AVERS FUND NO PART
OF GOOD GOV'T ASS'N
President of Fund Explains That
Criticisms Arise Through Mis
understanding of Terms
In reply to certain criticisms which
have been heard recently relative to
the appropriation of money from the
Good Government fund for the sup
port of the Llncoln-Iloosevelt candi
dates, S. C. Graham, president of the
Good Government fund, Issued the fol
lowing statement yesterday:
'.'ln view of Inquiries recently made
of me, it would seom some person or
persons, either because of lack of in
formation or for the express purpose
of Injuring the Good Government fund,
tlie Good Government organization or
both, have been circulating reports
which, whether maliciously intended or
not, may have the effect of placing
both organizations in a wrong light be
fore their supporters and the public.
"It seems that a great many people
entertain an entirely erroneous Idea of
the Good Government fund, its pur
poses and the objects for which it was
created and is maintained.
"The fund is not now and never has
been a part of the Good Government
organization and has not neted or been
affiliated with that organization fur
ther than to aid it financially when, in
the opinion of the trustees of the fund,
political conditions would be Improved
or public interests served by extending
.such aid.
"The funds furnished most of the
money used In the recall campaign of
one year ago, and also the larger por
tion of the money expended by the
Good Government organization in the
last city campaign, it has no excuse
or apology to make on account of hav
ing done so.
"The similarity of nnmas—Stood
Government fund and Good Govern
ment organisation—hai undoubtedly
created an impression in the minds of
many that the Good Government fund
is simply money contributed to the
Good Government organization, when
in fact they are entirely separate and
distinct, and the Good Government
fund lias \ised its resources to assist
many other worthy organizations and
movements."

All the Latest News and Notes in the Realm of Politics
BOURBONS WATCH
G. O. P. STRUGGLE
Democrats Take Political Vaca
tion While Republicans War
Among Selves for Spoils
FEEL SURE OF CLEAN TICKET
Disgruntled Machine Men Break
Over Traces and Cause
Worry to S. P.
T. SHELLEY SUTTON
With only one contest In sight, in
volving candidates for state office,
the Domocratlc campaign which is
now well begun, may ho said to bo
unparalleled In the history of the
pnrty in this state.
While tho Republicans am divided
at every turn, bitterly attacking each
other hi flic mad struggle for power
and the ipolla of office, the Bourbons
an' enjoying a political vacation, :\s-
Bured of the Tiomlnation of a clean
ticket, well financed by popular sub
scription, and In a position to loam
many lessons- for their future benefit
from the mistakes and contests in
the Roptlbllcan camp, which the g. o.
p. men declare are due to the new
direct primary law, but which the
Democrats affirm are the fruits of
their past folly.
Most of the present "hard luck" of
the Republicans Is attributable to the
haunting political specters of their B.
P. alliance. They realize the people
are determined that the Southern Pa
cflc shall not control the administra
tive and political affairs of California,
and, accordingly, have made a des
perate effort all over tho state to put
up clean anti-machine candidates.
But Republican office holders and the
men who in the past served the ma
chine faithfully and energetically, have
refused to be relegated, and are bob
bins up in every town and district de
mnnilinpr recognition, and making dire
threats of retaliation, which In many
instances they may be prepared to ac
complish, if not supported by the
"push."
In Los Angeles we have several ex
amples of this prevalent condition with
which the X- 0. p. is now struggling.
Among the ol'l-time machine men who
have thrust themselves into the fight,
against the wishes of the Parker-Her
rin combine, are such candidates us
it. s. Q. McCartney, George Sanders,
"Walter Leeds, Jake Transue, Phil
Stanton and E. A. Meserve, who are
aspiring for everything from the state
assembly to a United States senator
ship.
In San Francisco, as in Los Angeles,
the' Democrats are virtually "at peace
with their principles." One or two un
important contests are on in the Bour
bon camp there, but none is serious.
Here In T,os Angeles the Democrats
have, only one pretender to defeat, and
they have taken such quick and decid
ed action to prevent his nomination
that there citl he little question of the
Outcome, This pretender, of course,
is Henry McDonald, who attempted
to steal the nomination for the state
senate in the Thirty-eighth district.
His effort to buy up all the signatures
in that district to prevent Martin
Bekins, the regular Democratic can
didate, from filing his nomination
papers, and his persistence in declar
ing himself n Democrat, despite the
fact that he has been virtually re
pudiated by ntl of the Democratic or
ganizations In Los Angeles, should
insure his defeat, and the Democrats
are not worried over this so-called
"contest."
According to pioneer Democrats, the
Bourbon ticket this year Is the clean
est and best ever presented to the
voters of the state or county, and the
entire absence of machine control, or
"push" methods, -from the councils and
conferences of the Democrats through
out the stnte, in the present campaign,
is without precedent in the annals of
the California Democracy. The ab
sence, also, of all the old-time machine
leaders, or Southern Pacific bosses,
from the various committees and con
ferences has been a matter of public
comment, and has done a great deal
to strengthen and Increase the Demo
cratic chances for victory.
The old days of the "push" Democ
racy are passed. While the Demo
crats are not waging any spectacular
battle before the primaries, for the
reason that they have a most thor
ough and ■ harmonious working or
ganization, free of dissension or con
test, they enjoy, in a large measure,
the fight that has been going on in
the ranks of the Republican party.
And, in watching the progress of the
commendablo campaign which has
been waged by Hiram W. Johnson, the
Lincoln-Roosevelt league candidate
for governor, they are ,asklng them
selves, throughout the stato, a seem
ingly important question—a question
which to the Democrats, at least, is
of paramount Interest, for if Its an
swer Is "yes," the Democratic leaders
aro confident Theodore A. Bell will be
the ! next governor of California. The
question is: Will Hiram Johnson ride
to the nomination on the horse which
carried Bell through his last cam
paign? In other words: Will Johnson
be nominated as a result of his stren
uous 1 fight against the Southern Pa
cific, which tight was begun and made
an issue of by Theodore Bell four
years ago?
Democrats believe this issue will
carry him to victory at the primaries.
This hope verified, it has been com
monly understood that Bell will step
Into the arena and resume his mem
orable battle ■ against the S. P., as
Hiram Johnson is doing, and that,
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1910.
as tho original antl-Herrin man, he
will wage tho battle more successfully
than Johnson can.
Johnson, tho Democrats Insist, is
fighting with "stolen thunder." In
(short, the Democrats aro confident Bell
Can bo elected over Johnson, even it'
both iiiiio wukii their fight on this one
issue. ihit Bell, they say, has other
and equally important issues which
tho Republicans have disdained to no
tice.
The. Democracy has presented no leg
islative candidates in seven oul of
eighteen assembly districts, and none
in one of the four senatorial districts
In which upper house vacancies will
he tilled at the next election. In the
Twenty-MCOnd senatorial district, San
Francisco, there is a contest for the
Democratic nomination. There arc un
important contest! there in three of
the assembly districts and in eight dis
tricts it Is reported the lower house
nominations will go without opposition
to tho candidates on whom the Dem
ocrats united at their state conference.
Theodore A. Bell, like most of his
associates on the state Democratic
ticket, will bo nominated without op
position. He is at present making a
•erlei of personal tours devoted to first
hand investigation of the Republican
situation in the north.
Two places will remain vacant on
tho state ticket. No candidate quali
fied for the primary contest for attor
ney general on the Democratic ticket
and it was agreed at the Los Angeles
conference that the comptroller's place
on the Democratic ticket be left blank.
The only nomination to a state of
fice which has developed a contest
among the Democrats is for state
printer. The Democrats who are fight
ing for this nomination are D. W. Rav
enscroft and John E. Vaughn, both of
San Francisco. Concerning conditions
in San Francisco the Call in a recent
issue said:
■■The most interesting Democratic
contest is that for nomination for pro
siding Justice of the first district court
of appeals, it la a three-handed af
fair, waged by Judge George E. Church
of Fresno, Judge James V. Coffey of
San Francisco and Judge Lucas V.
Hmith of Santa Cruz. They are three
capable and tried jurists of more than
local reputation and their respective
followlng.s are making vigorous If
good natured fights for them. The
champions of each believe their man is
the one with the best chance of defeat
ing Judge Lennon, who will be .the
Republican nominee.
"Seven Democrats aspire to the four
nominations to the San Francisco su
perior bench. Three are incumbents,
Judges George H. Cabaniss, Frank J.
Murasky and J. M. Seawell. James G.
Maguire, George A. Connolly, a mem
ber of the Taylor board of supervisors,
Louis Goldstone and William E. White
are the other aspirants."
This Is interesting reading to the
Democrats of Los Angeles and other
California cities who have succeeded
in maintatining party harmony and In
living up to the letter of the direct pri
mary law and yet avoiding disagreeable
pow-wows and office seeking contests.
The Democrats of San Francisco may
learn a few lessons by looking at the
commendable work done by the Bour
bons of Los Angeles. But, after all,
they have different conditions to con
tend with In San Francisco and have
yet to overcome entirely the machine
element, Which has been completely
routed in Los Angeles.
Reports from the bay city, however,
show that the northern Bourbons are
accomplishing a great <ienl and that
they have a cleaner and better organ
ization than they have had in many
yi.irs—with several blockades yet to
eliminate.
INTEREST SHOWN
IN CANVASSING
Enthusiastic Meeting of L.-R. As
sembly District Workers
Held Nightly
The second of a scries of meetings of
the active workers of the different as
sembly districts was held Thursday
night, when the Seventy-second district
workers met at the Lincoln-Roosevelt
Republican league headquarters to
perfect organization in the district.
Fifty were present. Plans were
adopted to facilitate the thorough can
vassing of precincts.
The Seventy-second district WU
blocked "ft In sections and men were
appointed to direct the. work in each
block. Pursuant to the plan recently
adopted, meetings will be held every
night this week In each precinct and
the necessary work pushed to com
pletion.
In contrast to the old machine sys
tem, where the party bosses chose the
delegates to the county convention,
the delegates will be chosen this year
by the precinct workers in each pre
cinct. Such a proceeding in the days
of the old regime was unheard of.
The Seventy-second district has
heretofore given constantly increasing
majorities for Good Government, and
It is thought it can bo depended upon
in the coming election to roll up a yet
larger majority for Benedict over Otto
Rech, the machine candidate.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Marshall Stimson, who recently re
turned from the east, gave an inter
esting report with reference to the
prevalent progressive sentiment in the
east.
The assembly district meetings each
night tire thought to have shown In
creajtd interest in the organization
work. Last night the Seventy-third
district workers met at league head
quarters. R. S. Saunders, league can
didate for assemblyman in the Sev
enty-third district, has recently com
pleted a personal eanvnsß of the dis
trict and reports that the interest
evidenced in his campaign is encour
aging and gratifying to him.
Other meetings to be held are as fol
lows: Seventieth assembly district,
Saturday at 4 p. m.: Sixty-ninth assem

JOHNSON WINNER
STATES LISSNER
Secretary of Good Government
Fund Returns from Meet
ing of League
TELLS OF PINCHOT'S MEETING
The People Waited Thirty Years,
He Says, to Throw Off the
Southern Pacific Yoke
Meyer Lissner, secretary of the Good
Government fund and member of the
executive boards of the Lincoln-Roose
velt league and the Good Government
organization, returned to Los Angeles
yesterday from a week's sojourn in Snn
Francisco, where he attended the meet
ing of the state executive committee
of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league. ,
Speaking of this meeting, and the
prospects of Hiram W. Johnson, league
candidate for governor, Mr. Lissner
said yesterday:
"The meeting in San Francisco was
the mo.st successful political gathering
I have ever attended. it was presided
over by C. H. Bentloy, formerly presi
dent of the San Francisco chamber
of commerce, and the speakers were
Daniel Ryan of San Francisco, Gifford
Pinchot and Mr. Johnson. The Central
theater Beats about 3500, and when I
arrived there about 8 o'clock it was
practically impossible to get inside
the doors. The policeman at the stage
entrance honored my Invitation, how
ever, and I managed to squeeze in.
There must have been 4000 people in the
building, all intensely interested and
very enthusiastic. An overflow meet
ing of between 1000 and 2000 people was
held outside. Plnchot's strong advo
cacy of the Lincoln-Roosevelt move
ment and Johnson's candidacy will un
doubtedly solidify the reform forces
and mean thousands of additional
voters.
JOHNSON WINNER
"The general sentiment around the
bay seems to make Johnson a sure
winner, with either Curry or Anderson
in second place. Ellery'e candidacy is
considered U, great joke and Stanton's
not very much better. Stanton will not
get 2 per cent of the vote in the
northern counties, and while he may
receive a fair complimentary vote in
Southern California, his total vote will
be about one-fifth of the number re
quired to land the nomination. The
general sentiment in the north seemed
to be that Stanton was being kept in
the race in order to draw from John
son's support in the south, because It
is well known that a certain number
of people will favor a local candidate
without considering the principles In
volved. The probabilities are that as
the day of the primaries approaches
the word will be passed quietly down
■the line to those organization men who
are now apparently behind Stanton's
candidacy to go to Anderson or Curry—
most likely Anderson—and the only re
maining support Stanton will have will
be the few deluded voters who will
have allowed themselves to be used as
'cat's paws' by the heartless machine. j
CURRY NEXT
At the --esent time, next to John
son. Curr> is the strongest candidate,
hut eventually I believe that Anderson
will lead Curry. Curry has the sup
port of the liquor interests, the race
track gamblers, a horde of petty offi
cials throughout the state v/hom he
has befriended during his long term of
public office, and one of the large San
Francisco bankers. Anderson Is the
real 'blown in the bottle 1 Southern Pa
cific organization candidate. All that
one need do is to read the columns of
such notoriously machine sheets as the
San Francisco Chronicle and Post and
the Oakland Tribune, all of which are
supporting Anderson, to discover what
is the real machine program. No doubt
the local morning machine trumpet
would like to follow suit and abandon
Stanton, and I would not be surprised
to see that very thing happen before
August 16. If It does not happen, how
ever. it will be because the Times has
dug for itself too deep a hole and will
have to stay in it.
"Another strong indication of where
the real machine stands In this fight
is that Governor Gillett is doing all he
can to help Anderson, who has also the
support of some very powerful bank
ing interests in San Francisco and
throughout the state.
Ml'D FOR JOHNSON
"From now oh, until August 16, the
fight is going to liven up wonderfully.
"Word has cone down the line to all of
the subsidized press to open up their
mud batteries on Johnson, and every
influence that can be brought or hired
to do the dirty work will be used, I
regret to notice that a gentleman of
the cloth, who preaches the Christian
precepts, and who therefore ought to
be above that sort of thing, has lent
himself to this questionable cause.
"It is significant that no attempt to
besmirch or cast insinuations upon
Hiram Johnson's character is being
made in that part of the state -where
he was born, and where the record of
his life has been an open book, but it
is evidently going to be the policy of
■the machine In this part of the state
to strive to hold him responsible,
through nasty Insinuation, for what
another may have done, with whom ho
has never been in political sympathy,
and whose political record Mr. John
son for obvious reasons, will not dis
cuss. In other words, a mean and
cowardly advantage will be taken of
Mr. Johnson's proper reticence upon a
subject which a fine sense of the nat
ural proprieties would influence an
one with a spark of manhood to ignore.
"The money bags of the machine
have been opened wide. More money
is being spent for billboard advertising
for Anderson alone than can be raised
by the Lincoln-Roosevelt league for its
whole state campaign. Immense litho
graphs of Anderson in the highest type
of the printer's art are being paste
all over the state. Effort! are being
made to subsidize papers for him, as is
evidenced by tho letter recently mad
public by tiie Riverside Press, which
is supporting Johnson, in which it was
Intimated that, if the paper would
switch to Anderson it would be well
paid for it. ■'_
"The Southern Pacific can afford to
spend any amount of money to defeat
Johnson and the other candidates who
have been indorsed by the Lincoln-
Roosevelt league, and if money alone
can do it they will be defeated. But
I have too high a regard «for tho citi
zenship of the majority of the. Repub
lican voters of California to believe
that such a thing is possible this year,
although the same thing has been done
time and time again when the reform
forces were not organized. Our expert-
ence in Los Angeles, ho <
ti .i that money, bought
newspapers and the machine organiza
tion cannot beat the (on es of
nmeni when tiny are organized
■ M as the railroad n and i

TIIIKIV ZSAB CIIANCB

"I found considerable criticism man
ifested in San Francisco among Na

ing a circular letter that had been
mailed to Native gons throughout tho
state, addressing: them as such, signed
by Herman i. Lichtenbergcr, in behalf
of the candidacy of .Mr. Meserve for
United States senator. In the first
place, this is! criticised because it is
contrary to the tenets of the N. B. <1.
W. to attempt to use the order politic
ally, which is palpably being done in
this case; and in the second place, it is
especially inappropriate, as coming
from Mr. Llchtenberger, because he
happens to be at the present time the
grand lirst vice president of the order
and under ordinary circumstances
would be in direct line of succession
for grand president. Quite a number of
prominent Native Sons in Ban Fran-
Cisco sjioke to me about this matter,
unsolicited, expressing surprise and In
dignation. The tact that. .Mr. Llchten
berger is Mr. Meserve's paid office
manager does not help matters so far
as the candidate himself is concerned."
WOOD INDORSED
BY PASADENANS
Mayor and Many Others Approve
Crown City Candidate for
Superior Court
The mayor of Pasadena and about
fifty prominent citizens of that city
have signed a public indorsement of
the candidacy of John Perry "Wood,
tdncoln-RoO»evelt candidate for tho
Republican nomination to tin- superior
court. These men yesterday sent this
indorsement to The Herald, asking- that
it be published.
"The Herald lias done more for good
government and fpr the purification of
the Republican party, through the
Lincoln-Roosevelt league, than has any
newspaper in Los Angeles county,"
said the head of the committee which
procured Wood's indorsement by the
business men of Pasadena yesterday.
"For this reason we want our indorse
ment of Wood to be made known to
the public through the columns of The
Herald."
Wood is city attorney of Pasadena
and has come into considerable local
prominence by reason of his fearless
fight in behalf of the people against
the lighting companies, which have
endeavored to make a failure of the
municipal plant in tho Crown city.
Following is the letter of indorsement
signed by the business men of Pasa
dena, urlng his nomination and elec
tion to the superior court Judgahtp:
THE INDORSEMENT
To the Voters of Los Angeles
County—The name of John Perry
Wood "has been presented to you by
the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination to the superior
court Judgeship, to be passed upon
by you at the direct primary on
August ic. As citizens of Pasadena,
we wish to indorse his candidacy
and to bespeak for him the support
of all citizens interested in main
taining an efficient, honest and
fearless judiciary. The fact that
"Mr. Wood has not desired to be
come a candidate, but was prevailed
upon do so only by the earnest
solicitation of members of the bar
and many of those active in the
accomplishment of good govern
ment for Los Angeles county,
makes it the more pleasurable for
us to express the reasons why we
indorse him.
Nearly every Pasadennn knows
Mr. Wood because of his fearless
and active management of his
office as city attorney of Pasa
dena. During his incumbency un
der two administrations he lias
shown himself possessed of a keen
legal mind and an exact judgment.
In his official position he has al
ways stood for a square deal not
only for the individual, but for tho
people as a whole, and we feel con
fident that if elected to tho superior
bench of Los Angeles county ho
will exercise the same Judicial
discretion which has so firmly
established him in the minds of his
fellow citizens here.
LBOAXi TKMMN*.
Mr. Wood's legal training lias
been extensive and thorough. He
was graduated from Dickinson col
lege and later from tin- law school
at Yale. In TOOL" he came to Cali
fornia and soon gained a reputation

His conduct of the Intricate and
nationally important telephone and
telegraph litigation between tho
city and the Sunset and Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph compan
ies, Involving labors in all the state
and federal courts, has in itself
assured him an enviable position at
the bar. Two suits involving the
Edison company lighting contracts
which he conducted have been de
cided in favor of the city in tho
United States circuit court and the
United States circuit court of ap
peals. In his defense of the city in
its municipal lighting matters
three su.its with the Edison com
pany, involving important constitu
tional questions, were won by tho
city in the state and federal courts.
LIGHT rLANX lltillT
To him is largely due ttic sue<
of the municipal electric lighting
project, of which ho has always
been a stout champion, not only lor
his successful work In tho courts,
but for thu legal machinery he has
constructed and tho work which
he has done to advance its ad
ministration and resist the attacks
which have been made upon it.
His success in theso matters and
in connection with the buslneaa al
fairs, negotiations and bond issues
of tho city and the genera! admin
istration of his office and his atti
tude toward public affairs general
ly stamps him as a man of that
determined but broad judgment
which one holding a judicial office
should possess. Above all he has
demonstrated that he Is a man 01
unimpeachable and uncompromls-
Fronvthe fl'rst Mr. Wood has been
identified with the Llncoln-H
vult and Good Government move
ments. While progressive in His
ideas the uniformly successful ter
mination of his management of dif
ficult public matters shows ,the
soundness of his judgment and the
impartial effectiveness " his serv
ice
" \Ve feel that we can unhesitat
ingly recommend Mr. Wood to the
electors of this county as ll man
possessed of sound principles and
logical m ind. and who, upon the
bench, would sit that thu people
are given their just dues and that
at the same time the rights of in
dividual litigants are preserved.
