ing at 1865 Twenty-third avenue, is
good Republican who voted,
worked and shouted for Howard
Wright during the last campaign.
At that time he considered Wright
one of the best men available for the
high honor of Assemblyman, and he
regarded him as a man standing al
ways on the side of the people. Here
is what he said to-day:
eff Howard Wright thinks more
of the Railroad Push tnan he does
of the people hewa sent to represent,
all right; but he will find out his mis-
take very soon. If the Lord will only
forgive me for voting for Wright I
will never do so again. I am really
sorry that Wright has voted for
Burns for Senator and his action has
caused the biggest kind of a surprise
in this district"
j. W. EVANS-I never supposed that
Wright would vote for Dan Burns. Really
l can't see now where the inducement
came in for him to do so. ] have felt
great pleasure in the fact that he was
not voting for Burns, and | presume
every DOuy else III IDlS ulSIT1CC lett l1he-
wise. l don't understand why he changed,
nor does anybody else know. | am really
sorry he did so, and l am confident that
if he should run for the Assembly to-mor-
row, the people knowing what they do
now, he could never again be elected. |
do not like to denounce Wright, for 1
do not know his motives OF late l have
heard that Wright might be found on the
side of Burns and that Burns secured him
the Speakership, but 1 would not be-
lieve it.
District Attorney-If Dan Burns has the
SeQatorship he must have had the votes
to give to Howard Wright for the Speak
ership. OF course, when the people voted
for Wright, Dan Burns was not thought
of for Senator. ] still hope for the best,
and it wouldn't surprise me If the work
of The Call and Chronicle will yet result
in the election of a man like General
Barnes.
". c. MASON, 366 East Fourteenth
street, didn't suppose he would vote for
Wright does not represent this district.
and if he should run for the Assembly to-
morrow there wouldn't be a corporal s
guard who would vote for him, knowing
he was for Dan Burns. l think Wright
might have discussed his position on the
United States Senatorial fight when he
first came out for the Assembly, and then
VIE would have known what to do.
REV. c. M. HILL, Pastor of the
Tenth Avenue Baptist Church, re-
gard it disgrace that a county of
Alameda's standing, intellectually
and morally, should be betrayed by
any Of it's representatives voting for
such a man as Colonel Dan Burns. !
consider that the election of a man
like Burns to the United States Sem
atorship would be shame and dis
grace to the civilization of California.
Surely, cannot see how Asseblyman
Wright can feel that he represents
the convictions of the people of this
district when he casts his ballot for
Dan Burns. 1t is shameful.
REV. J. R. KNODELL, pastor of Pill
grim Congregational Church, have no
use for any man WHO will DELHI
Burns for United States Senator That
is my opinion summed up as brief as
possible. l am chairman of a reform or
ganization, and know how the good peo-
pie feel in this matter. We all worked so
zealously for Howard Wright's election to
the Assembly that we now feel disguised
United States Senator. know that we
would not have done so had we enter
tanned any idea that Wright was going to

least, and l do not see how those who
have spoken and written so favorabIy of
Wright can conciliate matters. l think
now that Wright should be hit as hard as
possible. Yet, when / come to look back
and consider how easily Howard Wright
walked into the Speakership, don't you
know it seemed very strange and even
suspicious? There can be no doubt but
that the Burns camp knew where he stood
all the time.
REV A T NFEDHAM nastor IF

Any man who votes for Daniel NJ.
Burns to represent California in the
United States Senate does not, yea, he
cannot, voice the sentiment Of this dis
trict, and If Howard Wright has done this
it is disgraceful. If the Republican party
votes for and indorses for United States
Senator such a man as Dan Burns it
BODIES party ruin. The party is doomed
to certain ruin if it indorses Burns,
REV. w. W. FREAR, Represent
ing the Congregational Foreign Mis-
sionary Work on the Pacific Coast
Wright's action in supporting Dan
Burns for United states Senator is a
shame and a disgrace to this district.
DR.. w. J. WILCOX-To say that 1 am
surprised is putting it mildly. Why, |
thought from the start that Wright was
for Farnes Nothing was ever further
from my mind than to realize that Wright
haS voted fol- Burns. | think II was moth
ing less than foolish on his part BY his
action in this contest Wright shows
