The sidewalks in front of thé Golden Eagle and Capital hotels are impassable. Democrats from all sections of the State are here and the chances of the various candidates for nominations are the chief topic of conver- sation. Franklin K. Lane, City Attorney of San Francisco, arrived at noon and opened headquarters in the Capitol Hotel. By a coincidence his rooms are the same as those used by Dr. Pardee, the Republican candidate for Governor, and Lane's supporters look upon this as a good omen. All day long Mr. Lane re- ceived visitors. He met fully 300 men dur- ing the afternoon and shook hands with each. Seth Mann, his chief lieutenant, is on the scene and doing strenuous work. J. F. Tyler and R. M. Sims of San Fran- clsco are looking -after Lane’'s headquar— ters and are doing their share toward se- curing votes and making friends for their candidate. ALAMEDA IS FOR LANE. Mann will nominate Lane for Governor, and T. M. O'Connor of San Francisco will second the nomination. Mann is a del- egate from Alameda. He believes his entire delegation will support Lane for Governor and Coonan for chairman. In ciscussing Lane's chances of receiving the nomination at the hands of the con- vention, Mann made the following state- ment: There is no truth in the statement the labor deleration intends. 16" intertere of dominate the nomination of a Governor, 1 do not believe that is their attitude, but I do say freely that in my opinion there is no question that if Franklin K. Lane is nomi- nated his well known pro-labor attitude and career would Insure against the labor con- vention putting up a candidate for Governor. Lane will receive the hearty support of the labor interests of the State if nominated. He is an honorary member of San Francisco ¥ypographical Unlon No. 21, and was made an honorary member of the Seattle Typo- graphical Union. He was honored by ' the San Francisco organization by reason of his service In securing union labels on all city printing during his incumbency as City and County Attorney of San Francisco. Through his efforts 4000 men engaged in public work in San Francisco are now working but eight hours a day where formerly they were obliged to labor ten or twelve hours a day. It was through his efforts in advising the Board of Public Works in their dealings with con- tractors and others who do city work that this change was brought about. FARNSWORTH KEEPS BUSY. Judge E. C. Farnsworth of Visalia is the first candidate for the nomination for As- | sociate Justice to reach the scene of tle. He has been bugily engaged all l:izly talking to delegates and late this even- ing expressed himself as sanguine of gain- ing a place on the State ticket. Judge Farnsworth says he has been indorsed by the conventions of Tulare, Mariposa Fresno, Kern, Amador and Kings coun- ties and has been promised support from various other delegations. Frank Drew, formerly a resident of San Francisco and now engaged in the lum- ber business in Mendocino County, is here as a_member of the delegation from the northern county. Drew is working hard for Judge Lawlor for one of the nomina- tions for Associate Justice. He says the Judge will receive the entire vote of his delegation. C. H. Brainard of Shasta and W. B, Shearer cf Siskivou are looking over the field. They have no candidate to spring, but are ready to present the name of g northera Democrat if the opportunity be %% Biy, 3. B Hant H. B. Ely, J. B. Hanford and o menibers of the San Bernardino deléggf tion, arrived at noon and spent the day listening to the claims of certain candr. dates and expatiating on the virtues of those aspirants who come from thelr re. glon. Alex Rosborough and his brother, Jo- seph, are not letting grass grow under their feet. The former is looking for the nomination for Secretary of State ana feels confident that he will get it. Up to this hour_he has no opposition. Judge J. K. Law of Merced, a well known jurist, is on the scene. The Judge aspires to the nomination of Chief Jus. tice. " ONE CONTESTED DELEGATION. Frank Freeman of Willows, who was a. candidate for Congress at the last elec- tion, is here. Freeman has trouble on his hands. The only contest among the dele- gations comes from his county. It ap- THOUGH LANE IS IN LEAD FOR G | GTRANRT w2 BLAa<k o SNAPSHOTS OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS NOW IN THE CONVENTION CITY. - + pears the county convention named a set of delegates and another set of delegates was elected at the primaries. Freeman is here in behalf of the primary delegates. Ex-Sheriff Tom O'Neil of Sacramento County is actively at work trying to win the nomination for Attorney General for Major W. A. Gett of this city. The major also is engaged among the delegates. He is a popular man and the delegates are favorably impressed with his fight. Gerald Lumley of Tulare is present in the interest of his brother, A. M. Lumley, who aspires to the nomination of As- semblyman from his district. D. W. Carmichael, a weil-known resi- dent of this city, will be secretary of the Democratic Convention; Al McCabe of the State Central Committee will be chief clerk and the assistant clerks will be Charles T. Hughes, H. M. Larue Jr. and Gerald R. Lumley. Sheriff Griffin of Yolo County will be sergeant at arms. He will have half a dozen assistants. Ex-Congressman A. Caminetti of Jack- son, Amador County, reached this city this afternoon and began a canvass for the nomination for Congressman from'the First District. His opponent, Thomas §. Ford of Nevada City, has been on the ground since yesterday. This contest will be a warm one, as each candidate is favored by the miners of his section. TULLOCK VERSUS RALSTON. L. R. Tullock of Angels Camp is out for the nomination for Senator from the Tenth District, whieh comprises the coun- ties of Amador, Calaveras, Alpine and Mono. Tullock is sanguine ‘that if he wins the nomination he will defeat Wil- llam C. Ralston of Robinsons Ferry, who received the nomination ai the hands of the Republican Convention. Tullock says he reversed the order of things before entering the fight. He first canvassed his Gistrict to learn If he couid defeat Rals- ton, and having satisfled himself that he could he went before his constituents and asked for the nomination. He served in the Assembly ten years ago and made a record that satisfied his district. Henry L. Blenfield, secretary of the Iroquois Club of San Francisco, is here making arrangements for the big pow- wow to be heid in Agricaltural Pavilior to-morrow night. Bienfield said that mem- bers of the San Francisco, Marin, Contra Costa and Mendocino clubs would reach this city at noon to-morrow and would parade to the hall in full warpaint. There a big initiation will be held. More than fifty members wiil be initiated by the Sac- ramento_Club. Bienfield is making a strenuous fight to down those who did not support Willlam J. Bryan in the campalgns of 1896 and 1900. He will appear before the commit- teo on resolutions and platform to-mor- row night and appeal to it to adopt a 1esolution asking the convention not to nominate any man Wwho opposed the Democratic nominee in the years named. Bienfield represents the ~ Democratic League Ciubs of the State. He says the organization is composed of 245 clubs and that they have 285 members in the Demo- cratic convention. Blenfleld claims that the organization defeated Barney Murphy because of his non-support of Bryan, Jeff Packard, Marshal of Bakersfield, is here as a delégate. Packard is a weéli- known brave and will take a prominent part-in the Iroquois ceremonies to-mor- row night. SPROUL NOT A CANDIDATE. Jo D. Sproul of Chico is a delegate to the convention. He is not a candidate for the Congressional nomination in his dis- trict. The Sacramento delegation have profit- ed by the lesson they learned from the Republican convention. = They intend standing together and making a supreme effort to obtain a place on the ticket for one or two of their candidates. Besides Major W. A. Gett, who Is out for Attor- ney General, E. I. Woodman is a_candi- date for State Printer, and W. J. Hassett for Railroad Commissioner. R. M. Clarken will be recommended by the dele- gation for appointment on the committes on platform and resolutions; Thomas Fox on ihe committee on credentials, and P. C. Cohn on the committee on permanent organization and order of business. fhe evening train Dbrought up many well-known - politicians. Gavin McNab, Willam H. Alford, Willlam D. English, James H.

ALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC- RAMENTO, Sept. 1.—The bat- tle for the chairmanship of the Democratic Convention opened in earnest to-night. The pros- pect for a sharp combat be- tween Attorney J. F. Coonan of Eureka and Attorney George S. Patton of Los Angeles for the honor or presiding over the convention is excellent, although it is conceded by the friends of both fac- tions that the fight for the chairmanship will in no sense have any bearing upon the fight for the gubernatorial nomina- tion. The northern districts, almost to a man, are pledged to support Coonan for chair- man, and it is reasonably certain that a large majority of the San Francisco del- egation favors the Eureka attorney. The southern delegations appear to be divided, but the greater number declare Patton to be their choice, on the general theory that the northern part of the State should not have all the honors. McNab made the following statement to-night: There is no question that Coonan will be the @ it EDITORS BAR ALL POLITIC Santa Clara County As- sociation Makes Declaration.

L.—The conventions of political parties in this county which have always counted upon the support of the country press will doubtless be surprised at the stand of independence on the vart of the Santa Clara County Fditorial Association toward local party measures and nominees. While freely sustaining national and State politics as heretofore, the editors of Gilroy, Palo Alto, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Mayfield, Morgan Hill and Santa Clara, representing sixteen newspapers, bave adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of the Santa Clara County Editorial Association that the policy of the papers represented in the sald as- soctation shall be thoroughly ingependent as re- v and county officers. s Y P the assoclation 18 to report the resources of the county. iz The meeting of the association was colled to order in the I O.

A.short session was held during the afternoon, when a committee on hy- laws, consisting of A. C. Gage of the Santa Clara News, G. K. Estes of the Mountain View Register, and J. W. Milnes of the Gilroy Gazette, was ap- pointed. The soclety adopted the name of the Santa Clara County Editorial Asso- ciation.

He and his friends have been making their fight fo* months, and the assurances of support thus far recelved render his selection as chairman absoultely certain, in my opinion. Coonan will Teceive no less than 400 votes in the convention for the homor. That is all I have to say. Coonan has this to say concerning his fight: I believe my fight is won. I am satisfled from the assurances of support I have received from all quarters that I will be chosen chair- man of the convention. I have all the north- ern districts, with one exception, and 1 was assured to-night that the south would stand for me. I expect Mr. Patton will make a fight, of course, and If he wins I will cheerfully abide by the decision of the convention, CLAIMS OF THE SOUTHRONS. Patton makes the following statement: I am convinced that I will be-chosen chatr- man of the convention. The southern districts are for me solidly, and I have the assurance of the Santa Clara delegation that its twenty- four votes will be cast for me. We of the south do not believe it just right that the north should capture everything in sight, and if we can prevent it it shall not be dome. That there is a genuine struggle on is evidenced by the button-holing that is being done by the delegates from all sec- tions. The claim of Coonan that he has the backing of a majority of the south- ern delegates was not borne out this evening, when a caucus of the southern- ers was called for the purpose of deciding upon a chairman. The general sentiment was in favor of Patton's candidacy and it was decided to stand by the attorney from the south. The contest therefore re- solves itself into a sectional one, which must be finally decided on the floor of the convention. PATTON’S CHANCES BRIGHT. At midnight the indications were that Patton would be chosen chairman of the convention. Many southern delegates visited the Lane headquarters during the evening and informed Lane that, while they favored Patton for chairmarn, they wanted it to be understood that they were ! for Lane for Governor, first, last and all the time. The sentiment was strong | among the southern delegates that the | northern section of the State should have the gubernatorial nominee and the south- elm part the chairmanship of the conven- tion. This view was shared by many of the northern delegates, who said without re- serve that their choice for chairman in no wise represented their choice for Gov- error. i e o T ) BUTTE GREETS NOTED MINERS International Congress Begins Session in Montana.

Such men as Judge Sullivan, who are always in favor of clean politics, support me in this contest. 1 have been among the labor element and thelr expressions of good will and the letters 1 have received from the various unions lead me to believe that, if nominated, I will as- suredly receive their support. The Examinet has nothing against me personally, whatever; the Examiner's fight is made against Mr. Mc- Nab, and whenever I am hit, I am being hit over his shoulders. I have the warmest kind of supporters i thie convention. I made this fight and my friends were in this fight for me long before Gavin MENab was heard of. In fact, MeN; was flot with me at the outset. I have not e tered into a combination of any kind.

Nab are warmly and enthusiastically in my favor. I am not Interested in the chairman fight. I favor any man who stands for the high prin. ciples of Democracy and who is.the choice of the delegates. 1 believe myself to be superior to the will of any one man and I would nof accept the nomination if I did not think so, If I am nominated and elected I will upholc the principles of my party.
