REPUBLICANS IN C00D FORM:- State Committee Will Likely Meet in March or April to Issue Convention Call ASPIRANTS FOR OFFICES Counties South of Tehachapi Will Have Great Strength in the Nominating Body Ay Indications signify an early meeting of the Republican State Committee. The members may be called together in March or April to designate a place for helding the nominating convention and fix the-ra- tio of representation. It will be optional with the committee to base the apportion- ment on the vote cast for Governor Par- dee in 1902 or the vote cast for Presiden- tial Electors in 1904 The call for the Republicar State Con- vention of 1904 contained th, paragraph: That the apportionment of delegates to said State_convention shall be: One delexate for each 200 votes cast for Hon. George C. Pardee, Republian nonjinee for Governor, in the As- sembly district or county where more than one is embraced in the Assembly district at the general election held in November, 1802, and one delégate for a majority fraction there- of; provided that any county casting less than such majority fraction for said nominee shall bo entitled to one delegate. If the representation should be based on the vote of 192 the numerical strength of the San Francisco delegation would not be formidable. Should the committee elect to fix the apportibnment on the vote of 1%04 the delegation from this city would comprise nearly one-fourth of the con- vention. The vote for Roosevelt in 1004 was not larger in San Francisco in pro- portion to population than it was else- where in the State, but the average was maintained. ' In Southern California the Roosevelt vote of 1904 was exceptionally heavy, and so was the Pardee vote in 1902. On any basis the counties south of Tehachapi will have tremendous power in the State nominating convention this year. It is probable that the convention will consist of 900 delegates, and the num- ber accredited to San Francisco may not exceed 190. The Republican party in California is in much better condition to-day than it was early in 1902. The rush of deserters to get back into the party ranks signifies to the politicians that a Republican nomination will be very nearly equivalent to an elec- tion. It is noted that the political agents of the Southern Pacific Company are not jdle. Doubtless Herrin would be gratified if the delegates from Fisk’s Thirty-sev- enth District, Ruef's Forty-fifth District and _ Lynch's Twenty-eighth District should be thrown into a common pool with Walter Parker's contingent from Los Angeles. The SoutBern Pacific will surely play the old game of rounding up as many del- egations as possible. The advent of the ‘\\ estern Pacific and Ocean Shore rall- | roads is likely to complicate the situation. However, when it comes to the selection of Equalizers and Railroad Commission- ers the transportation companies will act as one. The aspirants for the office of Governor are numerous, but open declarations of candidacy are vet to come. Most likely the lid will come off at the league con- vention in Santa Cruz next May. It is common talk in political circles that Gov- ernor Pardee would welcome a renomina- tion. On the strength of what is regarded as the Governor's candidacy for re-elec- tion Lieutenant ‘Governor Alden Ander- son, Secretary of State Charles F. Curry and Railroad Commissioner Orrin Hen- derson are not in the fleld as candidates against Pardee for the first place on the ticket. It is different, howeger, with Warren Porter, Frank H. Short¥nd J. O. Hayes. Commoni gossip in political camps accredits to each a desire to gain the gubernatorial nomination. Ruef is sup- posed to be the special champion Hayes, but the impression exists that P. H. McCarthy and Ruef are not in accord Mayor Schmitz is McCarthy's choice for Governor, but the | latter hints that the momination should come from the forces of organized labor | through the agency of the Union Labor party. George A. Knight is spoken of as a pos- sible candidate for the Republican nom- | ination for Governor. He makes no secret | of his opposition to Governor Pardee. Knight is in Washington, having accepted an invitation to dine with the President on February 9. LIVE SESSION OF CLUBWOMEN YESTERDAY The California Club, the bigges!. and most worthwhile club in San ¥Fran- cisco, vesterday reached a turnpike of its career—and held to the right road, £0 thought the body politic of the or- ganization. Since coming into its beautiful new home at 1720 Clay street many club members had become ambitious to pay oft the debt Incurred faster than the prevailing dues would permit. A raise of dues was suggested— from $6 per annum to $9. The revising committee duly considered the proposi- tion, adopted it and presented it to the club for consideration. But—and herein is why the fun began—a minor- ity report raising the dues to $12 was presented by a phalanx of members, led by one of the most aggressive of its founders. And a warm debate en- sued, warm, dignified and more or less intelligent. And with the aid of Miss Mary Fairweather, the club parliamen- tarfan, and Miss Eliza D. Keith, a past master of procedure, the matter was nicely adju#ted—in favor of the $9 arrangement. The vanquished went down to de- feat bravely, and the victors crowed not overmuch—one of the vital things the woman's club is teaching her. To be a good loser 1is a lesson learned only in the world's school, and to which women have only just been privileged to enter. The California Club, under Mrs. Ay- lett R. Cotton’s regime, has prospered bravely—not only in the civic and edu- cational tasks it has set for {tself, but in its financial undertakings. To-day the club is the richest woman's club in the State, and its financial policy is living refutation to the worm-worn theory that women are not equipped for finances. These peo- ple don’t know Mrs. Cotton, Mrs. Had- win Swain, Mrs. Arthur Cornwall and a score of other equally clever man- fpulators of facts and figures. —_——— Uphold Contested Codicil.

SAUSALITO, Feb. 6.—Major John Mason, a prominent and highly re- spected citizen of this town, passed away at noon to-day at his residence near Alameda Point. His remains were taken to San Francisco. | Major Mason was born in County An- trim, Ireland, seventy-six years ago. He came to this State in 1850, making the trip around the Horn, and engaged in the contracting and building busi- ness. He built the first Jewish syna- gogue in San Francisco.

He embarked in the manufacture of soft drinks, building up a good business. Mr. Ma- gon was the first to manufacture steam beer on this ceast. Major Mason saw considerable military service. He was one of the organizers .of the Union Guards and was their captain for many years. When John McComb was brig- adler general of the National Guard of California Mason was on his staff, ranking as major, In political life he was always a Re- publican. He was Supervisor from the Second Ward in San Francisco in | 1880-1882, serving as chairman of the Committee on Bulldings. He was also Fire Commissioner for several terms.
