The California Derby.

The article discusses the election campaign in California. The Republicans, faced with a heavy Democratic registration, are sedulously imitating California's Governor Ire Warren's successful "non-partisan" pose. Seeking to trick the large Democratic majority, they are masquerading as liberals, whereas the Democrats, sensing a swing to the right, are stressing their conservatism and respectability. With party lines not being emphasized by either side, scarcely existing in fact, it is difficult to forecast the results. Moreover, ever since a system of cross-filing was introduced in 1913, party regularity has declined in importance as a factor in California politics.
