Railroad Commissioner Henderson Says Knife Is Being Freely Used SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. STOCKTON, Aug 11.—Orrin S. Hen- derson, the present Railroad Commis- sioner from the Third District, who seeks renomination at the hands of the coming Republican State convention, and the so-called powers that be in San Joaquin Republican politics have clashed. The personnel of the San Joaquin delegation to the State con- vention is the bone of contention. Yesterday Henderson created qulite a sensation by coming out with an open letter to the Republican electors of Ban Joaquin, in which he stated that after being encouraged, Indorsed and supported generally by Republicans all over his district he had approached ine precincts of his home city anu found the first and only opposition to his re- | nomination. He charged the party or- ganization of San Joaquin with seeking in an underhanded manner to accom- plish his defeat. He stated that when he presented the party leaders with a list of men who would be acceptable to him as delegates they threw it out and refused to counsel with him. Today E. P. Foltz and F. J. Dietrich, | the chalrman and secretary respective- | ly of the Republican county committee, came back at Henderson with another open letter, in which they called Hen- | derson a liar, in polite terms, of course. They accuse him of wapting a delega- | tlon that he can trade for all State |offices at his will. They deny having opposed his candidacy and declare that | inasmuch as Stockton has another can- didate for a State office in the person of W. W. Middlecoff, who seeks the 00 in his possess arrest. He says he is a of his groceryman. to mn‘r.“ | s o . i WILL & FINCK | Reliable Cutlers and Sporting Goods Manufacturers *. OPEN AT 1942 Market, Cor.

Mackenzie}ea and Par- kinson Noisily Oppos- ing Hayes Brothers Walfer Parker Busy in Southern Counties By Thomas B. Sullivan. HE struggle for political premacy among the Republicans ot Santa Clara County is begin- ning to assume all the necessary |proportions of a rough-gnd-tumble fight, and the shrew ones are beginning | to suspect that something more than the personal ambitions of Supreme Jus- tice W. G. Lorigan and the Hayes brothers will be involved before the end is reached. There is absolutely no | question that every faction in the coun- ty is enthusiastically in support of the candidacy of Justice Lorigan. He is universally popular, has given distin- guished service to the highest court in the State and knows enough of practi- | cal politics to look carefully to the| character of the men elected at the pri- maries. It would appear, therefore, that he is very able to take care of himself, but he is suffering from a surplus of friends. Those eminent political pur- ists, Johnny Mackenzie, Jim Rea and J. F. Parkinson, have discovered a deep, dark scheme of the Hayes brothers to sacrifice Justice Lorigan to their am- bitions. With, perhaps, too loud a ery, Mackenzie, Rea and Parkinson are shouting that after the Brothers Hayes have worn the Santa Clara delegation to threads, trying to shoo the conven- tion to a support of their ambitions, they will throw it to Lorigan, useless and tired out. On the other hand these gentlemen insist that Justice Lorigan will have at their hands all his judicial heart desires. His friends, less noisy in their demonstrations, begin to fear that he| | may be made the buffer in a bitter| | factional quarrel. MacKenzie, Rea and! | Parkinson have made a compact to | su- brothers and there is virtually no doult that Justice Lorigan is shield behind which they are fighting. HAYES BROTHERS NOT IDLE. The Hayes brothers are thoroughly | informed of the situation and seeking to destroy the conspiracy | Parkinson's political standing in Palo | | Alto should aid them materially in| tice Lorigan will keep an eye on the business for the State convention. In the southern part of the State Walter Parker has been busy as a bee | completing the railroad slate of mem- bers of the Legislature. While the| triendships with Governors and to be | on easy speaking terms with Supreme Justices, it insists as a matter of the highest political morality that Legls- latures must be kind. So Walter Par- ker has been busy among the orange look very good to him. Up_to date the railroad slate for the Assembly is something like what fol- lows: Sixty-eighth Assembly District, Thomas Chapman of Rivera; Seven- | tieth, Walter R. Leeds of Los Angeles; Seventy-first, P. A. Stanton of Los An- geles; Seventy-second, W. H. Bryant of Los Angeles; Seveniy-third, J. P. Tran- sue of Los Angeles; Seventy-fourth, Robson O. Bell of Los Angeles; Sev- enty-fifth, Percy Hammon of Los An- geles, All of these aspiring states- men have won a reputation for kind- | ness of heart and gentleness of dispo- | sition In matters affecting any at- ests. THREE-CORNERED CONTEST. | In the Thirty-sixth Senatorial Dis- | trict Senator B. W. Hahn, also kind, | must try his strength in a three- corpered fight for renomination. E mer Moody and Dr. Henry Sherry de- sire the prize and have following enough to make Hahn anxious. In the Thirty-elghth Senatorial District Assemblyman H. S. G. McCartney would like to succeed ‘vorney” Pen- dleton and appears to have the situ- ation completely at his command. Mr. McCartney has always practiced the superlative of kindness to his friends. The Maestrettli funeral has been postponed and it seems settled that Fairfax Wheelan, in unholy alliance with Senator Keane, must score one more defeat in his interesting political | career. Maestretti has made peace with Ruef and will have behind him the al- lled forces of park laborers, police, Almshouse, firemen and the others that make for so much public good In the Thirty-ninth District. ‘When Keane was sent into the Thir- ty-ninth, an invader into territory long | held by Maestrett, it was the purpose | of the administration to administer a little touch of discipline to the Works Board man. He has grown independent | of late and the suggestion of taking | park laborers, police, firemen and the rest of them away from him has had the desired effect. He has promised to be good and the district will be his. This gives marked comfort to Tom At- kinson, who probably will be able to shed some of his political luster in the upper house of the Legislature. ALFORD’S AMBITION, William H. Alford is a candidate for the Democratic nomihation for Gover- nor. He has long been prominent in | Democratic circles, has hosts of friends in all parts of California and would like to make the race. He is easily the most formidable aspirant in the field. Thom- as O. Toland suggests himself from the south, but the suggestion has not ap- pealed strongly to the men who make governors. Tom Geary, the evergreen applicant for gubernatorial honors, has his hand out, but it will go empty. Too many are declaring with emphasis, born of long antagonism, that there is | every political reason in the world why | Geary should not have the nomination |and none why he should. James D.| Phelan can have the nomination by a | unanimous vote if he wants it, but he says he doesn't want it. He says he is too busy looking after the reconstruc- | tion of his buildings. The Call correspondent at Santa Bar- bara sends tne following interesting summary of conditions affecting the| Republican gubernatorial situation in| the south. Warren R. Porter is touring the southern coast counties full of confi-| dence and counting on the support of the delegations from this part of the State. While in Santa Barbara re- | cently he stated that he would have the San Luis Obispo delegation and expected to get Los Angeles. San Luis | Obispo has since declared for Pardee. Los _Angeles is not readily lined up, but the Express publishes a table giv- ing Pardee twenty-eight; Parker, the local pelitician, sixty-four, and leaving thirty-seven doubtful. This same table |B take the county away from the Hayes |8 the | i are | | preserving the northern part of the | county for themselves.

The Republican factions in Vallejo have been at war for years, but it looked this year as though the long- looked-for dove of peace was about to alight and all would be well. It was agreed that an uninstructed delega- tion should be sent to the State Con- vention and that the county oflk:ea‘ should be evenly divided between the | and southern ends of the county.
