REDWOOD CITY, Aug. sO.-A great

players. So far as this city is con-
cerned Lady Windemere will hide be-
hind something more opaque than her
fan and the glittering epigrams of the
Oscar Wilde play without action will
twinkle unobserved. Redwood City will
not attend. 1t is not that the socialistic
immoralities which Wilde liked to ex-
ploit would be offensive to suburban
tastes, but because Redwood City So
ciety refuses to take a back seat. All
the good seats are reserved for more
favored communities. and the only sec
tions selling here are those close TO the

City refuses to get in the draft of the

This action is nothing but an
attempt on the part of the inde-
pendence league to defeat my re-
nomination for district attorney,
because / refused to turn the city
government over to the league.
This former convict, Daniel
O'Connell, who is one of the stats
in the armament of the league,
came to me at the time the situa-
ton had so developed that the
city government was in my hands,
and said, in substance:
Fill up every Office with in
dependence league men; appoint
an independence league mayor
throw out all this crew and put
in league men everywhere, and
the league will go ahead with leaps and
bounds
Il refused. telling him the one thing
was interested in was the prosecu-
tion, and 1 wanted to do nothing but
run my own office. Therefore, the
league is out to beat me for renomina-
tion."
This was part Of a sensational reply
made by District Attorney Langdon
last night to an attack by William r.
Hearst launched yesterday under the
guise of a suit filed by Daniel O'Con-
nell and John L. PoMto, two of Hearst's
heelers, to restrain Auditor Horton and
Treasurer Bantel from paying the sal
aries of some of the employees in Lang
don's Office Hitherto, Langdon has not
opened his lips for publication on the
subject of his denomination. The fling
of this suit ended his silence.
Il had been advised that this attack
would be made" he went on. This
is only one of a thousand attacks ]
expect for the next six weeks, and
they will come ip various forms. be-
cause every cur that barks on the
street will snap at your heels in cam
paign matters. The remnants of the
independence league. as represented by
such cattle as O'Connell and Polito, are
evidently displeased at my conduct of
affairs as they have developed in the
last several weeks, and this is one of
the ways they have of attacking the
district attorney. That is all there
Is to the suit.
