Harrnbn -Leader Urges That Presi

Ticket Be Ignored.
SAX,FltANqibJt'Ol,Cttl. .Inn. 27.
Woodrow Wilson ncm'nst the Held,
with the Hold tisinpr every political
maneuver nnd trick to stave off a
Iopulnr preference nttho Hay pri
mary,, wass the lineu here today nt a
meeting of what democratic organ
ization exists in CilifoVnia, the so
called central committee.
Theodore Hell of the Harmon men
in the lineup with Hearts lieutenant
and Wilson opponents, chose to dom
inate the jjnthering to forbid state
democrats to cxnross presidential
preference on May 14. Hell urged
that tho presidential column on tho
democratic ticket he ignored nml that
all candidates for delegates to tho
national democratic convention
bhouhl bo listed in one column. a lto
prcfercncc column.
Want Hearst Kmlorscd.
j
As n sidelight, the partisans of
William R. Hearst attempted to get
nn indorriemeiif'oT "Hearst by tho
stntc central committee or any sort
of an expression that might he tor
tured into commendation. Against
this coalition, the Wilson men hurled
a warning that thoy intended to push
tho candidacy of tho Now Jersey gov
ernor boforo tho people, no mnttor
what action was taken by tho central
committee. They were unflinching
their belief in tho presidential pri
mary and declared that no notion
would prevent thom from going be
fore tho people with their choice.
Ts Duttlo of Proxies.
Hell had rounded up many of his
old organizations, including Chairman
MoDavitt and Senutor Murray. While
not favoring tho indorsement of
Hearst, those forces boosted the no
prefereneo idea. A number of pre
viously rated Wilson men und who
satill deire to bo rated us Wilson
men took a middle ground, leaning a
little bit to the no-preference idea.
It wns a battle of proxies. Wiiilo
about a," to 10 actual committeemen
wore on hand this is one of the larg
est gut borings the stato central com
mit loo ovor had tho stato had been
combed for proxies und both sides
had a good bundle of them ready to
voto whon the battle bogan.
Trying to Itlock Wilson.
A resolution was introduced do
signed to prevent a block of Woodrow
Wilson delegates going on tho pri
mary ticket. The resolution slatoB
that it was always the policy of tho
democratio parly to discourngo an
insignia ballot. The resolution, boiled
down, merely meant that nil candi
dates who wanted to run for dolo
gato would go iu ono column; that
the petition of any would-bo delcgnto
would be circulated freo of oxpenso
by the state central committee
This list of proposed delegates is
the only list that would go on tho
demoeratio primary ticket if Unit
resolution woro adopted and tho stato
domoornts abided by it. Supporters
of Wilson opposed tho measure, eon
tending for the mere indorsement of
tho primary law as it stands and lot
tilings take their course.
