governor. The Johnsonian resolution is as follows: "Resolved, that in order to bring together all the former elements MORE CLAIMANTS FOR JOHN JACKSON'S ESTATE Parties Claiming to be Nephew and Niece of Hermit Have Appeared Two more claimants have appeared to demand the $15,000 estate left by John Jackson, the aged hermit, who died in his lonely cabin southwest of town nearly three years ago. For twenty years he lived in this section, always with money to spend. He died at the age of 77, in a lonely tankhouse, in squalor and filth. He had been dead two or three days when his body was discovered on June 30, 1913, by Jacob Yaeger of Fullerton. It was Yaeger who knew most about Jackson and what he knew did not date back beyond 1880 when Jackson was a government Indian fighter and scout at Ft. McKenzie, Colorado. Jackson told Yaeger that he was never married. It was two years after Jackson's death before there came forward any claimant to heirship. Then Atty. Geo. K. Ford of San Francisco appeared for Mrs. Emma Switzer of Wheeling, Mo., Edward Jackson of Terrill, Iowa, David L. Jackson of Pittsburgh, Kan., and John and W. A. Jackson, addresses not given, who claimed to be cousins of the old man. Thursday Atty. Charles D. Swanner of Santa Ana entered the court with claimants from other Jacksons, no relation to those already claiming heirship. Swanner states that John Jackson, who died here, left two heirs, Mrs. Eva J. Bond and John H. Jackson, children of Warren F. Jackson, who was a brother of John Jackson, the frontiersman. John H. Jackson is now dead, and his heirs claim half of the estate and Mrs. Bond the other half. Atty. Swanner refused to give the addresses of his clients.

Although under the ruling an immediate stop might be put to the selling of flour that does not conform to the California standard, it was decided at a conference held in Los Angeles with State Superintendent of Weights and Measures Chas. G. Johnson, at which Sealer McPhee was present, that stocks now held by retailers may be disposed of without reweighing and remarking, but that no more short-weight flour shall be received and offered for sale under pain of prosecution, and Orange county dealers will be so notified by McPhee.

FLOUR MUST BE SOLD BY CALIFORNIA WEIGHTS State Department Hands Down a Ruling to County Sealer McPhee County Sealer George McPhee has been waiting long for a ruling from the state department of weights and measures that has just arrived, and that ruling is that hereafter all flour offered for sale in the state of California shall conform to the California standard of weight, no matter where the commodity shall have been manufactured and packed. This means that flour shall be sold by the barrel of 196 pounds or its legal subdivisions and that the half barrel shall weigh 98 pounds, the quarter barrel 49 pounds and the one-eighth barrel 24½ pounds. The millers of this state have always packed the barrel of flour and its subdivisions according to this standard, but flour coming here from other states has been packed on the basis of 192 pounds to the barrel or four pounds to the barrel short of the required legal weight, thus handicapping the California millers to that extent and incidentally defrauding the consumer. McPhee took this matter up nearly two years ago and ever since has labored earnestly to have it adjusted, Of the $18,000,000 bond issue voted for the construction of a state highway system, $13,746,396 has been distributed over 1320 miles of state highway, according to a statement made We have several fine Montana Farms including one excellent Stock Ranch to exchange for Orange county property.
