The session promises to be as rowdy as a candidates’ ball on the skidway. And before the final gavel falls, candidates will have been launched; other candidaeies will have been blasted; deals will have been made, combinations broken and plots vestigated. Between time California’s intimes, of course, there will be a certain amount of legislating, but mostly it will be what the: ‘boys call ‘‘politicking’’—a business with more angles than advanced trigonometry! To get proper perspective on the forthcoming session, imagine (if you can) a sudden merger of the Republican and Democrattic state conventions on the eve of a bitter campaign, with liberals and conservatives, radicals and reactionaries, all bidding for the same spotlight; all housed in the same chamber. The meeting coming up is on that order. Nearly every legislator—each of their presiding officers and the governor who called them into spe cial -session—is a candidate. And in many instances they are rivals for tne same office! Govemor Merriam, ers his message to will stand only a Lieutenant Governor, George Hatfield, his hard hitting challenger. And Hatfield, as he looks down on the chamber, will be taken the measure of Senator Culbert Olson, Democratic contender, Nearby will be Senator “Bill’’\Rich of Marysville, president pro tem of the Senate— a possible’ contender for the job Hatfield is vacating. And scattered about the room willbe manyother wouldbe lieutenant Jerrold Seawell of Roseville and Assemblyman Ellis Patterson of King City, whose hats are already in the ring; Senators Nielsen, Phillips, Knowland, Swing and McGovern, all possible aspirants. —_ Speaker William Moseley Jon es of the assembly will be there, too— seeking $50,000 for his Los Angeles investigating committee and wondering about his possible candidacy for Attorney General; not far away will be Assemblyman Boyle, Los Angeles and Donihue, Oakland, both candidates for seats on the Board of Equalization. Then there will be Senators ‘“‘Andy”’ Pierovich of Jackson and “Jim’ Holohan of Santa Cruz, both thinking about a tilt with State Treasurer “Gus’’ Johnson. And on top of all that, counit in a dozen assemblymen and congressional ambitions, ers aspiring to be judges and a host of lower seeking promotion when he delivthe lawmakers, few feet from with othsenators a few hous2 members, to the Senate.

The session promises to be as rowdy as a candidates’ ball on the skidway. And before the final gavel falls, candidates will have been launched;

other candidaeies will have been blasted; deals will have been made, combinations broken and plots vestigated. Between time California’s intimes, of course, there will be a certain amount of legislating, but mostly it will be what the: ‘boys call ‘‘politicking’’—a business with more angles than advanced trigonometry! To get proper perspective on the forthcoming session, imagine (if you can) a sudden merger of the Republican and Democrattic state conventions on the eve of a bitter campaign, with liberals and conservatives, radicals and reactionaries, all bidding for the same spotlight; all housed in the same chamber. The meeting coming up is on that order. Nearly every legislator—each of their presiding officers and the governor who called them into spe cial -session—is a candidate. And in many instances they are rivals for tne same office! Govemor Merriam, ers his message to will stand only a Lieutenant Governor, George Hatfield, his hard hitting challenger. And Hatfield, as he looks down on the chamber, will be taken the measure of Senator Culbert Olson, Democratic contender, Nearby will be Senator “Bill’’\Rich of Marysville, president pro tem of the Senate— a possible’ contender for the job Hatfield is vacating. And scattered about the room willbe manyother wouldbe lieutenant Jerrold Seawell of Roseville and Assemblyman Ellis Patterson of King City, whose hats are already in the ring; Senators Nielsen, Phillips, Knowland, Swing and McGovern, all possible aspirants. —_ Speaker William Moseley Jon es of the assembly will be there, too— seeking $50,000 for his Los Angeles investigating committee and wondering about his possible candidacy for Attorney General; not far away will be Assemblyman Boyle, Los Angeles and Donihue, Oakland, both candidates for seats on the Board of Equalization. Then there will be Senators ‘“‘Andy”’ Pierovich of Jackson and “Jim’ Holohan of Santa Cruz, both thinking about a tilt with State Treasurer “Gus’’ Johnson. And on top of all that, counit in a dozen assemblymen and congressional ambitions, ers aspiring to be judges and a host of lower seeking promotion when he delivthe lawmakers, few feet from with othsenators a few hous2 members, to the Senate. No mater what happens on ing or oil or relief, it will be quite a session.
