F. FITZGERALD FOR ADJU- TANT GENERAL. Politicians Are Wondering as to What Degree of Dan Burns’ Dic- tation the Executive Will Submit. | | | Governor Gage, refreshed by a season of est, left T Angeles last Saturday even- ing on the “Owl"” for Sacramento. He ar- rived at the Capitol in due time, where | he was welcomed by Colonel Burns, while other disciples of the *“push” were wait- ing in the court of the Palace Hotel in this city to get a glimpse of the State executive officer. Some of the malaria which the Governor took away from Sac- ramento remained with him throughout his vacation and made his return journey slightly feverish. It Is no secret that Gage now intends to make several appointments, and ih conse- quence of this decision on his part there is some joy In the ranks of the expectant. When the appointments are announced there will be wailings of distress, because there are at least ten applicants for every desirable position within the gift of the patronage distributor. While the one fortunate reciplent will sing the praises of Gage the other nine will con- signe him to the hottest part of Hades. The Governor expects that there will be many disappoiritments and is prepared to meet the storm of indignation sure to | follow. The presence of Burns in Sacramento when Gage arrived there and the long private conference that took place after the executive arrived confirm the suspi- cion that Burns is seeking to dictate the appointments, and the politicians ara wondering how much dictation Gage will | submit to., Markham stood a good deal more of Burns than was good for Mark- ham and a vast deal more than was good for the Republican party of the State of California. Gage has repeatedly said that he would allow no one to dictate his ap- pointments and that none of the patron- age at his disposal would be used to reward a member of the Legislature for supporting any candidate for United States Senator. At Sacramento during the recent Senatorial contest every legis- lator in the Burns corral, from Dibble to Cosper, contended that the State patron- age was held in reserve for the followers of Burns. It is not surprising therefore that many are anxiously waiting to see what kind of men Gage appoints to office. The office of adjutant general, now | filled by General Peeler, does not belong | to the party in the sense that offices are usually classed. The position is that of the Governor's chief of staff, and he will name some one agreeable to himself. The executive committee of the Republican State Central Committee did practically indorse Colonel George Stone for adjutant general, and the latter submitted to the Governor high indorsements from other sources. Colonel Smedberg and Colonei Currier have very high testimonials re- garding their respective qualifications for | the place. Colonel Seamans of Los An- geles, commander-in-chief of the Re- publican Army and Navy League of Cal- ifornia, is also commended in a fine man- ner. The Governor may not find in this | | excellent military material just the man that suits him, and hence t friendly ad- | vices of Colonel Burns may be solicited. | The Governor entertains high regard for the legal ability of ex-Attorney General | Fitzgerald, and as a knowledge of the | law is useful in the adjutant general's of- fice, Fitzgerald may be selected. The wars | of the National Guard are more likely to | be settled in the courts than on the fleld | of bloody strife. It happens that Fitz- 'i[ernld has had experience in both fields. e hails from Mississippi, and bears a good record of service in the Confederate army. Govegnor Stoneman set the exam- | ple of appointing an ex-Confederate sol- dier when he named for his chief of staff | Colonel Cosby. At one time Fitzgerald | and Burns were the closest of friends, but | a_disagreement occurred which separated | them. Time works such wonders in heal- Ing political wounds that these two na- tive sons of Mississippi may yet clasp hands under Gage's benediction. The office of Commissioner of Highways 18 classed as a fat, Juicy plum. The seu: son has brought forth many aspirants for the fruit. A. C. Maude of Southern Cali- fornia, who engineered the original scheme for the creation of the bureau by an act of the I&%!slatur?, is in the field |as an active candidate for Commissioner. He was in Sacramerto when the Legisla- ture convened early In January and remained there for quite a length of time. It is sald that |he has the Indorsement of many members of the Legislature for the job. Senator Bulla was his friend and per- suaded many of the Senators to sign' the petition commending Maude to the Gov- ernor. This incident did not escape the observation of the ‘‘organization,” which was there doing active work to promote the Senatorial aspirations of Burns. In seeking for aid and sympathy in a cru- sade for the spoils of office Bulla's friends cannot wisely look to Colonel Burns. Somehow Bulla refuses to worship at the Candelarian_shrine, and the colonel be- lieves that Buila represents an ungrateful | | that particular time becau DR. KILMER ’S REMEDIES. WHAT STATISTICS HAVE PROVEN! What Medical Science Has Accomplished. THIS GREAT DISCOVERY IS OFFERED FREE TO «“CALL’ Statistics prove that more people are brought to the grave by diseases of the kidneys and bladder than by any other disease. Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious and deceptive that thousands have some form of it and never suspect it. For many years medical science has been trying to discover some remedy that would positively overcome these dangerous troubles. But not until recently was the dis- covery made. Dr. Kilmer, the eminent physician and scientist, after years of study and research, and after test on test that never varied in the grand result, announced the discovery of Swamp-Root, which has proven itself & most wonderful cure for all diseases of the kidneys and bladder. While Swamp-Root has proved such a remarkable success in curing kidney and bladder diseases, it has also proved equally invaluable in the cure of blood diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom- ach troubles and in the regulation and cure of all uric acld troubles. Swamp-Root has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless, too poor to purchase relief, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of the Call who have not already tried it, may have a free sam- ple bottle of Swamp-Root and thus test for themselves its wonderful curative properties. If you will send your name and full address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y., a sample bottle will be sent, absolutely free by mail, post-paid, also a book telling more about Swamp- Root and containing some of the thou- sands upon thousands of testimonial letters received from people who owe their good health, in fact, their very lives, to the wonderful curative prop- erties of Swamp-Root. This great modern discovery is for sale at most drugstores in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. Don't make any mistake, but make a note of the name, SWAMP-ROOT, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, and remember that it is prepared only by Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, DN If you take advantage of this gener- > READERS.

So the sin of political in- gratitude cannot be charged to all the people of Southern California. There {s another leadingcandidate for the oftice of Highway Commissioner in the The same s George W. Elder of San Francisco. He was kept busy in Sac mento looking after his political fences and_if the length of his petition is in harmony with his zeal in pursuit of the office it must be a mile long. The Gov- ernor is fully informed as to Mr. Elder's qualifications for the office, because Mr. Elder is the Governor's informant. there are many other applicants for the place, all possessing the statutory re quirements respecting abllity as to engi neering, neither Maude nor Elder may get the coveted job. This week the Governor may select three Commissioners for the Paris Expo- sition. It is common talk that Ben C, Truman of Los Angeles, W. H. Mills of San Franeisco and Mark L. McDonald of Santa Rosa will be commissioned. Pre- dictions regarding these appointments are vast and varfed. Mark McDonald was at Sacramento looking after the billet, and the story goes that the Governor enter- tained and expre: appreciation of the applicant’s ability. It is called to mind that Mark L. Is no stranger in Sacr mento. He was there once as a central figure In a Senatorfal contest that was a joy to all who participated excepting the one that gave the contest. Prior to his departure for Sacramento to enter into the joys and sorrows of the struggle he invested $40,000 In a primary election and another $40,000 or so in a daily paper called the Mail. Mark bought nearly all the space in the two leading hotels of Sacramento and opened wine all the day long and far into the night. Everything went along well until Farley was elected Senator, and this happened because the members who were elected and pald to support McDonald were bought off in the ! interest of his competitor. This Sena- torial experfence will in no sense d qualify Mr. McDonald from service as Exposition Commissioner. Since his feat for the Senate in the far away he has served as missioner and service. If Ben Truman and Mills are together on the commission there may be a mon- key and a parrot time. When they were employed in the literary department of the Southern Pacific_Railroad they had many a collision. Truman was finally forced out of the.company’s service by some unfriendly influence. p: a World’s Fair Com- gained honors in The talk that De Young has declined | to accept the position of Commissioner is slightly discounted.
