THE HARM DONE.

DisapproVal, more Vi i
qualified, or the greatest condem-
nation marks the general attl-
tude towards the action OF the
State Central Committee last
week by both press and people.
It's only approval comes from the
Boss Apologist, the Daily Pea
vune. Even the virile DAILY
States making conciliatory utter
ance concerning the broadspread
disafection, speaks more in sor-
row than in anger OF the re
bellious threats made by Demo
Gratis.
Tn our opinion, the Commit
tees action has done great injury
to the party, and has swept away
with one stroke the pioneer work
done for the establishment OF
the primary election in this
state. Democrats will not vote
in a primary wherein they have
no guarantee of a fair show.
Self-respecting men will not
~ n
spend their time and money IN a
campaign for office, when they
have no assurance that they Will
not be outclassed by candidates
having more pull with the ma
chine.
The primary has been knock
ed over like a house of cards, OF
blown along like a child's kite il
a summer wind. With almos
prophetic sight did the peerless
Lawrason, in his campalg1
speeches, iterate and reiterat
that the primary had many falls
friends, that as means for pur
elections it had secret Opposltlo
at court. Did he speak bette
than he knew? Possibly, for n
could not have foreseen that tn
hardest blow at the primar
would be struck in our highes

MAYORS FRIENDS INDIGNANT
OVER A. D. WARMERS ATTACK

Mayor Harpers friends were indig-
nant last night at the attack OF Adam
d. Warner on him and disputed the
assertions of Warner in his speech.
They said Warner had distorted the
facts and had constructed situations
out of his imagination and was seek
ing by every means to discredit the
mayor because the mayor had been
unable to make Warner a delegate TO
the national convention.
County Chairman SchWamm SAID
last night: Warner is showing his
vindictiveness and l am surprised that
the Democratic league, an organiza-
ton that l respect and that has much
usefulness in the Democratic party,
should listen to his unfounded state
ments. Warner vents his spleen
against Mayor Harper because he has
been disappointed in not being sent
to the national convention as dele
gate from this district. Mayor Harper
asked me to give my support to War
ner The mayor said he had promised
to help Warner to be delegate, but l
refused to support warner because l
knew that, less than two years ago,
he had tried to become a member of
the Republican league.
HE vents his spleen on Nathan Cole
and brands him as political corrup-
ZIONIST, but | may be surprising the
public when 1 tell them that A. d.
Warner voted for Nathan Cole for
delegate at large at the Fresno con-
vention. He was a member of my
delegation and know 1t. If Cole is
all that Warner says he is why did
he not take the platform and condemn
him at Fresno?
"As a matter of fact Warner is only
trying to asperse the characters Of the
mayor and Cole because he could not
be a delegate to Denver. That Is the
whole trouble with him, and the
charges he makes against the mayor
are baseless and wild distortions Of
the truth.
