Show BOTH NAMES ON BALLOT 1 irfff; i "all-California "all-California Voters May jl$i Vote For Taft or Nfi Teddy Men !j kM Sacramento, Sept 23. "Republl $ 8j cans favoring Taft," and "Republl- Uf Mm cans favoring Roosevelt," are the col- " 1 umn heads under which It Is probable 1$ iB that the secretary of state will place hi -1H two of the seats of presidential clec- LI 'Jm tors to be chosen here tomorrow by IJ va tho nominating conventions. H -m The conventions are composed of Q? '"m the assembly nominees selected at yt W tho recent primaries and "holdover" t'iil stato senators. Candidates pledged fjiPl to the support of Roosevelt and John- ffffl son were widoly successful at the gv J primaries and the outcome of the Re- II publican convention Is so much a go gl foregone conclusion that the Taft men h iS have announced their program In ad- w vance. B w They will introduce a resolution !jji "jf? endorsing President Taft and If, as ia-rM they expect, it Is defeated, they will Srai walk out, organize a convention of d?ff$ their own, and nominate their own set Fy J I of electors, immediately thereafter K f 1 bringing suit in the federal courts to kU J contest the right of the Roosevelt PHH electors to a place on the November fv" .ballot under the designation, "Repub- fjjH I Ilcau." IHjfl i So much uncertainty exists as ta IrUM the" legality of the whole prlmar? ,'. & statute, that the Democrats, who hav K WM no contests, and the Roosevelt Pro- p' -?5 gresslves have both taken the pre- v HI caution to avail themselves of a - f JBH clause In tho law permitting any party tj Sl to place electors on the ballot if It j TU can obtain petition signatures equal rj t M in number to 3 per cent of the total I'M vote of tho stato at the last general "iB election. The Taft men have dis- kbI dained a petition and will stand on rJjB Ithe contention that they are the only inB Republicans of the state. ' |
