Has Not Yet Secured House for His Family at the Capital. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 1. Dr. George C. Pardee, the man who will Lecome Governor of.-the sovereign State of California in just seven days, spent a He remained at his Oakland home during the entire day and dined with his family at their usual diring hour. . The next Governor of our State did not Year's day sense of those words, but did | it in the Pardee sense, which means that Lis latchstring is alwags out for his friends and his neighbors, and to Dr. Par- | €ee his neighbors are all those who live in | Alameda County, The result was that the Governor-elect received more callers Cay than did those who kept a social ‘open house.” Pardee bell various rooms of the Pardee mansion were kept full of those who were waiting to pay their respects to the Governor. | All of them came to wish the new ex- | ecutive a “happy new yvear” and but few | | of them did mare than to pass the com- pliments of the season. Even the place- ‘open house”” in the ardinary New | During the entire day the | was on the tinkle and the | | hunter, who was in evidence on the first | of the year as well as the last, made Lis appearance upon the Pardee threshold, but most of them refrained from trying to | advi nee their cause by more than their presence and their well wishes; one wish for the Governor and two for themselves. On the whole it was a day not very different from any other in the Pardee household these days, unless it be that | there were slightly more of those who came ta call upon the doctor and his fam- ily for the sake of sincerely wishing him well for the new year than for the sake of securing favors from the incoming Governor. Those who came for tlie purpose of try- ing to talk places for themselves or their triends -were no more successful upon this, the eve of the departure of Dr. Pardee for Sacramento, than they have been upon any other day. Dr. Pardee is a past master in the art of not talking politics and places and the information seeking TO WORK Miss Ruby Wedd of t a Broader Field ERKELEY, Jan. 1-To bring sunshine into the lives of the’ despalring poor,’ to make ‘the world seem more than a tread- -mill to the hopeless denizens of New York tenements: this is the life. work which Miss Ruby Wedd, a col- | iege girl of the class of '02, his mupped caller gets very little comfort. The Gov- | kes a great deal of interest and before the caller has ecutive presence very long he finds himself telling the quiet doctor all about himself. The next Governor takes refuge behind the fact that most people like to talk about themselves as the easiest way to avoid discussions the time for which may not be ripe. So it is that Dr. cussed any of the thousand and one things that the people would like to know about the new Governor. It is absolutely impossible to get him to talk patronage and places. “I have had so many things to attend to,” erncr-elect t in every ome ministration any attention. Besides, F am not Governor yet, and there is plenty of time for the consideration of these things. T have not paid any attention to patron- agc."” "\s 2 matter of fact, Dr. Pardee has paid very little attention to patronage more than to take a survey of the situation in a most general way and to acauaint himself with the matters that will require immedi- ate attention. It can be =rated as a fact that there will be no moves made toward the general distribution of patronage until after the Legislature adjourns and that only such matters will be given attention as will have to be considered during the | sesslon. Dr. Pardee has held places that require the distribution of political patron- age, and, understanding the difficulties that will beset him, he is only anxfous to postpone the evil day as far as possible. There are several questions .that™ will | have to be settled in the mind of Dr, Par- dee before he goes to Sacramento for in- One of these is the dlsposi- fon of appointments that have already been made, but not yet confirmed by the Senate, and over which there may be a contest. - It can be said in this connectign that Governor Pardee will pass these cases up to the Senate. There 18 ample precedent for withdrawing nominations that” have been made between the meet- of Legislatures, that Dr. Pardee-will' avail himself very freely, if at all, of this privilege. It is probable that the Senate will be asked to act instead of the Governor, and, as the delegation from.Alameda County in- the Senate is quite large and friendly to the new Governor, this method will probably be pursued rather than di- rect actlon of the Executive. The new Governor has kept almost en- tirely at home since his return from his outhern California. He has been an Francisco but few times and these few times have nearly always been at public gatherings. He attended the ban quet over the inauguration of the Pacific cable, the Union League Club reception, and in the two months succeeding election dec has been in the metropolis half a dozen times. The politi- are wondering at this, but the new Governor has allowed the wonder to grow and has kept on quietly preparing for the opening of his administration. What this preparation has been no one but Dr. Pardee knows. He keeps his own counsel and has no cabinet of adviser: He has recognized the propricties and has [ | had one long consultation with Governor Gage in San Francisco. What took place at that conference only those two know. Beyond that his conferences have been but few. Even the date of the departure of Lhe new Governor is uncertain. A most ex- haustive search through the length and breadth of Sacramento has failed to re- veal a house that the Governor could rent for his family. There have been nearly as many trips made to Sacramento upon this quest as there have been to San Francls- co, but the Governor's family is, as yet, officially homeless. The question of a house in the capital city has been dropped | for the time being and hotel accommoda- tions have been wired for, with the ex- pectation that a house can be secured during the session of the Legislature. Dr. Pardee will leave his Oakland home with Mrs. Pardee on Saturday or Sunday. The doctor's four daughters will remain in Oakland with their aunt until a home is found in Sacramento. The young ladies will go to the capital to witness the in- augtration of their father, and some of | them to attend the inaugural ball.
