Indications point to a spirited contest | for ‘the Republican Congressional nomina- tion in the First District. The countles | comprising the district are: Del Norte, | Siskiyou, Medoe, Humboldt, Trinity, | Shasta, Lassen, Tehama, Plumas, Slerra, | Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa and Marin. Frank L. Coombs has developed the | | greatest strength of any candidate, but | | owing to the attitude of the Sonoma deie- | | gation he is not sure of winning out. The | | unpopularity of A. B. Lemmon in Santa | Rosa complicates the contest. If Lem-| mon were not for Coombs many Repub- licans who are now indifferent would fall | into Nne fc the leading candidate, but | the Santa Rosa Postmaster can make en- | emies faster than the| United States Dis- | trict Attorney can mgke friends. | Word comes from [Napa County that | Theodore A. Bell, Digtrict Attorney, will not accept the Democratic nomination for Congress in the First District.

W.| Cochran of San Rafael and J. J.

J. Maddux of Modesto, C. H. Castle of | Merced, W. D. Crichton of Fresno and | Will H. Holcombe of 8Ban Diego are in the field. A statesman named Bryan, whose ini- tials are not known at Democratic head- quarters in 8an Francisco, Is announcea as a candidate for the Democratic nomi- natlon for Congress in the Third District. Bryan lives in Oakland, | Talk In Democratic circles is favorable to the nomination of Henry C. Gesford | for Copgress in the Fifth Distriet. In the Fourth District the candidates most_frequently mentioned by Democrats | are Senator R. Porter Ashe and Charles Edelman. It is said that Mayor Phe]an‘l during his recent absence from the city, | wired to a friend here, advising that no | one be indorsed until he returned, as he had hopes of persuading Judge Coffey to enter the contest. The Mayvor, who is supposed to be against Senator Ashe, is | not enthusiastically in favor of Edelman, A three-cornered fight In the Becond District seems probable, ' Frank D. Nich- ols of Stockton has entered the fray | against Jo D. Sproul of Chico and A. Caminetti of Amador. Mr. Sproule is the leading candidate. In the 8ixth District the Democrats will doubtless nominate General John R, Mathews. He is an anti-boss man of character and Intelligence, but has no - clination for public sefvice. It is said by his friends that he will not accept the nomination. It seems to be settled that the Repub- lican State Convention will nominate Samuel M. Shortridge for Presidential elector-at-large. Leon Sloss is_spoken of as a good running mate for Mr. Short- ridge. Among those mentioned for places on the electoral ticket to represent the sgeveral districts are: E. C. Voorheis of Amador, E. M. Preston of Nevada, Wil- | llam R. Davis and Senator E. K. iaylor of Alameda and Mr. Bennett, ex-presi- dent of the Pacific Coast Traveling Men's Association.

A last recital will be given at the same hall on Saturday afternoon. _— e A French law gives any person who 1s offensively mentioned ina periodical pubi tion the right to reply in the next lssue ;? the publication, Provldud that he does not use more than twice the space of the original article.
