From every hand the accusations nre being hurled at the Hodaou maclilne candidates that the pledge taken by them "to vote for the peonies choire for United States senator, provided he in a Republican," la a direct violation of the platform blocked out for the party by the late convention, and that the juggled pledge hna been taken nlth the sole object In view of defeating th primary law and throwing the senato rial election Into the Joint assembly, where It can be fought out on the old time line of battle, with boodle, blood money and corruption. Tha Hodson machine has not stopped with the leglalatlve ticket, but haa i one Into the contest for tha election of the next city and county central committee. Urged by the personal solicitation of the various members on the leglalatlve slate and by others working with them, among the most active of whom la Fer dinand K.

"The Republican convention pledged all leglalatlve candidates to stand on a Republican voter's choice for United States senator." he said. The Hodson combination have all taken a pledge to vote for the people's choice, provided bo Is a Republican!

March 1.1 ia the time fixed by law for the explra- I tlon of thla privilege, but as the lSth falls on Bunday this year, the discount of 3 per cent will also be allowed on all taxes paid next Monday. The sheriff has been fortified with an opinion to this effect from the district attorney's office. On April 6 all taxes will become de linquent unless the first half haa been paid. Many persons are assessed on personal property only and It has been found impossible to send statements to all, so those who are thus assessed ahould keep an eye on the dato of de linquency.
