VOLUME LXXXVII—NO. 58. SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1900. PRICE FIVE CENTS. CALIFORNIA LIFTS HER MIGHTY VOICE AGAINST BURNS Leading Republicans Throughout the State Declare the Mexican Unfit to Represent This Empire in the Senate of the United States. His Election Would Be a Disgrace. ”—\.A\X BURNS is not wanted by the people of California to represent them in the upper house of the national legislature. This has been amply demon- )strated in the columns of The Call on numerous occasions. To ascertain if there had been any change in the sentiment of the people on the Senatorial question The Call instructed its correspondents in fifty cities of the State to interview, without discrimination, ten leading Republicans as to the wis- dom of the call for the extra session and the fitness of the Mexican for the Senatorial toga. The responses printed below show most conclusively that the better elem nt of the State is unalterably and unmistakably opposed to the pretensions of Gage’s political creator, and regards the many reasons ad\'a;xced by the Gov- ernor for c'om'ening the Legislature in extraordinary session as only a subterfuge to elevate Burns to the Senatorship. The majority strongly denounce the Governor in no uncertain terms for the special summons, and unqualifiedly declare that he is not conducting his office with much consideration for the inter- ests of his party. They assert that the work cut out for the extra session should have been performed last winter, and that the State will not be compensated one tithe for the heavy tax the session will entail. Only a few approve the move of the Governor. They do so on the ground that the State is entitled to two Senators at Washington, and the call is, therefore, proper in order to obtain full representation. A mere handful go on record as favoring Burns. They are blind to the rascality of a man with a reputation so besmirched that all the waters of old ocean could not cleanse it, and have the temerity to pronounv'c him a decidedly proper person. The expressions of many, who are citizens of high standing in their respective towns, are an ominous warning to the solons who gather at Sacramento on Monday next. They see in the Governor's wordy call only a disgraceful scheme to boost the Mexican into the Senatorship, and unhesitatingly declare that it will be detrimental to the best interests of the Republican party. If the conspiracy be carried toa successful termination it will ‘ iously impair the strength of the party in the State, and so disgust the people that the outrage will be resented in a most decisive manner at the polls when the next election occurs.
