for the people to decide. ALI the dis
honest, corrupt and discredited ele-
ments in the body polite OF California
are plainly lined UP against the Lin
coin Roosevelt republican league and
for Herrin and the Southern racifc.
VICE TRADERS LIKE MACHINE
That the tenderloin vote In the prin-
cipal cities and towns throughout the
state was cast almost Bolidly against
the candidates OF the Lincoln Roose-
one of the interesting developments
discovered by analysts OF the election
returns.
Owing to the strong working agree
ments which always exist between
push" politicians and the traders In
vice reform movements ind the great
est difficulty In invading those dis-
tricts of cities and large towns where
the vicious interests are in league with
the political bosses.
Always suspicious of reform move
ments, the tenderloip element was not
likely to take kindly to the Lincoln
Roosevelt league with it's platform de-
nouncinE political bosses and opposing
their methods Of gaining and keeping
control.
AS result OF this attitude the Lin
ln-Rooseveit league lost the tender
loin districts in this city, Los Angeles,
track district OF Los Angeles. and had
it's hardest fight In Alameda county at
Emeryville.
The new tenderloin OF this city is
located principally in the forty-thtrd
and torty-fourth districts. but It ex-
tends also into the forty-second and
forty fifth. All of these districts were
carried against the league forces by
the push" element, Dominic Beban in
the forty-third and "Johtny" Nelson in
the forty NTH being especially active.
LEAGUE STRONG IN COUNTRY
In Los Angeles the league showed
the most strength in the clean coun-
try districts and In the residential parts
of the city. The push" got its chief
support in the saloon district down
town and in the red light district.
In Arcadia. where the racetrack is
located, the league was showed under
by a vote OF So to 0.
In San Diego the machine strength
came largely from the tenderloin votes,
The league lost two OF the residence
districts only, owing to the majorities
for the organization tickets rolled up
in the tenderloin.
In Alameda county the league was
fought most bitterly In the forty ninth
district. which includes the Emeryviiie
racetrack.
The So delegates elected In this city
by the Lincoln Roosevelt league will
hold q meeting tomorrow night at
o'clock in the league headquarters In
the Kamm building, III Market street.
Byron MauEy. vice president of the
league and delegate from the thirty
eighth district, will preside.
Special efforts have been made to in
sure the presence at this meeting OF all
the delegates elected on the league
ticket in the city and the indications
are that none will be absent.
DELEGATES WITHOUT BOSS
For the first time within memory this
city is sending TO the state republican
convention q body of men who do not
report 10 George Hatton or Jere Burke
for the program arranged by Boss Her
rim Fifty-three delegates absolutely un-
bossed and unprogrammed make a rec
ord for San Francisco which Will upset
the notions of the country delegations
as TO the manner in which the political
game is played here.
The delegations from the rural dis
tricts up and down the coast and in the
interior generally go to the state con-
against the Southern Pacific program.
This year the Lincoln Roosevelt league
propaganda has given them the tools
10 work with and with the delegates
from San Francisco and other parts of
the state who are pledged to the league
they Will form solid majority against
which the Southern Pacific program
will make no headway.
1t is for the purpose OF familiarizins
4 f,es aA1p III
Independent republicans throughout
the state that the delegates. from this
city will meet tomorrow night. They
are determined to go to Sacramento
with the interests of the whole party
at heart and thoroughly acquainted
with the designs OF the Herrinites in
the convention.
