A REVOLUTION IN POLITICS "Our Government Has been Handed over Like a Chattel from a Pawnshop to Men Who Live In New York City" CHARLES S. WHEELER. The central and northern counties of the state are ablaze with mighty political meetings, addressed by anti-machine orators, who are rousing the people to a pitch of political fervor never before known in the history of the state. These speakers include Mayor Davis of Oakland, Chester Rowell of Fresno, former Gov. Pardee, Senator Belshaw, Assemblyman Drew, Charles S. Wheeler and others. Meetings were held at a score of towns and cities last week, and will continue until the primary election. Mass meetings will be held in San Francisco, where Heney, Pardee, Powell and others will address the people. Herrin was badly defeated in the San Francisco primaries last year by Daniel A. Ryan, and it looks like he will be swamped under next month. A private letter from the bay states Harriman is displeased with Herrin, and will recall him after election. It is added that Herrin would be withdrawn from California politics already, but for the injurious effect of such action upon the push. But if Herrin goes, another boss will appear in his place, and it will be up to the republicans of the state to smash him. The northerners are carrying on a great war against Herrinism. inate our state government in ner little above that emp Mexico?

But if Herrin goes, another boss will appear in his place, and it will be up to the republicans of the state to smash him. The northerners are carrying on a great war against Herrinism. At one of the largest meetings held in the north last week, Charles S. Wheeler, an eloquent San Francisco attorney, spoke as follows upon the political situation: I want to talk to you of principles. It is principle that is moving us. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and let me remind you that it is the doctrine of monarchies that kings have within themselves all power—power to make, enforce and interpret the laws. But when we have had 2000 years and more of this belief, we have come to know that the power of government is delegated to no one man, but to the people. Our forefathers established that principle when they drew up that contract, the American Constitution. They have handed it down to us, and it is for us to hand it down to our children with the seal of our forefather's blood upon it yet unbroken. How well have we kept the contract? How well have we preserved intact those liberties for which our forefathers fought round Valley Forge? What has become of our prerogatives? How long will you continue to sleep, and, sleeping, allow the subversion of your rights? Do you know that the government under which you live—that government of eternal liberty—has been dealt out like a chattel from a pawnshop to a set of men in an office in a foreign state? Do you know that a wire from New York tells you who your governor is to be, tells you who is to make you laws in your legislatures, tells you who will represent you in congress? You, a sovereign people, have slept and allowed this thing because you have not realized the shame or seen at work that hand which will snatch from you those rights of American citizenship delegated to you in the Prolonged cheers evidenced good seed had been sown in ground at Melrose, and as they died down, Chairman Holmupon E.

I believe that the citizens will throw off that which has bound them sleeping America will come forth to the fetters forever and again sublime citizenship. The time has come for the this district to rise in their time to warn the Southern that we will no longer tolerate interference in our state national life.

Chester H. Rowell of Freemaking an active part in organizing the republicans onnia in opposition to the S. P. in an interview published in ramento Bee, said: It is a strange reform move can win its first battle, but to be the case with the Lincoln-velt league. In fact, the first already won when Sacramen Clinton L. White mayor big battle is at the primaries the state on May 5th. The ries will choose delegates to ramento convention, and tha tion will select not merely do the Chicago convention, but executive committee of the party of California. If these forces control that convention now looks certain, the rail will be deprived of its last pretext—the slogan "regula can organization."

"Across the border in Mexico is a man who rules with absolute power. He is a good man. He appoints governors, he names legislatures, he puts good men on judicial benches, he interprets and enforces the laws. His government is republican in form. His subjects make no complaint. He does what he does in the open, with their consent to his subversion of their liberties. A subversion which, did you know it to be progressing in this country, would arouse your holy horror. His people are peons, little above slavery.

More About "Revision" The Chronicle is in receipt of many communications referring to our editorial of some time ago in which we gave a partial list of the important products of this state, with the rate of duty now levied on competing products and inquired as to which of these products our people desired any less protection. Our congressional delegation considers that the editorial was very timely and calculated to set the Californians who can think to thinking. It is, indeed, a serious matter for us. We may say, and many will say, that a demand for "revision" may as easily mean revising up as revising down, but a man is a fool who imagines that revising up is what is meant by those who are really working for revision. They mean revising down every time. And they do not mean any slight adjustment, but a real cut, sufficient to and intended to displace our own by foreign commodities to a very large degree. There is, in fact, no other reason for revision. If we do not desire to produce less and import more, there is no reason for touching the tariff at all. Nobody would have any interest in lowering any duty except for the purpose of displacing American for foreign products. Of course, that is not what they will say. What they will say is that what they want is to reduce the price of American products by fear of competition. It is not so. There are but three lines of interest which care enough about revision to make any fuss about it. One line is the importing interest which established foreign connections, which prefers to buy and sell foreign goods because possible profits are greater. Another interest is the deep-sea shipping—virtually all under foreign flags—which desires heavier freight lists coming this way. Finally, there are certain lines of manufacture whose owners desire more foreign outlets to be purchased for them by the removal of protection from interests other than... the beginning of the corporate control of this state is I believe that the American will throw off that lethargy bound them sleeping so long. It will come forth to strike off forever and again exert its citizenship. He has come for the people of what to rise in their might.

In this state and this counciled in disfranchising us among primaries. The master it serves—the Pacific, greedy, grasping for have become a stench in the nation. The Southern and its ring knows neither honesty, and the time has thrown off its power.

A growing sentiment here Americanism as advocated by Colin-Roosevelt republican and we intend to see to it that the next legislature will walk representing us and not the Pacific or any other domination or ring. H. Rowell of Fresno who is an active part in the work of the republicans of California position to the S. P. machine, review published in the Sacramento Bee, said: Strange reform movement that its first battle, but this seems case with the Lincoln Roosevelt. In fact, the first fight was on when Sacramento elected L. White mayor. The first is at the primaries all over on May 5th. These primaechoose delegates to the Sac-convention, and that convened not merely delegates to a major convention, but a new committee of the republican in California. If the reform control that convention, which is certain, the railroad push reprived of its last plausible slogan "regular republicization." the importing interest which established foreign connections, which prefers to buy and sell foreign goods because possible profits are greater. Another interest is the deep-sea shipping—virtually all under foreign flags—which desires heavier freight lists coming this way. Finally, there are certain lines of manufacture whose owners desire more foreign outlets to be purchased for them by the removal of protection from interests other than their own. These are the fellows who shout for "reciprocity." The first two classes want free trade pure and simple, but, of course, do not expect to get quite that. Except these classes there are none who particularly desire any change in the tariff except that there are some who would like more protection. Political campaigns, however, are conducted on the theory that most men are fools who do not know when they are well off. Interested parties devise some "slogan," spend money enough on it to make it "popular," get a political party to "adopt" it, and then work to get back their investment by fiscal changes calculated to put money in their pockets. It is as cold-blooded a business proposition as exploiting a brand of soap—only the promoters never tell what they are really after. If you read in a newspaper, "Use huckleberry soap," you understand at once that you are urged to buy huckleberry soap; but when one "hurrahs for tariff revision," who knows what he is praying for? We can tell Californians what they will pray for if they shout for tariff revision. They are asking for greatly reduced duties on oranges, lemons, prunes, raisins, wine, grain, hops, lumber and, in fact, on about everything which we produce to sell. And that is precisely what we shall get. If experience teaches anything on earth it is that in the construction of a tariff the section with fewest votes in congress gets the least consideration from congress. We know that in such fake reciprocity arrangements as the President is authorized to make it is California which buys the market for the other fellows every time. In fact the only products which the law authorizes the President to trade off are California products. And they will be among the first products upon which the "revisers" will make an assault. L.

If the reform control that convention, which is certain, the railroad push reprived of its last plausible slogan "regular republi-ization." Organization work throughout the progressing rapidly. San Diego is all organized, and there is Lincoln-Roosevelt republican every assembly district in San Diego hard at work to get out the elect high-grade independent delegates to the republican convention. In many of these there is also a Herrinite ma-b, avowedly for Herrin and by Ruef and his followers. Great advantage, as it makes definite, and on that issue the vote with us. Everybody expects him in San Francisco, including both parties. The registrar the largest ever known in Francisco and indicates a full vote. Five hundred and forty-six delegates to the republican national convention to be held in Chicago June 16 have been chosen—a little over one-half of the membership of the convention which was fixed in the national committee's call at 980. Of those 546 so far named, 256 delegates are either instructed for Taft, committed to his support by resolutions of indorsement or preference, or have publicly announced in connection with their election their intention to vote for him at Chicago. Only this past week twenty Taft delegates were elected in Minnesota, giving Mr. Taft the solid delegation from that state, and in Massachusetts ten Taft delegates were elected. Hot Stove—Cool Kitchen How do you expect to endure the broiling days of summer if you prepare all the food over a glowing coal fire?

Therefore, when working with the NEW PERFECTION Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove the kitchen actually seems as comfortable as you could wish it to be.
