fornia politics marks the beginning OF the
attempt to either control or divide the
Democracy Of the state. Mr.. Huntington
and associates are again in politics. 1t ID
doubtful II they have ever been
out, but II they have been. they are
in again with all the yieor that character
lied the old-time activity that made them
forever infamous. They have selected
the "blind white devil" ~ their political
agent and rely upon his skill to 10 manIpu-
late things as to either muzzle and manacle
the Democratic party 20 that it will not e.
sist in thwarting railroad designs or to 90
disrupt the organization as to guarantee .
walkover for the Republican party. the

phistopholes seems certain of.
The first round in their fight to put Buck
ley in control of the Democracy was
fought before the state central committee
at the latter's recent meeting in San Fran.
cisco. and through the courage and ability
of w. W. Foote, Gavin McNab, Frank h.
Gould and few other active champions of
clean partisanship, the Vaccinations of
the Buckley-railroad combine were de-
feated. The members of the committee
from outside of San Francisco. almost to q
man. stood out against the scheme to re-
habilitate Buckley. 1t was left to the dele
cation from Los Angeles county to furnish
some exceptions, all but one delegate from
this county seeming to stand with the
forces of the late boss.
But. as has been said, the round before
the state central committee was but the
first. Others are to follow, and it is for
these that the real Democrats of Califor-
mia must prepare. 1t is matter of COM
mon report in political circles that the
Buckley-railroadc crew are laying the plans
whereby they hope to capture sufficient
number of delegates to the Democratic
convention to he held at Sacramento in
June to enable them to either secure the
admission of Buckley's San Francisco
delegation or to create . split in the party
over the planks of the platform that the
convention will be called on to adopt.
The HERALD will give this program some
attention at another time, and the atten-
ton given will be pointed. The HERALD
will hew to the line in this matter of such
vital consequence to the Democratic party,
in the way that it does in all other mat
ters, without regard TO the persons and
the interests that are Uttered with chips.

sEMPER FIDeLIs

Though the golden bowl be broken
That held loves rosy wine,
Though the last fond words be spoken
That held thee once as mine;
Fond memory still will cherish
The dreams so sweet to me.
And till each pulse shall perish
My heart will cling to thee.
Though the silver chord be silent
That thrilled beneath thy hand
AS in far off city
Meath ruined hopes I stand,
Still, vet, where'er wander
Thy beauty shall see,
And as the past ponder,
My heart still clings to thee
All each forgotten token
'Twere vain my love TO toll.
Though the golden bowl be broken,
And the silver chord as well;
Fond memory still wi II cherish
The dream SO sweet to mo,
And till each pulse shall perish
My heart will cling to thee.

THE BUCKLEY RAILROAD
COMBINE

The political situation in California has
again united the venal politicians of all
political professions. These persons con-
tinue to masquerade under the flags OF the
different party organizations SO that by
combines and treasons they can achieve
the results they are paid for. Strikers
working openly and together as venal
body could accomplish only their own dss-
truction and probably would end up
promptly in San Quentin. 1t is only by de-
ceiving the people through apparent oppo-
stion to each other and by constant an.
peals to partisan prejudice that our boss
element keeps out of Jail, for their many
robberies in contracts and expenditures,
and for the degradation of political life
which is undermining the whole moral
foundation OF our freedom and of our gov
ernment.
The machinery of the Republican party
has already been partly captured by these
traitors TO our country. Indeed, were it
not for the political ambition of John
d. Spreckels they would now have the en-
tire Republican organization in hand. The
Democratic party situation is essentially
different. The party organization is in the
hands of courageous and self-respect-
ing men whose souls are owned by no cor.
poration and who are beyond the influence
of corrupt combines. Nevertheless there
are number of the Buckley type in posi-
tions of party trust. The awakening OF this
type is due to fear on the part of Burns,
Kelly and Herrin that many honest Re.
publicans will bolt the present program,
consequently they deem it very necessary
to either divide the Democracy and thus
insure the election of Republican tools,
or else SO control the Democratic primaries
and conventions that men after their own
pattern will secure the party leadership
and become the party's candidates. In
fact, their aim is to absolutely control both
the great political parties of the state, di-
rectly If possible, indirectly if necessary.
The party that cannot be rounded up and
herded into the bosses corral is to be di-
vided and defeated.

To save themselves from being burned,
And live with the elect.
