The primary election law guarantees to the people of the city fair dealing at the polls.

I do not, however, desire to precipitate any controversy upon this subject. as in my opinion it is not the province of a United States Senator to min- | gle offensively in such matters. As'a Repubi- can, however, who is anxious that his party shail make no serious mistake, I can say that I am thoroughly convinced that in the nomina- tion of Senator Flint the party will not have made & mistake, as he is clean, able and in every way. fitted for the position. ““Senator Flint advises me that.he will prob- ably enter the race, and he sesms pleased at the assurances of friendship and support given him cduring his recent visit to Los Angeles.” ing Mr. | | EX-SENATOR BU’LiA SPEAKS. | Defines His Position in the Matters | Now at Issue.

ROOMS OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY LEAGUE AND QUARTERS OF THE KELLY-CRIMMINS COUNTY COM- LEAGUE ACTIVITY AND BOSS DEMORALIZATION INDI- CATED BY THE CAMERA. PICTURE OF THE KELLY-GAGE RENDEZVOUS SHOWS THAT THE BOSSES ] - and the hosses at once seized the party | reins. Where open, free and easy pri- maries were ordered the boxes were stuffed by the bosses before the polls were open. In districts where county or Congressional committees could be relied on to appoint boss delegates to the con- vention even the forms of primary election were disregarded. The result was the Res publican State convention at Santa Cruz, presided over by W. C. Van Fleet and dominated by W. F. Herrin. The State Central Committee created by Herrin was indorsed by Herrin and Van Fleet. Every- thing In sight was delivered to the allied bosses. W. C. Van Fleet's subserviency was so deplorably open and flagrant thzul he could make no_excuse or explanation of his conduct. Herrin’s ownership of the committee was undisputed. Herrin regarded the committee as his own agent, and at the close of the campaign gave his check for $4500 to pay the committee’s debts. - Doubtless he reasoned that the railroad ought to pay the debt, as the committee was appointed to do the rail- road’s work. By reference to the records | of disbursements President C. M. Hays of the Southern Pacific can ascertain some- thing of Herrin's transactions in politics. The allied bosses are now giving circula- tion to the report that the owners of the Southern Pacific have countermanded or- ders recently issued by the president of the company and given Herrin special dispensation to do politics in the same old style at the same ol stand.

League clubs are estab- lished in every Assembly district except- ing the Forty-first. In that particular dis- | trict the Central Republican Club, of | which Horace Davis is president, was in | the fleld as an anti-boss organization of demonstrated strength when the league was founded. The enrollment of voters under the aus- pices of the league surpasses original esti- mates. Sixteen days remain for citizens to enroll. In order that the triumph of anti-boss citizenship should be decisive and complete the league enrollment should | approximate 20,000 before August 13. A large enrollment, and consequently a | large vote, will seal the doom of the Kel- ly-Gage boss alliance. Citizens can prop- fairs by going to the polls and voting for | delegates placed in the field by clubs of | the Primary League. Citizens may rest assured that the league has no candidates ‘ to favor, and candidates who are engaged in compromising with boss elements in | order to obtain friendly delegations should be advised to show their true colors. They should be admonished to train openly with Kelly anq Crimmins or come out | squarely for the Republican Primary | League. The last lingering hope of the boss al- liance is a light vote at the primary. It is obvious now that the boss vote will be very light if material reinforcements are not brought into action by Sam Rainey | and the Democratic push. The rooms of | the Kelly-Crimmins county committee are | practicaily = deserted. Voters shun the | place. The camera of the photographer | tells the true story of apathy at boss | headquarters, and the truth is that the | Kelly-Gage alllance has no following to | speak of. All the signs point to utter de- feat of the tax looters. At the headquar- ters of the Republican Primary League | citizens meet and exchange views regard- ing contests in their respective districts. | Good men are not ashamed to train under | the banner of the league. During the | evening hours the league rooms are thronged with earnest and enthusiastic | workers. The afterpoon attendance is shown by the photographic reproduction. Most of the talk about opposition to the Republican Primary League is mere bluff. It is known, however, that the bosses will Tesort to every cunning scheme known to | the adroit in politics to effect compromise | with independent clubs. By resorting to tactics of this kind the bosses hope to di- | vide the elements in favor of clean gov- ernment. When the votes are counted Kelly and his gang will claim every dele- gate_elected by orgapizations outside of | the Republican Primary League. | FOETY»SECONfi DISTRICT. Bossism Denounced at a Meeting of | Citizens in Golden Gate Hall. | The Republican Primary League Club of | | the Forty-second Assembly District held a meeting at Golden Gate Hall last night. R. B. Treat was the chairman of the even- ing and J. E. Slinkey acted as secretary In calling the meeting to order Chair- | man Treat sald the principal aim-of the | club was to secure good municipal of- | ficers. This was to be secured by sending | the best men to the primary conventions. Heretofore the purity of the primary bal- | lot was destroyed through the agency of | political cliqués led by creatures known | as bosses. ‘At the present time,” he continued, | he party is divided into two factions, | one led by the bosses, tne other by men | who desire that the best men in the city should be selected to fill the city offices. To the latter faction this elub belongs. Its | main object is to secure a clean, respecta- | ble and pure city government. The other | club in this district is controiled by that | faction which is known to be in sympathy with Boss Kelly. The best Republicans in the city are with us, and if they go to the polls they will win' the day. If they will do their duty the day of the bosses is over. We may have a hard fight in this district, but in any event our faction will have the support of the best men in the district. With their co-operation the | success of the battle 1s assured.’” D. W. Burchard was then introduced as | one of the speakers of the evening. He began with the statement that he was no officeseeker, but that he was desirous of | seeing a_respectable municipal govern- ment. He spoke of the army of tax- | eaters who are maintained, fed and clothed througn the agency of machine {Jolmcs without offering anything in re- | urn. I. W, Lees called attention to the neces- | sity of registration of voters. The mem- | bership roll was then declared open and | | GURARDELLYS GOGOA, &1 can numerous signatures were placed thereon. Chairman Treat announced that the names of twenty-onme delegates for the district convention would ‘be considered by the executive committee at the league headquarters, 1206 Market street, next Thursday evening, at which time another meeting of the league club will be held. The club then adjourned. FREMONT REPUBLICAN CLUB. Percy V. Long Is Elected President.
