SCORES HARTWELL
Fielding J. Stilson Praises Record
of Democratic Candidate for
District Attorney
Rousing meetings in the interest of
the Good Government organization
were held last night In Smock's hall, t
El Mollno and Pico streets, 'and in
"Wood's hall at Oarvanza. Thomas Lee
Woolwine and Fielding J. Stllson were
the principal speakers at the latter .
place, and a strong address was also |
made by Dr. A. C. Pratt, good govern- j
ment and Democratic nominee for cor
oner. E. J. Fleming and Guy Eddie
were the leading speakers at the meet
ing In Pico Heights.
Mr. Woolwine reviewed the charges
against his opponent, as already pub
lished in The Herald. He was en
thusiastically received and cheered to
the echo.
Fielding J. Stllson was listened to
with great, interest, as it was his first
appearance in the present campaign,
and his prominence in civic affairs and
as a business man added weight to his
address.
In his speech Mr. Stllson said:
"There are at least two viewpoints
in.connection with the election of. the
district attorney's office which I be
lieve have not been touched upon.
After having read practically every
thing that has appeared in the local
press both for and against Mr. Wool
wine and Cant. Fredericks I cannot
but place mySalf in the position of one
who is acting as a Juror and who must
by his vote decide whether the charges
made are proved and the .defendent
is guilty or not guilty.
"I have a very slight acquaintance
with 'Capt. Fredericks and a very inti
mate relation with Mr. Woolwine, so
when you see this you may say that I
am speaking from a prejudiced, per
sonal standpoint, but I can assure you
that I am not. I have seen both of
the contestants for this office make
mistakes. These gentlemen are only
human, and it is expected that errors
will creep Into their official careers. I
have had the honor myself of serving
three and one-half years as a member
of the local board of education, and T
can tell you that I made mistakes
while a member of. that board. Just as
other members did.
"There is. however, a vast difference
between the mistakes of Tom Woolwine
and those of Captain Fredericks, if you
are kind enough to call them by that
in connection with the latter gentle
man. Mr. Woolwine has made the
most serious charges against Captain
Fredericks, and in my opinion the evi
dence up to date practically proves
them; therefore you citizens who are
to settle this can and must first con
sider all of these charges, and second,
the record of these two contestants.
WOOI. WINE'S RECORD HIGHER
"I cannot speak with the same au
thority in . connection with Captain
Fredericks' record as I can of that of
Mr. Woolwine. I firmly believe that
when all is said and done you will be
lieve that the record of Tom Woolwine
Is so far superior to that of Captain
Fredericks that a comparison Is most
odious. This appears a most severe and
unkind thing to say, but what are you
and I to do. who are to vote on this
matter? Are we simply to go blindly
to the booth and vote Captain Freder
icks Into office if we be- Republicans, or
vote Tom Woolwine intp office if we be
Democrats? Any citizen who acts on
that theory today Is not only behind
the times, but he is a menace to good
government. | What difference does It
make to you or to me as to whether a
contestant is a Republican or Democrat
for a local office? It is the- two men
In this case whom we must size up
and make our decision.
"The second proposition which- I de
sire to present for your consideration
is not one of personalities so much as it
Is of generalities. You all remember
the former municipal government, pre
sided over by the late Mayor Harper.
The reputation of that demonstration
is so well known that it Is not only
useless to repeat it but in doing so it
will be most unpleasant. Fortunately
for the city of Los Angeles, we have
the recall. This Is the solution for the
regulation of our municipal offices ■'■ i\?
RECALL OF HARPER
"You are all familiar with that great
campaign which was carried on for
the recall of the mayor. You are famil
iar with the men who were behind that
project. I firmly believe they are as
sincere a set of men In endeavoring to
give this city good government as ever
existed. ."-, *
"Now, if you as a property owner or
non-property owner are satisfied with
the present method of conducting the
business of this city as it Is, from the
office of mayor down, you now have an
opportunity to place in the county gov
ernment the same kind of men, because
the" Good Government organization,
which secured the election of the pres
ent municipal officers, is behind and
working hard for the success of the
present candidates for the county gov
ernment. . ■ . ■■.. ' J *"' i
"On the other hand, If you are not
satisfied with the present situation, this
is the time and yours is the privilege
to vote against the Good Government
ticket. But I cannot understand or
appreciate how any man who has the
Interests of his city at heart Could but
admit that our present municipal offi
cers are away above the average, and
that they are doing their duty faith
fully and with exceptional "ability." .•>

PRATT FIGHTS CORRUPTION
"I am not making this flght so much
because I want to be elected," said Dr.
Pratt, "as because I want to see the
office of the coroner of Los Angeles
county free of the corrupt influences
of the Southern Pacific machine. I
have neglected a very remunerative
medical practice at the request of hun
dreds of high-mlnned and patroltio
citizens, in order to defeat the man
who has again so defiantly thrust him
sefl upon the voters of this county, de
manding, In the face of his miserable
record that the people of this county
return him to that office which he has
so notoriously disgraced.
"Mr. Hartwell, as a man, may be a
gentleman, but as a coroner he Is a
despicable politician, an Incompetent
and a failure. We all remember what
a dirty and unsuccessful flght he made
against Ben Ward, the cleanest and
best assessor Los Angeles county ever
had By that flght Hartwell earned
the disrespect of every honest and fair
minded citizen. He is now proving
himself a craven.
"Why is he afraid to answer my
charges
"Wh* does he sit back and let me say
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 21. 1910.
that he is the political dupe of Walter
Parker?
"Why does he not reply when I make
tIM charge that he has prostituted hia ■.
office for political purposes—that he |
is paying his political debts by piv
ing the bulk of his business to the
one undertaking firm in which Walter
Parker is a prominent stockholder?
"Why does he not denounce me when
I make the charge publicly and re
peatedly, that he has called in autop
sy surgeons at a cost of $40 and more
for each autopsy in cases where autop
sies were absolutely unnecessary?
"Why does he not denounce me
when I charge that he called surgeons
to I ng Beach to hold an autopsy, at
a cost of $40 and expenses to the tax
payers of this county, to hold an In
quiry into the cause of death of a
person who was drowned in the sight
of fully 5000 people?
"When I say that he has ordered
autopsies to be held after the bodies
had been embalmed, which is abso
lutely against the law, why does he
not denounce me a sa liar?
"Because Mr. Hartwell knows that
I speak the truth. Mr. Hartwell
knows that I can prove all of the sev
enteen specific charges which I have
made against him In this campaign.
"If I am elected coroner of Los An
geles oounty, the office will be re
moved from the pale of political In
fluences. Walter Parker nor the South
ern Pacific political machine will
have the slightest influence over me.
The undertaking department in which
Walter Parker, the Southern Pacific
boss, is a prominent stockholder, will
get not one particle more of the busi
ness than will any other undertaking
concern in this town. I will dis
tribute the coroner's business on the
rotation basis, I will see that the af
fairs of the coroner's office are ad*
ministered fairly and equitably, and
I will see. that the taxpayers of Loa
Angeles, county are not called on to
pay fnr unnecessary autopsies.
"I will see that the wishes of the
families of dead persons are consult
ed before a body is given to any under
taker, I will see that autopsies are
held before the bodies have been em
balmed, I will see that funerals are
not broken up by greedy and ghoulish
undertakers, I will see that the blame
is placed squarly and fairly in every
instance where a wage earner is killed
in the discharge of those duties by
which he reached his death, I will Fee
that my verdicts are so worded that
where a wage earner is killed as a
result of the carelessness of an em
ployer that it will be possible for his
family or dependents to bring suit for
damages."
Guy Eddie, in his speech In Smock's
hall, took up certain assertions re
garding his official acts made by Fred
ericks in his speech In Simpson audi
torium. He charged thnt the district
attorney deliberately sought to put a
cloud on his reputation by making
false statements. Going into detail
regarding the first Harper grand jury,
the speaker refuted the nssevfons of
Fredericks and fortified his statements
by reading an affidavit signed by Wiley
J. Phillips substantiating what he said
with regard to certain proceedings af
fecting denizens of the red light dis
trict.
PATS TMBOTE TO STEPHENS
E. J. Fleming, In the course of his
address, paid a tribute to Judge Al
bert Lee Stephens, who is a candi
date for superior court judge and who
was present. In part, he said:
"I am glad that Judge Stephens Is
here tonight for the reason that I wish
to add my commendation of him as one
of the public officials of this county
who, in the best Bense of that much
abused term, ' has made good.'
"In the dark days of the Harper ad
ministration, when our city was ruled
and dominated by one of the most
corrupt administrations that ever dis
graced''this city or any other city on
the American continent; when the po
lice department was dominated by that
same Influence —and I don't wish to
say anything.unkindly to the rank and
file of the police department—l mean
the men who ruled, who commanded
those men who were placed there by
political Influences; at times when It
devolved upon me to secure search
warrents to raid some den of Iniquity
in this city, at a time when I dared
not go before one of the police judges
of this city because the police spios,
the police officers, were watching every
movement that I made, when my ste;^a
were dogged night and day by private
detectives—l say, when I needed thf.se
search warrants, when I required sec
recy, when I wanted to be certain that
there would be no leaks—it was my
pleasure and my privilege to seek out
the services of Albert Lee Stephens,
and I never found at any time that that
trust or that confidence was violated.
"Therefore, for what he has done,
for the service he has rendered In this
county in his official career, he de
serves advancement to the superior
court bench of this county, one of the
most Important in the gift of the peo
ple, and If you place upon him tin
mantel of that office, If you allow him
to discharge the duties of that offtfp,
you need never fear that you have
made a mistake.'*

Mr. Hayes said Johnson la conducting
a light in this state along the sama
lines as that being conducted by the
progressives In other states.
Mr. Johnson was hoarse from con
tinued outdoor speaking, and was
forced to speak very Blowly to make
himself understood In the big audi
torium. He made It plain that his poli
cies now are the same as In the
| primary, when he made his campaign
! against William F. Herln's alleged con

LOUIS GUERNSEY, WHO
IS LEADING IN RACE
FOR ASSEMBLYMAN
t"^ w — . „.. .. ....... ,~A
GUERNSEY- WINS LEAD
IN ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGN
Louis Guernsey, Democratic nominee
for the state assembly from the
Seventy-fifth district, oppasing Dr.
Lamb, the insurgent Republican nom
inee, is waging an unusually effective
campaign, and is rapidly securing the
support of the most prominent Repub
licans in the district which he seeks to
represent in the next legislature. Mr.
Guernsey has just been appointed spe
cial writer and news editor of the
Democratic county and state publicity
bureau, and in this important capacity
is doing a great deal of able work for
the entire county and state ticket.
Mr. Guernsey is one of the best
known newspaper men in Los Angeles
and a writer and orator of recognized
ability. He has been identified in an
editorial and reportorial capacity with
some of the most prominent newspaper
men In the east, and was a power for
a number of years in one of the lead-
Ing up-state counties of New York. He
came to Los Angeles a number of years
ago to "grow up with the country,"
and has studied local conditions In
sistently.
No man in the state is more familiar
with the needs, requirements and
ideals of Southern California than Mr.
Guernsey, and no man Is better ac
quainted with the citizenship of the
city and county In which he lives. He
has long been known throughout the
city as one of the most able and fear
less crusaders for better government
and cleaner politics, and has been
actively identified with practically
every political or moral movement in
the city which has tended toward the
betterment of local conditions.
As an orator he Is known as well for
the power of his logic and for his
earnestness and impressive delivery as
for the remarkable depth and volume,
of his voice, which penetrates to the
furthest corner of the largest audi
torium, and, as Mayor Alexander once
said, "can be heard a mile in a thun
derstorm."
Mr. Guernsey's opponent. Dr. Lamb,
seems to be making but little effort to
defeat him, and the fact that so many
prominent Republicans in the Seventy
fifth district are strenuously support
ing Mr. Guernsey has caused his
friends to make the most sanguine
prophesies of his victory. Regardless
of partisanship, Mr. Guernsey is one of
the most fearless and popular candi
dates the Democratic party possibly
could have nominated, and his well
known Integrity, fidelity to principle
and unswerving loyalty to the interests
of his home and neighbors insure his
election, in spite of political prefer
ences.
STATE BOLO CLUB IS
BELL FOR GOVERNORSHIP
The Los Angeles county central com
mittee received word yesterday from
Oakland announcing that the State
8010 club, at Its annual meeting Octo
ber 20. unanimously indorsed Theodore
A. Bell, the Democraic nominee for
governor. The 8010 club is the official
organization of all the veterans of the
Civil War, the Spanish War and the
Philippine Insurrection.
All of the trustees of the State 8010
club were present at the meeting, in
cluding representatives of the various
county organizations, the membership
of which is restricted entirely to former
soldiers, sailors and marines of the
regular or volunteer service. These
8010 clubs have been highly successful
in the recent primaries, when in several
instances they succeeded in nominating
their own men for important offices,
and hence they are expected to be .a
most important factor hi California
politics.
The following statement was sent to
the chairman of the Los Angeles coun
ty Democratic central committee by the
president of the State 8010 club:
"For Borne time past the trustees of
the club have been investigating the
claims and professions of the candi
dates, and after the most careful con
sideration of all Vlrcumstances attend
ing the present campaign decided to
give their indorsement to Bell, as they
feel convinced that their Interests will
be safest in his hands, and that he will
give the national guard, which is es
pecially close to the hearts of all the
veterans, an administration that will
make for much needed Improvement,
and elevate It to a standard of efficien
cy that will place our national guard
In the forefront of our national mili
tary organizations.
"On the other hand, Mr. Johnson did
not appeal to the veterans as a man
that would do anything for either the
veterans or the national guard, and the
promises made by his political lieuten
ants did not have sufficient sincerity in
them, and were at the very best bo
vague that no reliance could be placed
upon them.
"The State 8010 club has therefore
sent out urgent appeals to all veterans
and their friends to support with all
their strength the candidacy of The
odore A. Bell for governor of Cali
fornia." '
GUY EDDIE REPLIES
TO FREDERICKS
Says Simpson Auditorium Insin
uations "Cowardly and
Dastardly Act"
Guy Eddie yesterday answered the
insinuations against himself made by
J. *D. Fredericks In his speech in
Simpson auditorium last week in a
scorching letter addressed to the dis
trict attorney. "I regard it as a most
cowardly and dastardly act on your
part," says Mr. Eddie, who takes up
the Fredericks statement In detail.
His letter is as follows:
"Oct. 21, 1910.
"Mr. J. D. Fredericks, district attor
ney, International Bank building,
city.
"Sir—lf lam correctly informed, you.
In your address at Simpson auditorium
Saturday night, October 15, uttered the
fololwing regarding me: 'Gentlemen,
Mr. Guy Eddie Is not running for of
fice; he never will run for office. Mr.
Guy Eddie don't dare to run for of
fice. But that Is all I care to say about
him.'
"If you said the above, I regard it
as a most cowardly and dastardly act
on your part. A person with any man
liness or character in him at all would
not stoop to such base insinuation, but
if he had anything to say about an
other person, would either say it or
remain silent.
"Now, as for daring to run for of
fice, I want to inform you that I would
have been a candidate before the peo
ple at this present moment if the Good
Government organization had not
elected to indorse Mr. L. R. Works for
the independent judgeshlp instead of
myself.
INVITES •TMTSOLOSTTKE"
"Mr. Fredericks, In the foregoing
quotation from your address, there is
an insinuation that you know some
thing about me which would keep me
from running for office. I therefore
hereby demand of you, and give you
permission, to make known to the pub
lic any true discreditable thing you
know about me. I also wish to inform
you that I am gylng to give this let
ter to the press for publication, that
the public may know of this demand
on my part, and form its opinion of you
if you fail to answer after your base
insinuation.
"Furthermore, Mr. Fredericks , you
stated that my affidavit relating to
your connection with the Marietta-
Pearl Morton affalr>is a 'damnable lie.'
I want to tell you that when you say
that you are either Intentionally ut
tering a falsehood or you are suffering
from very bad lapse of memory. Per
mit me to recall to your memory a
visit of mine, together with others, to
your office just prior to the time I filed
those cases In question. Do you not
remember that visit? Do you not re
member your declaring to us, at that
time, that if a prosecution were
brought against Mr. Murietta of the
sheriff's office, for renting his premises
to Pearl Morton for purposes of pros
titution, It would get your office and
the sheriff's office at loggerheads? And
do you not remember, at that meet
ing, at getting quite wrathy at Wiley
J. Phillips, and telling him that if he
(Phillips) would attend to his own busi
ness you would attend to yours, and
that he replied to you, 'Well, we want
to know when you will attend to
yours'? And do you not remember,
also, saying, just before that meeting
broke up, 'Well, it Is up to Eddie, he
can prosecute If he wants to?'
LAPSE OF MKMOBT
"Possibly you now, if you were,
when you declared my affidavit to be
a 'damnable lie,' suffering from a lapse
of memory, realize that you were mis
taken, and that my affidavit is not a
'damnable lie.'
"Permit me also to call your atten
tion, Mr. Fredericks, that you stated
In the address in question the follow
ing: 'But this I do know about Mr.
Eddie: After the first Harper grand
jury had adjourned and I was endeav
oring to keep these houses closed, Mr.
Eddie came to mo and asked me to
appoint him as city prosecutor, and I
asked him, •What do you think ought
to be done about the redlight district?'
'Well,' he said, 'I think the district at
torney ought not to meddle with that;
I think it ought to be left to the po
lice force.' Well, I knew what that
meant at that time, and I knew that
meant that Mr. Eddie was not thti
man I was looking for.' In the above
statement you have laid yourself badly
open. You know, and everybody else
who was in this city at the time knows,
that long before the first Harper grand
jury ever assembled or was ever
dreamed of, your power to appoint a
city prosecutor was taken away from
you by the supreme court of this state
in the case of Fleming vs. Hnnce, 153
Cal. 162. You know that at the time
you mention I was aslstant city prose
cutor under appointment from Leslie
R. Hewitt, city attorney of Los An
geles. You know that Mr. Leslie R.
Hewitt Is the man who would have
made the appointment of city prose
cutor at that time, and that you would
have had nothing whatever to do with
It. You, therefore, when you said the
above, were intentionally and ma
liciously fabricating an unqualified
falsehood to injure me.
"Respectfully yours,
"GtTY EDDIE."

LAWYERS DISLIKE
CRAIG'S METHODS
Judicial Candidate's Statements
Said to Savor of Patent
Medicine Ado
Los Angeles attorneys are resenting
the statement made by Gavin Craig,
candidate for superior judg^, that he
is trying cases as court commissioner I
precisely the same as julges of the
superior court. This argument made
by Mr. Craig and his friends to ad
vance his candidacy, is regarded is
savoring of "patent medlcin-j advertis
ing methods," as a leading attorney
desiglnated It yesterday.
"The statement Is misleading and
not at all warrented by the facts." ho
said yesterday. Judge Walter Bord
well, presiding judge of th 3 superior
court, took a similar stand when the
matter was presented to him by a re
porter for The Herald.
"Such a statement Is an advertis
ment pure and simple in the Interest
of the candidate," said one of the most
prominent members of the Los Angeles
bar. "Extreme and unwarranted
statements may be expected of ad
vertisers of patent medicinoH. Puffing
of wares in advertising matter is tol
erated. But extravagance of repre
sentations or framing of misleading
sentences in advertisements of candi
dates for office, especially for judicial
office, in an effort to advance their
self-interest is offensive and tends t'»
prove a lack of appreciation of the'
proprieties of the occasion and dig
nity and high plane of conduct ex
pected of one who Is really fit for such
a position."
MUST BEPOBT TO COURT
Mr. Craig advertises that he is court
commissioner of this county and
has been trying cases the same as any
judge of the superior court. '."
This matter was presented by a
reporter of The Herald to Judge Wal
ter Bordwell, presiding judge of the
superior court, who was asked If such
statement were warrented.
"The facts do not at all justify such
a representation," said Judgu Bord
well. "The court commissioner of
Los Angeles county may receive evi
dence on issues of fact in cases pend
ing before the court, provided it is
required of him by the court, anil md ■;• ,
such circumstances he may make find
ing of fact upon the evidence received
and draw his conclusions thereof and
report the same to the court. If the
court is satisfied with N the commis
sioner's findings and conclusions, then
the court may approve them and enter
judgment accordingly; if they bo not
satisfactory the court may set them
aside and make new findings and draw
new conclusions.
. NO AUTHOBITT TO ACT
"In no case Is a commissioner em
powered to give judgments. And a
commissioner has no authority to act
in any case whatever unless specially
referred to him by the court—except
that ' a commissioner may make cer
tain ex parto preliminary orders in
pending cases, provided | all the judges
are absent from the county or are un
able to attend to the business of the
court, which of course, is not likely
to happen in this county.
