MURPHY'S PROPHECY
MAKES BRYAN GLAD
Nebraskan Takes Added Com«
fort From Prediction of Vic=
tor>' in New York State
Illinois Politician Declares His
State Will Be Found in
Democratic Column
LINCOLN. 2Ceb., Aug. 13. — The added
prophecy of Tammany \ Leader ilurphy 1
that Xew York would be found for]
Bryan -in November, and of Free P.i
Morris, former member of the Illinois!
legislature, that that state also could!
be considered in the democratic column,
caused satisfaction at Fairview; today, i
- Bryan got. much comfort oat of the
prediction yesterday of . State Chair
man Vr. iJ. Conners that the empire
state was safely -for him. but the addi
tional assurances by Murphy, who is
considered as in very close touch with
the political situation of New York,
were more than welcome news to the
democratic candidate.
Morris rode out to the Bryan home
in the afternoon and brought the en
couraging news from his state He ex
pressed himself to Bryan as being cer
tain that the national candidates and
Adlai Stevenson, who Is running for
governor, would draw many republican
votes.
Bryan announced that he would
speak in Dcs Jloines on August 21 in
the open aSr at S o'clock in the even
ing, probably at the fair grounds. The
speech trill be somewhat longer thar
notification address, and Bryan
states it will be an exhaustive
discussion of the tariff question. He
will speak on "the trusts" at Indian
apolis and on the guaranty of bank
deposits in Topcka.
"WE'LL WIN," SAYS MURPHY
XEW YOftK, Aug. IS.— Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, gave
out an interview today in which he
declared that his view of the po
litical situation in New York state was
that the democracy is going to win
tbjs year. Of Bryan, the Tammany
chieftain said:
"Mr. Bryan is much stronger in the
state than he was either ix; 1836 or
ISOO. Why? i do not exactly know.
yet. but the fact remains that there
is a variety .of evidence on which to
base the belief in his Increased popu
larity. One reason. I think, lies in the
dissatisfaction with Roosevelt and
Rooseveltian politics — too much auto
cratic rule and swinging of the big
stick. A great many men who«sided
with the republican party will not do
so this yt-ar. It means something when
men like Judge Morgan. J. O'Brien and
Delam-ey XicolL, who opposed Bryan In
the past, axe now going to vote for
him."
He said that Bryan, bemg at the head
of the national ticket, would be a help
to the state democratic ticket instead
of a Orag, as in the past. He added:
"I indorse the ticket and platform
heartily, and shall go right to work
for it."
DEMOCRATS SLOW WITH CASH
CHICAGO. Aug. 16. — The democratic
national committee is planning for a
general conference of the heads of
bueaus and other committeemen, while
W. J. Bryan is here, August 22 and 23,
and all plans ofr the campaign will
be submitted to the candidate for his
approval. It was stated at headquar
ters today that campaign funds are
coming in slowly both here and atj
Guthrie, Okla., the home of Governor
Haskell, treasurer of the committee.
General J. B. Weaver of lowa, the
populist presidential candidate in 18&6,
will &peak at Galena, 111., on August
Democratic clubs.
KERX WAITS NOTIFICATION
INDLVNAPOLIS, Aug. 15. — John WJ
Kern arrived home from Lincoln la»t
night and this morning he and Mrs-
Kern left for Rockville to- spend Sun
day with friends. Mr. Bryan will come
to Indianapolis probably on the morn
ing of August 25. the date of the
Kern notification, and in the afternoon
he will make a speech at the state fair
grounds. On August 19 Kern will
speak at Milwaukee at a reunion of
Dernocraitc clubs.
REPUBLICANS PICK
DEMOCRATIC JUDGE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
STOCKTON", Aug. 15. — After a bitter
contest which waged for more than
two hours Judge W.B. Xutter, a demo
fcrat and at present judge of the su
perior c^urt of San Joaquin county;
was nominated by the republican coun-'
ty convention which was held here to
day. --
The name of Judge Nutter when pre
sented to the convention caused an up
roar among some of tlie delegates, who
contended that no democrat should be
considered in a republican convention.
Four nominations were made, and
after three ballots had been taken
Judge Nutter was declared nominated.
On the first ballot Judge : Frank H.
Smith received- nearly the unanimous
vote of the convention. There -were
tvto judges to be nominated and two
additional ballots were necessary to
bring about a choice between Judge
Nutter and his two repnblicn oppon
ents.
As a result of today's convention a
solid organization delegation will be
sent to the state convention, all of
whom proclaim their allegiance to Se
ator Perkins and Congressman Need
ham.
John T. Lewis was nominated with
\u25a0m:t opposition^ for senator of the 'elev
enth senatorial district and ., Speaker
Robert L. Beards-ley received- the unan
imous vote of his delegation for.assem
blyman of the : tweaty-thir"d district.
One of the hottest contests of the
convention was that of Assemblyman
A. E. P^rcival of Lincoln-Roosevelt
league affiliation. Up to -within a few
hours of the, call to order of the con
vention no organization candidate could
be. secured. The machine forces rallied
to the support of G. R. Garretson, and
though every effort was made to turn
the coun try delegates Percival | won by
a majority of 12 votes out of a total
of 66 votes tast for the assembly dis
tricts. '

RESE.VTS ATTACK OX BELL
In the first place jt is* to - tie : noted "that tbe
statement iiwoctt by the" local democratic bo*3
is ia . the. niaia . a fplenetiv* 1 attack ! upon Mr.
Bell. evWi»mly inspired 1 by piqoe due. to uls
own defeat, as ->mws- of. the democratic party.
Tbe as=i>ei>ionß cast upon Mr. Bell, «> • far as
tliey are not merely so much childish 211 temper,
are based cpoa two jrrnm»ds— first, that Mr
Bell has t«een a candidate for public ofntt; sec
ondly, Uiat. the jrcnUeinan does not lire here.
Thns the lwai boss raises, two new Issues Ja
politic^, namely, as to whether s man vrho b.ii
been a candidate for office may thereafter take
part in the affairs of his '• party, and as to
whether a man who d(*-s nut live here, hut
wl'i Is a native -or .jfair state,' may . adTise
and act with those of his party who do live
here. .. \u25a0 '\u0084. .•: , ,- - \u0084
The mere statement of tr.ese' iss««*s i< /iiffl
cient U> settle tb<>ra faTirably t.» Mr. IV'll in
the minds of intelligent citizens. If Is snCScirut
to rwnind the people of Ssb Francisco that the
man who raises ti:e*p <)uc^tlons owes the inSu
ence.of hb assumed leadership to the fact that
he has «a-?tan?ly surrounded himself with office
holders sod with offlc-e swkers muiy of rrhoai
have been defeated <^n mor» thacwic occasion.
Ttc reference to i!r. Bell's place of residence
and to b!s»meinbershlp in a fraternal orgsniza
ti<m are of a^pieee with -the stncral tone of the
sntc-electiun stateiaent issued by the local boss..
Ttt^e references would be ont of place St any
time, coming from any man styling- himself a
democrat; they are particularly inappropos com
ic? from their pre>ent eonree and under the
pretense of explaining an assumed Tietory.
DISCUSS 3IOIIAL OP DEFEAT
The local boss effects an air of: great satis
faction -with tlie resnlt of Toesday'B election,
lie speaks of the' moral contained ia- "Bell's
crashing defeat," of the jieople of San Kr»«
ci&co ha vjn:; . "passed a tute of coendenee In
tUemselTes" (by which presumably he means
himself), and of the iofioenee of union men in
the councils of the '.''local orsanizntion." These
statements." wl:en compared with the known
fact?, . especially the ngiarea of tbe election.'
are po^ltirely absurd. . \u25a0
The victory : ( ?) cf tie "locil orgtlzaUon'* is
renmed up in the fact that* it has polled oaJy
at<oat 1,2<.>0 rotes more .than has the club ia
a total of nearly S.OvO votes. The dimensions
I of this TSctory diminish appreciably when it Is \
; recalled that these . figures are the result of a 1a 1
campaign In which the power of r*«lrona?e. not !
to mention the power of money, was invoked in '
the largest possible degree, even to the extent
of dlscharginj: employes of public offices who
refused to "do polities" at the dictation of th!« \u25a0
local boss, and premising lucrative jobs to all'
and sundry who would agree to work for the i
"program tickets." ;
DECLARES VICTORY DUBIOUS \
Further it should l>e I>orne in mind that a :
number of districts were won by the "organiza
tion" by a m^pla Iso eciall that a change of
from one to £5 votes won'd have altered tbe re
sult. Ccnsiderine the adventages of the posi
tion occupied by tbe "local prganization," the re- !
enlt cannot but be regarded . as a very dnbiocs
victory *(?)- Considering the gala* made by the
democratic clob It is apparent that another such
Tictory ( S) will transfer i the honors of "regn
lartty" from the hands of the local boss to a
truly democratic orpaairation.
The San . Francisco ' democratic clnb is the or
ganization or following of no Kinple man or nnm
ber of men. It reco/rnizes no"* leadership ether
than that of wise counsel and . strictly demo
cratic character. It was organized for the pur
pose of re-cstablisbin;r.in S&n Kraneisco a demo
cratic party which shall represent and expretts
the democratic sentiment of the community. -Jt
is pledged - to tbe . object of . securing a govern
roent which shall be democratic in fact as well
as in name.
The result of the recent election affords rea
sonable ground for tbe prediction that . the ob
jects of the clob are In keeping with the wishes
of the people and that aa a consequence of pub
lic faith in Its purpose* and' personnel these ob
jects will be obtained is the near fnture. Dnr- :
ing the coming campaign the . clcb win devote
its whole energies to insuring the election of
Bryan and Kcm as d the state and local demo
cratic candidates. .

FRAUD TO LEAGUER
SrECIAI/ DISPATCH TO THE CALX.
I ' LOS AXGELES, 1 Aug. 15. — Because
[Robert Mitchell, Lincoln-Roosevelt can- ,
I ditfate for assemblyman in the sreventy^
| Sft* assembly district of this coarity.
iA of aa : excitable temperament he has
become involved in va! predicament of
which the machine politicians are mak
ing the most
[ ' In. . f the heat of Tuesday's primary
Mitchell twice during the day signed
his name to the city, hall . voting reg
ister, each time casting bis ballot. A
few minutes later he remembered his
error and quickly reported the inad
vertence to - the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league headquarters. The attorneys
[there told him to> demand of the judges
that they withdraw the ballot and
erase his name. This they refused to
do, preferring- to make political -capi
tal out of the "error/ They Imme
diately ordered that a warrant be
sworn out for Mitchell's arrest.** The
district \u25a0- attorney refused to bring the
charge after having been told the clr-*
cum3tnnces, and so a complaint was
(sworn to by P. W. Ila'tch.
j Last night Mitchell was arrested on
1 his ranch at Corona and immediately
j gave bail.
1 "If the election board persists in
• going after Mitchell we may have
I something to say about the careiess
j ness of election officials who permitted
j a man as well known as Mitchell , to
j vote a. second time, knowing that he
i had voted once and was under a great
mental strain." said Meyer Lissner.
I "No person who knows Mitchell be
lieves for a moment that ho had any
thought of voting twice."
Mitchell- is a" well to "do. realty cnan
and lives at the Union League club.
J His . friends have nn fear for the out
come of the incident. -
