A POLITICAL CONSPIRACY Self-Constituted Bosses Seek to Force Cuttle's Nomination for Congress That a political conspiracy exists for forcing the nomination of Francis Cuttle of Riverside for congress from the Eleventh district, is indicated by the following remarkable correspondence between a trio of self-constituted Orange county bosses and politicians of a similar way of thinking at Riverside, which is sent The Gazette for publication. Republicans of Orange county will be astounded at the action of these self-styled "progressives" to thwart the will of the people, and to relegate the selection of a congressional candidate to a coterie of Lincoln-Roosevelters in Riverside county. Selection of the party's candidate is not to be referred, in their opinion, to these politicians. If the candidate is to be successful at the polls, he must be the choice of the entire party, and not a partisan coterie of job hunters, who are arrogating to themselves the right to name the standard-bearer. Never in the history of California politics has such a brazen attempt been made to foll the wishes of the rank and file of the party, and among republicans of all shades of political belief it will not be tolerated. A trio of bosses, J. P. Baumgartner and E. E. Keech of Santa Ana and Ed Amerige of Fullerton, are the instigators of this scheme to name the congressional candidate. They have been in correspondence with Riverside men with this end in Moreover, we understand that Mr. Cuttle proposed to leave the determination of which (himself or Mr. Evans) should be the Riverside candidate to a vote of those who were members of the Johnson and Wallace club of the campaign of two years ago, and that Mr. Evans flatly rejected the proposition. If the contest between Mr. Cuttle and Mr. Evans had been determined in that way we think the progressives of Orange county would have felt morally bound by the result; but if the result of the postal primary, including all republicans, should result in favor of Mr. Evans, we shall call a meeting of the progressive republican league of Orange county and submit to it the question of whether or not we shall support Mr. Evans. If we represented all the republicans of Orange county, Mr. Carnahan's assumption of our complaisance in this matter would be reasonably justifiable; but we represent only the progressive republicans of this county as they, in general, are represented by the progressive league, whose committee we are. Very truly yours, E. R. Amerige, J. P. Baumgartner, E. E. Keech.

A trio of bosses, J. P. Baumgartner and E. E. Keech of Santa Ana and Ed Amerige of Fullerton, are the instigators of this scheme to name the congressional candidate. They have been in correspondence with Riverside men with this end in view. Their purposes are best illustrated in the following correspondence, and Mr. Evans' comment thereupon: Carnahan's Letter Riverside, Mar. 5, 1912. Messrs. E. R. Amerige, E. E. Keech and J. P. Baumgartner.—Gentlemen: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 3d inst. I obtained the same impression as did Mr. Phelps from your former letter, although I thought that there was nothing personal to me in your suggestions on the last page. I am of course glad to have you confirm this. However, relying upon your attitude, as stated in your letter, and your expressions of good will, we promptly took the action indicated in my former letter, which we think will ultimately result in a determination of the one of the two gentlemen, if either, upon which our voters will unite. We assumed from your letter, as I think we had a right to do, that you and the other progressives of Orange county considered the character of the candidate as a progressive republican, and his probable ability and efficiency in congress, as of supreme importance, overshadowing any question of identity of the candidate—that you were backing a principle rather than a man. On that account, since there is no question as to the aggressive progressive republicanism of either Mr. Cuttle or Mr. Evans, we believed that you were intending to assure us that you would join us in helping to elect the one which shall appear to be the choice of the substantial majority of the progressives in this county. If there is anything in your last letter that is intended to convey the contrary impression, I am genuinely sorry, for the reasons above indicated. Yours sincerely, H. L. Carnahan. Committee's Letter Santa Ana March 9, 1912. in this matter would be reasonably justifiable; but we represent only the progressive republicans of this county as they, in general, are represented by the progressive league, whose committee we are. Very truly yours, E. R. Amerige, J. P. Baumgartner, E. E. Keech. What Evans Says "That Mr. Francis Cuttle, candidate for the republican nomination for congress in the eleventh district, holds his personal ambition above any honors to be gained by Riverside county, and above the welfare of the people of this, his home county, is the charge made by Samuel C. Evans, recently mayor of Riverside, and the best known citizen of Riverside, himself a candidate for congress. Mr. Evans reluctantly consented to talk on this matter to a Riverside newspaper this week. He said that he was loath to believe that Mr. Cuttle, merely to drive him from the contest, would authorize such dire threats as made by the trio of Orange county men in whose hands Mr. Cuttle had committed his candidacy. Cuttle's Scarecrow "Unfortunately," said Mr. Evans, "Mr. Cuttle had himself shown him the letter from Messrs. Keech/Baumgartner and Amerige of Orange county, and Mr. Cuttle had done it apparently with the sole object of frightening him into retirement. Mr. Evans gave to the newspaper copies of the letter from these three men, and also one written by H. L. Carnahan, chairman of the Riverside republican county central committee. "So astonished and hurt was Mr. Evans by these machinations of the Cuttle faction, as he termed them, that he made up his mind to have no further communication with Mr. Cuttle on the congressional campaign and to trust to his friends to make the best presentation of his candidacy. Mr. Evans said to his interviewer: "I am forced to end all arrangements for joint meetings or mutual agreements with Mr. Cuttle. I regret this deeply, but it has become necessary. Last week Mr. Cuttle and I talked over every possible means of eliminating one of us from the contest. We discussed the postal card plan among others. We could not agree. We practically decided that both would continue in the struggle for the nomination for congress." "That afternoon I went to Imperial county." asked him to let me they will refuse to send am the choice of River don't believe that Saw will make any combination county, without son, simply to beat me. "I went into the mary in good faith that, even if I win in city, yet there is a school prive me of the hom event.

D. Gage." Committee's Letter Santa Ana, March 9, 1912. Messrs. H. L. Carnahan, W. W. Phelps and E. P. Clarke, Riverside, Cal.—Gentlemen: We beg to acknowledge receipt of Mr. H. L. Carnahan's letter of the 5th inst. We do not deem it necessary at this time to discuss in detail all points raised in Mr. Carnahan's letter. It is important; however, to state that, so far as this committee is concerned, we shall not consider ourselves bound or in any way obligated to support the choice of the postal primary planned to determine the relative strength of Mr. Francis Cuttle and Mr. S. C. Evans in Riverside county. Mr. Carnahan says: "Since there is no question as to the aggressive progressive republicanism of either Mr. Cuttle or Mr. Evans, we believed that you were intending to assure us that you would join us in helping to elect the one which shall appear to be the choice of the substantial majority of the progressives in this county." As the proposed primary is to include all the republicans of the county, we do not see how it can determine which (Mr. Evans or Mr. Cuttle) is (to quote Mr. Carnahan)"the choice of the substantial majority of the progressive republicans in this (Riverside) county." speech-making in the county. Mr. Cuttle, at the time, handed me a letter from three gentlemen of Orange county who are handling his campaign, Messrs. Baumgartner, Keech and Amerige. This letter, a copy of which I now hand you, was to the effect that they disclaim any intention to abide by the result of the postal card primary in Riverside county. Read this letter, and you will see just what it is. “This letter was in answer to one from Riverside, written by H. L. Carnahan, and was brought to Riverside by Mr. Cuttle. It was shown to me before Mr. Carnahan or Mr.Phelps to whom it was addressed, and had received their copies by mail. Whether E. P. Clarke got his I don’t know, because he is out of the city. “In the letter I am informed that Mr. Cuttle had entered the race for the nomination for congress long ago, and that I had butted into the district quite lately. I am informed, also, that if I am nominated as Riverside’s choice, a combination will be made between Orange and San Diego counties to defeat me. “I am told that I imperil the chances of Riverside county by my candidacy. “I don’t believe that the people of Orange county are unfair, nor that they will refuse to support me if I am the choice of Riverside county. I don’t believe that San Diego county will make any combination with Orange county, without rhyme or reason, simply to beat me. “I went into the postal card primary in good faith. I am now told that, even if I win in Riverside county, yet there is a scheme afoot to deprive me of the nomination in any event. I consider this scheme and this notice contained in the letter teen years, or one hundred per cent per annum: The question soon to be determined is whether we will so lower the duty on raw sugar as to drive out the home industry we have started to build up, give the seaboard refiners of imported raw sugar a monopoly of our entire sugar business and with that monopoly the power to fix absolutely the price our consumers shall pay for sugar and continue to send a hundred million dollars a year to foreign countries for sugar; or whether we will retain the duty on raw sugar, stimulate competition by erecting hundreds of new and independent beet sugar factories throughout the country, and thereby increase the value of our yield of other crops by a billion and a half dollars a year.

I am now told that, even if I win in Riverside county, yet there is a scheme afoot to deprive me of the nomination in any event. I consider this scheme and this notice contained in the letter unfair to me and to my friends. I have sought no such letters from other counties. I agreed with Mr. Cuttle that this was to be a matter for Riverside county only. It belongs to the people of Riverside county alone to make the elimination. The republican county central committee placed it with them. "Up to this time I have consented to the arrangements proposed by Mr. Cuttle, without time for thought or advice, believing him to be acting fairly. After discovering the stale political methods of the letter from Orange, I have taken a few hours to confer with my friends, and they have unanimously advised me to enter into no joint meetings with Mr. Cuttle, but to make my own campaign in my own way, and to abide in good faith by the results of the postal primary. I have named as my representatives in this postal primary L. V. W. Brow and D. D. Gage." VALUE OF SUGAR BEETS How Rotation of Crops Advantage German Farmers/ Editor Gazette.—Would you pass a law prohibiting the farmers of the United States from putting fertilizers on their land? The reduction of the sugar tariff with the consequent abolition of the sugar beet industry would have an effect almost as bad. The worn-out soils of Germany have been so rejuvenated by the advent of sugar-beet culture, that they now produce an average of 30 bushels of wheat to the acre to our 15; 59 bushels of oats to our 30; 208 bushels of potatoes to our 106; 39 bushels of barley to our 24; and 29 bushels of rye to our 16 bushels. In 1907 from her 43,000,000 acres devoted to these five crops, Germany harvested 3,000,000,000 bushels, while from our 88,500,000 acres devoted to the same crop, we harvested but 1,875,000,000 bushels; or in other words, from less than one-half the acreage, Germany harvested practically double for sick, weakened kidneys. Many people in this locality recommend them. Here's one case: H. E. Jennings, Orange, Cal., says: "About fifteen years ago while living in Michigan, Doan's Kidney pills were highly recommended to me by a party who said that they had curbed him of lame back from which he had suffered for years. This favorable report led me to try Doan's Kidney Pills, as I was troubled by pain and lameness in my back, due to weak kidneys. My trial of Doan's Kidney Pills resulted in such positive relief that I was given great faith in them. I have recommended this excellent remedy since then to everyone I have heard complaining of backache or any other symptoms of kidney complaint." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

In 1907 from her 43,000,000 acres devoted to these five crops, Germany harvested 3,000,000,000 bushels, while from our 88,500,000 acres devoted to the same crop, we harvested but 1,875,000,000 bushels; or in other words, from less than one-half the acreage, Germany harvested practically double the number of bushels which we harvested from our virgin soils. If from the land German farmers devoted to these five crops in 1907, they had secured only our average yield per acre, they would have been poorer by $900,000,000; while if from our acreage devoted to the same crops American farmers had secured the same yield per acre that the German farmers secured, our farmers would have been richer by $1,400,000,- Throughout the beet sugar countries of Europe, Germany's experience has been duplicated, and it is not to be wondered at that the agriculturists and economists of these countries are amazed that the United States continues to derive the greater part of its sugar supply from foreign countries. The American people have been slow to appreciate these facts which are of such tremendous importance to the nation's economy, for the reason that our indigenous sugar industry is young, but our farmers who grow the beets have begun to appreciate it and hence are more and more anxious to extend their plantings, as is shown by the fact that our annual production of beet sugar has grown from 40,000 tons in 1896 to 600,000 tons in 1911, or 1500 per cent in fif- THURSDAY, MARCH 2 FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ANAHEIM States Depository for the Postal Savings System 0.
