RECORD OF A RAILROAD MAN Dr. Ireland Seeks to Make Friends for Estudillo In Address at Presbyterian Church—Plain Story of His Dishonorable Record Dr. William Francis Ireland, a cultured gentleman representing an association having for its object the enactment of a Sunday-rest law in California, addressed a large audience at the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening. The doctor spoke at length in support of his theory of a proposed Sunday law, and later referred at some length to Miguel Estudillo of Riverside, an aspirant for the senatorship from this district, which embraces the counties of Orange and Riverside. Dr. Ireland favors Estudillo's nomination, and gives him a clean bill of health, politically speaking. He announces Estudillo is anti-railroad, and that his record in the last assembly proves this statement. Making the claim that Estudillo voted against race-track gambling, the anti-prize fight bill, the pure food law and the Cartwright bill, Dr. Ireland reasons this crucial test between the railroad and the railroad? If the man habit of having such importance when the interests of are at stake, in the hour of the he is a good enough man to home when the battle is on is fighting at the front. A further proof that Estudillo controlled by the railroad is lowing, which has already in these columns, and which from the Riverside Press, published in Estudillo's own Here is a story told on Miguel Estudillo that is vouched for by two Orange publicans, who were present when dent occurred and heard every During the last session of the legal tudillo voted aye on a bill that was only one franchise for a railroad Owens river country. Hardly have voted aye before a Southern Pacific rushed up to him and asked: "How did you vote?" "I voted yes," answered Estudillo. "Change your vote," ordered the Pacific henchman. "Why?" asked Estudillo. "Change it, that's why." was the And Estudillo immediately a further reason changed his vote to Here is Estudillo's record of capitol removal bill, which has appeared in these columns: "1. To page 1319 of the Journal sembly of 1907. The question before day was the removal of the capitol mento to Berkeley. The bill under tion was Senate Bill No. 850; it fight made by the railroad company Sacramento because Sacramento pendently in its choice for governor 4500 votes being cast in the major The capitol removal bill was simply punish Sacramento for its indifference there was no other motive behind it. The railroad company line man that it could for the bill and M voted for it." Dr. Ireland favors Estudillo's nomination, and gives him a clean bill of health, politically speaking. He announces Estudillo is anti-railroad, and that his record in the last assembly proves this statement. Making the claim that Estudillo voted against race-track gambling, the anti-prize fight bill, the pure food law and the Cartwright bill, Dr. Ireland reasons that Estudillo must be anti-railroad, because the railroad opposed the anti-prize fight bill and the anti-racetrack gambling bill. Going further, Dr. Ireland assumes that the evident fact that railroad hirelings throughout the district are working for Estudillo is, mark you, to defeat him, knowing the temper of the people in this state this year is set as a flint against a continuance of railroad domination in the state. This will not do. We accept everything which Dr. Ireland says concerning Estudillo—knowing nothing or caring nothing about his attitude on the racetrack and prizefight evils; but we must be permitted to insist that, in spite of his stand upon these questions, his record as a railroad man is such as to merit him overwhelming defeat in his present aspirations to go higher. We have already printed Estudillo's record as a railroader. We have printed on the assertion of men of unimpeachable honor that Estudillo entered a caucus of anti-railroad legislators in Los Angeles a few days before the convening of the last legislature, promising to support an anti-railroad man for speaker, and that he went directly therefrom to the office of the railroad boss and pledged his vote, in return for appointment to the chairmanship of an important committee, to vote for the railroad candidate for speaker. Estudillo voted for Beardsly for speaker, the railroad candidate, forsaking his solemn pledge to the anti-railroad men given a few days before. What has Dr. Ireland to say about this? Estudillo failed to stand up and vote for the interests of the people when the roll was called upon what is known as the Reciprocal Demurrage bill. This bill provided that when a shipper required a car for the shipment of his from this district, which embraces the counties of Orange and Riverside. Estudillo voted wrong up bill in which the railroad hitherst. And yet Dr. Ireland confuse the public mind by the character of the man and him credit for voting for prize fight bill and the anti-gambling! If these were the evils under which the state the argument might do; but greater evil menacing the lithe people than prize fighting track gambling, bad as these is the menace of the deprivation rights of the people in self-government. A railroad oligarchy rules secures immunity from taxation extent of millions of dollars creases the taxes of the poor. It usurps the functions of government destroys the liberties of the and holds in its hands the government. This railroad oligarchy destroyed. It is a mighty power an aroused people is a mighty Dr. Ireland will please stay the way and let the process When he stands in the public church and admonishes his help support this creature of the Lord has his eye on him! Decoration Day Malvern Hill Post, G.A.R., ton is arranging for a fitting of Decoration Day, which on Saturday, May 30th. Exercis held at the Anaheim cemetery the hours of 9:30 and 12 noon children of this and neighbor tricts will participate in a little musical program which will nounced later. An address will be delivered John L. Beveridge, former governor Illinois. Gen. Beveridge is mident of Hollywood. He was a general during the civil war, ward elected governor of Illinois also filled the responsible post treasurer of the United for speaker, the railroad candidate, forsaking his solemn pledge to the anti-railroad men given a few days before. What has Dr. Ireland to say about this? Estudillo failed to stand up and vote for the interests of the people when the roll was called upon what is known as the Reciprocal Demurrage bill. This bill provided that when a shipper required a car for the shipment of his produce, he should notify the railroad and that corporation must furnish him such car within five days. Failing to so furnish the car, it was to pay him $25 per day for every day the car remained unprovided. On the other hand, if the car were furnished, and the shipper failed to load it expeditiously, he was to pay the railroad $25 per day. What could be fairer than that? The peatland celery growers were unable to ship out their product because of their inability to procure sufficient cars in season in which to transport their crops. The orange associations in Anaheim had to close down operations time and again the past season because of a famine of cars. Estudillo heard the arguments of the clean, honest anti-railroad men in the assembly in support of this bill. He also heard the insolent threat of the railroad lobbyists that the bill should not become law. When roll was called, Estudillo WAS NOT IN HIS SEAT, he having "made a sneak" out of the house. Dr. Ireland says that perhaps Estudillo had "important business" which called him out of the house. But what private business of his could possibly outweigh the interests of the people in ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1908 Real test between the people in railroad? If the man is in the having such important business the interests of the people like, in the hour of their peril, good enough man to leave at on the battle is on and there at the front. Proof that Estudillo was by the railroad is the fol- which has already appeared columns, and which we take Riverside Press, a paper in Estudillo's own town: History told on Miguel Estudillo, one who were present when the incited and heard every word of it.

Sale beg THE “S Schum No voted wrong upon every which the railroad had an in- and yet Dr. Ireland seeks to the public mind by extolling the man and giving it for voting for the anti-bill and the anti-racetrack. If these were the only two men which the state suffered might do; but there is a real menacing the liberties of more than prize fighting and race bbling, bad as these are. That face of the deprivation of the people in self-government and oligarchy rules us; it immunity from taxation to the millions of dollars, and in taxes of the poor thereby. The functions of government, the liberties of the people, in its hands the reins of it. Railroad oligarchy must be it is a mighty power, but the people is a mightier.

Complete returns from this supervisor district indicate that the two delegates to the state and senatorial district conventions will be anti-machine. The fight for two delegates for Estudillo in this district has failed. Democratic primaries were also held throughout the county. The following delegates were elected in this city and neighboring precincts. Anaheim No. 1—John Brunworth, O. Renner, F. C. Rimpau, F. Mickle, J. J. Schneider.

Herrin Swept Off the Boards Reports from nearly every county in the state show the overwhelming defeat of the railroad machine. In San Francisco the loyal republicans carry 49 of the city delegates, to 18 by the railroad. In Los Angeles, Alameda, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Orange the machine has been decisively beaten. The only way the machine can control the state convention next month is by those delegates who were appointed Rebekahs Entertain Rebekah lodge, No. 268, initiates seven candidates on Friday to witness the degree of new degree staff.

In hall four long tables were set in the center of each where May poles from which exeamers of pink and green were further decorated with tuets of pink sweet peas and a May shower of sweet peas broadcast on the tablecloths. Banquet speech-making was held, Herman Stern acting as chair in a most witty and felicious. Reports from nearly every county in the state show the overwhelming defeat of the railroad machine. In San Francisco the loyal republicans carry 49 of the city delegates, to 18 by the railroad. In Los Angeles, Alameda, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Orange the machine has been decisively beaten. The only way the machine can control the state convention next month is by those delegates who were appointed by county central committees, on orders of the machine, instead of being fairly elected at primaries. Another primary election occurs in August. This is the most important primary of the year. If Herrin robs the loyal republicans of their victory by these appointed delegates, let them rise and at him again! Loyal republicans of California send greetings to President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. They set their faces toward the rising light in the east, and declare that, by the grace of God, California shall be politically freed from the shackels of the railroad machine. The venire called into City Recorder Wilson's court, at Santa Ana, Monday morning to try W. E. Baker on a charge of illegal liquor selling, was dismissed on the challenge of the defense that the summoning officer, City Marshal Edwards, was biased. Attorney Bishop for the defense asked Edwards if he thought Baker guilty or not guilty. "Guilty," said Edwards. The law requires that the summoning officer shall have no more bias than the juror, and on the showing the recorder dismissed the venire and set the case for trial May 20.
