Colonel Sidetracks Harriman Colonel Roosevelt, so it appeared from the c.orrespondence, grew some- what cold toward Harriman after the big fund had done its work in 1904 and the Roosevelt victory had been aceom- plished. He was slow in carrying ont his bargain with Harrimen with refer- ence o the re-election of Senator De- pew of New York, or the alternative proposition of sending Depew as am- bassador to Paris or some cfher gocd that foreign post.

Grouped around Hatch, their faces touched by the humiliation of their position, were his devoted’ family—his wife, his daughter, his son, George, and his sister. Freeman frequently moved the court- room to tears with his picture of the suffering and broken’health of the ac- cused attorney, who might not have been present “but for the tender min- istrations of his wife during the two |long years that he has been held with- out bail in the county jail” He told |of the keen disgrace feit by a man of | Hatch's type in cohviction for such a Icrime as embezzlement and of his de- sire to devote ‘the remainder of his entire life in making restitution to the Sage family. a | Prisoner Unmoved In reply District Attorney A.

The {ssue which will be presented to the court {nvolves the question under; lying the republican form of govern- ment—the right of franchise. By seiz- ing and attempting to hold the nameé of the republican party the national pro- gressive party machine in California boldy has proclaimed {ts intention to disfranchise every républican votér in California. Unashamed of their broken oaths and crying only for the spolls of office, the members of the natlénal pro- gressive party have attempted to de- liver California to Rooseévelt and Johun- son by preventing the republicans from 'voting for President Taft. Making no pretensé of fealty to the solemn oaths they took in order to get their names on the republican primary ballot and having Zormally and most unequivocally repudiated the republi- can party and its platform, the party masqueraders, acting under the whip of the administration, purpose to per- sist In the theft of a party name for the elector candidates who, it elected, will vote for the progressive party candi- dates. Issue Affects Political Freedom The republicans of California have been subjected to some raw political jobbery, but never before was the:s a machine sufficiently drunk with Its power to attempt to disfranchise all the members of a great political party. Reduced to a single proposition, thé supreme court is asked to decide that men wxo formally have repudiated the republican party in convention, and that candidates who avowedly are members of a party antagonistic to the republican party, are in fact snd in law not republicans. To the plain citizen unversed ln the mysteries of applied progressiveism that proposition would seem seM-evident. However. the state machine, supported by the attorney general's consiruction ——— e The couple resided at 955 Clayton i returned from Montec Rio, accom- panied by her mother, Mrs. W. P.

Mrs. Day now is residing with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P, Winston, at 839 Eleventh street, Oakland. Wife Under Question Fire Mrs. Day, who is young and attract- ive, was ‘represented by Attorney George Ford. She occupied the stand during the greater part of the day, and was cross questioned by F.

This letter was| returned to the Day home in Clayton street before Mrs. Day and her mother got back from Monte Rio. Day, who presented the letter, had had a photo- which he gave the original to his wife, with ‘the informatio. that he wes finished with her so far as love ‘was concerred. The letter read in part as follows: Dear Dweliers of ths Wilderneas: My vacation now seems faint and T away, ‘and were it not for a few such incidents as the morning with the Lotrle of No. 6 and the night at the Casino with “mother” ang ‘“danghter,” those, few fleeting days would indeed seem like vapor- ' ings of a “hop” dream. .
