ENOWLES RITES May Determine e Governorship ive ira Sinclair — Now Causing Much la-; tion As To “ta Ac- tivities. By W. A. WELLS (By Asseciated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.— In the lull following a primary election battle in which California! contributed to the year’s quota of | of Eugene Edwards, charged with; Miami, George and Ray Knowles political upheavals, voters of the state have paused to take stock of the even more intensive electoral combat which lies ahead. Is it to be a turn to the left be-} hind the leadership of Upton Sin- clair, crusading writer of books who has laid out a line of march which he asserts leads to a poverty-less commonwealth? More than 400,000 registered voters in a state which hasn't} elected a democratic governor since 1894 have designated him as their choice. He got many thousands more} votes than were polled by Atting! Governor Frank F. Merriam, re-} publican candidate who led _ his! nearest contender by around 100,-| 000 ballots. Many Stayed Away Only an approximate 57 cent of the registered troubled to go to the polls at all. Of those who did more than 700,000 didn’t vote for either of the major party nominees. Neither primary winner carried even close to half of the counties of the, state. 1 These 700,000 ballots and ap- proximately a million and a half more that weren't cast in the pri- mary remaiw torbe wooed by the three outstanding candidates ~at the general election. Distribution of these “orphan” ballots apparently will determine who the next governor of the Golden State is to be. Will it be the author Sinclair who first wrote a book outlining & suppositious candidacy that ter- minated in his conquering the state via the ballot box and then proceeding to humble capitali:m by taxation and otherwise, until upon retiring from the governor- ship he delivered a speech. in which he said only one poor per- fon could be found in California, “a religious hermit who lived in a eave?” Of Frank Merriam, re incumbent, or Rayw Haight, commonwealth nomin whose campaign featured an at- the “power trust” Opening Comes T Laying aside his socialist labcl, the open- hapters of hix book come truc i the democratic guber. wh he abandoned a first. $300,- «i issue to finance ac- quisition of idle factories and properties for the benefit of the he still retains most planks, including the pardonin Tom Moone: extablishment of state land col- onies where the unemployed might be self-sustaining; operation of factories; repeal of the sales tax| im favor of a state income tax;! @xempting from taxation homes and farms worth less than $3,000; institution of pensions for the ged, the blind and incapacitated nd widows with dependent chil-| @ren; and letting farmers apply their surplus products toward pay- ment of taxes. inexperience’ Decried Merriam’s appeal for election counters the “ i Poverty in California” slogan of his demo- €ratic rival with the cry “This is} ho time to experiment with in- experience.” He stands for Hef of unemployment; removal of burdens from taxpayers; the} modernization of California's con-| stitution; pledges himself to fight communiom and readjust labor! hours; aid to owners of mortgaged | Property; help to agriculture andj the canning of surplus food; reg-| Wlation of oil production; institu- sive public and the “spend- tng of public funds sanely.” [ONE CASE TRIED © o’clock tomorrow morning. ! re-| ¢ IN COURT TODAY EUGENE EDWARDS TRIED BY JURY AND WAS AC.
