OEVLIN IS READY
To PROCEED

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-President
Roosevelt, Senator Perkins and United
States District Attorney Devlin OF San
Francisco had long talk this morn
ing over the Japanese school question.
we have decided on our plan OF ac-
sion.' said Mr. Devlin. after the con-
ference in the Presidents office. ''and
I expect TO go back 10 San Francisco
within two or three days. What Is our
plan2 Well, ] can hardly tell that
without showing my hand. II there is
anything TO be made public regarding
the legal procedure we expect the At
torney General viii give il out"
Attorney General Bonaparte only
smiled when he was asked to talk about
TIA matter.

of the subject and to do that which
/ shall conclude will be for the best
interests of the people of our State.
Senator Kennedy has not had the
same amount of legislative experience
ment of his colleague, Wolfe. Sena-
tor Kennedy is in favor of a direct
primary election law. He wants to
vote for it. If a constitutional amend
ment is necessary he is for that too.
FAvoRS DIRECT PRIMARY
In the same spirit of fairness to
Senator Kennedy and his constituents
shown Senator Wolfe and his con-
stituents, Senator Kennedys answer
to The Calls inquiries is given YER
batim He said:
II am in favor of the direct pri-
mary. If constitutional amendment
is necessary to secure it, am in favor
of such amendment, but hope we will
not have to wait so long for the need
ed reform as will be required to Sc
cure amendment to the constitution" I"
In fine, one member of the San
Francisco delegation, which consists
of nine Senators and eighteen Assem-
blymen, is in favor of and can rea-
sonably be relied upon to vote for
the submission of the necessary con-
stitutional amendment. Fortunately
for the people, that ratio is not main
tanned throughout the State. But the
number of Senators and Assembly
men who since election have been
willing to renew personally the party
pledges made before election is small
enough to justify The Call in its pre-
viously uttered warning to the people
-unceasing vigilance is the price of
success in this fight for their rights.
Believing it to be but justice to those
Senators and Assemblymen who are
willing to perform their duty and to
the constituents of all the, members
of both the Senate and Assembly, The
Call appends herewith excerpts from
some of the letters received from leg

SHOWS PATERNITY
OF CHILDREN

SALT LAKE CITY. Jan. George
P. Hoover, the Washington attorney
who has been retained in defense Of
Mrs Anna NJ. Bradley. the slayer of
former Senator Arthur Brown, depart
ed for Washington this evening, having
in his possession. formal written
statement made by Arthur Brown in
1906 in which he acknowledged the pa
ternity of two Of. Mrs. Bradley's chill
dren. 1t names Arthur Brown Bradley
and Mark Montgomery Brown Bradley
specifically and declares that these are
my children by Anna NJ. Bradley"
These are the children whom Brown
specifically disowned in his last will.
Attorney Hoover secured other mate
rial to be used in Mrs. Bradleys de-
fense at Washington.

of some of the direct primary States,
but while so engaged | concluded
that all we could do at the next ses-
sion was to propose a constitutional
amendment"
Senator Anderson unequivocally
promises to vote for the submission
of an amendment.
Senator Leroy A. Wright, San
Diego, who will support proposition
for constitutional amendment, has
evidently given direct primary cleo
tions more than cursory attention, to
the end that he has sound views as to
the provisions of the law the people
of California hope to secure ultimate
ly. He says in part:
The sentiment in favor of nomina-
tons by direct primaries is growing
rapidly in this State, and California
must soon fall in line with Oregon,
Wisconsin and other commonwealths
adopting the primary system as a
fixed policy. In adopting such law
care should be taken to protect the
candidate against too heavy expense,
so that public offices will be within
the reach of the poor as we'll as the
rich; a majority should be required
to nominate rather than a plurality
vote. The purity election laws should,
with some notifications, be made to
apply to primary elections, and party
registration should be provided for. A
constitutional amendment, under the
decisions of our Supreme Court, is ab-
solutely necessary to the enactment of
valid primary law
WANTS NECESSARY REFORM
Senator John G. Mattos, Centerville
"I am in favor of the submission to
the people of an amendment to the
constitution that will authorize the
Legislature to pass direct primary
law that will effect the necessary re-
form in our election laws"

BELsHAw FOR PEOPLE

Senator c. NJ Belshaw: "I am in
favor of the submission of constitu-
tional amendment amply broad
enough to permit the enactment of a
comprehensive direct primary election
law. Such law should provide for
the direct nomination of candidates
for public office by the people and
yet be not too cumbersome or ex-
pensive"
Senator Belshaw has given the sub
ject of direct primary elections con-
siderable thought, and while he has
not settled upon any set plan for a
proposed law, that is largely because
he believes nothing can be done in
the way of direct primary legislation
Until after the constitution has been
amended
Senator A. E. Boynton, Oroville:
During the campaign promised that
if elected I would favor direct pri-
mary election law. Such law seems
to work satisfactorily in some of the
Eastern States, and | shall certainly
urge and vote for the adoption of a
similar law in this State. l am not
sufficiently advised in the premises at
this time to know whether it will re-
quire a constitutional amendment If
it does, | will favor the submission
of such an amendment to the people

Call of December seems to cover the
ground quite fully. | have saved the
same for future reference"

CAPTAIN DENTON is DEAD.
One Of GainesVille's Old and HiqhIy
Honored Citizens Passed Away.

From Tuesdays Daily sun
One of the saddest deaths to occur
in this city or section for many years
was that OF Captain Henry c. Denton,

afternoon Of a complication OF diseas.
es, after an illness of only a few days.
Deceased was about siNty-cight
years Of age, and was one Of the most
Widely.knUwn and most popular men
in the county For the past sixteen
years, up to about four years ago, he
has been holding the trusts of public
office, and could have been re-.
elected had he not relinQuishrd
his right for the benefit Of friends
whom he considered deserving. If
anything he was a grateful and CON.
sideratc man, and in his declining
years he considered the service rem
dered him by others, and surrendered
his rights and assisted those to whom
he felt that he was indebted.
Mr. Denton was first elected as tax
collector After serving four years in
this responsible position he was hon
ored by the people As clerk of the cir
cult court, which position he held
that could be asked, as soldier in
