The Clerks Fight
The attack made by the Republican organ
upon County Clerk T. E. Newlin, in which
he was criticized for employing Miss Edith
Jamison, a sister-n-law of Superintendent
Muir of the Southern Pacific, has rallied
many friends to Newlin's standard wht
were before lukewarm in his support. The
young lady is the most expert clerk in this
city in her line of work, and was appointed
solely because Of that fact. Friends of the
lady say that the Republican organ failed
to mention that A. NJ. McPherron, who
was appointed at the personal request o!
General H. G.. Otis, has held position In
Mr.. Newlin's Office for four years at 8

during his illness.
Democrats will have something to say
about the county clerks Office" said one OF
the leaders OF the fusion party yesterday
hut We Will not attack Observation-Disclosures
because Newlin has helped his sick en-
ployes. We will attack him as an official,
leaving personalities to the Republicans.
We will beat him, all right. but we will do
It without throwing mud.''
And all this is weakening Bells strength
and helping Newlin in the fight for the
nomination.
