GEORGE A. VAN SMITH
;. ' . Secretary of State Charles F. Curry
• ;' was indorsed for governor yesterday by
thft joint legislative t>oard representing
. . -the railroad conductors, trainmen and
.engineers of California. Curry's in
dorsement was voted yesterday after
noon after a three days* battle on the
;. pan of the representatives of the rail
"; \u25a0 -road political machine to land the in-
V dorsement for Alden Anderson.
':•\u25a0 The indorsement of Curry for goyer

\u25a0:\u25a0 tsrular battle between the railroad

railroadmen's organization to indorse
\u25a0: ' Alden Anderson was the lirst pitched
- political battle ever fought out with
; the railroadmen on one sida and the
. railroad political bureau on the other.
That it may he the last was indicated
by. one of the railroad officials' sum
moned to San Francisco to coerce the
.; men. who said: "Times have changed:
-" . -0 years ago we would have given a
nod and it would have been done."' •
MACHINE SLATE RUBBED
The legislative board representing
the railroad employes not only refused
.to indorse Anderson but also turned
down the candidates on the. machine
:" slate for lieutenant governor and state
printer. Dick Ferris of Ixts Angeles,
. " the independent candidate for lieuten
ant governor, was indorsed over Bert
Farmer by wha,t was said to be a vir
tually unanimous vote, and State
Printer Billy Shannon beat Grattan D.
Phillips, the Anderson-machine <andi
fdate, by a vote of better than 3 to I.
It is understood that the joint legis
lative board will complete its work to
f'Jay and return a report on a complete
state ticket. Xo authorized statement
.was given out last night, but it was
. . generally understood that the indorse
;• ments agreed upon, besides Curry for
governor. Ferris for lieutenant gover
nor and Shannon for state printer, in
"'•\u25a0 eluded Walter D. Wagner for secretary
of state, Frank Mattison for controller
. '. and TV. R. Williams, incumbent, for
•'. state treasurer.
\u25a0.- The rejection of the plea for the in
:: .'.d.orsement of Alden Anderson is oon
:". Kidered by politicians the most crush
}\u25a0." ing blow ever received by the railroad
"\u25a0 political bureau. The directors of the
machine were confident that they
•v ci»uld pull down a majority of the men
•;Who had been instructed by their sev-
V '. wal divisions to vote for the indorse
- . ment of Curry. They brought extra
\u25a0:.6fJinary pressure to bear. It was ad
:; mitted by Anderson's friends that the
".. indorsement of the railroad employes
would be the bright particular feature
M. of his campaign. They hoped for
': more from it than the mere delivery
\u0084. of a large vote. They expected it to
: -. -lie taken as conclusive proof of the
machine's ability to dominate the rall
. roadmen of the state, and that the
• oft repeated promise to "start some
thing" for AnJerson had been re
deemed.
The machine's failure to inject life
into Anderson's . campaign was re
peatedly excused by machine leaders
on the ground that they were holding
back for a whirlwind finish. Week
after week the skeptical politicians
from city and country were told: "It
\u25a0 Is all right. Something is doing. Look
out for the big blowoff." .- -,", -\u25a0•\u25a0
When the railroadmen's joint;legis
lative board convened in San Francisco
on Monday the representatives of the
engineers were seated on it for the
first time. Until this year the con
ductors and hrakemen have conducted
their fights for legislation and. against
• unfavorable legislation without the
; assistance of the engineers* and fire
men's organizations.
The fighting blood of the trainmen's
• ; ; organizations was roused in 1909 by
" • the defeat of their so called "full
• crew" bill, which they fought through
the legislature, but was not signed by
.' 'the governor. They decided to take an
advance hand in politics and to indorse
tor. the support of their members only
those candidates for public office who
" rould be relied upon to give them what
they considered fair treatment for
.' themselves as well as for the employ
•" FIGHT WAS PREDICTED
' Before the joint legislative board
convened in San Francisco on Monday
it was generally known among- the ma
" chine politicians that they had a fight
.on their hands and that only the most
••.strenuous methods'" would result -jn
-• landing for them the coveted-indorse
ment of Anderson. Men wore sent out
on the divisions to labor with members
of the joint board and when the board
• " met to take up Its work a horde of of>
'. ficials was loosed on its members.
•' The original schedule agreed upon by
* resolution at a prior meeting at Stock
.• ton provided for an open session on
' Monday, at which candidates were to be
•heard in their own behalf, and an 'ex
. ecutive session on Tuesday for the vot
ing of- Indorsements. On Tuesday an
. * informal poll of board disclosed to
the representatives of the machine that
. Curry had a clear majority. The board
\u25a0 -was induced to postpone consideration
<tf indorsement until Wednesday so that
..Alden Anderson, who was hurrying
. here, might be heard in his own behalf.
All Tuesday afternoon and far into the
' night representatives of the machine
• laliored directly and Indirectly with the
members of the joint board. Yesterday
afternoon, after the joint board had
. ' listened to Anderson's appeal, for, its
support, the storm of notes and cards
• from trainmasters, superintendents and
' representatives of the political bureau.
• attempting to swing men at the last
moment, compelled the chairman to rule
that no member might leave the execu
tive session. Among the prominent
. railroad officials working on the men to
' pull them over to Anderson was Tom
Jones, of Sacramento, former division
. '' superintendent, -who has latterly! given
bis entire' attention to the bureau's pol
\u25a0 • -itlcs. and'Al G. Baker of Oakland, the
-. transbay representative of Jere Burke.
According to the' unofficial reports
-; which- leaked from the* executive ees
' * sion only the -names of Curry and An
derson were; presented. The two sup
porters of Johnson and Wilson,: the so
cialist, 'disclosed by the" Tuesday infor r

SPALDING IS A
HOT FAVORITE
Republicans Behind His Cam=
paign Confident He Will
v Win the Toga
That Albert G. Spalding of San Diego
will win the primary contest for re
publican nomination to the United
States senate by an enormous plurality
is the confident assertion of the re
publicans who have volunteered to
prosecute his campaign.
The Spalding campaign is young, only
in northern California. In. southern
California a campaign to' force him into
the- field was prosecuted "for many
weeks, to the end that a comprehen
sive Spalding organization was at work
In every county south of the Tehachapi
long before Spalding was a candidate.
When the San Diego man capitulated
before a petition from the republicans
of 12 counties and the entreaties of the :
southern California committee, whose
invitation to run he had refused four
limes, the Spaldinf? organizations in
those counties were deep, in a cam
paign' that had been under way for
weeks.
Old politicians declare that they
have never witnessed anything like the
manner in which Spalding's campaign'
was inaugurated and spread in cen
tral and northern California. The for
mer star baseball player and magnate
cam'e to San Francisco on Sunday. On
Monday he met republican leaders,
representative of all party factions' and
of all central and northern California.
On Tuesday the Spalding campaign was
on from San "Francisco bay to Siskiyou. 1
Spalding was forced into a situation
unlike anything known to the oldest
of the political wiseacres. Seldom, If
ever, before has a republican nomina
tion to the United States senate gone
begging in a republican state. That
was virtually the situation when
Spalding gave. his consent to make the
Yace. Judge John D. Works, the Lin
coln-Roosevelt league candidate, had
alienated the support of a large num
ber of the leaguers by his screeds
against Roosevelt and against the or
ganization, whose indorsement he had
accepted. The opponents of state di-_
vision were up in arms over his can
didacy, which had so militated against
the success of the Liincoln-Roosevelt
league ticket that Works had been in
duced to separate himself from the
Johnson campaign.
Edwin A. Meservc, the Los Angeles
attorney and politician, broke into the
senatorial situation just when the
machine leaders were congratulating
•themselves over the seeming success
of their scheme to avoid a primary
senatorial, contest and the subsequent
repudiation of the primary law by a
legislature that would refuse to vote
for Works. The support of the or
ganization men expected by Mcserve
was not forthcoming. There was a
senatorial situation but v no senatorial
campaign until Spalding was brought
out. Now there is a senatorial cam
paign which old time politicians de
clare is a walkover for SpalJing, who
is affiliated with no factions and Iden
tified with the promotion of no state
division or antl-fr^elunch fads.
Wilson Issues Challenge
J. Stitt Wilson, socialist candidate
for governor, is abroad with a chal
lenge to any other candidate for gov
ernor, regardless of party, to meet him
in debate at the socialist mass meeting
to be held tomorrow evening in the
Building Trades auditorium at Four
teenth and Guerrero streets. He has
thrown down the gage in the follow
ing announcement, being circulated
throughout the city on the handbills
advertising the meeting:
"I herewith challenge any candidate
for governor to meet me at this mass
meeting and dare to offer to the work
ing classes a reason why the labor vote
should be cast against me. I challenge
these capitalist candidates to meet me
before any audience of workers and
\u25a0 defend the capitalist system, which* is
the. fundamental wronfc that is robbing
the people, throttling trades unionism,
polluting the government and menacing
Keesling Indorsed
A \u25a0 meeting in support of the candi
dacy of Francis -V. Keesling for the re
publican nomination for lieutenant
governor was held Tuesday evening in
the St. Francis hotel under the aus
pices of the executive committee of the
Keesling central campaign club." A..
F. Giannini presided and Oscar' Sutro
acted as secretary. Reports were read
from Keesling clubs in Alameda, Oak
land, Fresno, San Jose, Bakersfleld,
Redding, Chico, Red Bluff, Sacramento,
- Stockton. Los Angeles, San Diego and
Santa Barbara.
Keesling spent the early. part of this.
week in Los Angeles, and after cover
ing the principal southern cities will
return to San Francisco to direct the
organization of clubs in various cities
.about the bay. -He has. 'reported that
he- finds the situation much in his
. favor.
Keesling claims a strong backing of
Stanford graduates and. former stu
dents because of his- work with the
legislature in 1899 for the exemption
of Stanford university from taxation.
Gerdes Wins Support
, Fred C. Gerdes, candidate for the
republican nomination to the .assem
bly iit the thirty-fifth. district, is mak
ing a." strong, aggressive light for nom
ination and re-election to the position
he now holds. He has a ! large active
backing in the district and is making

JUDGE SEAWELL'S RECORD
BASIS OF HIS CAMPAIGN
AMONG the six democratic candidates scekiug nomination
to the local superior bench is Judge James MJSeawell, who
for the last 18ycars. has bech- one of the most able and
efficient members* of the court and is now af the close of his third
term. Judge Scawcll was first elected to the bench in 1892, and
in 1898 and again in 1904 was returned by .big^ popular pluralities.
During Jiis long term in office Judge .Seawell has handled
many of the most important cases that' have. been -presented to the
attention of ,thc r court, and his •record is one of- the' cleanest and
best ever made. by a San Franciscojudge. Prior to assuming the
bench he was recognized as one of the foremost members of the
localbar. and his career as a judge has been in keeping with* his
reputation as a lawj'er of exceptional ability.
Judge Seawell is one of the threedembcratic judgesseckirjg re
election, as the term of but one republican judge expires this year.
In his campaign he has'not only a. strong- party backing, but the
indorsement of his Colleagues on the bench and* of scores of local
attorneys, regardless of party lines. r . ' .
Judge Seawell has several time's been, chosen as presiding judge
of the superior court, and has always/ handled civil cases. Some of
the knottiest legal problems presented to the court in recent-3'ears
have been left to him tq^decide, and his decisions are recognized
as sound, lc^al interpretations. In few important cases' has he
ever been "reversed by the higher courts, and his method of at
tending to the business of his court with an eye always to the
saving of time has made him popular with attorneys and litigants
alike. \u25a0 '\u25a0 ....... ' •..": ~- -.- . \u25a0' \u25a0\u0084 ,;.-.'; \u25a0,\u25a0,-.\u25a0
Registration Shows Growth
of Downtown Population
The segregation of. the San Francisco registration by assembly
districts compiled by Registrar. E.~C. Harrington offers an interest
ing basis of speculation on the probable'total.vote.at the primary
elation to^be held August 16. and is also .interesting in "comparison
by districts with other registrations for recent elections. : .
In the appended table, thenew registration for',, this year is given
in the first column, and is followedby'the.registration for the prim
aries of. two years ago, which was ; also a ; year of complete new re
gistration. « The comparison shows a marked increase tnis year in
every district in . the city, and particularly', in "the ; forty-second,
forty-third and forty-fourth, which comprised- the major portion of
the burned district. '.'\u25a0...:..'.. ', \u0084..*,,,,!.*,,,,...*,
The third column below gives the registration-for the 1909 prim
aries, which were the first' held under the new; direct" primary, law.
The total is greater because of therfact that the' 1909 registration
was not new, but'had extended over, a period : 'of- one'aud, a' half
years instead of less than seven months. \ lii spite of; this,' both the
forty-third and forty- fourth districts show a greater, registration
than was enrolled a year ' ago, indicating ' the continued growth' of
the downtown section. , ' 1 , " - r y \u25a0 ;.,;

The primary- disfranchisement of
Mayor McCarthy was not , the result
of mistake or neglect on" the part of
the' mayor.* -The chief executive of
San Francisco was not one of 'the
2,000 electors enrolled as members of
the union labor party -who failed' to
effect a transfer of registration after
learning that ; the union labor party
would have no primary or general elec
tion ticket this year. . The mayor reg

mayor's promise has been redeemed.

he registered as a member" of the un
