BROWN INDORSfD
BY THE LEAGUE

REDWOOD CITY. Aug. S1.-Despite
all their efforts the machine republicans
have been unable to keep Henry Ward
Brown of Colma from jumping over the
traces, and a merry war is on in the
county between the good government
forces and the Herrin ringsters. Brown,
although a republican. is olt for the
position of assemblyman and promises
to make a strong fight fST the plum, as
his record of service at the state capital
was especially clean.
Brown wished to fill the office again
this year, but the Herrin machine
through its leaders in the county.
George c. Ross, District Attorney J. j..
Bullock and their cohorts, slipped the
collar over the head of a younger and
more easily controlled man, II. Holm
quist of Redwood City. Chag'rined at
the rundown Brown determined to run
independently if he could not procure
any Endorsement. At an enthusiastic
meeting of the Good Government club
of Redwood City held on Saturday
night, an organization which has taken
the county seat from the ring control
from which 1T has suffered for years
past, Brown was unqualifiedly indorsed
for the position of assemblyman and
will receive its influence and support in
his fight for votes. In local politics the
club favored the appointment of Albert
Mansfield, a young attorney, for the
position of city trustee to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of William
Havey. Mansfield is the son of former
sheriff of the county and was private
secretary to Ex-Governor Budd for a
short time previous to Budd's death.

Will DEVELOP THE
STUDENTS MORALS
Y. M. c. A. Chapter at Stanford
Is Organized With Much
Larger Scope

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 81
With the return of the students for the
new term at Stanford university the
members of the Young Mems Christian
association have announced many new
plans which they intend to put into
effect and which indicate great activity
upon the part of that organization.
The best indication of. this policy
which it is intended the organization
shall follow is the election of w. Cortez
Shelton to the presidency. Shelton is
well known graduate of the 1908
class who took a prominent part in
debating circles. Last year as a mem
Der of the Carnot team he was awarded
the medal He studied here during his
undergraduate career in the law de-
partment and is a member of the local
chapter of the Delta Chi legal fra
ternity. Shelton will be assisted in his
plans for an active campaign for the
Christian association by an eastern uni
versity man who has d wide experience
along these lines. D. w. Weice, a
graduate of the University of Ohio of
the 1904 class, has been chosen secre-
tary at an attractive salary.
The program for the year which has
been tentatively arranged calls for a
number of social events, and among
these rousing reception to the fresh
men students. Active steps are to be
taken by the officers and members to
secure larger attendance at the weekly
bible classes.
The personality of the new president
and the experience and capability of the
secretary are expected to do much
toward making the optimistic plans of
the association bear fruit. The sister
organization, the Y. w. c. A., will also
enter into the field of work with re-
newed vigor and will attempt to smooth
the path for the entering women
students.
