CALL HEADQUARTERS, 13.—Speaker Howard E. Wright has sounded many mem- rived when he must take the initiative to expel from the floor of the lower house the representatives of The - Call. Speaker contends that the indignation arises from the im- pugning by The Call of the motives of members in their sup- port of candidates for United States Senator. When the Speaker gave his warning to The Call he stated that the initiative of expulsion taken by him to-morrow unless The Call would give him - in the premises. The Call proposed to continue in the future The Speaker was advised that that which _/ expel from the Assembly the legislative correspondents of Written documents, s the clear and absolu SACRAMENTO, Jan.

These men are: SENATOR STRAT'I'ON,5 SENATOR TAYLOR, @ ASSEMBLYMAN McDONALD. Stratton and Knowland are voting for General Barnes; Taylor favors Pater- constituencies, and as they have now voted a dozen times and have not been “attracted” by the blandishments of the Candelaria mineowner, confidence in them has been greatly increased. Some of them have been claimed by the Burns men, but so far such claim has been without foundation. The storm of indignation that has swept over the district represented by Speaker Wright would be repeated in any of the other districts should the same cause be given.

SCHULTE, Eity Trustee—Per- sonally I would not like to see Burns elected. T would not think much of Tay- lor or Knowland if they voted for him. They could not compromise themselves :g{io:{ the people of this city by any such publican party in this State will go to —— and if Taylor or Knowland should vote for him they should go with the party. But they will not do anything of the kind. They are gentlemen. unanimous against my namesake. The idea that Taylor or Knowland would vote for him is preposterons. E. B. DUNNING—Anybody but Dan Burns. His election would be a lasting disgrace to the State. If Taylor or Know- land should vote for him I don’t believe they could look their neighbors in the face when thev return home. GEORGE ODELL—Burns has no_busi- ness to be a candidate for the office of United States Senator. It is a reflection on the decency of the people of California for him to put himself forward for the 1}:7nm‘. If Taylor or Knowland should vote for him they should stay away from Alameda for the pest of their lives.

There are many Republicans of Alameda County whose discernment is as good and whose sources of infor- mation are quite as reliable as those of Mr. Wright, who regard Mr. Burns as utterly unfit and be- e that his selection as a Sen- would be a humiliation to the people of California and a reproach to the Republican %flrly in this State. Even if Mr. Burns is not as Mr. “’r!Fhl argues, a ‘‘desper- ate criminal,”” his character is at least not free from suspicion and he rests under aspersions that no “honorable man would not have re- sented and gone to the uttermost ‘to disprove. But with such sus- icion resting upon him his candi- acy is at least unseemly.

Mr. Wright this even- ing enjoys the distinction of being the last sheep to be driven into the Burns corral. The Berkeley World-Gazette of this evening harbors a slight hope that Mr. Wright will vet allow the many appeals to his manhood to prevail. It sa But one of the many erroneous impressions concerning the ability of Dan Burns to be the political dictator and moderator for the Republican party has come to light. This time Speaker Wright was the one to fall before the polit- ical Moloch, and nothing but a complete return to his former policy in the Senatorial contest will reinstate him to his former stand- ing. That men aspiring for politi- cal honors should conclude that Burns can ejther make or ruin them is gross foolishness, and never before has this question agi- tated the local politicians until the late county, election, when certain county officers sought the tent of the Mexican ‘“jumper” and falsely represented his political abilities to aspiring Assemblymen. As for Mr. Wright, he never had or never will have need of the alliance with Mr. Burns, for he was chosen by the voluntary sanction of the people. It perhaps may be true that Mr. Burns, in learning of Mr. Wright's intended candidacy, com- municated his willingness to help in his campaign if the Speaker would st in presenting the claims of Mr. Burns' candlidate (never men- tioning the name) for Senator, and acting on his pledge he was con- strained to compliment the Mexican by a vote. Berkeley people have had ex- plicit confidence in their townsman, and are nonplused to Know what is the cause of the sudden change. As far as justifying his actlons ac- ording to research of the records accusing Burns of fraud is con- cerned places the matter on a lit- tle more pleasant basis. It possibly is true that the reports concerning Burns are ‘‘colored,” yet no citizen of Berkeley questions his unfitness for the place. The people of Berkeley, in their characteristic charity and free- thoughtedness, will be slow in form- ing too hasty opinions until the matter has been most thoroughly canvassed. But all are united that their interests will be materially crippled if the vote given by the Speaker yesterday is permanent | people of this city are d WRIGHT A PUZZLE.

The fules pro- viding for a special file in the Senate for bills that have passed the Assembly and for a similar file in the Assembly for bills that have passed the Senate was permit- ted to stand After the 1st day of February this special file will be the reg- ular order of business of each house from 2 p. m. until 3:30 p. m. of each meeting day. This special order can only be sus- pended by a two-thir vote. The rule regulating the number of attaches in each hous as stricken out, inasmuch as the subject matter will be covered by the amended Belshaw act. The rule fixing the amount to be allowed as attorney fees in the case of contested seats caused some considerable discussion. The rule of the last session fixed the maximum amount to be allowed as attorney fees. The con- testant’s attorney was allowed $100 and the sitting member's attorney was al- lowed $200. Assemblyman Dibble contended that the rule was unconstitutional and should be stricken out. Assemblyman Johnson thought that it was better the rule should stand and permit some one else to raise the question of its constitutionality. He was in favor of placing some limitation on the demands of attorneys in cases of contested seats, as it would have the ef- fect of preventing contests where there was no real ground for them. Senator Dwyer and Assemblyman Meade and Valentine all agreed with Assembly- man Johnson, The rule was finally amend- ed so that the maximum amount of at- torney fees for both contesting and sit- ting members shall be $200. A rule was adopted defining joint and concurrent resolutions. Joint resolutions will touch only on Federal matters. Con- current resolution will treat of matters requiring action in either of the houses of the Lef&slamre. and can be adopted with- out reference to a committee. The rule providing for a daily file in each house was stricken out on the ground that it was not a proper matter for joint regula- tion.

They know that the game is up so far as Burns is concerned and want to get in behind some one that can he elected. Grant has no more chance of win- ning than Burns. L. Mosher of Los Angeles, who was here some days ago actively urging Angelenos to rally around Grant, found the Bulla men bit- ter and determined. They expressed a determination to stand by Bulla as long as he had the slightest chance of winning, and moreover asserted that Grant was not second choice. Grant and Bulla are not the oniy candidates in from the south. Senators Flint and Rowell continue to hold aioft the ban- ner of Thomas Bard of Ventura, and therefore if General Barnes is not ac- ceptable to the southern members by reason of his residence in the central region of the State the Ventura states- man can meet the sectional wishes of the Los Angeles people. To-day General Barnes received the news that his old college companion, Chauncey M. Depew, had been selected by the Republican caucus of the New York Legislature for United States Senator. He was also impressed by the news that Rufus Choate, who was for- merly his law partner and room mate in New Vark, had been selected for the high po on of United States Embas- sador to .ingland. It would be a great day for California, say the friends of the General, if he could as United States Senator elect from California, send his congratulations to Depew and Choate. Two of the general's closest and warmest friends on the other side of the continent have each won a great political prize. There are many predic- tions here that Barnes will be a winner. ardor of a pure heart and an under- standing of the side cn which bread is buttered. Of course this is an instance of treachery, but Brown is afraid to live up to his word, and the reason is plain. He was once an aspirant for the Governorship. Gage and Burns prom- ised a position if he would withdraw, and Brown got out of the way. Now comes Burns with a threat, and Brown thinks that unless he does the bidding | of the Candelarian the promised job will go glimmering. He knows that Gage will do as Burns says. Therefore, in spite of his voluntary assurances, Brown has ranged himself with the| Burns touts. - Attorney Stone is another. spent several days in Sacramento but- tonholing the members of both houses, trying to fill them with a sense of the Yet goodness and gredtness of Burns. Stone long ago wormed his w: the good graces of Grant. far as to take Grant's son on a fishi expedition, although it has since trans pired that Grant had all the expenses to pay. The fact was known that Stone was hard up, but he is said now to have wiped cut his debts and to have mor to burn. He has offered to pay the ho tel expenses of different members. He claimed to control the votes of Assem- blymen Radcliff and Raw and of Sen- ator Troutt, and to be able to deliver them. His professions were hollow. All the three gentlemen are voting for Grant, but Stone is working for Burns. They must be flattered to know that their prerogatives were being hawked about like a bundle of merchandise, and by a man who had no possible right to presume to control them. I was told the other day that if I| would change the tone of this column so as to set forth that Burns would win, it would be “‘worth money to me.” The idea was mnot that Burns should be in any measure indorsed, but a sim- | his | force was made up of the rounders and | ple admission made that while blacklegs of politics, it was still so for- midable that it could not be overcome, The value of such an admission, partic- | ularly as it would be untrue. is a little hard to figure out. 1 asked my in- formant for details, but failed to get them. ““Go and have a talk with Frank | Stone,” was his advice.
