THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1900 L WAVE OF DISAPPROVAL OF A MOST UNWORTHY' there is nothing that would warrant such action. His reasons are flimsy on the face of them and it is evident that he has been forced to give way to the inevitable and pay his political obligations. If his scheme carries and Dan Burns is elected to the Benate of the United States, it will be a standing and burning disgrace to the State, This State needs a Sena- | tor badly, but it would be better off with- out one than to send a man like Burns to represent it. jfodotetelelelefud defefefededeleleteiotobedodoleiofudatafotofinnun defefeleffles deleaefeleffefeftuefofef defdet * <+ | LAKEPORT.

Scott is my man. R. Arthur—I believe the extra ses- sion movement is unpopular with the | country people. H. H. Richmond—With no disparaging word for any of the other candidates, now that General Barnes is out of the fight, 1 have a preference for Irving | Scott. J. W. McCullough—I think an extra session not a good move for the party. W. J. rurns—I don’t session is at all popular with the peo- ple, but a good deal depends on the out- | come. If Barnes or Scott were to be el ed the people might overlook the e pense. 1 have heard of hardly anybody who is in favor of this extra session movement. J. H. Wills—I do not think the people here were anxious for an extra session. It will prove an expensive affair, with chances that little good will come £, O. K. White—This extra session is a humbug. If Burns is elected it will surely hurt the party. + % & ALINAS, Jan. 2.—Of all the promi- nent Republicans interviewed to- | SALINAS. night in Salinas it i{s the consensus of opinion of the majority that Dan | Burns ought not to and will not represent | California in the United States Senate. C. F. Lacey, chairman of the Republi- can Central Committee—From a political | standpoint the calling of an extra session is unwise in the extreme. The Republi- | cans of this county are a unit against the | Senatorial aspirations of D. M. Burns. They would not approve, but would con- demn any act or vote of their representa- tive (Senator Flint) in caucus or out of | caucus which would add to Burns' chance of success, but they have no fears of “Tom” voting wrong. { J. R. Hebbron said he thought it was a | good idea to call an extra session: that | California should be represented by an- | other Senator, but that he did not know whether the best man would be elected or not. Coroner H. V. Muller asserted that the | whole affair of calling an extra session | as well as the scheme to elect Dan Burns was highway robbery and should not be tolerated Postmaster John R. Joy believes that it is the universal opinion of all the Repub- licans in this community that Burns should not be elected Senator. He did not believe that the representatives who voted against Burns the last time would change this session. Many other prominent lights in the Re- | publican party in this county who could not be seen to-night have given the un- qualified opinion that Burns should not be elected. Others have signified their in- | tention of writing personally to Senator | anv. urging him to vote against the Mex- can. + ] VISALIA. * ISALIA, Jan. 28—E. M. Jefferds, County Auditor—It s a mistake to call a speclal session if the object is to elect Burns to the Benate. Burns can’t be elected squarely and fair- ly. There are plenty of good men avail- able who would give general satisfaction. J. E. Denny, County Treasurer—I am in favor of Burns. He ought to be elected Senator. 1 think his services to the party entitle him to credit and recognition at this time. George G. Murray, Deputy District At- torney—I don’t want to see Burns elect- ed Senator. A San Joaquin Valley man ought to have the place. Anybody but Burns would suit the Republicans. Charles G. Lamberson, chairman Re- ublican County Central Committee—So ?flr as I am concerned 1 do not now think and never have thought there was any occasion for calling an extra session of the Legislature. It is a bad political move. he election of Dan Burns to be Senator would be a great blow to the Re- publican party of this State and would certainly lose us the next Legislature. John O. Thomas, County Recorder—It is unwise to call a special session of the Legislature. 1 don’t want to see Burns elected. He may be a food man, but his re&utallfln is notoriously bad. V. 8. Hayes—I know Burns personally. He hasn't the ability to be Senator. He's nothing but a _political schemer and trickster. The Legislature will make a great mistake if Burns is elected. G. A. Botsford, treasurer Republican County Central Committee—I think if Burns can be elected United States Sena- tor he will do as much good as any other man mentioned. Theodore Loventhal—There 18 no occa- sion for a speclal session of the Legisia ture. The scorching Dan Burns has re- celved from the Republican press makes him an undesirable man for Senator, R. P. Grant—I think the call for a spe- clal session s an outrage and it will be a greater outrage to elect Burns. % Cross—I am against Dan Burns and all his class of geople. He isn’t fit to represent respectabl eople anywhere, A. G. Wishon—It will be very unforty- nate for the Republican party if Dan Burns is elected. There is no.need of g special session at this time. J. M. Boynton—So much has been pub. | 1ished "against Dan Burns it e think this extra | a mistake to elect him as Senator. Judge H. C. Lillle—An extra session is | all right. But Burns is not the man for Senator. It will be a great blow to the | Republican party if he is elected. | J. V. Huffaker—The calling of a_spe- | clal session i3 bad political policy. Burns | is a rascal. He should not be elected. | There are too many bad men in office al- know he would do more for the State than anybody else.—R. T. McMillan. An extra session is uncalled for, and nothing more disastrous could happen to the Republican party than the election of Dan M. Burns as Senator.—T. H. Thomp- son. I most decidedly oppose Dan Burns' election as United States Senator.—J. B. LAMEDA, Jan. 26.—T. Carpenter, Veterinary Inspector Alameda— The calling of the extra session is Indeed a serious mistake. It is a mistake because we are on the eve of a Presidential campaign and our oppo- nents will make the most out of it. To elect Dan Burns will only make matters ten times worse. Complications will be sure to follow this untimely action. The wisdom of the managers of the Repub- lican party ought to prevail and prevent any further mistakes. The people do not want Burns, and he knows fit. George E. Clarke—Gage has done more injury to the Republican party by this last freak of his than anything ‘else I know of could do. It is simply idiotic. The Burns influence must be tremendous to sway a man to betray his party in the way Gage has. It will certainly do us a great deal of harm. E. A. Randlett—I am afraid the Repub- lican party is going to pay dearly for this extra session in more ways than one. seems to have been called for the pur- pose of electing Dan Burns and nulfimg else. There is no other good reason why it should have been convened. This ac. tion on the part of Gage will have its ef- l’?cl when the Presidential election takes place. Captain J. C. Hanley—We certainly don’'t want a man like Dan Burns for Senator of this State. He is too repug- nant. He may be a bright man in his way, but it is not the right way. We know too much of his record. Some one who has a moral character at least ought to be elected Senator. 1 don’t want to see any one that Gage favors get into a high office. As to his calling an extra session, I think that it was done for Burns' benefit, and that the Republican ay the piper. pl Forderer, City Trustee—I think the sentiment of the Republican rty, rank and file, s against Dan Burns, f a popular vote were asked he would be snowed under. Therefore, it would seem to be for the best interests of the party to elect some fit man. We have plenty of material in this State and ought to have two good Senators. This extra sesslon is going to do the party immense harm. The party managers will soon find that they have made a serious mistake. - + SONORA. ONORA, Jan. 2.—Republicans of Tuolumne County condemn the ac- tion of the Governor in calling an extra session, belleving it has been called in the interest of Burns, whom they do not think the proper man for Senator. Barnes, Scott or Estee would give entire satisfaction. + TULARE. ULARE, Jan. 26.—I belleve the cull has been made for the purpose of electing D. M. Burns Senator. It is to be regretted that the Governor has yielded to the machine politicians, and if Burns is elected I believe that it will lose the State in the coming election. The feeling against him is too strong ani r‘o‘? bitter for reconciliation.—W. P. Rat- I am opposed to an extra session of the Leglislature and opposed to the election of Burns.—Charles Delre. 1 think the Governor makes a mistake in calling an extra session of the Legisia- ture, and 1 wouldn’'t like to see Burns elected Senator.—John Tuohy. I believe in an extra session, but am op- posed to the election of Burns to the Sen- ate for the welfare of the Republican party.—L. 8choenemann. 1 am not uPposed to an extra session, but am not in favor of having Burns elected Senator. Neither have 1 seen a Republican yet who is.—M. C. Zumwalt. am of the opinion that all will be well if it ends well—if the Legislature holds a short session, gives deserved attention to the measures submitted by the Governor and elects to the United States Senate a man who stands well in the estimation of the people. The elature and the Gov- ernor will be justified by its works, but if after a bitter fight and a protracted ses- sion_the head of the San Iraneisco pusn is chosen Senator the result will consti- tute a disaster to the ReYuh"cm part; and a humiliation to California.—A. J. Pillsbury. I think there is no necessity for an ex- tra session. Everything should and could have been legisiated at the proper time, and I do not like to see Burns elected Senator.—A. W. Wheeler. The whole affair is a big mistake, and all the good that could possibly be accom-~ plished would not overbalance the injury to the State and the Republican party by the election of Burns.—J. W. Davis. I think it is an outrage to put Burns {1 Senate. De Young is my man, ag I | ready. Beckwith. + Tt e 1 l ALAMEDA. ‘ ‘ PLACERVILLE. [ + 4| ¥ + LACERVILLE, Jan. 26.—Judge Fred Adams, one of the most prominent attorneys of this city and a Repub- lican from the foundation of the party and prominent for nearly forty ‘years in party councils, sald—As a general rule I am opposed to extra sessions of the Legislature. The history of extra ses- sions In the past has been that they have been utter faillures for the purpose for which they have been called. I am not in favor of the election of Colonel D. M. Burns to the United States Senate, neither do I favor the election of U. S. Grant Jr. I think the best interests of the party would be best subserved by the election of. an entirely new man—one of proper ability and largely interested in the pros perity of the State. Thomas R. Bard of Ventura I believe to be such a man and I think no better choice could be made. George A. Richardson, secretary of the Republican County Central Committee and for seventeen years the editor and proprietor of the Republican, the leading Republican newspaper in the county—I recognize in Colonel D. M. Burns a man who has been a potent factor in Republi- can party success in this State, but be- leve that party harmony would be best romoted by the selection of a new man or the Senate. From a partisan stand- point, the calling of an extra session may result in an advantage to the Republican natfonal administration If it results in the | election of a United States Senator. On the other hand, the extra session is ex- | f’ hazardous to the welfare of the arty In the next two campaigns in this tate. If the session is unduly prolonged or if it results In the election of a Senator whom the people generally will condemn it is reasonable to conclude that they will hold the Republican party responsible for the actions which they disapprove. I am gersgnally opposed to the election of D . Burns, because I feel certain that it will weaken the strength of the party in this State. ‘W. F. Fairchild, a leading druggist of this city—Extra sessions have been fail- ures in the past. I hope this one will not be so0. I am opposed to the election of Colonel D. M. Burns to the Senate. hope to see a Republican elected who wiil tremel, — command the respect of the entire Stfi.lel and will harmonize the party. John P. Fisher, County Clerk—I belleve | that we should have a Senator, and, of course, the extra session Is the only way to secure one. I am opposed to the elec- tion of Colonel Burns—would like to see | { | i | Irving M. Scott or Horace Davis elected. | Dr. 8. H. Rantz—I don’t think there was | J4. any call for an extra session at this time and I think the Governor is entailing needless expense upon the people of the State. I am decidedly opposed to Dan M. Burns for the United States Senate—think it better that the State should continue unrepresented than to suffer the calamity of his election. John P. G. Miller, a prominent attorney and feading Republican—There was no necessity for an extra session at this time and the Governor's proclamation came as a surprise to me. am unalterably op- posed to the election of Dan Burns to the United States Senate. M. Q. Meehan, a lsadlnf hardware mer- chant and prominent in local Republican politics—I think the calling of an extra sesslon at this time was a mistake. I am opposed to the election of Colonel Burns to the Senate of the United States. Theodore Schaub, one of the best-known Republicans in the county and one of the proprietors of the Ohio, the leading hotel of this city—Extra sessions of the Cali- fornia Legislature have in the past been costly failures to the people of the State. Believing in party harmony, I do nof | favor the election of Colonel D. M. Burns to the United States Senate. il iy + ILLOWS, Jan. 26—H. W. Walker, secretary Republican Central Committee—It seems to me that the Governor of the State should know whether or not mat- ters to come before the Legislature are of sufficient importance to justify calling an extra session. So far as the Senatorship is concerned I think there are Republi- cans in reach who would please the peo- ple better than Burns. H. W. Elllott—I hardly think the extra session should have been called. I am de- cidedly opposed to having Burns elected Senator. J. H. Graves, Auditor and Recorder of Glenn County—If the Legislature can elect a Senator.1 am in favor of the ex- tra session. I do not know Burns—in fact, have never seen him—but from what I have heard about him I think it would be better for the State not to send him to the Senate. 1. V. Devenpeck, prominent land own- er—I do not think the session will amount to much. I do not think Burns will be elected, and, furthermore, I do not think | | | | | | necessary. | place. | he should be. I do not belleve the people here want Burns. Judge Pirkey—I am satisfied Governor | iage knows his business and that in ling an extra session of the Legisla- ure he did_his duty. I believe it was For Senator I prefer Burns. County "Surveyor Weston—I think the calling of an extra session nothing but a political scheme. As for electing Burns Senator I think there are other men in the Republican party more fit for the I _do not like to say anything | against Burns, but belleve upright and | honest people o not favor him for Sen- | ator. F. Jenks, & wealthy rancher—I do not | think the extra session should have been | called. I am not in favor of Burns for | « c t n | Senator. | Willlam Finch, leading attorney—I be- | leve a Senator should be elected but | would_prefer to see some other person | than Burns elected. I do not believe the | people in_this section want Burns. | C. R. Wickes, merchant—I think _this calling of an extra session of the State | Legislature a political scheme to elect Dan Burns for Senator. I do not think Dan Burns is the right man for the place, He might boom the State in one sense of the word, but he would make the State pay for it. I think Burns is for Burns. Dr. F. X. Tremblay, who always takes actlve interest in political affairs—While [ am of the opinion that Burns could repre- sent the State well if he would, still I believe it would be better for the party and for all concerned to select a man who has not had any reflections cast upon his character. I beileve the Governor did right in calling the extra session. —_— + + t NEVADA €iTY. | | + + EVADA CITY, Jan. 2.—Sherman | W. Marsh, chairman Republican | County Central Committee—When | Governor Gage's call for the | extra session came to hand I went over it carefully and could not do otherwise than conclude it was a plece of foolishness. I am satisfled the Legislature cannot be prevailed upon by | the Governor to carry out his plans. As for Colonel Burns and the Senatorship, | his selection would be a calamity to the Republican party and the State. He is a | slick manipulator, but that does not qual- | ify him to go to Washington. | David E. Morgan, member State Central | Committee—The extra session should not | have been called.

While I admire the colonel as a political hustler, I don't think he is the right kind of timber to represent us. F. Snell, merchant—Am not a Dan Burns man. California_has too many 0od men to send one like Burns to Wash- ngton. Of course I want to see a Senator elected to help Senator Perkins uphold the administration on the part of our State, and therefore I have felt no objec- tion to the calling of a special session. ——— + + LOS GATOS. +* 0S GATOS, Jan. 26.—John C. Worth —The calling of the extra session of the Legislature is the most trans pafent political plece of humbug I ever heard of, and an insult to the peo- ple of California. I consider Dan Burns a political sham. I voted for Fremont in 1858 and for every Rapuh}lcnn candidate for President since that time.

Mason, attorney—While popular sentiment here is undoubtedly against an extra session, there exist several urgent reasons which make it needed. Aside from | the election of a Senator some of the laws | | to be presented are of the gravest import- | ance. As long as any representative Re- | publican is elected it would be better than a vacancy or a Democratic Senator, in my opinion. ¥ ‘Willlam G. Richards, merchant—Un- doubtedly Governor Gage performed his duty as Ke saw it when he called the ex- tra session. Burns would not be my choice for Senator; in fact, our representatives cannot dfford to elect him. Barnes suits me best of any man I have heard men- | tioned yet. | Charles E. Mulloy, merchant—I think it | plain that the extra session Is an unneces- sary expense. We have a majority in the National Senate, and it is not urgent that | the Republicans of California elect a sec- ond member just now, especially as Sena- | tor Perkins has o notably demonstrated his ability to care for_the interests of the | State in Congress. If Burns should be elected Senator we could not hope to | carry the State for the Republican party { again inside of five years at least. A Burns victory would throw Nevada County into the Democratic column by fully_500 majority, J.'G. O'Nelll, prineipal city schools—It is | a mighty poor policy to call the Legisla- ture together to elect Dan Burns Senator. If the State has to suffer because it is not fully represented in the United States | Senate the Legislature is to blame, and | indirectly the people who elected that slature are also to blame. . B. Power, District Attorney—The ex- | tra session Is in some respects justified, | but there are matters requiring legisla- tion that were omitted from the call. As to Burns, I believe the immediate future prospects of the Republican party in the elected we would soon appreciate that fac \\["mfleld Scott, ex-chairman County Re- publican. Central Committee—The Gov- ernor was wise in calling the session. His action was for the good of the State. All concede the great importance just now of another Senator. Many are in favor of our townsman Senator S. C. Smith. He is a clean, bright, vigorous man. Assemblyman R. C. Dale—It was all right to call an extra session. When asksd as to the scheme to elect Dan Burns, Mr. Dale had nothing to say. He was a stanch ** A Good Maxim is Never Qut of Season.”” N either is a good family medicine, like Hood's Sarsaparilla.
