THE PARTY TIED HAND AND FOOT Since the meeting of the county committee on Saturday, loyal republicans are face to face with the fact that the county is tied hard and fast to the Herrin chariot and that while the county is overwhelmingly against the machine, its delegates will vote with the railroad at the Oakland convention. While clean republicans from one end of the state to the other are battling manfully for the freedom of the party from railroad vassalage, their associates in Orange county hang their heads in shame at this overtowering political calamity. Men in other counties have shoulder to the wheel of party progress and are fighting to be freed from the domination of corrupt railroad politics. We in Orange county stand idle and see ourselves disfranchised by as unclean a pack of political ghouls as ever went unhung. A thousand earnest republicans in Orange county have met and ties have shoulder to the wheel of party progress and are fighting to be freed from the domination of corrupt railroad politics. We in Orange county stand idle and see ourselves disfranchised by as unclean a pack of political ghouls as ever went unhung. A thousand earnest republicans in Orange county have met and denounced this arbitrary usurpation of power by the county committee, but their action falls upon deaf ears with the men who are conspiring to disrupt the party solely that the railroad machine, in its death grapple with the outraged manhood of the party, might fasten its hold for yet a brief time upon the politics of this state. Yet the county committee is not wholly to blame, bad as its action is. The state central committee, that unspeakable body of railroad hirelings, is at the bottom of the mischief. The state committee is no more representative of the republicans of the state than is the county committee representative of those of the county. At its meeting in San Francisco last month, after Knight’s unspeakable appointment of 21 railroaders as an “executive committee,” Committeeman Thelan of Alameda offered the following resolution: The republican state central committee directs that county committees call primary elections in county and assembly districts or portions of assembly districts where primary elections are not required by law, such primary elections to be held on Tuesday, August 4, 1908, and so far as possible to be conducted in accordance with the primary election law; provided, that if in any case primary elections are not called by the county committee, but one set of delegates is appointed by said county committee or otherwise, and one set is elected at a primary election held by the republican electors of the territory affected, then the delegates so elected shall be seated in the convention. The resolution was, of course, defeated, on Herrin’s orders, the vote being 63 to 32. This work of reforming the party dealings in the comm should be shunned as it A highwayman in polit ly to be accounted a sti right in the ordinary w These men in politics b upon a course which these base precepts are in other matters, in a They stand politically and if there were puni quately fitting their would probably be po bles on the rockpile participating in the ventions.

The resolution was, of course, defeated, on Herrin's orders, the vote being 63 to 32. This work of reforming the party must begin at the beginning. Control of the state convention is the object to be sought for. True, Orange county's delegates have been stolen, but republicans in other counties are astir and giving the railroad battle. We confidently believe Herrin will have his Waterloo at Oakland on August 27th. From all parts of the state, from San Francisco, Alameda, Los Angeles, Fresno, Sacramento, San Diego, come glowing reports of approaching victory. Here are some questions propounded by the kid, which we confess ourselves unable to answer: Which is the best—something that will do you no good, or something that will do you no harm? What makes dynamite explode? How can you tell a detective from a robber? For the first correct answer sent in by any subscriber, a valuable present will be given. Relative to the first question, all references to Mr. Estudillo's nomination are barred. Mr. Herrin has come near to the end of his political career. AIDS TO THE MACHINE doubtedly the most important init in support of the railroad's local bureau in this as in other cases is the lawless element gathen on the great municipalities—convicts, prizefighters, the killers and the not inconsiderate army of the idle and shiftless men of the cities drifting apart careers of usefulness and so on. We have seen here in Orkney how men, apparently une respectability in the community, have earned the contempt distrust of reputable men by shameless political acts deed to perpetuate the machine power. To say that these chaps forfeited the esteem of their men is to put it mildly in mind. They are guilty of political crime, in order to advance their base selfish interests, and it is easy step from this state to one of real defiance of the law. Men make light of their political situations, who stoop to falsehood to achieve their unworthy ends, not to be trusted in business rings in the community and will be shunned as a pestilence. Shwayman in politics is hard-be accounted a stickler for the ordinary walks of life. Men in politics have entered a course which will end, if base precepts are adhered to her matters, in a felon’s cell. murder to fasten the tentacles of the railroad bureau upon the city and state. Did one of these men find himself in jail for crime, he was promptly released upon the orders of the precinct boss. Too often, indeed, no arrest was made by the complaisant police. These young men of the rural districts who aid for the first time in encompassing the defeat of the people, by fastening upon them the odious grip of the railroad machine, are taking their first downward step, one which, if persevered in, they will regret in bitterness and lamentation. It is time for the clean men to rise up as one man and resist these encroachments upon their liberties. Until this year there was never in the history of the state an organized movement to destroy the railroad’s political machine. In the May convention the dagger thrust at the heart of the political bureau missed the mark by a hair. May the poniard of party disapprobation land, in the August convention, in the vitals of this hideous satyr, and let its blood run to redden the tide.

It now finds entry into nearly all the republican households in the northern and central portions of the county, as well as into hundreds of democratic, but it is not so much to the latter as to the former we desire to address ourselves. Every democratic subscriber will be welcomed and given a square deal. To republicans we say: Your party is upon the point of being wrecked by the Southern Pacific political machine. THE GAZETTE is at once the most fearless and outspoken newspaper in the county, as it publishes more of the stirring events of the political world than any other county paper. Its political articles are more extensively quoted than are those of any other county paper, sometimes properly credited, sometimes not. THE GAZETTE will continue in its battle to free Orange county from the domination of the railroad bureau. Probably not to exceed twenty republicans in the county stand for the action of the central committee in appointing delegates to state and congressional conventions. Against these railroaders and machine sympathizers stand 2500 resolute republicans determined that this infamous act shall never be repeated.

Dairy Men and Milk Trust The Southern California dairy association held their first stockholders' meeting Wednesday. Geo. B. Miller of Cypress, president, called the meeting to order and the excitement began. Several of the members had grievances which were threshed out in a friendly spirit. About one hundred were in attendance. Directors Graham of Whittier, Preston of Buena Park, Venable of Los Alamitos, Mayo of Compton and Stein of Artesia were present and took an active part in the discussions. Manager Mason of the Crescent Butter Co. of Los Angeles, was also present as a representative of that company, which markets the milk for the association in the city. The association has ordered forty fine retail wagons and will try to sell as much of the product as possible to the retail trade. They also propose to put a weigher at each shipping station to have charge of the milk before it is shipped. The association feels that the electric line charges too much freight and will arrange to send the milk in on the steam road. The S. P. charges only nine cents to the P.E.'s fourteen. for harmony—they want to keep the lid. The rank and file of republicans want to cauterize the party’s wounds, so that the gangrene party extinction might not follow. They want a house-cleaning—an opening-up of the cesspools of corlation, a fumigation of the rotten faces, and a general airing of the smises. A county convention held at the present time would be an exceedinginteresting meeting—to the push m. Many pertinent questions would be put to them, among them: 1.) How many delegates to the Parramento convention paid their road fare, as instructed to do by the county convention? 2.) Why did the senatorial deleges disobey instructions and vote for Estudillo? Push leaders do not care to be led upon in convention to answer questions such as these. The party’s house-cleaning may be deferred for time, but come it must, if it is to continue in power. If the election were to be held toarrow, we doubt if Estudillo would come within a thousand votes of Gill Orange county. And we doubt if chances improve as the weeks go The Westminster celery growers are a unit against Estudillo. They have a suit for a large sum against Southern Pacific railroad for six of a part of their crop because The association has ordered forty fine retail wagons and will try to sell as much of the product as possible to the retail trade. They also propose to put a weigher at each shipping station to have charge of the milk before it is shipped. The association feels that the electric line charges too much freight and will arrange to send the milk in on the steam road. The S. P. charges only nine cents to the P. E.’s fourteen. The difference will pay for hauling the milk to the steam line. A committee was appointed to divide the territory into nine districts, and a director will then be chosen from each district. The territory now covered by the association extends from Anaheim to Gardena and there is every probability that it will soon embrace all Southern California. The association is a grand success and the dairymen should stand by it till the proverbial “last dog is hung.” Placentia Frank Dunham has gone to Sugar Pine camp in Northern California on a short business and pleasure trip. J. M. Woodward has also gone north on business. Peter Bondeson is marketing his valencia crop and will have at least six cars. Miss Christina Hansen is home for a few days from Balboa. She will give a house party at Balboa next week in honor of a number of young ladies. J. S. Grose and wife were guests of Mr. and Mrs. O’Brien at Brookhurst’ Sunday. The Lilly families have gone to Laguna.
