I. Wolfe of San Francisco as President pro tem. of the Senate. In equally quick time } the Assembly met and chose F. G. Prescott as its presiding officer. The day’s proceedings were enlivened by a struggle on the part of some of the solons to i } reduce the amount allowed for patronage. The effort came to naughtand the usual number of plums will be distributed to the party workers. The contest for o i the Senatorship was enlivened by the entrance of Postmaster Arthur Fisk into-the fight. l i SOLONS ARE ANXIOUS TO|| & " START TOGA FIGHT. < CHUDIDATES CONRIDENT | POSTMASTER FISK 'QUT-FOR HONORS Former Speaker’s Appearance in Contest Cause of Much Speculation. | 1 K| sroma 3 Special Dispatch to The Call CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-|rumors and will be indulged in so long MENTO, Jan. 2.—The \Controller is|as men run for office in California. ready to audit the demands of the Leg- | But there is no truth in it.
