MACHINE HOSTS
IN DESPERATION
MAKE THREATS
Loss of Panama« Pacific Fair
Predicted if Anderson Is
Defeated
Herrinites Offer to Sacrifice
"Regular" Congressmen
for State Victory
GEORGE A. VAN SMITH
In a desperate attempt to make
Aldent Anderson a contender in the
race for the republican nomination for
governor and to stem the tide of re
publicans abandoning his cause daily,
the Herrin machine has threatened Cal
ifornia with the loss of the Panama-
Pacific exposition if Anderson is not
nominated.
The threat is made to exhibit its own
folly and the duplicity of the machine
by the inclusion of a confessed willing
ness to sacrifice one or two "regular"
congressmen to enable the machine to
retain its grip on the government of
California through the nomination and
fiection of its candidate for governor.
The viciousness of the threat is only
equalled t>y the machine's assumption
that the people are hopelessly stupid.
Harbor Commissioner Phil Teller has
b«»en compelled to sign a circular for
general distribution which declares
Uu|t Aldon Anderson's election to the
office of governor would do more to
assist California in the fight for the
Panama-Pacific exposition than the
election of "regular" congressmen who
could vote for congressional recogni
tion of Caiifornia'sclaim.
According to Teller. President Taft
will \>e snubbed and his friendly regard
for California dissipated if Anderson is
not nominated. Teller would have the
people believe that only through the
nomination of Anderson can they ex
press their confidence in the republican
party and the national adniinistratio.
The re-electiu of congressmen who
beiped make the president's policies
Into laws, says Teller, is as nothing
compared with the nomination of An
derson. Here is Teller's estimate of
that vsituation:
"Indeed, it would be more of a snub
to the pres-ident to have California elect
an anti-administration republican gov
ernor and more of a help to insurgency
a« a cause, than for us to lose one or
two congressmen, unfortunate as that
result would be."
Republican congressmen In districts
that have shown a disposition toward
democracy may be able to find some
• omfort in the fact that their services
to the organization and their support
of President Taft is infinitely less im
portant to the California machine than
ie the nomination of Jere Burke"s and
Leon Dennery's candidate for goy-
Teller's circular, which is ready for
the mails, is, made the medium for a
t-ocond deception. Not daring to at
tempt to make the circular appear to be
the work of the party governing com
mittee, it is frankly enough a per
sonal dodger, but under Teller's printed
signature two lines of small type an
nounce that he is de facto chairman
of the republican state central com
mittee.
Ninety-nine men out of every hun
dred of ordinary intelligence know that
the re-election of any one of the in
cumbent congressmen, including Cali
fornia's one insurgent, Hayes, means
more to th«> Panama-Pacific exposition
cause than the selection of half a dozen
state tickets in California. Admitting
that the nomination of Johnson might
h* anything but welcome to the na
tional administration does not make the
nomination of a candidate for governor
of California paramount to the elec
tion of republican congressmen who
tan vote with the majority, and whose
influence can be employed to make
votes on behalf of California.
In one breath the machine tells the
republicans that if Anderson is not
nominated the tariff protection ac
«-orded California will be withdrawn
and offer to out trade a congressman
or two who can, who have and who will
vote for the. protection of California .
in order to nominate a candidate for ;
governor whose influence in the matter
of tariff or tariff legislation would be
alniogt as great as the influence ex
erted by the aurora borealls.
Reports from virtually every county
in the state and the admissions of the
machine men themselves indicate that
neither the tariff nor the machine's
willingness to ditch a congressman or
two for Anderson has resulted in mak
ing him any stronger in the country
than he i/ in San Francisco. The stu
dent of politics who would declare that
Anderson had a chance to run better
than a bad third in San Francisco would
be considered a winning candidate for
a permanent berth in a mad house..
Louring the last 10 days I have talked
\u25a0with men associated with the politics
of one half the counties in California.
With the exception of Anderson and
Johnson, I have talked with nearly all
•the candidates for republican nomina
tion to state office who have visited^
San Francisco during that period. I
bav£ talked with scores of men not
directly associated with any campaign
and with many mtn intimately asso
ciated with the Anderson. Johnson and.
Curry campaigns. No one of these men
has asserted a belief that Anderson i
could run better than third. Some of
them have doubted his "ability to run
third. They have been absolutely
agree,! that. toe fight for the republican
nomination :or governor is between I
Curry and Johnson. A majority of
these men have declared that in their
rtpinion Cutry would win. Some of;
them, Johnson'p tupporters, have de- !
dared that Johnson would win by a
landslide votf. Quite as many have
expressed a lively fear that the ma
chine whip might hold enough votes
in line for Anderson to insure the nom- ;
ination of Johnson over Curry by a
comparatively narrow margin.
Th<> hopelessness of the Anderson
fight was indicated by Tim Sullivan's
refusal to participate in it Sullivan
delivered the San Francisco county
committee to Herf'in two years ago.
He was the boss of the county com
mittee la*st year when it Indorsed the
supervisorial ticket
generally idrnitteJ to be the worst
ticket ever offered to th,» voters .of
San Francisco.
• Sullivan declined to go into the Xn
der.son camp last spring, declaring flat
ly that the superintendent of batiks had
not a fighting chance. Subsequently he
declared that he would break Into the
campaign when he secured a" satisfac
-tory understanding in the " matter of
patronage. Later -he announcej hls
support of Johnson and J2dward Rolkin.

statements developed by the row be

"RAILROAD SHALL NOT RULE" - CURRY
JOHNSOM SCARES ALDEN ANDERSON
CURRY PROMISES
ALL SQUARE DEAL
Neither Railroad Nor Individual
Shall Dominate Me, Says
Candidate
"When I am governor of the state of
California, and I believe that I will be,
no corporation will be back of me, and,
so long as I am in office, no corporation
shall merchandise the legislature. I
shall not eat locomotives for breakfast,
because I do not care for that kind of a*
diet, but I say that no railroad nor any
other private interest shall dominated
the legislature while I am governor."
Such was the statement of Charles F.
Curry last night in the St. Francis hotel
at a banquet tendered him .by the
Charles F. Curry commercial travelers'
club. With applause at every point,
Curry stated his beliefs. He ,said, in
part:
"I am grateful for the support that
has been given me throughout the state.
I am loyal to California's every inter
est, and I am most grateful,to the sales
men, to the knights of the grip, whose
understanding of politics and whose in
terest in good government I fully ap
preciate. Then know that I will be
true to every Interest of San Francisco,
the greatest city on the greatest bay in
the greatest country on earth.
"I want to have it understood that I
am neither a factional, a sectional nor
a class candidate and that I jglll not be
a factional, sectional nor class gover
nor. Whether the interests that must
receive my attention as chief executive
of the state are small or great they
shall be fairly and honestly treated; but
just as sure as any interest or corpora
tion shall seek improperly to influence
legislation by the introduction of any
bill inimical to the mest interest of the
whole people that bill shall receive my
veto. I stand for even handed Justice
first last and all the time and I believe
th.at the people understand that.
"I haven't said an unkind word
against any of my opponents and I will
not. I believe absolutely in the consti
tution of the United States and in the
10 commandments and shall abide abso
lutely by that policy if I am elected. It
has ever been my argument that both
organized capital and organized labor
are necessary In order to insure proper
government, but neither capital nor la
bor should be allowed to usurp the gov
ernment.
"In all fairness I believe that I am
the only candidate for governor that
has complied with the spirit and let
ter of the direct primary law: 1 am ap
pealing to the red blooded republicans
of this state. believe that Lincoln
and Roosevelt are two of the greatest
m#n that the nation hal even seen, but
I am not appealing to the shades of
one nor the people's affection for the
other. I ask you only to consider my
record as a republican, as an official
and as a man. The republican party
is the party of the 'people, the party of
freedom.
"I believe in the protective tariff and
I believe in the protection of home in
dustry. When I am governor there
are many improvements in the city of
San Francisco that shall claim my ear T
ne.«t attention. Not the least of these
will be the betterment of our shipping
facilities.'
. Preceding Curry. • Senator Lester G.
Burnett elicited vigorous applause by
the statement that Curry would.be
elected in spite of every opposing force.
He said: ,
"When Curry is the chief executive
of the state every man will get a square,
deal no matter what his station in life
may be. Curry will give even handed
justice at all times —no more, no less."
Among those who spoke were: Wil
liam P. Hughes, first vice president of
the Travelers' club; Richard Ferris, can
didate for lieutenant governor; Emmet
Dunn, Louis E. Pels. Samuel T. Breyer,
Arthur Courich, and,the toast master,
B. F. Meastand.

Lincolh*Roosevelt Candidate for

Before -an audience • that filled the
Young j Men's • Hebrew association hall
In Page street near Stanyan last night
Hiram W. Johnson castigated W.F.
Herrin and the ; Southern Pacific and
denounced what he. termed the cow
ardly .methods employed against him
by; the managers of . Alden Anderson's
campaign. Anderson's name was not
mentioned by the. Lincoln-Roosevelt
league but he referred to
him repeatedly as a "gentleman of

vein he alluded to him as "this highly
respectable, businessman ; who is op

In comparing . the conduct ot his

Johnson. said in part: \u25a0 ]T^"\a]
"This fight forVthe republican guber

the thought of thinking men." There,
are three' candidates in the field. Two
of them have endeavored .to .prevent
their. lntentions or designs on the state
government from becoming known to
the. public. The third has gone square

the campaign was the elimination of
the Southern Pacific railroad company
from the politics of California. .Wher
ever I spoke to the people I have said,
as I say now, that as" governor I will
see that ."William F. Herrin and the
Southern Pacific company are kicked
out of the. politics; and government of
this state. A singular situation is pre
sented to you here in San Francisco.
You see two candidates -engaged in a
death' struggle for: the support of the
tenderloin. In • fact, there are two
classes of voters for which my op
ponents, contend. >
"One class is. the riffraff of citizen
ship that you find in lower \u25a0 Pacific
street. The other is represented by the
sort of citizens who live in' Pacific ave
nue, and '.who like to describe them
selves as princes* of industry. I admit
that I can not reach the riffraff in Pa
cific street^ and Vl have , no. desire to.
but I want to tell you that it is this
alliance between. Pacific avenue; and
Pacific street that is counted on* to de
feat me and it : is this same combina
tion that-; is responsible for the gov
ernment that San. Francisco has today.
I am an educational, campaigner, and,
ignoring "the one class that is Imper
vious to decency and the other that is
invulnerable to reason, I, appeal to the
good citizenship of the state' of Cali
fornia-that desires good government
throughout 1 the ;land."
