2 McMURRAY OUT FOR BERTH IN STATE SENATE Former League Worker Opposes E. J. Callan in Twenty second District Independent Republican Club Is Launched to Boost Candidacy and Situation Is Tangled N>"vv complications have arisen in the senatorial light in- the twenty-second district through the announcement last night of the candidacy of Edwin T. Jlc- Murray for the republican nomination for state senator. The McMurray boom was launched at a meeting in Rich mond hall at Fourth avenue and Clem out street, at wh'icti the Independent jipublican club of the twenty-second *. -natorial district was organized- STAVTOX DBXIES itl'MOR TI)« novrcst twist in connection with Hie republican gubernatorial situation js the rumor going the . rounds con cerning tho poKSibility or the with drawal from the Jight of Phil Stanton. Stanton's backers denounce the story as yn unfounded attempt to discredit -their candidate and attribute the rumor V^ opposition sources. As a matter of fa^s. "it looks very much like* a cam l>aijru move to boost the candidacy of Ald^n Anderson, for the story as cir culated is based on the suggestion that the United States scnatorship be given as a consolation prize to one of the present candidates for governor. The refusal of the republican state central committee at its meeting a week jigo to adopts resolutions placing moral obligations upon the party legislators to support ihe senatorial candidate win 31 ins the advisory vote has practically settled th<» chance of Judge Works, the , only candidate now formally in the field. That Works will not receive the legis lative support is a foregone conclusion, liut it is equally as certain that none of the live candidates for governor could hope to secure the requisite back ing, oven if one of the defeated ones \u25a0{should make the race. 3IAV BK OFFERED TOGA Despite all this, it is being hinted tluU the organization support far sen lifjr might be given Stanton if he would consent to withdraw from the ::i2:ht for go\*ernor and back the Ander son contest. Stanton's closest advisers, however, assert' that there isn't the slightest possibility that he will agree 10 the organization program. The promise of the senatorship is entirely ioo ephemeral to attract his fancy. Aldcn Anderson spent Sunday night in San Francisco and left yesterday for Petal unia. where he spent his time last evening in conference with his personal lieutenants. He will go today to Santa Kosa and will make side trips to other points in Sonoma county. Hiram W. Johnson continued his speaking i tour southward yesterday, vi?iting Morgan Hill, Rucker. Gilroy. Campbell and Saratoga during the day and holding a meeting !aut night it Los Gatos. Nat nilery's managers again have enlivened the campaign situation with a denunciation of Hiram W. Johnson's supporters, to whom they attribute a statement, referring in uncomplimentary terms to tho matter of the cost of plans for the normal school at San Jose. MEYDACIOUS FALSEHOOD !n a written statement given out yes terday at the Ellery headquarters the printed reference to the state normal Kchool matter was referred to as "a deliberate and mendacious falsehood." The statement continues: - "Th«? juggled figures were, lssued by tlip Johnson manager, to whom they \u25a0were furnished by State Senator George H. Walker (better known as 'Dirty Shirt Walker*) of San Jose, who is one of Hiram Johnsons supporters. Walker wrote. to Controller Nye, who gave him an itemized statement of the cost of the work at Fan' Jose normal rendered to Mr. Nye by a clerk in the state en fr'neer's office."' A copy of the report mentioned is in cluded in the Ellery campaign letter, and it is analyzed to show that tho architect's fees on the. state normal !- -honi work amounted to only a small fraction over 3 p*»r cent of the estimate instead of to 13*4, as charged. ATTACKS JOH\SO\ The statement concludes with the fol lowing attack: 'The inspiration of this underhand deception was a 'frame up' by 'Dirty Shirt Walker' of the Johnson camp in conjunction with Mr. Wolf, an architect of San Jose and friend of Boss Mc- Kenzle. who is state labor commissioner and the tool of Herrln and the Southern Pacific railroad, because they realize tliat Ellery is breaking into both their ramps, and -shows that Anderson and Johnson are in this flght together for cither to win, and that Boss Herrin and his forces aro also back of Hiram John- Kon and that Johnson is misrepresent ing himself to the voters of California as a railroad reformer." The .crpneral executive board of the slat-? building trades council of Califor nia, at a meeting held yesterday in th^ offices of the council, discussed the state political situation at some length and ndoptc-d resolutions the can didacy of W. H. Bemiss. park commis sioner and manager of the building trades temple, association, for the re publican nomination for clerk of the supreme court. All central labor bodies end unions in the state were requested by the resolutions to give Bemiss their indorsement and support, and to ap point special committees to further his candidacy. The resolutions were sfgned ; by the members of a special committee, consisting of O. A. Tveitmoe, M. f! Connors and J. B. Bowen. Attack Sunday Baseball {Scecial Ditbalch to The Call] SACRAMENTO.

Relbenstein as the first speaker.. The mayor said: Located as we are, accessible to water and railroad transportation, having tributary to us a most fer tile, productive and producing com munity, we were soon recognized as" a suitable locality for a manufac turing center and distributing-point and there came our big flour mills and agricultural implement manu factories and various foundries and \u25a0 iron works. IMPOIITA.VCE OF CITY \u25a0 .We ourselves then awakened to the fact that we, by reason of our natural advantages, were of more than ordinary importance, and. a collective effort was made to let the outside world know of the county of San Joaquin. the city of Stockton, our productive soil, and the thriving: condition of city and' county, and thie promotion and ad vertising persistently pursued has . not only called to the attention of others, but has resulted in we, our selves, coming to realize our own importance. In the last five years the number of tax payers in the county of San : Jcaquin has more than doubled; . the number of small farms has in creased more than tenfold and In creased assessed valuation of prop erty has been more than 50 ncr cent; we have now two lines- of: steamers plying between Stockton and San Francisco and are on the main line of three transcontinental i railroads and will soon be con nected with the greatest electric ' system of railways in the west. GROWTH HAS BEE\ HEAI/THY That our growth has been "•.;»'*' healthy one and' one that has mr spired the confidence" of Investors . is beat indicated by the readiness with which our good roads bonds and the bonds of the South San Joaquin irrigation district ... .have been purchased by investors. . The fertility of our s*»il and the . advantages of our. location have been In no small measure'the cause of this gi-owth ' and development, but the promotion rand advertise ment we have received by the com ' merclal bodies has had alarge part in it. and again, gentlemen of this Commercial club, 1 congratulate you . upon your efforts and' hope that you " may continue the good work* you have entered . upon; though;: much has. been done, much. more may toe accomplished. — -': — \u25a0\u25a0-, , The committee . in charge of arrange ments, believing in the co-operation; of the women,: selected " Mrs.,- Edna j Orr James, a prominent educator, of ;.<\u25a0 this city, \u25a0to speak 'on the 's toast, .'"What Women Can Do as Empire -Builders."' ; : Mrs. James touched oorn r several': ques tions \u25a0>'of vital' importance." \ She' began her remarks by saying that the- woman of today was the same as - her grand THE r^SAN UALLv TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 19l6:- mother, differing only superficially. She said that one of : the \u25a0\u25a0first "things, women can accomplish* hi a municipal ity is to render things/clean, to purify, to beautify. The speaker, said woman hates dirt with a righteous hatred and wages unceasing warfare against dust, dirt and germs.

Mrs. James declared market places should be kept cleaner and the dairies in a sanitary condition. — - I'LEA FOR YOUTH "There are blots on the fair face of our city that we women have not; the means of effacing," she said. "You men have the power that is not ours.. Our boys and. girls are your, sons -and daughters as well as ours, the pride of your souls, the beloved of your hearts. Will you notin every -way make our fair city a fit habitation for them by ridding it of what may mar the clean purity of their souls?" She said if women had their way they would give the. children public playgrounds where they.would.be kept out of mischief. Mrs. James, referring to the local school system, declared that; the best advertisement for a city is a school department whose reputation has be come national. As an example of what women can do in municipal affairs she referred to Mrs. L. Clare -Davis, who has been a member of the board of education for the last 15 years. JUDGE NUTTER. SPEAKS Judge W. B.
