WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS Machine In California is Riding to a Fall—This Supervisor District In County Convention—Put None But Good Men on Guard—Two Delegates from Orange Co, Would Give Estudillo Nomination It's a wise machine which keeps its eye upon the political calendar. If the present rebellion in the ranks of the republican party against railroad domination existed two years ago, it would have meant the defeat of the entire ticket placed in nomination by the Santa Cruz convention! California gave Roosevelt 125,000 majority four years ago, and will give Taft 150,000 majority this year. Gillett pulled through with a scant 8000 plurality, and had it not been for Langdon, Gillett would have been defeated by 35,000 voters. Here is a difference in two years, as compared with the vote given Roosevelt, of 160,000 votes. It would seem the railroad push would give itself pause. It is riding roughshod over the liberties of the people to a fall. The statement is freely heard that Harriman paid Hearst $100,000 to defeat Bell. But this spirit of rebellion to the corrupt political machine will continue, and if loyal republicans do not control the state convention in July, they assuredly will in the next state campaign two years hence. The machine may try the patience of loyal men in the party for a time, dealing in politics. Third gates to the county convention week will suffice. Will the sentatives of the Estudillo this county succeed in getting Let loyal republicans be guard in each precinct. Lest a personal pledge from man offering himself as a candidate for delegate to the county convention, including Walker and son, to stand for the right people, as well as against croachments of the railroad. Do not so pledge themselves them, and nip their political in the bud. Superior Judge Z. B. Wynnounces himself as a candidate renomination, subject to the of the republican county commission May 7th. So far no opposition Judge West's nomination has in the ranks of the republican and none is expected. He has the office since January, 1914, much credit to himself. He been a fair, capable judge, or put bias out of his mind and all litigants alike. Judge West began practice in Santa Ana in July, 1883 served Santa Ana as city attorney for seven years and was district attorney two years, completing term of Judge Ballard, who wiled the bench. In 1902 he was judge of the superior courtange county, to which positive asks reelection. From the moment Judge went upon the bench until the sent hour he has treated foe alike. He has been fair fall. The statement is freely heard that Harriman paid Hearst $100,000 to defeat Bell. But this spirit of rebellion to the corrupt political machine will continue, and if loyal republicans do not control the state convention in July, they assuredly will in the next state campaign two years hence. The machine may try the patience of loyal men in the party for a time, but the hands of the political clock point to the elimination of Herrinism in near future from California politics. Its roughshod manner of selecting delegates to the Chicago convention who would never be chosen by a clean and untrammeled convention may be consummated at Sacramento (and it may not); for loyal men of the party know full well that no power on earth can defeat the nomination of Taft by the national convention. Nevertheless it were better with loyal men in control. But, in a state campaign, this raw work would cost the party its ticket at the polls. However, there may be a political earthquake in this state in the next sixty days. Only two delegates from Orange county, thrown to Estudillo in the senatorial district convention, will give him the nomination. That is what S. O. Walker, personal representative and paid employee of the Southern Pacific push, has been given orders to do; Walker is himself a candidate for delegate to the state convention, so it is reported, but will probably have two candidates for the senatorial convention selected in due time. If this person can land these two delegates, it will be all off with the decent republicans of Orange county who are opposing Estudillo. Here is the way the precincts in this supervisor district line up with their delegates at the county convention on May 5th: Anaheim.....13 Buena Park.....9 Fullerton.....13 La Habra.....3 Olinda.....6 The denials made by the side Enterprise in behalf of blyman Estudillo, in regard to pledges to support an anti-man for speaker and a subs deal to fall in line for the r candidate are, according Press of that city, lacking in iteness. This is an important ter and Mr. Estudillo's constituents deeply interested in knowing exact truth. Now this is what would like to have him explain finitely and without equivocal Did he attend a conference of machine members of the asses in Los Angeles at the office semblyman P. A. Stanton o afternoon or evening follow meeting of the Southern Cal members of the legislature city and did he at that m agree to give his support to a railroad man for speaker? can land these two delegates, it will be all off with the decent republicans of Orange county who are opposing Estudillo. Here is the way the precincts in this supervisor district line up with their delegates at the county convention on May 5th: Anaheim...13 Buena Park...9 Fullerton...13 La Habra...3 Olinda...6 Orangethorpe...3 Placentia...5 West Anaheim...7 Total...59 Thirty delegates out of this list supporting Estudillo men would give that worthy the nomination for state senator. Let republicans of these precincts, as well as of all other precincts in the county, men who are republicans for principle's sake, and not for the filthy lucre of a railroad corporation, see to it that clean men are elected as delegates to the convention. The machine has doubtless its candidates selected in every supervisor district in the county, and an effort will undoubtedly be made to elect some of these men. We have faith in the honor of the republicans of Orange county, and we have no doubt the convention will be overwhelmingly anti-railroad. But let republicans be on guard lest the machine sneak in a delegate here and there. Two such out of the thirteen to which Orange county is entitled would turn the trick against decency and honorable Did he attend a conference of machine members of the asses in Los Angeles at the office semblyman P. A. Stanton or afternoon or evening follow meeting of the Southern Cal members of the legislature city and did he at that m agree to give his support to a railroad man for speaker? And did he on the following confer with Walter Parker agree with him to support the road candidate for speaker? If he did attend the meet Stanton’s office and did agree to support an anti-machine man speaker why did he vote for Blee, who was known to be the road “push” candidate? The “machine” has gone up a new obstacle to its program delegates at large to the Convention. Gen. H. G. Otis Los Angeles Times, was slate one of the recipients of that but his candidacy has stirred hornet’s nest. For several weeks past pet have been in circulation among labor unions of the state in signatures to a protest to the rican state convention against election of General Otis as a n al delegate. Some of the bodies have been adopting re In politics. Thirty delegates in the county convention next week suffice. Will the representation of the Estudillo push in any succeed in getting them? The republicans be on their beach precinct. Let them personal pledge from every being himself as a candidate state to the county convending Walker and Morrison and for the rights of the well as against the entants of the railroad. If they knowledge themselves, defeat himp their political trickery. Judge Z. B. West annself as a candidate for election, subject to the action publican county convention. So far no opposition to his nomination has arisen of the republican party, is expected. He has filled since January, 1903, with dit to himself. He has a capable judge, one who is of his mind and treated alike. West began practicing law Ana in July, 1888. Heitta Ana as city attorney years and was district at two years, completing the Judge Ballard, who went on trial. In 1902 he was elected the superior court of Orry, to which position he resigned. The moment Judge West the bench until the prece has treated friend and He has been fair and im- tions to the same effect. The following is a copy of the resolution that the unions have been adopting: "Whereas, Harrison Gray Otis editor and proprietor of the Los Angeles Times, is aspiring to the honor of representing the republican party of the state of California in the coming national convention as delegate at large, and Whereas, The said Harrison Gray Otis is an avowed enemy of the working people of the Pacific coast and does not represent the sentiments of those having at heart the best interests of the state of Californiia; therefore, be it Resolved, That we protest against the election of the said Harrison Gray Otis as a delegate at large to the republican national convention." The nomination of Gen. Otis is doubtless a part of the deep-laid scheme of the machine to discredit Taft with the workingmen. It occurs to us again, that, in a state campaign, similar prominence given Otis by the machine would cost it every mother's son of its candidates on the ticket. We wonder if Taft, could he name the four delegates at large from California, would name Otis, De Young, Knight and Gillett? But maybe these railroad gentlemen will not be selected after all. The Riverside Enterprise, which is edited by a democrat, but claims to be a republican, and which wears a railroad collar several sizes too big for Gen. Stone, speaks thus naively concerning Riverside's right to name the state senator: But maybe these railroad gentlemen will not be selected after all. The Riverside Enterprise, which is edited by a democrat, but claims to be a republican, and which wears a railroad collar several sizes too big for Gen. Stone, speaks thus naively concerning Riverside's right to name the state senator: "The people of this county will not be willing to allow the republicans of Orange county to step in here and say who shall represent our people. The Orange county republicans must take the man named by the republicans of this county, or they must leave him. We shall insist upon the right to choose our own nominee." Deacon Clarke hits the matter off adequately in the Press as follows: It will be news to the republicans of Orange county to learn on this eminent authority that they are to have no voice in the selection of the candidate for senator from this district. Whoever is elected will represent both counties, one as much as the other, and it has been customary in the past for both counties to take part in the nominating convention. In fact, the call this year applies to Orange county as well as to Riverside and gives that county thirteen delegates to our ten. It would appear, therefore, that Orange may be quite a factor in the situation. The "rule or ruin" policy enunciated by the Estudillo organ will not add to his popularity in Orange county; and the delegates from there may decide to adopt one part of the Enterprise suggestion and "leave him." Competitive Shoot Lieutenants Kellenberger and Selinger of Company E participated in the competitive shoot between officers of the battleship fleet and officers of the national guard at the state range at Los Angeles on Friday. The naval team were easy winners. Each side was composed of twelve marksmen. The first range shot was the 200-yard range, slow fire, off hand. Score: Navy 501, N.G.C. 460.

Orange Solid Againat Estudillo From the Riverside Press An attempt has been made to create the impression that the opposition to Estudillo in Orange county is confined to the city of Santa Ana and that the northern part of the county is friendly to him. That seems to be a mistake, however, for the Anaheim Gazette, the only republican paper in that section and a strong exponent of public sentiment there, goes even further than the republican papers of Santa Ana and predicts that if Estudillo should be nominated he will be defeated in that county by a thousand votes.
