MAKE NELSON ASSIST
RumOr Says Boss Promised Job
for Aiding Burnett

Johnnie Nelson republican boss of
the forty fifth and late state senator.
is engaged just now in plotting Lester
g. Burnett through the district and in
PRODUCING him to the voters. AS Nelson
was an eager aspirant for the nomi-
nation for state senator. which Bur-
nett captured with the aid of John G.
Lynch. simple minded republicans
point TO Johnnie's" activity as an evi-
dence of the sort of harmonious feel
ing that should exist between the vic
tor and the vanquished in political
fight. But the wise ''pollies' are spread
Ing. different story
Nelson, they gossip, was very back
ward about coming forward in Bur-
his desk in the county clerks Office and
his nights I'm tie bosom of his family,
while burnett went 1T alone through
the forty-fifth. Nelson put in few
good licks for his friend, Louis Parente,
who Is running for the assembly, but
he was conspieuously short on Burnett
enthusiasm.
When this state of affairs was no.
ticed In Cow Hollow there were few
Indignation meetings Horace Perazzi
was appointed a committee of one to
wait on Johnnie" Nelson and demand
his support. This is the way Perazzi is
SAID to have addressed the little sena-
ter:
See here, Johnnie, If you want to get
that Job on the water front you better
get busy and help us to elect Burnett.
S.oAiiC Jul VI your lTdiCt anu remember
that. the election is getting close at
hand. How do you expect Johnnie
Lynch to use his influence for you IL
you don't help the boys? If you want
that job on the front, you've got to
earn ii. So get busy
There have been tantalizing rumors
from time to time that Nelson is going
to succeed Captain J. f. Petzinger as
superintendent of tugs and dredgers
So far 1t is only rumor. but it is a
good job and pays $2,400 a year. so
Nelson is not overlooking any chances

among the push by refusing to use his
court to advance the cause.
Two men out of every three asso-
ciated with the campaign remotely or
Immediately are in the forecasting
business. It's a stupid politician who
can not at an instants notice furnish
a complete and convincing table fore
casting the results of the election with
elaborate and mathematical exactness.
Admitting that all the forecasters are
of more than average excellence in
their chosen calling, r. L. Mann.
lawyer and democrat, who refused to
be statesman, is in a class by him
self
Mann declined the democratic nomi-
nation to the assembly in the fortieth
district because he did not care to be
the victim of the harmonizing methods
of the Bell and McNab factions in a
republican year. Mann had another
reason. but it was not made public
until yesterday. Mann was engaged in
electing Bryan and could not be dis
turbed. He completed the job yester-
day.
COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM
Mann has a system as comprehensive.
simple and practicable as any of the
systems for breaking the bank at Monte
Carlo. 1t is all matter of figures, and
having mastered the basis principle any
schoolboy in combination with ream
of note paper and bundle of lead pen
ellis could elect Brigadier General Har-
rison Gray Otis president of the fedora
tion Of labor Mann found the basis
OF his computations in the election re-
turns for 1908 in Maine and Arkansas.
The first lead pencil he wore out
showed conclusively to him that the
republicans had suffered net loss of
31.6 per cent in Maine and that the
democrats had made a net gain of 16
per cent in Arkansas.
Combination of the two and applica-
tion of the gross to the election re-
turns Of four or 40 years ago gave
Bryan 3S9 electoral votes; Taft 93. At
the expense of six lead pencils Mann
has given Bryan Connecticut. Delaware,
Illinois. Iowa, Kansas, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, North Dakota Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island Indiana, Maryland,
Nebraska, New York. Ohio. West vir-
ginia and Colorado He did not trouble
himself to annex Minnesota Massacllu-
setts or Michigan. Mann discovered him
self just two months too late to avert
Bryan's worry about campaign funds
and the laceration of the feelings of his
friend Haskell.

DEMOCRAT CONTRIBUTES

One lone democrat has made con-
tribution to the republican campaign
fund of this state. His name is James
lsaacs and he is no mere private in
the ranks, but chairman of the demo-
cratic county committee of Shasta
county. His contribution consists OF
four drink checks.
When the secretary of the state CEN
trail committee sent appeals for con-
1saacs was included In the list. The
fact that he held notarial commits
sion was known at republican head
quarters and nobody dreamed that he
was not a republican.
1saacs is democrat of grim humor
and in answer to the appeal for money
he sent to republican headquarters a
nice little note with an inclosure of
four bar checks on saloon at Redding.

sTEEL WORKERs PLEDGE VOTES


Sixteen speeches were made by the
candidate today. While talking to a
vast throng in front of the Tod house,
in Youngstown, o., big card signed
by a number OF the workers in the
steel plants was sent up to him bearing
the message:
we can't be with you today. but we
will be on November g."
A number of the mill workers were
In the great audience, Bryan's arrival
being at time when the regular shifts
were being made
The route of travel today was through
many recognized republican strong
holds, and it was at such places that
the candidate fred his heaviest bat
teries. Taft got his share of criticism,
particularly In the matter of campaign
contributions and his attitude regard
ing the trust and labor questions.
As she did yesterday, Mrs. Bryan. in
response to the demands of the crowd.
came out on the rear platform of the
train and bowed. She shook hands
with many hundreds. and her stateroom
and the parlor of the car were banked
with flowers sent to her by friends The
whole of tomorrow will be spent in
West Virginia
M.kINLEY'S NAME CHEERED
Bryan was loudly eheered by big
crowd at Niles, o., the birthplace of
William Mckinley, when he made a
pleasing reference to the late president.
At Warren Bryan said:
We ask for the establishment of depavtment
OF labor with cabinet officer at Its head and
Judge Taft is opposing it.. IL he is in favor OF
labor man In the cabinet. why has he not
said SO in all OF the speeches he has made?
believe that labor Is entitled TO labor depart
ment. and do not have to read Judge Taft's
opinions to make my mind up that there ought
10 be- a department OF labor and secretary of
labor.
So great was the crowd to greet
Bryan at East Liverpool that after
making few remarks he was COM
PEELED to suspend in order TO save
human life. AS 1t was, a number of
women shrieked and tainted and the
crowd was swerving in such a way
that a catastrophe was only averted by
Bryan's decision TO cease talking.

crowds and lusty cheering was Ohio's
Just before the democratic candidate
passed over the line into West Virginia,
late tonight, he expressed himself as
exceedingly well pleased with the re-
ceptions accorded him in the native
state of the republican candidate for
president.
Although the day was hard one for
him, Bryan exhibited no signs OF fa-
tigue. Inspired by the fact that he was
carrying his warfare into the camp of
his political enemy he spoke with q
vigor that even those who have been
with him throughout the campaign
could not fail to note.
While still in bed this morning a
newspaper was handed into Bryans
stateroom and Mrs. Bryan read to him
a dispatch stating that the New York
Central railroad system was threaten
ing It's employees with a reduction in
wages IL he was elected. This was his
cue for the day and he fired broadside
after broadside into the republicans in
criticism of their campaign tactics. He
regarded the action of the railroad COM
pany as new menace"
At Newark Bryan said:
There. my friends, is the statement in a re-
publican paper Of the threat made by the Of
fcials of great railroad system. They threaten
TO punish men for voting the democratic ticket
by 10 per cent cut in their wages and they
promise to increase their pay and their work IL
they will vote the republican ticket l say to
you that the little ward beeler who goes around
and bribes man for s. Is moral character
beside the man who attempts to use his power
to threaten those who work for him and to buy
them by a promise of increase or threaten them
by promise OF decrease.
