He listened to the stories from Los Angeles that Senator Hahn of Pasadena entertained the notion of becoming a candidate for the second place on the Republican State ticket. The politiclans said to Anderson: “If this is true that Senator Hahn is out for Lieu- tenant Governor, the only thing for you to do is to declare your candidacy for Governor.” Should the Lieutenant Governor make up his mind to enter the contest for the first place on the ticket Northern Califor- nia would have three aspirants for Gov- ernor on the Republican side, one from Humboldt, one from Siskiyou and one from Sacramento. In the political camps the betting is even that Congressman Gil- lett will become a candidate for re-elec- tlon to Congress from the First District. Many of his supporters assert that he is making a serious mistake in relinquishing a sure thing to grasp at an uncertainty. It is quite wel understood that Gov- ernor Pardee went south to look over the fleld and survey his own fences. Several good pleces of ‘‘patronage” are at the dis- posal of the appointing power, and there would Re no surprise if the next Insurance Commissioner or the next appointee to the Board of Bank Commissioners should hail from the south. Just before golng out of office Governor Gage appointed W. L Foley attorney for the State Board of Health. Governor Pardee may decide that a change In the office would not be advis- able, as the health of California has been remarkably good under Mr. Foley's ad- ministration—even better than it was un- der the attorney’s predecessors, George A. Knight and Garret W. McEnerney. Thomas J. Geary of Sonoma was in San Francisco yesterday. He probably came to the metropolls to ascertain the true situation of affairs relative to the growing importance of District Attorney Langdon. Democrats are now openly ad- vising the .nomination of Langdon for Governor on their party ticket. The as- saults made on Langdon by the Police Commissioners and the Police Depart- ment add to the District, Attorney's popularity in the wigwam of the Iroquois. Democratic statesmen say that Folk of Missouri was viciously assailed by the corrupt elements of St. Louis when he entered upon his famous crusade against the boodlers of that city. It is Insisted that history is repeating itself—that Langdon will be supremely great if he succeeds in suppressing the vice of no- torious gambling in San Francisco. It is certain that Spellacy, McNab, Tarpey, Geary, Bell, Bienenfeld, Phelan, Sullivan, Hickey and Al McCabe regard Langdon as a factor in Democratic calculations. The original programme for the future, whigh was adopted at Mayor Schmitz's house, the night election returns came in announcing the sweeping victory of the Union Labor party forces, provided that Langdon should be ‘the next Mayor, Schmitz the next Governor and Ruef the next United States Senator. The cham- pagne imbibed iIn ratifying this compact was equal in quantity and quality to that consumed in the recent acceptance of Downey Harvey's gift to S8an Francisco of a new opera-house of wondrous splendor. Since the political bargain was made Langdon has been lending an ear to Phelan. Ruef has scarcely shown his hand fn an effort to wrest the Senator- ship from Perkins. As a candidate for Governor the Mayor is supposed to be in the hands of his friend and closest adviser, P. H. McCarthy. At the meeting of the Democratic State central committee in Los Angeles, Gavin McNab will be represented by proxy. The gossip goes that Hearst and Tarpey do not approve of the Los Angeles meet- ing. Efforts are being made to hold back Spellacy and induce him to cancel the April call to arms in the south. The chairman of the Democratic State or- ganization wants to quit San Francisco and get out of the zone of factional agi- tation, far away from such agitators as the ‘great Scotchman” and the ‘“great Jjournalist.” —_—————————— Another Body Recovered.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, March 24—A serlous situation Is reported to exist at the mili- tary prison at Alcatraz Island. A report has been received by the military sec- retary of the army from the authorities in charge, urging immediate action in the construction of a prison which shall be of concrets construction, including cells of the same material. It is estimated that the cost of such improvements will be 320,000 and necessity of doing something without delay is based upon the unsaf character of the present structure at Alcatraz Island, which is of wood, with a rude Interlocking system of cell doors. It is reported that if a fire occurred the loss of lifo would be great and in- evitable, due to the inmammable char- acter of the bufldings and the lack of & water supply for fire purposes. It is proJj posed to allot the money necessary foi pthese improvements out of the barracks and quarters appropriation and it is urged that action be taken with as little delay as possible. The Comptroller of the Currency today approved the applications of W. D. Gran- ger, A. Norman Saxton, F. A. Blake Jr. and others to organize the First National Bank of Orange, Cal, with a capital of $26,000. The War Department has decided not now to undertake any work of fortifica- tion at the port of San Pedro. Senators Perkins and Flint recently called the attention of Secretary Taft to the fact that SBan Pedro is unprotected, and that in view of the growing import- ance of the port commercially there was great necessity for providing adequate fortifications there. The Secretary replied today that the de- partment concurred in the views of Gen- eral Mackenzie, chief of the army en- gineers, to whom the matter was referred, that after a full consideration of the sub- ject it had been decided that, while the construction of defenses at San Pedro would probably be necessary in the future on account of the increase of commerce there, its fortification at present was not deemed necessary. ———————— George A.
