Railroad Influence in San Francisco
Manifests Itself-A Caucus of the.
BAY City Delegation That
Failed of Result.

The different railroad influences that
are busily engaged in San Francisco to
prevent the reelection of United States
Senator Perkins will find the Southern
California delegation to the legislature
true to their pledges and the wishes of
their constituents. Colonel Mazuma
will receive q very cold reception when
he approaches the senators and Assem-.
blymen in his usual seductive manner,
and they will turn a deaf ear to his
"solid and sound arguments"
II it was the desire and hope OF the
railroad manipulators in San Francisco
to whip Southern California into line
against Senator Perkins, they will dis
cover that they will have to look to
other quarters to attain that end. In
their desperation they have caused the
publication that AsHemblyman Pendls-
ton of this city would follow the ex-
ample of his colleague from Pasadena,
Capt. G. M. Simpson, and would vote
for De Young, against his special in
structions from his constituents.
In order to obtain the views OF the
Los Angeles delegates in this matter. q
HERALD representative called upon
Assemblyman Bulls, at his residence,
last evening. Being asked, plainly,
whether or not Mr.. Bulla would vote for
Senator Perkins, and whether or not he
was open to the conviction that Mr..
de Young was preferable to the people
of this state as q United States senator,
Mr.. Buls replied:
HE is FOR PERKINS.
II feel bound. by the instructions of
the county convention, to vote for
Senator Perkins. 1t has been suggested
to me that the resolution passed by
the county convention, endorsing Sem
stor Perkins. is not binding, because it
was passed by the county convention
and not by the different district con-
ventions. While this may be technic-
ally true. yet consider the action of
the county convention a sufficient indi-
cation of the wishes Of my constituents
to render obligatory on me the duty of
casting my vote for Senator Perkins,"
"Who made the valuable suggestion
to you. that you are not bsund by the
instructions OF the county convention ?"
was asked.
II do not recollect who IL was," re.
piled Mr.. Bulla. II was not approached
by anybody to influence my vote in any
wav, but simply as an opinion without
any ulterior motive. 1t happened about
two or three weeks ago, while discuss.
ing the senatorial contest in q casual
way"
"Wers you approached at any time
since your election with a view to in
huencing your vote ?"
"Yes. When l was in San Francisco
about month ago. prominent politi-
clan there asked me how the southern
delegation felt in the senatorial contest.
and when 1 replied that We stood solid
for Perkins and intended to obey the
wishes of our constituents, he dropped
the subject Immediately"
"Who was that prominent politician !?
Was he in any way connected with the
railroad?"
II cannot tell you his name, beoauae
1t would be breach OF confidence. and
l know nothing about his connection
with the railroad" replied Mr.. Bulla.
THEY WILL ALL STAND PAT.
Mr.. Bulla was asked il he had con-
versed with the other mem bsrs from
this section on the senatorial question.
II have talked with some of the dele-
gates. and they are all for Mr.. Perkins
first. last and all the time. Mr.ssle.
ton was instructed by his district CON.
vension in favor of Senator Perkins. and
l know that Aasemblymen Weyse of
Santa Monica, and Llewellyn from this
city are on the same side OF the fence -
Have you heard OF any ATTEMPT of
the De Young forces to draw the election
direct into the joint session of the SEN.
ate and house without the usual eau
cus?" was asked.
II have heard nothins about that
plan. but | consider such a move vsrv
unwise. I do not believe thas they will
