Santa Cruz. He was defeated and
failed to get nearly the vote OF his
ticket. Like Kearney, his spec ches
to the farmers ruined him. His
next attempt for office was as q
member of the w. P. c., and II
took him to the Constitutional
Convention, but by vote far be-
hind the average Of his ticket. AS

Ex-Governor Downey recently
wrote letter suggesting that
"from Governor to Constable" the
offices should all be gathered IN.
His plan was to combine Oh the

either" The Workingmen took
him at his word, and the Demo.

The Examiner has the following
as to the cast-iron pledge and the
nominee for Congress from this
district.
The "cast.ir0n" oath which is
imposed OH the nominee of the
Workingmen for Representatives

If elected, go into any Republican
or Democratic Caucus for Suy pur-
pose, during my term Of office, and
that will NOT, as Cong essmap,

other than the WorkinEmen's can
