RETURNS CONFIRM
CLAIMS OF LEAGUE
Boast of Machine Leaders That
Herrin Will Control Is
Against Facts

AS the primary election returns come
in from all parts of the state, the
claim OF the Lincoln- Roosevelt league
leaders that they will have a big ma
jority in the state convention receives
more and more confirmation.
Machine leaders are making the boast
that their big chief. William F. Herrin.
viii be able to command enough fol-
lowers to organize the convention in
favor of his program. but this asser-
tion is at wide variance with the facts.
From Eureka. the home of Governor
Glllett, whom Herrin would have liked
TO send TO the national convention as
a delegate at large, Charles P. Cutten,
a member of the state executive COM
mittee OF the league. sends the cheering z
message that the league Is sure of a
majority of the IS delegates appor-
toned 10 Humboldt county.
Cutten further states that the league
will secure majority Of the deleg gates
who have been appointed in northern
IS no more than is warranted by the
facts. Delegates whom the machine
confidently believed TO be programmes
have already signified their intention
of voting with the Lincoln- Roosevelt
league- Some OF these have been lureo
through the magic of victory, while
others merely respond to their best po-
litical instincts. which have been
lethargic in other years when hostility
70 the machine seemed futile.
Napa county has been considered an
organization stronghold, but there are
indications that the league will secure
some of the nine delegates 10 the state
convention who will be elected at the
county convention which meets there
tomorrow
The same situation has developed
in other parts of the state and those
who were disposed TO doubt whether
the league could count on 400 Of the
62s delegates who will assemble in
Sacramento are beginning TO admit that
this figure is no exaggeration. but a
reasonable forecast of the result.

DELEGATES READY
TO BEAT MACHINE
Majority of Humboldt County
Ticket Favors League Fight
Against Herrin Methods
BY C. p. Cutfen

EUREKA, May Tt is my opinion,
gathered from the reports that have
come to humboldt. that the Lincoln
Roosevelt league has secured enough
delegates to give it control of the next
state convention.
I do not concede that every delegat tie
who has been appointed by the machine
will follow the machine. In northern
appointed in most counties, 1 believe
the Roosevelt league should
secure majority.
In Humboldt county Judge G. w.
Hunter put up a ticket composed of
men who will strive for his nomination.
This ticket is composed of both ma
chine and anti-machine republicans and
was not selected for the purpose of
sending either machine or nti-machine
men to the convention. It is my opinion
that majority of this delegation of
is men will be favorable TO the league
in its fight against the methods of the
Herrin organization.
| am firm believer in the political
integrity OF the delegates from the
country. Often they vote wrong, but
it is generally because there is no or
ganized opposition TO machine domina-
tion or else the issue has been con-
fused. They are usually men who hold
good positions in their respective COM
munities. but are not trained politi-
clans. They are often handled because
of their lack of political knowledge
This year l think, the rank and file
of the party are awake to the issues and
I shall be greatly disappointed if the
country delegates do not flock to the
standard of the league.

RECORD OF JEROME
Mentions Thaw as Only Rich
Man He Had Prosecuted
With Success

NEW YORK. May 7.-District Attor-
ney Jerome. testifying in his own de-
Tense in connection with the charges of
dereliction which have been preferred
against him. today said that the nearest
he ever came to sending a wealthy man
to jail was in having one of them COM
mitted to an asylum.
You mean Harry Thaw?r asked At
torney Pierce. for the complainants
Yes. Thaw's the man.. responded
Jerome.
You forget Al Adams" inter1ected
Assistant District Attorney Keisel.
oh. yes."f replied Jerome. so 1 do.
bat he had only two and a half or three
millions He was not one of the big
fellows
Taking up the question of political
campaign contributions, Pierce asked
what justification there could be for
making contributions TO either political
party in 1904.
Jerome replied.
How could the economic doctrines
affect the insurance casess" he was
asked.
Well the New York Life. the Mutual
and the Equitable held between them
some $1,000. 0oO.0 900 worth Of securities.
There was an opinion on the part OF
President Mccall that panic would
follow Parker's election and you can
hgure to what per cent depreciation
on the $1,000. 600. 900 would amount
Taking up the matter of the $40. 900
which was paid by George W. Perkins
TO the Nylic organization of agents In
the New York life insurance company,
Pierce asked the district attorney if he
regarded 1t as loan.
Not exactly" Jerome replied
Didn't you know that the charter Of
the company absolutely prohibited Per-
kins from turning that money over TO
the Nylic fund.-?
Il did not know; the charter is not
very exciting literature"
Jerome said that in FIVE years he had
personally conducted three trials, one
of them resulting in a conviction. He
was questioned regarding his relations
with Thomas f. Ryan of the Metropoli-
tan street railway company
Since last November" asked Mr..
Pierce, have you not used all your in
fluence TO prevent the indictment Of
Thomas F. Ryan,"
That statement is mendacious and
you know that it is" replied the dis
trict attorney, who insisted that he had
done all that he could to secure indict-
ments in the WaH-Cortland streets

taken until tomorrow.
