Editorial Note and Comment
PAPA CUSHMAN has taken some of the candidates on the Republican ticket across his knee and administered a sound spanking to them. You cannot tell me that Papa Cushman is not the most alert chairman the party has ever had for its county committee since the organization of this province.
This is how the castigation came about: Four years ago, with a good working majority of three hundred votes in the county, the party elected three or four of its candidates by majorities of eight, nine or ten hundred, and lost two or three of the most important places on the ticket by about one hundred votes. How did that come about? By trades. Trades have been the means of splitting parties wide open before now, and four years ago they played smash with the party's bacon in several instances.
This year, while the party is claimed by those politically wise to be five or six hundred to the good—when every man on the ticket ought to feel that he has better than an even show over his political opponent—reports have sprung up to the effect that one or two candidates have secretly attempted to spring the same old game. In a word, in order to make sure of their own success, they have offered to trade off party associates on the ticket. I hope for the honor of the county seat this state of things, if it actually exists, will be effectually and county vote, as compared with that of the county seat, might try their hand at retaliation. But let us have none of it.
I understand that a certain newspaper has assured Cushman of its enthusiastic support of his purpose to wipe out this stain upon the party, and has offered its services to expose the first man found guilty of attempting to negotiate a trade.
So let us all say, More power to Papa Cushman's elbow.
I am told that Oil Magnate Murphy is blowing himself to elect Linebarger for supervisor, the tip having gone out that if the Democratic candidate should be elected roads in Brea canyon will have the fat end of appropriations for improving them. Now, it seems to me roads in Brea canyon should be taken care of to the same extent as others in the county, the one determining factor being the greatest good to the greatest number. Neither Linebarger nor any other man can promise to jump any sum of road money in Brea canyon, or anywhere else, to the detriment of public thoroughfares in other portions of the district.
Moreover, any effort to place road funds in one part of the district irrespective of the rights of others, would be resisted not only by residents of the latter places, but by the board of supervisors as well, who would see to it right speedily that no shenanegan was practiced upon the people.
Roads in this district are incomparably superior to what they were even four years ago, and there is
JEROME COPPER MINE ON
It Has Been Raging for Two Months Threatens Great Damage to the Property—Miners Laid Off.
Gus Strodthoff came in from Junction Thursday and departed on Mine for La Cananea, Sonora, where he had to take a position with the copper pany at that point. He has seen his connection with Senator O'Mining interests at Jerome, after ing in his employ some four years.
He states the mine at Jerome closed down, owing to the existence of a fire in one of the lower levels, ing 3000 men out of employment fire has lasted two months or so although men have been fired it continuously day and night since it has been impossible to guish it. Gas is forced into the in an effort to put out the flame so far unsuccessfully. The fire posed to have been started by one's throwing a lighted cigar the shaft. This ignited the tail and in order to suffocate the flamshaft and all openings leading to it to be closed and bulkheaded.
Should the flames communicate the ore it would be difficult to guish them. As it is, there is no ascertaining whether the flame already spread to the ore, but it have the loss will be far-reaching serious.
Men are kept engaged in the facture of gas in the adjoining mine and pumping it into the ing shaft. It is a difficult and dous process and entails no little penditure.
The copper mine at Jerome large as the town of Anaheim, and liions upon millions of feet of ore are in use in it. The ground is combed underneath the surface timbers and floorings are installed feet apart down to the lower foot level. Should the fire, w
be five or six hundred to the good—when every man on the ticket ought to feel that he has better than an even show over his political opponent—reports have sprung up to the effect that one or two candidates have secretly attempted to spring the same old game. In a word, in order to make sure of their own success, they have offered to trade off party associates on the ticket. I hope for the honor of the county-seat this state of things, if it actually exists, will be effectually and religiously stamped out. Time will tell. The votes in November will reveal whether or not this traitorous spirit obtains among the candidates—it is the most abhorrent thing I ever heard of in politics. But if our friends at the county-seat shall be proven guilty of this unholy and indecent thing, woe be unto them! For there is going to be a hereafter, politically speaking, and in this world, and scores will be evened up to the queen's taste. And then there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of molars to beat the band.
Now, what has Papa Cushman done to these bad boys? He has been made aware of this disposition to trade and has written a stinging communication to all the candidates, ignoring none, setting forth what has come to the ears of the chairman of the county committee, saying this thing has occurred before, to the verge of the undoing of the party, and adding that if any candidate shall be caught at the game he will be promptly exposed and may hope for no further assistance from the committee! Ever hear of such a thing! Why, Papa will give us all the shivers if he continues in his bold, bad way!
As a matter of fact I hear the letter has imparted premonitory symptoms of shivers with one or two candidates already, with other provinces to hear from. More power to Cushman's elbow.
Now, why should a candidate upon the ticket of a party having 500 majority in a total of 5000 votes stoop to trading with one of the opposing party's candidates anyhow? What good can he possibly expect to do for himself thereby, except possibly to increase his majority one, two, three, four or five hundred votes? And he lays himself open—while he may receive encomiums from the unthinking for his great popularity—to the contempt and abhorrence of the men who have gone through the campaign side by side with him. And his name will be Dennis in the end forever after.
Of course it is not the right of the detriment of public through fares in other portions of the district.
Moreover, any effort to place road funds in one part of the district irrespective of the rights of others, would be resisted not only by residents of the latter places, but by the board of supervisors as well, who would see to it right speedily that no shenanegan was practiced upon the people.
Roads in this district are incompetently superior to what they were even four years ago, and there is simply no comparison between them as they are now and as they were eight years ago. While it is possible to find here and there a bad stretch of thoroughfare, and while a bridge here and there may be necessary, still the fact remains that we have better roads in this district and county than in any part of California, bar none. These public thoroughfares must be continued, and Mr. Hale, the Republican candidate, stands pledged to maintain them up to their present high standard, irrespective of locality.
Brea canyon need have no fear that Hale will do less for roads there than his Democratie opponent. Hale will in fact be able to do more for the canyon roads because he will be a member of the party which in all probability will be dominant upon the board of supervisors, and as such will be able to secure more favors for this district than one of the opposite political faith.
Hale will treat all sections of his district alike—Brea canyon and Buena Park, Olinda, Fullerton and all other sections.
Linebarger claims the vote of the oil wells solid, Republicans and Democrats. While I do not take much stock in these pre-election claims, I strongly advise the young Republicans in that precinct to stay with their party, supervisor and all. A number of these young Republicans have been named by Linebarger's friends as for him, but I refuse to believe it. Some of the strongest and best young Republican voters I ever met are these oil men, and the party throughout the county will have its eyes upon them election day. Boys, stay with your party. You wouldn't give a snap of your finger for a man who blows hot and blows cold on politics, would you? No, you wouldn't. Stay with your party, boys. It may have something in store for you one of these days. And then we'll rally round the oil wells and make the welkin ring for the best lot of youngsters there is out doors. Stay with your party. Democrats will have all the more re-

party's candidates anyhow? What good can he possibly expect to do for himself thereby, except possibly to increase his majority one, two, three, four or five hundred votes?
And he lays himself open—while he may receive encomiums from the unthinking for his great popularity—to the contempt and abhorrence of the men who have gone through the campaign side by side with him. And his name will be Dennis in the end forever after.
Of course it is not the right of the county committee to abridge the purpose of a candidate to get as many votes as he can from the opposing party—let him get all he can. The county committee cannot infringe upon the right of a candidate to be popular among the voters—let him gather them all in if he can. But, when that is said, all is said. To get votes is one thing; to knife an associate, who is working and spending his money for you, is quite another.
And so I say, more power to Cushman's elbow in his effort to stamp out this practice. It used to be said a Santa Ana man would beat an Anaheim man every time, because the boys in the first-named place would trade the other fellow off. We've had a bit of a taste of this sort of thing in the past, and, my word for it, it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. We don't want any more of it. If this practice should continue—this thing of a Santa Ana man beating an outsider every time—we shall soon see the party in such stress that a first-class man from the outlying precincts will refuse to permit the use of his name upon the ticket. Weak and incompetent men will take advantage of this, to the party's inevitable harm.
Moreover, this trading proposition is a two-edged sword with which the outlying precincts, polling as they do by far the larger part of the party throughout the county will have its eyes upon them election day. Boys, stay with your party. You wouldn't give a snap of your finger for a man who blows hot and blows cold on politics, would you? No, you wouldn't. Stay with your party, boys. It may have something in store for you one of these days. And then we'll rally round the oil wells and make the welkin ring for the best lot of youngsters there is out doors. Stay with your party. Democrats will have all the more respect for you if you do.

HROME COPPER MINE ON FIRE
Has Been Raging for Two Months and Prevents Great Damage to the Property—Miners Laid Off.
Us Strodtthoff came in from Jerome Thursday and departed on Monday La Cananea, Sonora, where he goes take a position with the copper company at that point. He has severed connection with Senator Clark's mining interests at Jerome, after being his employ some four years.
He states the mine at Jerome has been down, owing to the existence of ore in one of the lower levels, throw-3000 men out of employment. The has lasted two months or more, although men have been fighting continuously day and night ever since it. Gas is forced into the shafts in effort to put out the flames, but care unsuccessfully. The fire is supposed to have been started by some fires throwing a lighted cigar down shaft. This ignited the timbers, in order to suffocate the flames the next and all openings leading to it had been closed and bulkheaded.
Should the flames communicate to ore it would be difficult to extinguish them. As it is, there is no means certainting whether the flames have already spread to the ore, but if they do the loss will be far-reaching and serious.
Ten are kept engaged in the manufacture of gas in the adjoining part of mine and pumping it into the burnshaft. It is a difficult and dangerous process and entails no little exertion.
The copper mine at Jerome is as near as the town of Anaheim, and millions upon millions of feet of timber can use in it. The ground is honey-baked underneath the surface, and pipes and floorings are installed six apart down to the lower, or 600-level. Should the fire, which is
When Senator Clark reaches Jerome on a miner's suit and descends to lower level of the mine, where the maize is at work. He remains below most of his stay, examining milly into all the details of the propulsion. Jerome have left Jerome by the hundreds until such time as the fire may extinguished. Thus will have charge of the books of new copper syndicate at La Canada, which mine promises to develop one of the largest copper deposits in the world.
SUDBURY SAYS HIS WIFE WAS CRUEL
States from San Francisco Offering a Lame Explanation of His Desertion of Family.
The family troubles of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bradbury of Smeltzer and Bradbury's subsequent desertion of his wife, as variously told by Mrs. Bradbury and friends of her husband in Orange county, have reached the ears of Bradbury, who, it develops, is now at San Francisco, and have brought from him an explanation of his desertion of his wife. His explanation is in the form of a letter which he has written friends with the request that it be made public in justice to himself. The latter, which concisely states Bradbury's position, is reproduced below:
"SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14th.
To Whom it May Concern—Having read the articles published by my wife and the local newspapers of Orange County, accusing different ones for being the cause of my leaving home so suddenly, I can say that the sole cause my leaving Smeltzer station was the cause I received at the hands of Lulu Bradbury. I never allowed any one to dictate to me what I should do. I wish to relieve my friends of the erroneous impression that my uncle anduntent, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Bradbury, had anything to do with my leaving, but they did not. There are but very few people who will believe what a man will say about his wife, so I won't trouble the public with my story, as it would be no credit to either of us. We are separated now, and I will never live with her again, but will support the children as long as I am on God's green earth. I have made two remittances to them in their mother's name, wish to state to the public that I will

There are now estimates putting the yield as high as one-half an ordinary crop, and they are expected to be of good quality.
