HUNTINGTON BUYS
ANOTHER RAILROAD
Trolley Magnate Purchases the
Redlands Central Line,
Under Construction
Now Owns All the Systems in
the San Bernardino
Valley

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. III E.
Huntington, who owns the greater part
of the trolley systems in southern CAL
ifornia, today absorbed another line
which was under construction. the
Redlands Central line. This line was
started by the Fishers. who were
ousted from control of the San Ber-
nardino valley traction line by A. c.
Denman Jr., until today general mana
ger of the system. The Fishers a short
time ago started to build an opposi-
tion system, starting at Grafton and in
tending to build through Redlands to
the junction with the Southern Pacific.
They owned a large percentage of the
stock in the San Bernardino valley
traction company and this interest was
also today purchased by H. E Hunting
ton.
Mr.. Huntington is now the absolute
owner of the trolley systems of the
San Bernardino valley. He is now
building a line to connect this city
with Riverside by way OF Cotton. A.
c. Denman Jr. resigned today. having
disposed of all of his stock to Hunting
ton He is succeeded by Chief Engineer
Kuhrts of Los Angeles. who is the
chief in the engineering department Of
the Huntington properties. The pur-
chase of the Fisher interests today
ends long war between Denman and
the Fishers.

PROMISE TO SMASH
H[RRIN'S MACHINE
Lincoln-Roosevelt League Lead
ers Find Public Sentiment
Against Corrupt Politics
Canvass of Voters Indicates
Victory of Delegates for
Stetson and Rowe

OAKLAND, Aug. LEADERS of the
express the utmost confidence that the
league and its allies have demoralized
the Herrin machine In Alameda county
by the hurricane fight which has been
made against the gang in power here
Public sentiment has crystallized. The
probation of the vital issue. No pri-
mary battle was ever waged in Ala
media county which so forcefully Illus
trated the overwhelming strength OF
popular sentiment once it had been
aroused.
FIGHT AGAINST HERRIN GANG
The league and it's supporters are
making the fight on one issue-clean
cut and unequivocal-that the control
of the republican party in Alameda
county must be wrested from the
hands of Herrin's agents. All other
questions that have arisen have been
subordinated to this principle of action.
The people have a keen appreciation OF
this questio and have not been de-
ceived by the efforts of the machines
representatives, who are struggling to
distract the public mind from reali-
zation of the fact that this is a genuine
battle for the restoration of independ-
ence in the republican party.
CANVASS SHOWS STRENGTH
The last week developed strong
situation all along the line for the men
who are fighting the county ring. This
was especially true in the fifty first as
sembly district. There the league has
made a strong showing in its house to
house canvass, the results of which are
eminently satisfactory That the
league delegates will win for John w.
Stetson and Supervisor Rowe is de-
clared to be certainty. This is Judge
Henry A. Melvin's home territory. but
he has been eliminated as a political
factor by reason of the fact that the
strong position on the removal of the
judiciary from politics as taken by the
league leaves no room for Judge Mel
vim or his friends to concern themselves
as to his nomination.
AGAINST SPOILS SYSTEM
me leagues executive committee has
gone before the people of Alameda
county from the outset insistent upon
the proposition that the spoils Of office
were not a part of its campaign. Quite
the contrary policy was adopted. The
purpose of the leagues campaign has
been strictly adhered to.
