League Is Shown in

Meeting of Supporters of Herrin
Is Shy Members and
Enthusiasm

PALO ALTO, Aug. THE strength
of the Lincoln Roosevelt league in
this section was shown last night by
futile attempt TO organize an 'old
line" republican club in the interests
of Hayes and Herrin. The meeting
had been widely advertised, yet only
25 persons were in the hall, not more
than half of whom were in sympathy
with the purposes of the meeting.
General w. II. III. Hart presided No
statement of the principles or pur-
poses of the club was made, and the
sole object seemed to be to select
ticket which might defeat the league
nominees at the primary election Near
ly all those present refused to be
named as delegates to the county
convention, but ticket was finally
made up. partly of absentees. The
ticket represents corporation employees
and those who are affiliated with John
+. Parkinson, the local machine boss
But the scheme was too rank, even for
Parkinson's friends. and today five OF
the eleven men named have with
drawn from the ticket. Albert T.
Lund, prominent young Native Son
in the employ of Parkinson. had the
courage to refuse to submit TO the
pressure brought to bear and said he
would not be Identified with the Her
rim push even If ii cost him his pO-
sition.
Many voters have Joined the local
branch of the league today, as they
wanted it distinctly understood that
they were not in sympathy with last
nights fiaseo. 1t is safe to predict
that the league will poll nine out of ten
of the republican votes In the north
end OF Santa Clara county.

an enthusiastic meeting last night to
perfect plans for the primary. \
