Johns©n, whether -or not he has praised the Taft administration, is considered a republican. As such the president feel? that he should be sup ported by all who have the .welfare of the party at heart. It can be stated authoritatively that President Taft today recognizes no T>reach in the' republican part}-. There is but one republican party. In mat ters "of patronage all will- be recog nized alike. This is no time for party dissen sion, according, to President Taft's view. It . is the; time for all republi can* to forget - differences . and stand together for republican success. Re publicans -in all states had their chance io express themselves at the primaries. The men nominated by the republicans at the primaries arc 'regarded Ivy the president as the choice of their part>\ Whatever dif ferences there Avcre had their airing then. The majority of republicans have spoken and the majority rules. As a matter of fact, not once during ' the campaign, direclh or indirectfy, has Johnson criticised President Taft cr the national administration. Some other reason must besought as the real cause of IV. C. Ralston's grouch and defection. STOCKTON POLITICIANS SEE TRICK BACK OF \ THE KROH CHARGES [Special Dispatch to The Call] STOCKTON.

GALLAGHER I am.going to vote in this election for Hiram Johnson for. governor of California. Besides other issffes, there is onegreat, big issue wrapped, up in the solving. of this contest. It «is. a promise that the Southern Pacific, its agents.-'lieutenants and political bosses will be driven out of California politics once and for all. If this is done, then California has indeed made a tremendous step forward in her- political- history. Legislatures and legislators have been-Jor jears bought and sold the bargain counter of this company's political bureau ; like so many dolls in a. toy shop. Right now the campaign expenses of many can-, didates.arc being paid from the Same source.. No law is enacted if there is obiection from the Southern Pacific political bureau. As *a citizen, I should be very proud of the day that .this condition is remedied. . \ i r ' , \u25a0 Hiram Johnson embodies, to my idea, the best cleireints of fightinc strength necessary for this work. I think he has the ability and deter mination to carry out the things he has promised tp do. My personal acquaintanceship with him has led me to believe that if elected he will undertake -the large task to which he has pledged himself and will accomplish it. will be no child's play. It will be a man's work, and will not be consumated without some "of. the most stirring scene's that our legislative halls have known. _ " It is not so much the laws that the Southern Pacific wants that need attention. The governor who undertakes to curb .the activities of the Southern Pacific's political bureau will have his- real troubles when he reaches into the statute books, and cuts from them t^ie laws that the Southern Pacific by its. political machinations has placed there, and which remain like a cankerous growth on the' state's progress.' I know something of the accusations .made against candidates. I know something of the eleventh hour statements and I' know how everything is said and done to make the anti-railroad candidate in this battle look' like all that is bad. Butthc people can well afford to pay no attention to the sources from which these things come, because in every campaign this source has always been found doing the very/ same thing. I feel confident that California is sure in Hiram Johnson of an honest governor. . • 5 LOVELAND'S GOOD WORK APPROVED Seth Mann and Attorney Oen« eral Webb Tell What Railroad Commissioner Has Done If the California public needed addi tional proof of the loyal and valuable services rendered by Railroad Commis sioner Harvey D. Ivsveland it could not go to two better sources than^ Seth Mann, recognized the nation over as the shippers' champion', and Attorney Gen eral Webb, whose services for the peo ple won him the distinctive honor of the Herrin machine's opposition in the primary campaign. The administration rate bill present ed to the last legislature was prepared under the direction of Attorney General Webb. On behalf of the state he asso ciated himself with Railroad Commis sioner Loveland "and Seth Mann in the preparation of the measure, which was fought bitterly by the railroad political machine. Recent "correspondence be tween Attorney General Webb and Seth Mann touching the worth and services of Commissioner Loveland furnishes conclusive evidence for the imperative necessity of ' Loveland's return to the commission that has' been made an ac tive and effective adjunct of govern ment by him. . In a letter addressed to Attorney Gen eral Webb and dated November 4 Seth Mann said: "I am familiar with much of the work that has been accomplished by the pres ent railroad commission of the state of California, and I do "riot hesitate to say that this work has been largely initiated and carried out- through the efforts of Colonel Loveland. Immediately upon the appointment of Colonel Loveland the state railroad eomfnission assumed an active participation in the traffic af fafrs it is organized to govern. Colonel Loveland determined to make of his of fice no sinecure, but to make it fulfill as far as possible the duties and obliga tions laid upon it by law. > *, * T think you will agree with me that Colonel Loveland has brought the rail j-oad commission of the state of Califor nia into a prominence in public affairs which for 10 years or more prior to his appointment it never occupied. I am an earnest advocate"" of the election of Colonel Loveland." Referring to the work done by Colonel Loveland. Attorney General Webb /in his letter to Mann said that J^oveland was the first member 6f the state rail road commission to co-operate with the attorney general's office, that the suc reesful prosecution of cases against the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe were made possible by, Loveland and^that it was largely due to Loveland's efforts that a general public interest in . the fight for adequate railroad legislation I was aroused and crystallized. Webb wrote: "After Colonel Loveland was appoint ed as a member of the railroad commis sion for- the first time in many years this office was visited by a member of that commission for the purpose of as certaining, what could be done by the commission In behalf of the shippers of this state. That member was Colonel j Loveland. Since ColoneliLdveland's ap- | polntment not a week, has passed that j he Jias not advised with this office with j respect 'to,.the v dutieß. and work of his commission. Until March;<l9o9,' by rea son of the fact 'that there-was no rail road regulation law InV this, state, '-it Beemed that little could be done, and yet every" exertion was made by Colonel' Loveland 'to 'bring, about many 'better-., ments in' conditions that there. .existed and to render such services to^he ship pers'of the t state as was possiblel. Dur ing this time the commission investi gated and tried the cases against the Southern Pacific company, the Santa Fe company and the Los » Angeles, San Pedro and Salt iLakV dompany;* upon 'charges of discrimination, in- rates, and rendered .tlielr,' judgment in those cases. Imposing; in "on«S instance a fine of $5,000.

REED QUESTIONS THE INDIANA "?" "Did You Beat Your Wife ?" and "Were You Arrested for Kiss ing a Girl on Street?" h CHARLES WESLEY REED Before the late Senator Dolliver died he said that flamboyant oratory was no longer tolerated because the Ameri can people now demanded siniplicity and sincerity in the handling of pub lic questions, and the speaker who could patiently, fairly and truthfully analyze political subjects was the man who could hold his audience and influ ence voters in a campaign. — \ On the eve of election day we have developed a campaign in California so slanderously vicious that ;>Rabbi Nieto truthfully said last Saturdaybefore the CommonwealtJvclub that If he_ were to take the estimates, of the rival candi dates, for governor furnished by. them selves ,Tio should.: conclude .that both were totally unworthy. . :" And we have in San Francisco an Im ported professor of languages from In diana \flkillfully; I waviijg .• sHoft the mighty Interrogation^ point in an intel lectual cahc^an of questionable sincer ity. \u25a0 We are taking ourselves too seri ously arid especially taking Frank E. Hering too- seriously. . : Observe the mechanism of his ques tione. First, the statement is .made that Hiram W. Johnson "sat silently by" when William lloff Cook asked that J. Dalzell Brown be sentenced to IS months on' a promise that he would griveNinformation leading to the .return of ?1.000,000 (o the depositors of the California safe deposit and trust com pany. (Cook never made the promise, but thai is only another story.) Next Mr. Johnson "has pledged the court," "forgot his promise," "had been a party to the pledge." Speech Is silver^ but silence is golden." Here, however, silence is speech — nothing 1 less than "aypledge to the court." With silence-as the basis of all .these pledges and broken promises, Mr. Her ing then asks a multitude of ques tions about Western Pacific stock, money had from the United* Railroads and what not. that become in the edi torial columns of one of the newspa pers an "astounding indictment." May I not ask a question _of. Frank E. Hering, professor of questions, not really /wishing for an answer, but only desiring to show the viciousness of his system and possibly raise d laugh at hi.s expense? '".\u25a0": \u25a0 "Frank E. Hering, do you not beat jour wife?" Toirmay not'have a wife, but such, an insignificant detail: is of no consequence. If -you, refuse to answer my. question 1 will say. that _ silence gives consent (you . can _turn silence Into a "pledge," "promise," etc.) and that you admit that i you beat your wife. .Thereafter I will refer to you as an admitted wife beater who de serves the whipping post.. I repeat, therefore, "Are you I not a. most noto rious wife beater? .Dare you refuse to answer: this plain question?"* . It iyou .t'akeTmy ; dare^nd. caJl m% an Impertinent busybody and a retailer of lies and' slander I will reply,- "Shake not thy gory locks at me."> -I only asked a question. I never -charged you with being a wife. beater. •\u0084;.\u25a0 - Or to Illustrate in another 'way the essential cdwardliness of Mr. -Heringr's questions of <Mr.'f Johnson I will, ask Frank E. Hering, professor of ques tions, 'of : Indiana; : ;the. following: "Were you not arrested'on July. 6,1909, by the chief ; of , police of /Jndianapolls for kissing a girl "on the street, . and ,were you not * released from" custody only , after promiping never to-" do it again ?" .

CROWLEY'S VIEWS INDIA BASIN IS NEEDED .Editor, Call: The voters of, Cal ifornia are* vitally interestedin the three harbor bond propositions to be voted "on* tomorrow. ' These thre.e bond; issues include the San Fran cjsco- harbor, .improvement act.; the India basin act. and* the San Diego seawall act..-: If "these, issues receive \u25a0a majority "ot. the. votes throughout the state it means. an expenditure of $11,500,000 in this state. Although..* this great amount of money., will be "distributed'; largely among; the workingmen of the state, the people of California- are not called , upon jto contribute a single dollar .in direct taxation to pay either the Interest or the principal on these 1 bondsT?" .. . " The revenues : of. the -.California harbors are steadily increasing and therefore able ! to | meet the interest any pay the principal of these bonds before their- expiration. The entire principal and; interest, under the terms, of the acts, will be paid out of the "regular state harbor revenues. Therefore,' it Is to the interest of the entire state, and especially to the laboring classes, to favor the passage ;of these; bonds. ; Important among, these issues is the. acquisition by the state of the lands ; adjacent to- the India basin and the Islals creek channel.. /The development of an Inland harbor there will add from five to seven miles of wharfage room to the pres ent facilities , of the port of San Francisco. v • | According to the best authority, there are times even now when the wharf room of our .city Is inade quate to accommodate the commerce of our harbor. Tlfat being po at the present time, how much more need will there be for such facilities after the completion of the Panama canal? On this account we need the India basin. and the Islais creek lands for an inland harbor and the state should not lose this opportunity of acquiring it. . ' ; . All the natural basins of the city have been filled up at great cost to the harbor, except the India basin and the lands adjoining: it. Sad and costly experience ought to teach us better than to fill up the only site for an inland harbor -which remains on our water front. It is better to have in that locality good, clean and deep water for ship ping purposes. than poor and shaky land.

According to John T. Flynn, harbor engineer of, San Diego, Imperial and San Diego counties will give 1 9,000 votes in favor of the issue out of a total of 20,000' votes cast. All of the reports were greeted with cheers. I.OS AXGEI.ES IX liI.XE 7 Q 'George L.

I beg tp suggest that the land values there will not justify the promised improvements. There are about 50 feet of mud and water over the [ solid ground throughout the 63 blocks. "If filled in it would, be" very, unstable land on which to locate heavy buildings for factory purposes, especially In an earthquake zone. Besides. ; such action would be reversing the prac tice and policy of all modern marl time cities. London. Liverpool and Antwerp are digging inland harbors out of solid land. Why should we fill up good water to make bad land? Especially when the commerce of San Francisco, on the completion of the- Panama canal, will demand every bit of space .along our water front. The lumber clique promises a large expenditure of money and a great deal of employment in the improvement of these lands. The expenditure of ten millions of dol lars for <the Improvement of our harbor front Is more than this little cabal could muster up to pay out in wages for the next 50 years. If we need the Panama-Pacific exposition, we need the Islals creek inland harbor. \By voting for this and the other harbor bond issues, we shall demonstrate to the country at large that we know what we want and are united on every issue which involves the ; betterment, and prosperity of our state. "This fiFpull together" spirit will convince the senators and congress men at" Washington that we are a unit on every important proposition and worthy of their, support In our efforts to bring the exposition to our state, in :i915. Every vote cast for the India basin act tomorrow is a vote, in the direction of develop ment and progress. D. O. CROWLEY. Nov. 6, 1910. covered by workers in the- interests of the India basin act. JIISSTATEMENTS CIRCULATED " " The. opponents of the act, driven .to desperate resources, have -opened .a iire: of literature and .untruths. Tons of literature have been sent out under the name of the Ship Owners" associa tion for distribution In the smaller cities. San Diegxf was flooded with this literature Saturday. Los Angeles almost simultaneously was covered with placards making the false an nouncement that the passage of the India basin "act would thrust a burden of extra taxation upon the farmers, small merchants and wagrfe earners. The proponents of. the act are utilizing? every means of counteracting: the ef-. feet of these untruths. In: San Francisco, in addition to the old custom of distributing placards and pamphlets, the .ship, owners yesterday hired numerous wagons and sent them about' the (*ity bearing: signs adver tising against the bonds and asserting that the improvement clubs of the city had declared against the act. These statements were proved false at the meeting yesterday, at which it was. shown that almost every improvement club in the city had indorsed the India basin act bond issue. VJfr tcukx.

Johnson's concise, di rect statement is his answer. The United Railroads' voucher cheeK which Hering flourished vith an air of triumph Saturday night was a re ceipt for the payment to Johnson Feb ruary 7. 1907. of $1,500 in full of serv ices rendered to that date. Those serv ices, as shown by* Johnson and as not denied even by his detractors, were services as an attorney rendered dur ing the year 130«. when Johnson was employed by the United Railroads in several of its cases having nothing in the world to do with the graft prosecu tions. It was. the only amount ever paid by the United Kallroada to John son in any capacity. On March 19.M907. more than a month after this belated payment had been made to \ Johnson for his serv ices, the Schmitz-Jtuef supervisors made their first confessions of the ac ceptance of bribes. .Then for the first time th* United Railroads and Patrick Calhoun became the objects of accu sation in connection with the graft cases. ' The first indictments ajrain-«t Patrick Calhoun were, not returned un til May 20, 1907. more than three monthsafter Johnson's connection with the company as an attorney had. been finally severed and several months after his work as an attorney had been accomplished. several times after he was patd in full on February 7. l»07. fnr^hfs former services as an' attorney for th« com pany was offered employment by the United Railroads in other cases, but he repeatedly declined to take such employment. Such are th» facts concerning th<* voucher cherk which Hering flourished as "proof of Johnsorr's_ perfidy." The check has proved only the on* thing, and that is th* undfmiaWe connection existing In this cajnpaign between Theodore A. BelJ. the democratic nom inee for governor, his frtendai and th* United Rai>roads and other special in terests which hays» <Jeft>auehed. and pol luted the government of Callfornts. The check which Hering presented Saturday night earn** from the flies of the United Railroads. It wa. refurnished to assist in bringing about the election of Theodore Bell and the defeat of Hiram W. Johnson. It is the link that shows the connection between Bell and Calhoun. It in no wise reflects upon the character or integrity of Hiram "W.
