II heard from uncle this morning, the
| first time for a week. said Mr.. Blinker
Murphy, as he handed the flower boy
half dollar for a button-ho pink
and told the lad to keep the change.
He says that he amt a-going to bother
me no more about refunding, and that
the government can go ahead and fore
| close and run the Seepee for all he
cares. Coils is pretty near all broke
up, and it wouldn't surprise me much
| If he'd throw up his job as president
when he comes back. He says he's got
one of them tired feelings. I've wired
him, What's the use of crying when you
wipes the tears away?'
There was just one thing in his let
ter what goes to show that there's some
| ginger left in Coils yet. What was it?
Why, he tells me that Colonel Fred
| mustn't be beaten under no circumstan-
ces. He suggests that we give him all
the advertising what we can. One of his
ideas is to get Vining to print on all
them street-car transfers Vote for G.
F. Crocker for elector.' Amt that a
corl1er? Say, don't that show that uncle
amt a-harboring no ill-feelings against
Fred, and that the Espee is bound to-
gether by loving ties? Herrin and Mill
sey and Stubs won't do nothing to
Freddy in November.
Putting Fred's name on them trans
fers reminds me of a grand stand play
what Walter Moore made when he was
a-running for secretary of state, Wal
ter thought it would be good thing to
advertise himself we'll. So he goes and
gets lot of big posters, about nine feet
long and six feet wide, and has them
pasted up at every polling-place in Los
Angeles. On election day he was In
the Third ward a-hustling for votes
when fhrQo hoi iro
with their tickets in their hands all made
up. AS the first one was a-going to give
up his paper, the third mark in the
line says, appointing to one of Walters
posters. Hold on, brothers, there's one
phillerstine we forgot to scratch
II see Maize Mclaughlin is a-having
hard time to select them Republican
committees. I've been Recommending
that he appoint Con O'Conner to har-
monize the Apays, Nicholson to harmon
ize the Wyemeyes and John Dough to
harmonize the Eyowe Beebees If that
wouldn't straighten things out in the
party 1 don't know what would.
Il see Sam Shortridge don't want to
be no school director. Well, 1 always
told you that he amt one Of them grasp
ing kind of geeserS. He was a-telling me
the other day how he's a-going to ele-
vate the bar and bench. He don't intend
to monkey with politics, only a little bit.
perior Judges elected next November
what he and Delmas can trust and
what can't be Influenced by no corpor-
ations. Oh, yes; that would suit the
Espee to a dot. We don't care a bean
if we loses all our damage suits. And
there's all the other lawyers in town.
They're just dead crazy to have Sam
name all the superior judges. You see,
most of the Bar association is over
worked, and that would give them ar
opportunity to lay off for awhile and eat
grass.
"Say, heard tough thing the other
day on our judicial system. A lawyer
was a-giving me a song and dance about
how his heart was bleeding over the way
he had to try cases. Some time ago.
he says, L had a big suit on hand and my
clients told me they wanted to win at
any cost. They gimme leave to get the
best attorney in town to help me. After
thinking long time comes to the con-
clusion to take either John CARRIER or
Harry Lowenthal. After laying awake
all night makes up my mind that Lo-
wenthal woud be the most useful
How did it come out?' I asked. I win,'
he says.
"The pollies over in Alameda is hav-
ing a great time all around, amt they?
For small crowd they can use more
bad language than any gang ever run
across. Billy Foote says Daggett can't
ride in the same Pullman with him, and
John of the Mint says that him and
John Pirish wouldn't be seen at dog
fight with Doubleyou Doubleyou. Just
see how things flop around. A few
months ago Foote was a-calling that
Deputy Labor Commissioner 'Cleve' and
now he's talking about him as goddam.
who's a-going to go to congress in
that district? Well, 1 guess the Espee
will be behind Populist Gibson when the
time comes. Gage won't let Hillborn go
back nohow. We don't take much stock
in Frick and Bassett amt in it a little
bit.
tom McCaffrey tells me that George
Patton don't want to run in the Sixth
district no more against McLachlan.
There's fellow down there named Dill
Ion who is a-looking for the Populist
nomination and wants the Democrats to
indorse him. I wired Tom that we didn't
want to take no chances, and for him to
see that they puts up q straight out
Democrat. Tom says he thinks he can
pull out about twelve delegates for Buck
and the Espee at the primary.
IT'S a-looking now as though we
would be able to give Barham the rub
berneck over in the First. If we sue
ceed in throwing him down, guess We'll
let Frank MCGOWAN have the nominal
tion. Then If we can get the Demo-
Gratis to nominate Tom Geary We'll put
the spurs into Frank and pay off a few
debts we owes him in that way. Uncle
would like to see Tom back in Washing
ton. He says he's a good man and no
hog.
II see Hax Pepper has been a-looking
for man for congress in San Jose. He
told ex-District Attorney Shelter he
could have the San Francisco delegates
if he wants them.
well, good-by. I've got to go up and
see Chris and find out how many passes
he wants to Sacramento for his business
men."-San Francisco Examiner.
