mending a policy to be pursued. The

port ' la Monday, January 9. Flfty
' seven j Republican legislators attended
1 the caucus and the vote on the propo
. sition to appoint the committee re
ferred to was 48 to 9. \
■ "While there wan" some feeling dis
played hi the caucus on the part of the
• opponents of the plan, it Is confidently
, asserted that they will 'make no further
fight against the majority, but will ac
'.tjulesce to whatever report Is made, by
the committee of fifteen.
. A long ' caucus was held this after
; noon by: the Republicans prior to ; the
afternoon session of 1 the legislature.
One element was in favor of proceeding
•at cilice. with the canvass and of post
pontng the receipt of the . governor's
message until later. It was dually de
termined, however, to put the canvass
over until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

The senate, put the matter squarely
: up to the house by sending to that
body a' resolution providing for a joint
session to canvass the vote at' 2:30 this
afternoon. :,Tho notitlcation of the pass
age of the resolution was not given to
■ the house until after 3 o'clock and It
■wits ucefpted by the house with the
amendment that 10 o'clock tomorrow

instead tot this afternoon.

lor ; Hi.' (uirpuM •>, I'.Miiiuv Hi' message'
of Governor ' 1'enbody. The. message
mid- by. the governor '' dealt, for the
'most' part, with recommendations con
cerning reports from the various stale
institutions. . On the question of elec
tions the, message was as follows:
"The fraudulent conduct of elections
under our present ' system demands
your .'Immediate, and concentrated ac
tion.' ' In a general way it, seems suft!
dent to say that' a modern primary
"and registration law should be enacted
and the advisability of introducing vot
ing machines should be considered, in
furrow .we must admit that the elec
tive franchise, especially in, Denver,
has been sadly misused and prostituted.
J Pot lent people- protest and these out
rages ■ should be ended."
' Peabody on Labor Troubles
: .On tile labor . troubles the. governor,
after urging the adoption of a reason
able eight-hour law, said:
"Early in my administration a certain
organization known ' as . the Western
Federation of Miners, claiming public
consideration. under the name of labor,
whose' 'officers' and those in direct
charge of its management are bold,
careless, reckless men, attempted, to
foment .trouble in ; several Industrial
'sections 'of Colorado to the end that
that ■. particular organization should
have recognition in" the .operation and
management of the mines, mills and
smelters, wherever located in the state,
.Which', efforts culminated in the arbi
trary calling- of the most senseless,
causeless, unjustifiable and .' Inexcusa
ble 'strikes' ever known in this or any
other •country. ■ ,
"Believing that my duty to the poopl?
of this state lay. in protecting life and
property in advance of annihilation, 1
proceeded to stop the unlawful methods
of this reckless band of men. Suffice
it to •; say, law and order was main
tained, peace ■ restored and prosperity
immediately followed.
"I recommend the passage of an act
by , your honorable body prohibiting
boycotting, picketing, unfair lists or
other interference with the lawful busi
ness, or occupation of others and pro
vide a suitable penalty therefor.
', "The principles. upon which I stand
and which have caused me to take th«
action i have in maintaining law and
order in this state are that the rights
of. every citizen to enjoy life and lib
erty and the right to acquire, possess,
enjoy and protect his property are in
herent and indefeasible. The right of
the .worklngman to Bell his labor to
anyone wishing to purchase it for law
ful purposes is 'equally his Inherent
right. Labor has undisputed rights to
organize and cease work, either us in
dividuals or us an organization, for
Mich reasons as may seem to them*
pelves satisfactory; but when they at
tempt to prevent others from perform
ing the nuinu work, or to prevent the
employer' from employing others to
curry on hit) work, their actions are un
lawful and cannot be tolerated."

ASPIRANTS SEEK
CORPORATE AID
WAIT FOR HERRIN, IS THE
WORD IN SACRAMENTO
QUESTION IS MORE COMPLEX
New Factor It Introduced Into Strug*
gle by Entry of Abe Ruef, San
Francisco's Republican
Boss ■
By a Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, JbH. s.— "Will the
people of California name their next
United States Senator or "will they be
forced Into the background by the so
called 'organization. dominated by
Herrln and the railroad gang and be
forced to submit to the choice of the
corporations?". This Is the question
that Independent legislators and inter
ested spectators ore now' asking them
selves, since It has become evident that
certain of the senatorial aspirants arc
bailing their claims for the toga upon
corporate Influences. . . ... . . .
Notwithstanding that the legislature
has been In session for four. days, the
senatorial question is more ' compli
cated than ever. The "tip".' has passed
down the lino, "Walt for word from
Herrin."
This -seems to have been responsible
for all the confusion. : Apparently all
that is. being done toward settling the
senatorshlp is 'the swapping of views
by the different aspirants.' The gen
eral topic of discussion in , the hoUl
lobbies and on the streets Is: "What
will Ilerrln say about this or that can
didate! ?", or "Whom does he want for
the place?" .
It was reported- today that Ifrulik
Flint and Walter. Parker will go to
San Francisco tomorrow to hold a con
ference with Herrln. Hen'ry_T. Oxnard
visited the metropolis', yesterday, but
the nature of his, visit Is not known.
Organization Candidates
. Flint and \ Knight are termed "or
ganization men", and this has led many
to the belief that , the senatorial fight
is between those two. However, there
is ti strong sentiment 'against Knight
in , both' tho' south and north and hi 3
candidacy Is not regarded in nny wise
serious" by'ithuse'iiql identified with the
machine. * •'. ■■> .''*• V ■,-'•'■. *' '„■■..'

porters, are steadily gaining strength.
"Tom"; Hughes, and ■ vBob" . Wade of
Los Angeles arrived today, and after
inquiring' into the situation they ex
pressed; themselves as greatly pleased
.with the outlook.' ■. A telegram was
received, from Senator Bard, saying he
will reach Sacramento from Washing
ton Monday, to 'take, personal charge
of his campaign. Tho Fisk boom was
set back today, when it 1 was rumored
that he had entered the fight as a Per
kins candidate with the object of split
ting the northern vote so that the toga
will go south. Flak, ho'wsver. denies
that he Is a compromise candidate.
Senator Bard's stock went up several
points' tonight when the news was
friven out thai the senator had left
Washington and "was now on his way
to California. It was two days ago
that the Bard managers telegraphed to
the senator "that it would be absolutely
necessary for him to be on 'the- ground
when tho balloting begins. He replied
that ha would not be able to leave his
desk until the statehood and irrigation
bills, in which ho is interested, had
been seen through. A subsequent dis
patch was reecived, telling of the de
parture of Bard, and he is expected to
arrive in a few days. • ■ ;
Hopes also went up In the Bard head
quarters when Thomus Hughes of Los
Angeles arrived to assist in the incum
bent's campaign.
"It Is my firm belief that there will
be a deadlock over the senatorial quesi
tlon,"-sald Henry T, Oxnard tonight
after he had returned from San Fran
cisco, where he had gone to look after
business interests and rest.
Will Not Ask President* Aid
In reply to a rumor that at the last
moment George A. Knight might seek
aid from President Roosevelt, tho for
mer said : ' ' ■
"I intend to rely entirely on my own
resources and could not place the presi
dent In such a compromising position.
As a, matter of fact I am gaining
strength and' (irmly believe that this
momentum will increase up to tho very
time of my election."
Quito a flurry wan caused when It
was ' announced that I. W. Hellman
had sent word from San Francisco that
he la a candidate for the senutorshlp
and that he will soon put In an appear
ance to strengthen his claim. \
"The voting during the first few
days on the senatorial question will
not show anything," said Frank Flint
tonight, "In my estimation It will bo
some time before a decisive; vote will
be reached."
There Is considerable talk about the
hotel lobbies tonight to the effect that
a caucus will In all probability be held
at the bay Bide city next Saturday
night.
John Mott."\V. Hi Booth and W. J.
Wauhburn'of the Fl|nt camp left this
