WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS Railroad Machine Dealt a Body Blow at Tuesday's Primaries—Antl-Machine Will Probably Control State Convention The result of Tuesday's primaries show that the earnest campaign carried on in this state against the Herrin machine has resulted in the probable overthrow of the push in many counties of the state. In San Francisco it is believed that the machine has been effectually beaten, and glorious reports come from Alameda, Sacramento, San Jose and Los Angeles. The fight was not so much for the nomination of Secretary Taft for President (for the machine was long since whipped into line for the people's candidate) as for control of the new state central committee, which will be the party's governing body for the next state election. In Riverside county Estudillo seems to have things his own way in three supervisor districts, but has probably lost two districts. The energetic fight made against him by loyal republicans has told effectually against him, and predictions are freely made that he is practically out of the race for the senatorship. The Orange Post publishes this flattering reference to Mr. Melrose, who will be a candidate for the republican nomination for assemblyman before today's convention: Richard Melrose of Anaheim has been mentioned as a probable candidate for assemblyman from the seventy-seventh district. The Plain Dealer credits him with "having served this county years ago in the But the opposition exists, and might as well recognize it accordingly. One thing is very — if the next senator comes from ange county, the tactless and mised friends of Estudillo are to blame. One feature of the struggle over naval appropriation bill in the brought a surprise, rather a pone, to the people of California, defeat of the four-battleships action was fully expected. That doomed, was evident from the outrage. The surprise was that at the eleventh hour this state's senior senator had his influence, not in support of amendment which was favored practically the entire Pacific coast to the side of the dominating cliff the senate that would reject a measure of national defense, and too, merely to spite President Lovelit. The course taken by Senatorkins is doubly surprising in view of past record. He has long been a member of the naval affairs committee in that capacity has had the full portunity to familiarize himself all matters relating to the naval his general attitude in the past been friendly to naval expansion deed. It is only a few weeks since made a very notable speech in far generous support of the navy. He fended the course of President Lovelit in sending the ships to the low coast, and his words were of a kind leave the impression that he would a staunch supporter of any reason increase in the naval establishment. That speech, which was delivered February 21 last, was in support resolution declaring: "It should be the policy of the government, while not adopting a conscious program fixing the numb The Orange Post publishes this flattering reference to Mr. Melrose, who will be a candidate for the republican nomination for assemblyman before today's convention: Richard Melrose of Anaheim has been mentioned as a probable candidate for assemblyman from the seventy-seventh district. The Plain Dealer credits him with "having served this county years ago in the assembly;" but we find no record of such services in the blue book. However that is not important; if he were capable of serving the county, or state, in prehistoric ages, much more is he capable now, for he has literally taken Horace Greeley's advice and grown up with the country. Aside from his legal knowledge, he has other qualifications that fit him for a legislator, such as acumen, tact and tenacity. He will creditably fill any place that may be assigned him. The Riverside Press hits off the senatorial situation very happily as follows: Some of the vociferous friends of Estudillo have been foolish enough to declare that Orange county has no right to "butt in" on this senatorial proposition; that it is Riverside's turn to name the senator and Orange county can expect no voice in deciding who the nominee shall be. To say the least that position is decidedly discourteous to the sister county that forms with Riverside the joint senatorial district. The practice has been, it is true, for the office to alternate between the two counties. But that arrangement certainly does not contemplate that either county should be denied the right to a voice in the selection of the candidate. That would not only be poor politics, but it would be contrary to all the principles of equity and fairness. There is widespread opposition in Orange county to Estudillo. The four leading republican papers of the county—the Santa Ana Blade, the Santa Ana Register, the Orange Post and the Anaheim Gazette—are all arrayed against him. And there is not a paper in the county, from Orange to Capistrano, and from Fullerton to Newport Beach, that has published a single line fended the course of President Lincoln velt in sending the ships to the Lakes coast, and his words were of a kind leave the impression that he would a staunch supporter of any reason increase in the naval establishment. That speech, which was delivered February 21 last, was in support resolution declaring: "It should be the policy of the ennment, while not adopting a conscious program fixing the number naval vessels of any type to be built future years, to maintain the relative position with the navy other great powers." The amendment authorizing battleships, instead of two, was opinion of the San Diego Union, in line with the resolution Senator Perkins last February six championed. The official figure foreign naval construction demonstrable that with the authorization of only battleships the "present relative tion in comparison with the navy other great powers" will not be trained by the United States. An people who read that speech of Feb 21 can only draw the inference that reasons which can, perhaps, be ded, the senior senator by his vote Monday has fairly reversed himself course that is as disappointing was unexpected. The reception accorded by convoi to the president's message of Mays was scarcely decent. The two belles were so busy doing small political they could not find time to listen executive request that they fully functions delegated to them by constituents. The country is well this congress and its ten cent po Unlike congress, the country the message full of meat and condiments matters of urgency. The limitation of the arbitrary power of injunctions without a hearing accords to the party enjoined touches a crime that the president has than once before emphasized: congress is too busy with petty pay attention. The danger lies in fact pointed out by the mans that this denial of simple justice provoke a tempest of passion that wipe out the whole injunction system. It is an extreme remedy, which message says should be used apa There is widespread opposition in Orange county to Estudillo. The four leading republican papers of the county—the Santa Ana Blade, the Santa Ana Register, the Orange Post and the Anaheim Gazette—are all arrayed against him. And there is not a paper in the county, from Orange to Capistrano, and from Fullerton to Newport Beach, that has published a single line in his favor. The only republicans in the county who are taking any friendly interest in the Estudillo campaign are a few Southern Pacific "push" workers. Their activity is significant. Walter Parker is understood to have notified some of the Orange county politicians at the close of the last legislature that Estudillo was to be their next senator; and they do not take kindly to accepting the program which he proposes to hand them. So thoroughly aroused are the voters generally on the question of "machine" politics that the party leaders there have virtually served notice on Riverside that if this county insists on standing for Estudillo, Orange county will reserve the right to have a candidate of her own and nominate. Orange county will have 13 votes in the joint convention and Riverside will only have 10. We must have some of the Orange county delegates in order to nominate a Riverside man; and the way to get them is to put forward a man that is acceptable to that county. No one in Riverside county is responsible for the attitude of the Orange county papers regarding Estudillo or for the strong opposition to him there, so strong in fact that it is freely predicted that he would not carry the county, if he should be nominated. Stern condemnation should be woven upon demagogue and visionary teach this untruth and even so upon those capitalists who are in grasping and greedy and brutally regardful of the rights of others who by their actions teach the dreadless lesson far more effectively than mere preacher of unrest.

In the higher sense of the word this movement for thorough control of the business use of this great wealth is conservative. In the opening of the case Roosevelt strives to steer a safe middle course between a plutocratic class government on one hand and a socialistic class government on the other. He would amend the law against trusts by placing in some national tribunal the power to permit such trade combinations as may further the public interest, placing on them the burden of proof. Roosevelt believes—and the country is coming around to the same idea—that we must have a national incorporation law. It is the demonstrated experience of modern conditions that the corporations are bigger and stronger than the states. The Southern Pacific is the state government of California and the common interests of the public service corporations have always the right of way in this commonwealth over the needs of the people. A national tribunal constituted like the interstate commerce commission would be strong enough to dispense justice to both sides. The development of the past week in the financial world which commanded overwhelming attention was the successful international floatation of the Pennsylvania railroad's $40,000,000 loan, by the assured sale of that amount of forty-year four per cent bonds. The important significance of this transaction is the proof its affords of the return of confidence in the future of our greatest railroads; and it means,'of course, that Pennsylvania is to continue its Homesee manded overwhelming attention was the successful international floatation of the Pennsylvania railroad's $40,000,000 loan, by the assured sale of that amount of forty-year four per cent bonds. The important significance of this transaction is the proof its affords of the return of confidence in the future of our greatest railroads; and it means, of course, that Pennsylvania is to continue its preparations for handling increasing traffic. With the Pennsylvania prepared to increase its facilities it is fair to assume that other great systems hold similar views. The president has once more struck the keynote of exact justice. In his latest special message to congress he denounced the boycott and the blacklist. He deprecates the demagogue and the agitator. Then he says, "But his counterpart in evil is to be found in that particular kind of millionaire who is almost the least enviable and is certainly the least admirable, of all our citizens; a man of whom it has been well said that his face has grown hard and cruel while his body has grown soft; whose son is a fool and his daughter a foreign princess; whose nominal pleasures are at best those of tasteless and extravagant luxury, and whose real delight, whose real life work, is the accumulation and use of power in its most sordid and least elevating form."
