All the Latest News and Notes in the Realm of Politics
REBELS AGAINST
RULE OF BOSSES
Gen. E. C. Bellows Terms Lineup
for Fredericks Cheap
Political Claptrap
USE PARTY LOYALTY AS WHIP
Declares Voting Ticket Straight
Railroads Unworthy Men
Into Office
The whip of "party regularity,"
which is being cracked over the heads
of Los Angeles county Republicans by
the Republican county central com
mittee in behalf of the campaign of
District Attorney J. D. Fredericks,
has aroused Gen. E. C. Bellows, a life
long Republican' of prominence fend
former consul general to Japan, Char
acterizing such efforts as "cheap po
litical claptrap," he said yesterday:
"Political parties are organized to
promote tho public good, and stand
for well defined policies in the man
agement of national affairs.
"The man elected president, senator
or congressman by the voters of any
party is in honor bound to support
the policies of that party, and with
the belief that' he will do so the voter
with fixed convictions concerning na
tional policies casts his ballot for the,
party nominee in national affairs. This
is logical, sensible and right, but
crafty politicians, for their own selfish
purposes, seek to extend this parti
sanship to offices wholly unaffected by
party issues. * - -..
"Two men nominated for president
of the United States may be equally
honorable, fair minded and conscien
tious, and yet the voter may honestly
believe that the election of one of
them would be a public calamity, be
cause he represents a policy and will
follow a course of action which the
voter believes will be injurious to the
country and detrimental to the public
welfare.
FLAYS PARTY LOYALTY
"If two men are nominated for a
county or city office, and are known
to be equally honorable, capable, ac
tive and conscientious, lt can make no
possible- difference which one is elect
ed, ' because their , official duties have
absolutely nothing to do with policies
of government. But If one candidate
is known to possess a higher regard
for his oath of office, a juster concep
tion of his official duties and a greater
concern for the public welfare than
his opponent Moes, that one should re
ceive the support of every true patriot
and of every decent citizen regard
less of party affiliations.
"The talk about party regularity and
party loyalty and voting straight from
top to bottom is simply cheap political
claptrap, used to deceive and confuse
the voter, obscure the issues and rail
road unworthy men into public office.
It is the means by which undesirable
citizens seek tp obtain place, power,
Influence and an opportunity to loot
the public. A man of this class does
not seek support because of worth or
merit, but with the unblanched cheek
of a high priest he demands the party
vote because he is on the ticket.
"Judging ' from the unanswered
charges against John D. Fredericks,
district attorney, this seems to be the
position he occupies before the public
today.
"Is party regularity a sufficient rea
son for urging the election of a man
whose pernicious thrift has lifted him
from poverty to affluence in a few
brief official years?
PROPOUNDS QUESTIONS V! k':
"This man took a solemn oath to
prosecute and bring to justice public
offenders, high and low. Yet did he
not stand idly by while corrupt, ma
chine-made officials lined their pockets
with the proceeds of protected vice?
Did he not look on with complacency
while corporate interests sought by
bribery to steal a million-dollar prop
erty from the city of Los Angeles?
"Did he interpose any . objection to
the looting of the county treasury In
either tho furniture deal or the at
tempted bond sale? Does his action
In the King forgery will case inspire
confidence in him as conservator of
public interests?
"Many other sustained charges are
made against John D. Fredericks,
whose chosen intimates have been and
now are henchmen of the Southern
Paciflo political machine, against
which both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties of the state are waging
a war of extermination.
"The retention in office of John D.
Fredericks in the face of his past
official career would spell disgrace to
the party responsible for his election,
"Theodore Roosevelt has truly said:
•Honesty is not a- party matter, and
the flrst man to attack a scoundrel of
any party should be the honest man
of that party.' "

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15, 1910.
Here Is Woolwine's Pledge to
People of Los Angeles County
The following pledge to the public relative to his election as
district attohiey of Los Angeles county was made last night by
Thomas Lee Woolwine, candidate of the Democratic party and
the Good Government organization:
"If elected to the office of district attorney my entire time and
that of my deputies shall be taken up in the transaction of the pub
lic business, and I shall not, during my term of office, take a pri
vate case of any nature, nor shall I allow any deputy in the office
to take any such' case. In other words I shall take the ground, if
elected, that the public is entitled not only to the best energies of
myself and deputies, but that the entire time of myself and depu
ties is the property of the citizens and taxpayers of Los Angeles
county, and that a public officer has no more right to embezzle
such time than he has to embezzle the funds of the public." ■
HIRAM JOHNSON REPLIES
TO CHARGE OF ANARCHY
Republican Candidate Says He
. Will Kick S. P. Out of Cali
fornia Politics
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. ttiram
Johnson, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, Was tendered a luncheon nere
today by 500 business men. Rolla V,
Watt presided as toastmaster and in
troduced Governor J. N. Giliett as the
first speaker.
It was the flrst public appearance
of ' Governnor Giliett In the present
gubernatorial campaign and he was
given an enthusiastic reception. In his
speech he pledged his support to John
son and declared that the Republican
party must head the progressive
movement if It hoped to, continue as
the dominant force in American poli
tics.
Albert J. Wallace of Los Angeles,
candidate for lieutenant governor, was
the second speaker. After paying a
high compliment to Johnson he devot
ed the remainder of his address to the
advancement of San Francisco claims
to the Panama-Pacific International
exposition. Mr. Watt next introduced
Mr. Johnson, whose brief address was
directed pointedly toward his business
policies.
WILL KICK THEM OUT
He explained that in desiring a di
vorce of politics from big business he
felt that he was working for the best
interests of business men, as corrup
tion in politics would lead to politi
cal chaos and the destruction of all
business. The Republican candidate
explained that as he was entering the
dining room he had been requested to
answer the charge that he was so radi
cal in his views that they approached
anarchy. In reply he said: .-.
- "As long as the Southern r..clflc
railway and the distinguished gentle
man who has kindly saved us the
trouble of governing our own state
conduct their enterprises within the
law, they will meet with opposition
from me, but if they do not keep their
hands oft our politics I will kick them
out of California. I use trtese homely
phrases so that there may be no mis
understanding of my attitude."
In response to a general call from
the gathering," Myer Lissner of Los
Angeles, chairman of the state central
committee, followed the Republican
candidate with a brief speech.

WOOLWINE WILL REPLY
TO FREDRICKS 'ANSWER'
Notable Speakers Address Good
Government Meeting at
Long Beach Monday
At the big Good Government meeting
to be held in the auditorium at Long
Beach Monday evening at 8 o'clock,
Frederick Baker, one of the best
known and most active Republicans in
Los Angeles county and a member of
the Republican state central commit
tee, will be one of the chief speakers
in behalf of the candidacy of Thomas
Dee Woolwine, Good Government can
didate for district attorney. Special
interest attaches to this meeting, be
cause of the fact that Mr. Woolwine
will make reply to District Attorney
Fredericks' "answer" to the charges
brought against him.
The meeting will be presided over by
Herbert M. Haskell, a Republican who
was actively interested in ! the fight
made by LaFollette in Wisconsin. The
other speakers will .be Walter J. Des
mond of Long Beach, Good Govern
ment candidate for county tax collec
tor, and Clarence M. Taggart, city tax
and license collector, who will outline
the work of the Good Government or
ganization. '
The meeting promises to be one of
the most largely attended and impor
tant ln the campaign for the
public welfare. Intense Interest is man
fested by all classes of voters In Long
Beach over the Fredericks matter, e^iil
a canvass of the leading Republicans
of the beach city discloses the fact that
a very large majority of them will sup
port Mr. Woolwine at the polls.

BELL AND SPELLACY TOUR
BAY DISTRICT COUNTIES
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.—Theo
dore A. Bell, Democratic candidate for
governor,, addressed an enthusiastic
meeting at Cordelia, today and then
visited Sulgun, where he was given a
cordial welcome. After luncheon he
addressed a large crowd on the issues
of the campaign. He was accompa
nied by Timothy Spellacy, nominee for
lieutenant governor, and Judge Henry
C He3ford, nominee for justice of the
appellate court. The candidates made
the trip by automobile and reached
Woodland tonight, after meetings at
Vacaville, Dixon and Winters en route.
'If you elect me governor," said Bell
in Sulsun, "I promise you that W. F.
Herrin and the political bureau of the
Southern Pacific, will have to abdicate
the powers they have exercised in the
government of this state. There will
be no William F. Herrin to touch the
legislators and the governor on tho
shoulder or place his own men in Ju
dicial' positions.
"My opponent says that he will kick
Herrin out of the politics of Califor
nia. Perhaps he will, but he is only
saying the things I said four years ago
when he was very silent. Indeed, ho
is only saying the things that I said In
1906, after I had been nominated for
governor and men had told me that I
could not be elected unless I made
my peace With Herrin.
'But I said then, Just M I say now,
that I would not sacrifice my manhood
by binding myself to Herrin or any
other political boss to win the best of
fice In the gift of the American peo
ple. I submit my life and my record,
and I ask this man, who has come into
the fight at the eleventh- hour, to do
the same." •

LAW WAS BROKEN,
WOOLWINE STATES
Criticism of Fredericks Includes
Sharp References to Matter
of County Bills
RECORDS IN CIVIL ACTIONS
Explanation of Secret Suppres
sion of Grand Jury Inquiries
Interests Large Audience
(Continued from Page One)
records of private civil cases In the
office of the county clerk searched
for the period of four yean, last
past, and it disclosed that the dis
trict attorney and bis deputies have
during that time appeared as at
torneys for private parties in 395
civil cases. A conservative esti
mate of the amount of time con
sumed in these cases, ln other
words, the amount of time so em
bezzled from the public, will reach
an average of not less than three
days to a case, when we take into
consideration the time employed in
consultation with clients and wit
nesses, the preparation of the pa
pers, and the time consumed ln
the courts in the trial of such
matters.
HAST I. OF PUBLIC'S TIME
j In other words, there has been
consumed in the 395 cases not fewer
than 11 So days of the people's time,
for which Mr. Fredericks and these
deputies were paid, and for which
they rendered no service. Of course
this is computed upon the amount
of time taken from the public in the
aggregate by Mr. Fredericks and
his deputies, which would mean that
the public was paying for the time
of one of such men for the period
of three years and ninety days, for
which not one dollar of service was
rendered to the public. In addition,
it should be remembered, further,
that the time taken in th# prepara
tion and the trial of private cases
by attorneys is only a very small
portion of the entire time consumed
by attorneys *Jn general law prac
tice. " There are numerous matters
upon which attorneys are employed
in which there is no litigation, and
of which the courts will furnish no
record, such as legal advice, prepa
ration of contracts, and office prac
tice of every other nature. In addi
tion to the enormous amount of
time shown by the records to have
been embezzled by Mr. Fredericks
and his deputies from the public,
it never can be known as to how
much additional time was taken in
such private office practice.
There is another . phase of this
matter that should be of great in-
tin si to the taxpayers. It is com
mon knowledge that the stenog
raphers paid by the county have
been us. .1 by the district attorney
and his deputies in this great vol
ume of private practice, to say noth
ing of the stationery of the county
used In many, of such matters. ,
DELUGE OF PRIVATE PRACTICE
Now, during all tt^s deluge of
private practice engaged in by Mr.
Fredericks an 4 deputies,. prisoners
have languished in jail awaiting the
pleasure of these county officials
who have been thus otherwise en
gaged; and during this four years
to which I have made reference the
number of deputies under Mr. Fred
ericks has by various manipula
tions grown from eleven to twenty
four. The estimate made as to the
number of cases actually filed In the
courts by these officials is not a
matter of conjecture, but the speak
er is now in possession of the num
bers of. such cases, the particular
kind of cases, and the official em
ployed in such cases.
The evils that may result from
this taking of the people's time for
such purposes are manifold. Liti
gation in the courts often discloses
various kinds of crime; among oth
er things, perjury is not at nil un
common, and if perjury should oc
cur ln any of these various matters,
it is not to be supposed that the dis
trict attorney and his deputies,
having been engaged as private at
torneys for clients in such cases,
would take the trouble to prosecute
those guilty of such crimes. Even if
perjury were committed by wit
nesses for the other side, the rela
tion of the district attorney and his
deputies to such cases in their pri^
vate capacity would be such as to
render prosecution exceedingly em
barrassing, and by reason of their
relation to the case exceedingly un
likely. ' There are further complica
tions that might arise, such as the
King will case, wherein the district
attorney yielded to the temptation
wholly to disregard his oath of of
fice and suppress the prosecution of
the forgers of two separate wills. In
other words, covered up and sup
pressed the prosecution upon two
felonies so that he might enrich
himself to the amount of $12,000 in
property and money belonging to
the estate of the dead Michael H.
King.
PLEDGES DUTY TO PUBLIC
Now, right at this point I mean to
make a pledge to the public that I
have always Intended to make since
entering this contest, that, if elected
to the office of district attorney, my
entire time, and that of my depu
ties, shall be taken up ln the trans
action of the public business, and
that I shall not during my term pf
office take a private case of any na
ture, nor shall' I allow any deputy
ln the office to take any such case.
In other words, I shall take the
ground, If elected, that the public Is
entitled not only to the best ener
gies of myself and deputies, but that
the entire time of myself and depu
ties will be the property of the cit
izens and taxpayers of Los Ange
les county, and that a public officer
has no more right to embezzle such
time than he has to embezzle the
funds of the public. I
Mr. Woolwine then went into a
lengthy discussion of the suppression
of the grand jury investigation of the
Harper administration, the Inactivity
of Mr. Fredercks in the river bed steal,
the appointment of Percy Hammon, one
of "the councllmen who betrayed the
public upon that occasion, to be a dep
uty in his office; the attempted bond
steal, and the recent furniture scandal,
and stated that in all such cases tho
wrongdoers - must have known that
they would have immunity in advance,
or such outrageous conduct would not
have happened. r '

OPPONENTS FLOCK TO
WOOLWINE'S STANDARD
Fredericks' Supporters Desert
Him on Hearing Charges
of His Rival
"One of the most dramatic incidents I
have ever seen at a political meeting,"
said George Baker Anderson, secretary
of the Good Government organization,
"occurred when Tom Woolwine was
speaking at Huntington Park. The in
terest at all the Woolwine meetings is
intense, but this particular demonstra
tion was remarkable. .
"The closest attention was paid to
Mr. Woolwine as he narrated the chief
charges against District Attorney Fred
ericks. Just as Mr. Woolwine had con
cluded that part of his indictment re
ferring to the affidavit of John Gales,
having to do with the 'two wills case,'
as the King will forgeries have become
popularly known, William Glass, a
wealthy fruit man of Los Angeles
county, a large property owner at
Whittier and a member of the city
board of trustees of Huntington Park,
jumped to his feet and cried:
"'I know that's true. John Gales told
me so himself, and John Gales doesn't
lie.' , '
"The audience broke into a roar of
approval, although at tho outset a con
siderable number was supposed to be
against Mr. Woolwlne's candidacy. At
the closo of the meeting one of the old
line Republicans of Huntington Park,
and a man who has been known as one
of tho staunchest supporters of Fred
ericks, announced in unequivocal terms
that he was through with Mr. Freder
icks, and that he would not only vote
for Mr. Woolwine but that he would
do everything In his power to get all
of his friends to follow his example.
"Tills feeling is typical in all com
munities where Mr. Woolwine speaks.
Everything points to his election by a
splendid vote i next month."
SPELLACY SEES STATE
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Candidate for Lieutenant Gover
nor Writes Enthusiastically
':■•-■
of Jeffersonian's Chances
The rousing meetings that greet Bell
and Spellacy wherever they go are
so encouraging that predictions aro
freely made by friends of the candi
dates at every meeting that the whole
Democratic state ticket will be elected
by a remarkable vote. Reports re
ceived from all parts of the state, both
north and south. indicate that the ma
jority for the heads of tho ticket will
be unprecedentedly large. These re-
ports are substantiated by Tim Spel
lacy, the candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. in a letter written by "Our
Tin." to a prominent Democrat in Los
Angeles.
"I feel confident," writes Mr. Spel
lacy, "that if the election were to bo
held this week, Bell would win by
30,000 votes. The reception accorded
Bell and myself in the north and all
sections of the state has far over
shadowed our expectations. Had any
one told us before we started that tho
people would have given us such an
exuberant welcome wo would not havo
believed htm. They tell us that our
meetings have for eclipsed any of tho
meetings held by Johnson during the
primary fight.
"Tell our good Democratic friends In
Los Angeles county to keep up their
vigorous work and there will be no
doubt as to the result on November 8."
The news contained In Mr. Spellacy's
epistle has stirred Los Angeles Demo
crats to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
and the work on behalf of the state and
county ticket will be carried on .with
renewed vigor from now until election
day. , . ,
