winning the thirty second will clincb
the nomination of Senator Dick Welch
in the nineteenth senatorial district,
which comprises the thirty-second and
thirty-hfth assembly districts.
The thirty-third district was per-
mitted to go to the machine by de-
fault in the May primaries. Fratessa
and the machine crowd had everything
their own way. Things are different
now. They have a fight on their hands
and face defeat. The republicans of
the thirty-third have not forgotten the
disgrace heaped upon their district by
t'ratessa when he voted for the con-
tingent grab at the last extra session
OF the legislature.
CHEAPEST STEAL PLANNED
The attempted contingent grab was
characterized by Governor Gfllett as
the cheapest steal ever planned by a
highbinder Legislature. The governor
exerted every influence to protect the
state from the shame incident to the
attempt TO grab s25 simply because II
was not nailed down. He pleaded with
assembly and senate leaders not to per

not cheap enough for that job and the
attempt was not made in the upper

the San Francisco contingent had done
its best TO pull IL off.
LABOR MEN RESENT KNAVERY
Some of the San Francisco districts
will stand for some rough work, but
none Of them are proud of the cheapest
form Of knavery. The voters OF the
| thirty-th district are for the moss
part men who work and are affiliated
! with labor unions. Fratessa was Sent

Gray Otis in the Sacramento conven-

in form.
Throughout the district union labor

to labor. The machine manipuiators
