would not have sent him to represent
US. I feel perfectly disgusted and
that doesn't half express my feel

ings.
DIR. j. S. EAsTMAN-I am greatly dis
appointed and cannot understand what
we are not satisfied. There is nothing in
common between Burns and Assembly
man Wright's district.
E. S. GRAY-Assemblyman Wright has
done wrong. If he wants to know how
we wish him to vote we will at once in
form him. He says some of his constitu-
ents have spoken to him of Burns; For
every one that may have mentioned
Burns there are a hundred opposed to
him. Wright cannot claim to- represent
Berkeley and vote for Burns for United
States Senator.
f. G. CONKLIN-I hardly know what
to say. l am very much astonished.
thought better of Howard Wright than
that. l suppose now we may as Wen
send Burns to the Senate, as we cannot
send him to San Quentin. | feel that
the action of Howard Wright is dis
grace to the State.
L. n. COBBLEDICK-How Wright
would not have got my vote If l thought
he was going to act this way. l think
the whole affair was done as trade.
Burns was probably behind the move
Speakership. Wright is not representing
his district in any way There IS no
question as to that. do not think Cali
Burns. There are plenty of other good
men we could send to the Senate. Burns
has done nothing to recommend MIN be-
sides figuring as political boss. L guess
Howard Wright will not represent the
Fifty-first Assembly District after this
term. The people will not stand for such
actions.
r. H. CHAMBERLAIN am very
much surprised, indeed. think the
change must have been made for some
other purpose than good one, although
| do not want to cast reflections upon Mr..
Wright. / was glad when 1 saw that he
did not vote for Burns in the first two
ballots, and | am very sorry he has gone
over now. The people of Alameda will
suffer for his action. 1t was very fiimsy
excuse for him to say that several of his
constituents had asked him to vote for
Burns. Why don't he stand by himself.
He should have some stamina and back
bone. / think Burns would make very
poor representative of California.
T. H. WAKEFIELD-It is just as ex-
they were nominating when they put
Wright up. He is representing railroad
interests instead of those of the people
ward, and they knew what they were do
ing in nominating Wright. He has not
carried out the supposed wishes, of his
Baker and the railroad people knew how
Wright would stand before they nomi-
NJ. S. Wright ought to be
kicked out of the community. He has
not acted fair to those who elected him.
OF course he went to the Legislature I'M
ment of the district. My opinion is that
neither Grant nor Burns will get elected.
However, of the two, L would prefer
Grant.
PROFESSOR ]. T. wALLACE-It is an
outrage. ] am mortified, as a citizen of
California, when man who Is a graduate
of the State University can fall down like
that. 1t is a disgrace to the State of
California. His going over to Burns will
probably have bad effect on some of
the others. / suppose Wright is repre-
senting race track interests as much as
anything else. He certainly is not repre-
senting the intelligent class in the COM
munity by any means. 1t is shame that
q man will go there and act like that,
district who would be honored by the posi-
ton. In a way | gave my Endorsement
to Wright before his election. | was Sec
rotary of the Anti;,saloon, League when
it indorsed several of the candidates,
Wright among the number.
H NJ. CAMERON-It is certainly an

was expecting it from the way he was
hanging fire. He has in no way expressed
the sentiments of the people of this ward.
further. If Wright was here. though. /
would say more to him. l am afraid
there are more hanging back like Wright
was.
c. H. DAILY was very much aston
ished when l heard Wright had gone over
to Burns. I suppose he had good reasons
for the change; He probably baby owes! owes his his
constituents are pleased with the way
he has acted, although | am sure he made
no pledges. think Wright was honest
are a great many people beginning to
think that Burns has been misrepresented
and that he would probably make a good

disapproval of Wright's action in just as
strong terms as you like. I am exceed
