HAYES TREACHERY PUNISHED
From the Stockton Record

Before the primary election on the
fifth of this month, the republican
county central committee of Santa
Clara county went over solidly to the
Lincoln Roosevelt league and the dele
gates from Santa Clara county were
instructed as Lincoln Roosevelt Iearue
delegates. j. o. Hayes went to Sac
ramento and is accused of having
worked in the interests of the Herrin
machine to get 10 of the Santa Clara
county delegates to vote the machine
ticket. Now comes the crushing de-
feat of the Hayes machine in San Jose
and the repudiation OF the Hayes
brothers In Santa Clara politics. It
will have very difficult Job in get
ting himself reelected to congress-
even with the help Of the Herrin or.

RED Hayes TreaChery and
The Swift Penalty
HAYES BROTHERS aGoT rHE1Rsn
From the Oakland ENQUIRER

.cfS>s.7t. From The Oakland Enquirer
In common political parlance the
Hayes brothers, the political bosses Of
San Jose. got what was coming to
them when the independent ticket,
headed by Charles W. Dawson, was
elected with q single exception. Davi-
son polled 8S8 votes more than his
competitor. Samuel G. Tompkins,
named by the Hayes faction. This is
said to be the largest majority ever
given a mayoralty candidate, and this
despite the desperate efforts of E. A.
allies.
The result of this election is con-
elusive evidence of the waning power
of the Hayes brothers in Santa Clara
county. Dawson not only polled a
solid labor vote, but received q large
silent vote of conservative republic
ans and democrats, who wanted to see
Santa Clara county released from boss
rule.
The result in San Jose is a clear
indication of the temper of the people
In California. Give the people a chance
at the polls and they will make short
work of the political bosses in Cali
fornia.

But for the treachery of Congress-
