UNDER SHADOW OF HERRIN State Committeemen McMullan and Bell-Wether Morrison Turn County's Delegates Over to Railroad Machine—Coming Move for Honest Primaries The shadow of Herrin hovered above the meeting of the republican-county central committee at Santa Ana Friday, when delegates to the state and congressional district conventions were arbitrarily appointed by the committee. It was the first time in the history of the county such raw work was perpetrated by the machine, and the job will cost the party votes in November. It was done over the protest of machine-free republicans on the committee, as well as others throughout the county. It was done on orders from railroad headquarters in Los Angeles, and was the first time the organization has ridden roughshod over the voters of the county. It has opened a breach in the party which spells disaster, and clean men of the party bow their heads in shame at the result. That there are honorable men on the delegation is undisputed. R. T. Davies of Fullerton voted against the action, yet was appointed a member of the delegation. H. H. Hale of Placentia denounced the action as an abridgment of the rights of voters, and Dr. Bail and N. A. Ulm of Santa Ana also voiced their vehement disapproval. The railroad needs the delegates—that is the only reason which can be truthfully assigned for the action of Trabuca. The fourteen delegates apologize to W. M. Brown, Orange; G. Olinda; D. A. MacMullan, Oak Talbert, Huntington Beach; Allep, Los Alamitos; F. C. Anaheim; W. B. Williams, John Kellenberger, Anah Smithwick, Santa Ana; I. Orange; K. E. Watson, Orange ence Wakeham, Newport; dell, Capistrano; R. T. Davies. Members of the party three counties are outspoken in the nation of the committee's insist that steps will be taken to circulate petitions to tension of the primary law in this county. The primary laboratory only in the larger state, and wherever primary were held in these cities railroad was swept off its feet Francisco the machine elected out of 70 delegates. In Alan Clara and Contra Costa counties have been held and the primary law made Steps will be taken to extend to Orange county. From the Register's report meeting we quote as follows: The first to object to the was H. H. Hale of Placentia the leading ranchers of the "Gentlemen," said he, "I be doing my duty by my predecessors the people were I to sit staring this thing go through without I would not be doing my duty stand for it. It is not the pointment of delegates by these would do any great harm not that it strikes at the violation principle of our govern primaries. In behalf of th honorable men on the delegation is undisputed. R. T. Davies of Fullerton voted against the action, yet was appointed a member of the delegation. H. H. Hale of Placentia denounced the action as an abridgment of the rights of voters, and Dr. Ball and N. A. Ulm of Santa Ana also voiced their vehement disapproval. The railroad needs the delegates—that is the only reason which can be truthfully assigned for the action of the committee. Doc MacMullan led the fight for the machine, maintaining that the people were too busy to attend primaries or county conventions. The first showdown as to the intention to appoint delegates instead of calling primaries and a county convention came in the vote on whether or not the proxies would be allowed. The proxies were upheld by the chair. H. H. Hale appealed. On the appeal Chairman Morrison voted the proxies. Five proxies were voted and the vote stood 22 in favor of voting the proxies by the holders instead of by the majority of the committee and 11 against. Dr. MacMullan then moved that the central committee appoint fourteen delegates, thirteen to go to the state convention and fourteen to go to the congressional convention, the fourteen to decide which of their number should stay away from the state convention. The motion was spoken against by H. H. Hale, who declared such a procedure as striking at a foundation principle, Dr. Ball, Fred West, N. A. Ulm, and Perry Lewis, and those who spoke in favor of it were Dr. MacMullan, W. M. Brown, F. C. Spencer and W. R. McAllep. Those who voted for the measure were F. C. Spencer, J. S. Howard (proxy by Spencer), B. F. Warner (proxy by Smithwick), S. O. Walker, Ralph Fuller, Mike Babylon, F. R. Aldrich (proxy by Walker), W. R. McAllep, G. W. Bird, D. A. MacMullan, J. G. O'Brien, J. W. Morrison, W. S. Gregg, C. H. King, John Landell, James Conley (proxy by MacMullan), Sid Smithwick, W. J. Montgomery, Fred Gerkin, J. F. Velasco, Laguna. Against it were R. T. Davies, Fred West, A. F. Swift, A. Hermes, H. H. Hale, Dr. C. D. Ball, N. A. Ulm, Geo. McPhee, H. W. Lewis, G. W. Moore, "Gentlemen," said he, "I am doing my duty by my predecessors the people were I to sit staring this thing go through without I would not be doing my duty stand for it. It is not the pointment of delegates by these would do any great harm not that it strikes at the veto principle of our governors primaries. In behalf of them I appeal to you to leave the delegates to the people." Dr. C. D. Ball of Santa Ana that the people are deeply in the nomination of a co-ordinator and that they should be given opportunity to instruct their deputy to whom they should vote congressional convention. "You have no power to say he." "I am strongly opposed appointment of delegates by mittee. Why not go back? Why intrude upon the Fred West of Fullerton pose this motion because it is too much like we ought not be afraid to please have a say so. To arrange against us would be a moment to the republican party time. I am entirely in favour of primaries." Dr. MacMullan defended as follows: "By this procedure we nothing from the people state and congressional call in the call for the last count the result would have different. It is an awful for a farmer to quit work days and go to a primary office. It is a hardship one have had the convention, nor the use of going to tiresome less work?" W. M. Brown of Orange the people have had the opportunity that the assemblyman and judge nominees had been the convention named the committee. F. C.

The delegates would be just the same were there a convention. The people would laugh at us were we to call another convention. Dr. Ball: "I'd just as soon they would laugh at us as swear at us." N. A. Ulm said: "Four years ago when electing delegates to the state convention there was no contest on. It was all Roosevelt. I felt then that a convention would be useless." Mr. Ulm read from the minutes of the central committee meeting of four years ago. S. O. Walker moved that a convention be called for the election of delegates to the state convention. Ulm moved to amend by appointment. The central committee decided for the convention. "At that time we had no precedent," said Ulm, "Now we have that precedent. More than that we have a reason for calling a convention now we did not have then. Then there was no trouble in the party. Now there is a lot of howling because of fear we would appoint delegates. In the face of that we ought not appoint. Let us go before the people fairly and squarely. Let us, like men, give them a chance to vote." Brown: "The people who have been howling were not good enough Republicans to attend the Taft ratification meeting." W. R. McAllop of Los Alamitos said: "We cannot get the ranchers in the country to attend the primaries during the busy season. They do not want to quit their work." Perry Lewis of Tustin: "What is the use of starting a fight in the party and widening the breach just for the want of one convention?" Fred West: "I have talked to my people at Fullerton and I tell you they want the primaries. Judge Howard of Anaheim, whose proxy is held here and will be voted against the primaries, told me he favored primaries. I am well acquainted in the La Habra valley and I know La Habra valley wants primaries, yet the proxy of the committeeman from La Habra will be voted here against the primaries." (This proxy was held by S. O. Walker.) Brown of Orange said that he have had the convention, assemblyman and superior nominees had been chosen and convention named the central one.

(This proxy was held by S. O. Walker.) Walnut Men in Conference Tariff revision and plans for having a special representative to report on crop conditions in foreign countries were two questions discussed at the meeting of the executive committee of the Southern California Walnut Growers' association in Los Angeles the other day. C. C. Teague of Santa Paula presided and J. A. Montgomery acted as secretary. There was a full attendance of members of the executive body and much interest was manifested in the questions. After considerable time had been consumed on the tariff question, Dr. J. Allen Osmun was appointed to represent the growers at Washington, to protect their interest and explain conditions to congressmen. Equally important was the plan to have a representative report on conditions of the English walnut crop in foreign countries. For some time the growers have been endeavoring to get authentic information concerning the probable harvest in other lands, but thus far have been unable to obtain data of a reliable nature. It was finally suggested that some one be sent from here, and a motion to that effect was adopted, but as yet the representative has not been named. Does your Checking Account Pay Interest?
