KER OF HOUSE PRESCOTT DESERTS BARD AND JOINS FLINT SAYS BARD WILL NOT WIN Assemblyman From Redlands Explains His Position. L g AEITOR. I DELSTAV - —The ion same late s announced first night, when it w that without warning or explanation Speaker Frank C. Prescott had aban- doned the camp of Senator Bard and joined the forces of Frank P. Flint torial contest. Flint's sup- ength, though depression is not 1'oticeabl at Bard’s headquarters, id that it was known two Herrin and programmed thé Speaker- ship. Prescott, however, will not have that way. He strenuously denies that he was elected under a pledge to his constituents to support Bard first and last, and erts that he entered the contest with diametrically op- | posite views, based on the fact that to develop an is it was necessary for him to act independently, as his Dem- ocratic opponent was an avowed Bard gupporter. Speaker Prescott was located at the home of friends and readily consented | . to explain, over the telephone, his pusi- tion. “Yes, it is true,” he said, “that I have announced myself in favor of the can- didacy of Mr. Flint. I did this, how- ever, only after a thorough study oi the situation and mature deliberation. I am now confident that Senator Bard . has not a ghost of a show to succeed .* Speaker. Mr. himself and my belief that he has been eliminated from the race resulted in my being in favor of Mr. Flint. I pro- ceeded on the belief that if we all get behind Mr. Flint we can elect him. is necessary that Southern California be recognized and that we elect a Sen- ator this time from our district. We - cannot re-elect Bard, so I am going to do all I can to elect Mr. Flint. I know Flint very well; we have friends for some time and I am thor- oughly familiar with his record.. Men- tally, morally and socially he is all that could be desired and would honor California in the Senate of the United States.” “Were you elected by voters that were under the impression that you ‘were pledged to Bard?"’ was asked. “No, was not” answered the “While it is true that during the campaign the San Bernardino Sun printed an article the headlines of which said I was unequivocally pledged to Bard, the article did not bear out “this statement and explained my posi- tion correctly.” “Then you came here as a Flint man and not as a Bard man, as was gener- ally supposed?” ‘‘Well, hardly, yes,” answered Pres- cott. “I intended to vote for Mr. Flint from first to last, and the impression that T have only changed now in grati- tude for the elevation to the Speaker's chair is mot correct. I am absolutely free; no strings are upon me. My only desire is that Southern California shail have the Senmator, and belleving that | pirants to convince the Legislature that | Ba cannot be re-elected, I have an- ADVERTISEMENTS.

Sl g e LEADERS ARE TO CONFER. Meeting May Take Place in San Fran- ciséo Next Saturday. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5.—The first conference of leaders to bring about a union of the Republicans of the south may take place in San Francisco next Saturday or It may be postponed so as7to take place here immediately after the arrival of Senator Bard and U. Grant. . The latter, it is said, has ar- ranged to attend the meeting of the Presidential electors in this city next Monday. Events may suggest the in- troduction of Grant as a candidate ac- ceptable to the several factions. The question is asked in all camps, | “Where will the Arthur Fisk bunch go z\\'hen the break comes?’ The impres- | i sion gains that the supporters of the Postmaster’s candidacy will be used to advance the position of some aspirant from the south, so that Senator Per- kins shall not be confronted by obsta- cles four years hence. The Ruef delegation of San Fran- cisco statesmen will disintegrate at the “proper time.” Knight boomers who are claiming the ultimate support of the San Francisco delegation will prob- ably find that Ruef has made other ar- rangements. \ The notion that President Roosevelt is losing much needed sleep nights in consequence of the uncertainty of the outcome of the battle for the Senator- ship in California is becoming stale and unprofitable. It is known that Roose- velt has a speaking acquaintance with several of the candidates, and it is also known in a general way that he doesn’t care which one succeeds provided the Legislature does not choose a man who is tied up hard and fast to the railroad corporations. | The peculiarity of the present contest in Sacramento is the eagerness of as- the railroad is with them in the fight for the Senatorship, and also that they will be with the President in his fight on the railroads. el g e HELPING A FRIEND.

Grant was in Kansas City to-day. “I have been in Jefferson City for several days,” he said, “working ] the old soldiers in the Xn'firesm of my friend, Richard Kerens, in‘his can- vass for election_to the Senate to suc- ceed Cockrell. I came all the way from San Diego, Cal., to help him if I could.

As- semblyman McCartney favored the ! resclution and wanted it passed at | once, | A messenger from the Senate then announced that concurrent resolution | providing for the appointment of a cominittee to report on the form of printed bills had be: passed in the | upper house. The nate resolution { was adopted and Speaker Prescott ap- pointed u committee consisting of As- semblymen Cromwell, McCartney and Hcuser to act in conjunction with the Senate committee. The matter was made a special order for to-morrow | morning. Assemblyman E. W. Treadwell of San Francisco gave notice that at the next meeting he would make a motion the repcrt of the committee on rules | was adopted. |; The following additional list of at- taches was then appointed, using all | the patronage at the disposal of the | Assemblymen: A.

The clause in the rules which caused Treadwell to jump the programme is the making of the San Francisco dele- gation a standing committee “to whom may be rgferred matters of interest in particular to the city and county of San Francisco: but not to the exclu- sion “of jurisdiction of other commit- tees.” % Treadwell, it seems, was not aware of the plan of. his colleagues to have this gation argued with Treadwell amd en- tion, claiming that San Francisco could not get proper recognition on the floor of the Assembly except as a standing committee. Treadwell informed his colleagues that he would “think about the matter. AL BRIEF SESSION OF SENATE. Mu’fiy Members of Upper House Are Excused Until Monday.

A. Forbes and His Political Associates Now Coutrol Yuba County’s Pioneer Paper. | The Marysville Appeal, one of the Inld?sl daily papers in California, was | sold’ yesterday to a Marysville com- | pany, at the head of which is Colonel { A. Forbes, the well known lawyer | of that city. Fifteen days ago Forbes and a number of his associates pur- chased the Marysville Democrat and, - placing W. M. Cutter in the managing editor’s chair, declared that the future policy of the paper would be political- ly independent. Forbes and his political friends had | long been bitterly assailed by Editor | Frank Johnson of the Appeal and when they got control of the Demo- crat they declared war upon the rival newspaper owner. Realizing that | Forbes and his_associates, who are prominent in Republican politics in Yuba County, would be able to turn the county patronage, which he had | enjoyed for many years, to their own | paper, Editor Johnson gracefully de- | clared his intention of retiring from the newspaper field in that section of the State. The result was the sale of the Appeal to Forbes and his friends. Colonei Forbes, who is staying at the Palace Hotel, last night confirmed the news from Marysville that the Ap- peal had been sold and added that Railroad Commissioner A. C. Irwin, who is a director and stockholder in | the Democrat, had been appointed | temporary business manager of the other paper. The Appeal will con- | tinue as a Republican journal. —_————— Horse Falls on Mounted Policeman. While pursuing an automobile last night on Fulton street, near Eighth avenue, Mounted Policeman Edward Pigeon was injured by his horse fall- ing on him. Pigeon, believing the ma- a license, called | to the chauffeur to stop. Instead of obeying the command he increased the speed. Pigeon’s body was bruised. He was treated at the Park Emergency | Hospital. ————— He finds there’s many a slip when he |takes a dip. In Next Sunday's Call— o . the question of form in which bills are to be presented was again discussed at length and finally resulted in the adoption of a resolution providing for | the appointment of a joint committee to consider the question and report back Monday. The report of the special committee on contingent ex- penses was received and approved. The report of the committee on rules will be ready Monday. Many Senators were excused to-day | from further attendance this week and it is possible that when the high- er house reconvenes to-morrow it will find that a quorum is, not present, { which will necessitate an abandon- | ment of all proceedings until the new week opens. e e PRISONERS PLEAD GUILTY.—.

They say his coming now will { detract from his dignity and lose him some of the admiration he has gained. The definite announcement of Bard’s | coming has naturally aroused great en- thusiasm at his headquarters and cre- ated excitement among those interest- ed in the election. The presence of a real United States Senator as a can- didate will add largely to the import- ance of the battle. Thomas Hughes of Los Angeles has arrived to join the Bard forces, and his | coming adds to the confidence in the | Senator's camp. Hughes is a leader of recognized force in, the southern ecity, and his enterprise and sagacity are well known. His presence will add much strength to the Bard fight. R. N. ‘Bulla, former Senator, is ex- pected here scon to aid in the Bard fight, and other prominent Los An- geles Republicans may come up to as- sist. Bard does not lack powerful friends in the city of angels. Oxnard looks- upon himseif as the dark horse—as the man who must come in to recelve for the south that which belongs to it in case neither Bard nor Flint can reach the goal. He is still maintaining his headquarters and stiil receives all comers with that cheerful smile and geniality that cannot but make him friends, even if they are not potent enough to draw votes already tied up somewhere else. L. M. Andrews and Walter Bacon are still managing Oxnard’s fight and they show no dejection. It is evident that they feel the lightning will tear things up very close to them and con- sequently there is no talk of withdraw- ing the Oxnard camp. Oxnard points to the fact that he is a friend of Presi- dent Roosevelt and that he is an advo- vate of the policy inaugurated by Roosevelt and which will be carried out for the next four years. It is said by Oxnard’s friends, however, { that his greatest desire is that the new Senator shall be from the south and | that if he fln’ls he cannot win the fight he wil cast’his influence in favor of some other southern candidate, A local paper, while Oxnard was in San Francisco, published a story that he had left Sacramento in a huff be- cause his candidacy had not been aken seriously enough and that he would not return. The publication evidently perturbed Oxnard, who is passing through his first cam; and doesn’t realize perhaps like some of ‘the other ‘candidates just what a soft path he is being allowed to travel. So open and so quiet has been this fight up to date that the candidates in- | JJ. volved are drifting into a condition that will cause them to die of shock if they ever get mixed up in a real stren- uous battle for a toga: “I merely went to San Francisco to leather ends; see my brother off for the East” said Sl ) Oxnard, “and transact some bullnc-.l Sl 25¢ I haven’t the least intention of to mmwmm-mmm‘&m‘..
