LOS ANGELES, May o.-How the
Herrin machine has debauched the
politics of California was shown up in
all its hideousness today by Marshall
Stimson, a prominent and wealthy at
torney and member of the state CEN
trail committee of the Lincoln -Roose-
welt league.
In speaking at the City club lunch
con Stimson told of his experiences
in standing for an honest ballot when
he worked with the regulars" and
named many instances of crooked
work by heelers OF the organization.
TT may be only a coincidence that
Walter Parker is the acknowledged
boss Of the republican party in south
ern California" he said, "and that he
is also land tax agent Of the Southern
Pacific. II may be also another coin
cidence that Judge Mckinley. chairman
Of the notorious Santa Cruz convention,
is an attorney for the Southern Pacific
in Los Angeles.
1T may be only another coincidence
that .. C. McGarvin is chairman of the
republican city central committee and
an attorney for the Southern Pacific
in Los Angeles.
1T may be only coincidence that
the head and front Of the party in the
state. Wnlism f. Herrin, is the head
and front Of the legal department of
the Southern Pacific and direct repre-
sentative Of T. H. Hartman in Cali

The Independent press Of California
is voicing the exultation of true repub-
licanism over the victory won at the
primaries by the Lincoln Roosevelt
league. Newspapers in all parts of the
state that gave valuable support to
the good cause while the event was
still in doubt are now engaged in
analyzing the result.
These newspapers. including all the
press of the state except the few or
gans of Herrinism, which ridiculed the
league before the battle and are now try
ing impotently to sneer its victory into
a defeat, are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the primaries of last Tues
day emancipated the state from the
control Of the Southern Pacific.
They agree that political move
ment which has gathered the tremen-
dous momentum exhibited by the
LincoIn- Roosevelt league cannot be
stopped. but Will sweep onward until

VICTORY IS DECISIVE

The Fresno Republican has this tt
say of the victory in San Francisco:
THE places where the league VIC
tory is won are no less significant
than the magnitude of the victory
itself. They are the important
strategic points OF California, the
very points on which the machine
has always counted for control.

smaller places, all these have gone
for the league In San Francisco

victory is decisive, after the hot

out the largest primary vote ever
known in the history of these
cities. After the chaos in which

.BossEs PEAR pEoPLE

After commenting on the fact that
with one conspicuous exception, The
Call. practically the entire press of San
Francisco was arrayed on the SIDE OF
the interests, the higherups, Herrin
and the maehine," the Oakland En-
quirer continues in this strain:
The fact that Herrin and his po-
litical satraps and sub b-b0sses fear
the people is shown by their claim
TO the control of S93 appointed
delegates out of 629, composing the
convention This claim is based
upon the assumption that these del
egates are not men but are chat
tells owned body and soul by Herrin-
Such a claim is an admission that
the organization denied the right
of representation, voice, choice and
election to the people In the hope of
holding control OF the convention.
IF it is true, which is extrtmely
doubtful, that these delegates VIII
take orders ii means that by CHI
canery, evasion. fraud and denial
of the rights of representation

litical combination has attempted

N0N-PARTIsAN CONVENTIONS.

Wednesday evening in Salt Lake
non-partisan conventions to select
candidates for the Salt Lake city
school board will be held in the First
precinct at the Ninth ward annex
ann in the Second precinct at the
Sixth ward assembly hall.
Calls have gone out for these mass
conventions addressed to all people
interested in keeping the schools out
OF politics. The five retiring members
Of the board are c. S. Martin, first
ward: A.. G. Giauque, Second ward;
Oscar w. Moyle, president of the
board, Third ward; Mathonhah
Thomas. Fourth ward: and Joseph
Oberndorfer, Fifth ward
The plan Of the american" party
is to turn the schools into political
machine. by seeking to nominate can
Gidates form each ward. to replace
these officials, except in the Fifth
ward, from which Mr.. Orbendorfer
may be made the american canhi-
date. The present sentiment of the
mon PARTISAN movement is to re-
nominate as candidates those now
serving so that the board may be
maintained in its present state OF
efficiency.
