Special to The Washington Herald.
Chicago. June 9.-In spite OF the elab-
crate plans Of the Taft supporters 10
crush out Roosevelt sentiment. delegates
TO the Republican national convention
have begun TO talk like this:
Teddy for a second elective term"
The phrase is on the lips Of Western
men especially. Colorado is Roosevelt
stronghold California, the delegation OF
which was almost instructed fo- Roose-
welt, is represented by delegates that xill
got back OF any movement 10 force the
President 70 run again. The movement
IS going 10 be serious when thousands OF
delegates have reached the city. and .he
effect Of the Taft steam-roller tactics on
the country is made known.
Angered by Steam Roller.
The Taft steam roller has crushed all
the Taft sentiment that ever existed out
OF my State" said a newly-arrived Colo
rado delegate. who did not consent to the
use Of his name. I'VE have never IA
vored the Secretary Of War for Presi-
dent.
He does not represent the principles
We believe in. We know It 10 be A fact
that a big proportion Of Mr.. Tafts SUD-
port Is for him because It Is against
Roosevelt It is getting to be a pretty
strong conviction IN our country that
Roosevelt is the only Republican that
could be elected"
Similar expressions are heard from
delegates from every section Of the West.
1t is the talk in all the Annex headouar-
ters that the Roosevelt sentiment VIII ba
too strong 10 crush without full bear-
Ing when the convention meets.
Senator Lodge is said to, be- prepared
TO make a speech reiterating the Presi-
dents determination not 20 run again
but this is believed 10 be a puerile wean-
on with which 10 oppose the enthusiasm
which is aroused by the mention OF the
old ticket:
Roosevelt and Fairbazks."

JOHNSON IN FIELD TOO LATE
Watterscn Declares Bryan Will Win
on First Ballot at Denver.
Says Common People VIII Prefer
Nebrasl<an to Taft TO Curb
Predatory Trusts.

Chicago. June 9-"The cardinal rule OF
the Democracy is the rule OF the major
ity." declared Col Henry Watterson to-
day, and to that epigram expressing his
opinion Of the present candidacy of Gov.
Johnson, whom he first brought forward
for the Presidential nomination more than
year ago. the Kentucky colonel added
his prediction that Bryan will be nomi-
mated at Denver By the Democrats next
month upon the first ballot and by accla-
nation.
The Louisville editor is on his way to
pass a couple Of days with Bryan at Lin
coin, Nebr., and and he stopped over at
the Auditorium Annex for few hours to-
day TO shake hands with Republican
leaders to whom he is as well known as
h is TO the chieftains Of his own party.
"Johnsons cause is a lost cause" said
the colonel. He is the victim Of pro-
crastination. The introduction Of the
Minnesotan into the Presidential arena
has fallen as fiat as a stale buckwheat
cake. The East is not the part OF the
country from which the advocacy Of
Johnson should have come, and three
months ago was not the time TO espouse
the candidacy Of Johnson.
The necessity OF putting a halter on
these predatory trusts will be the main
issue OF this campaign. and 1 fancy the
strength OF Bryan's candidacy will lie in
the common sense Of the voters OF this
country when asked 10 decide whether
they will trust the Job of bringing the
trusts 10 Bryan or TO candidate who
wears the mask OF Taft. but behind whom
turks the talons Of Hartman. Morgan.

MARTIN VOICES OPPOSITION
TO ASIATlc IMMIGRATION

Replying to former Mayor James D..
Phelan concerning the Asiatic prob
lem, George C. Martin candidate for
the>assembly, writes:
your letter of October 18th. enclos-
ing pamphlet entitled 'Asiatic Immi-
grafton and Japanese Question: came
to hand this morning, for which please
accept my thanks.
st heard your speech delivered be-
fore the City club a month ago, on
this question and was vividly inn
pressed with the remarks you made at
that time.
your statement that schools, thea
ters and churches in some of the fer
tile valleys of California, as well as the
white inhabitants thereof, have prac-
tically disappeared since the intrusion
of the Japanese, seemed to me to pic
ture most clearly the result of Asiatic
immigration into this country, both as
respect to it's influence upon the white
race generally, and the laborer partic-
ularly.
your words certainly carried their
own moral and | do not believe any
thing but a selfish interest will for
minute countenance the admission of
japanese or Chinese into the United
States.
yours truly,

ADVOCATING FREE HARBOR

Martin Tells Negro Bryan Club That
Liberation of San Pedro Ocean
Frontage Will Boom Indus
trial Products

Many colored Republicans attended
the meeting held last night at the
rooms of the Negro Bryan and Kern
club at 751 Central avenue.
George c. Martin, Democratic nom1-
nee for the assembly from the Seventy
first district, made a convincing argu-
ment in favor of free harbor for Los
Angeles under the freehold charter. He
said:
1.-THE figures quoted by Joseph Call
should convince any thinking man that
we will never get free harbor as long
as men who are nominated and con-
trolled by the railroads are sent to
the legislature.
"It is estimated by Mr.. Call that the
amount of tribute levied annually by
the railroads, on Los Angeles county
alone, by means of a rail rate five
times as high as the water rate would
be if we had free harbor, is in the
neighborhood of $20,000,000.
'"That the railroads are able to make
large campaign contributions in the
legislative fights is obvious. That they
do so has not been denied.
ST have been asked to boost our
home products, and 1 take great
pleasure in so doing. Give us a free
harbor and we will have home products
that will astonish people who are not
studying closely the question of what
a harbor means to us.
Before you vote look into the rec
ords of Harmon, Leeds, Stanton and
Transue. See what answer they have
made to the inquiries of the water
ways commission, and remember this,
that the railroad political machine
never cuts the tentacles by which the
men il has nominated, elected and used
to do it's bidding have been bound"

LATEST NEWS AND NOTES OF LOCAL POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
DEMOCRATS WILL CARRY COUNTY
BY $500, DECLARES NORTON

that Bryan will carry California by
about $4,000 majority.
This is not guess work, but comes
from accurate polling. | find myself
in talking among my friends, that two
out of every five Republicans are go
ing to vote the straight Democratic
ticket
Bryan should be elected because he
is in favor of allowing the people to
rule and not the trusts.
Because it would end the rule of Joe
Cannon in the house of representatives.
"The passage of the. bank guarantee
law would forever end the runs on
banks. and consequently do away with
financial panics. There would be no
necessity hereafter to issue scrip or
curtail the amount that a depositor
could draw from his bank to a paltry
$40 or $25.
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic platforms realize that a revision
of the tariff is necessary. The Re
publicans have been in power for
twelve years and have not revised the
tariff: they cannot be depended upon
to revise it in 1909.
I'm order to have a proper revision
of the tariff it is not only necessary to
elect a Democratic president, but to
elect a Democratic legislature.
For these reasons and many others,
Mr.. Bryan should receive the vote of
every fair-minded man and l think he
will ="

DUTY FORCES HIM TO
WORK FOR DEMOCRATS
Professor Handey Explains That,
Though a Lifelong Republican,
He Will Vote for
Bryan

Professor L. E. Handley, who oc-
cupies the chair of philosophy at Oc-
cidental college, was the speaker at
a meeting of the Pasadena Bryan and
Kern club last night, at which Robert
NJ. Furlong presided
The professor explained that he al
ways had voted the Republican ticket
up to the present and had been a
warm advocate of the Lincoln -Roose-
Welt faction in this state at the recent
primaries.
When the power of Walter Parker
proved too strong for the reform fac
ton Professor Handley decided that
the question of government here was
larger than the question of party. He
decided he could not wait for another
effort to purify the Republican party,
but must vote now with the party
that is free from corporate domina-
ton" as he expressed it.
He declared that all other Republi-
cans this year would best support the
true principles of Republicanism by
voting for Bryan.
The rest of his speech dealt largely
with national issues. The Socialist
tent in which the meeting was held,
was filled to overflOwing and the
speaker made a special hit by his dis
cussion of the question of Asiatic inn
migration.
