The San Francisco call., 1907-03-03

'and I don't think that II has stunted
my growth"
Wyatt Of Salinas had received no
kilograms. He thought that the ques-
tion should be submitted to the people
1t would be their money that would
have TO be spent.
Then came the big show. Grove
johnson took the floor 20 close for
Sacramento. Nate Coghlan wanted to
sandwich in a speech between the
final pleas OF Johnson and Phil Walsh,
but Johnson protested and the Speak
er ruled that Coghlan would have to
precede Johnson or save HIS voice.
Coghlan subsided. but with poor
grace.
I've nothing TO say" he remarked.
but we have plenty of votes" His
remarks were illustrated an hour later
when every one Of the eighteen mem
bers from San Francisco voted for
Berkeley.
GROVE LAYS ON WITH AK
Grove Johnson did his best. He be-
gan by announcing that he had been
given a sufficient number Of personal
pledges TO insure the defeat of the
bill. Then he charged with lance and
ak on the friends OF Berkeley.
i care not for fake kilograms sent
at the behest of George r. Hatton,
Jere Burke and Walter Parker" he
cried This IS simply a campaign
based on q desire to take revenge on
Sacramento because her people saw ut
TO give q large majority for Demo
cratic candidate for Governor"
Next he compared Burke. Parker and
HattOn TO the three tailors Of Tooley
street" They, like the famous London
sartorial artists, had decreed them
selves we. the people" and were com
manding the removal Of the seat Of
Government
Getting deeper into personalities.
johnson spoke Of Hatton as the
'Dugald Dalgetty OF California poll
tics" q man who. although not on the
assessment roll Of Alameda County,
was anxious TO present that county
with a State Capital OF Jere Burke
and Walter Parker the champion Of
Sacramento said: They are nice gen
tlemen, but they represent a political
power and not the people. Members
here have been threatened that their
bills would be defeated IL they did
not vote for the removal of the Capt.
tai"
sT DEFY BOSSES he CRIES
A moment later johnson fred his
most resounding broadside. When the
people Of this State ask that this ques-
tion be submitted" he said, Il shall
DOW 10 lneI VIII, out Wueu the OIQeTs
come from paid tools OF a corporation
I spit upon their mandate and defy
them to do their worst"
Johnson next paid his respects to
Senator Willis, speaking of him as the
distinguished Senator who said that
when he went to take a bath IN Sacra-
mento he did not know how to go at it.
NO doubt he never took a bath before
he came TO Sacramento" said John
son. and If the Senator referred TO
would confine himself to drinking wa
ter he would be more healthy than he
is"
Then Hatton came in for another
blow. Johnson referred TO him this
time as the 'Dugald Dalgetty of poll
tics who claims TO carry marshalships
and other Federal Offices in his pocket"
After deploring the prospect of a
capital removal campaign OF villifca-
ton that would sever friendships,
break up families and dismember the
Republican party. Johnson flung Sac
ramento's generosity at the time of the
big fire into the faces of the San Fran
cisco delegation. He told how Sacra-
nento raised $4,000 in three hours,
and turning to the San Franciscaps
mingled rebuke with appeals for sup
port.
PLEADS FOR HELP
In our time. of trouble" he said.

bill is sure to go down TO defeat Come
