HFRRIN CALLS
OLD GUARD TO
CAJOLE VOTES
George A. Knight Will Be Prin-
cipal Attraction of Machine
Meetings South Of Market
Defender of Calhoun Prepared
for Last Stand Against Anti
Machine Forces
Wolfe, Beckett and Fisk Join in
Fight to Prevent Decent
Government
by George Var, Smith

BY George Van Smith
Summoned by blast of the South
ern Pacific whistle, George A. Knight
is on the scene rolling up his sleeves
and his voice preparatory to an on
slaught on the south of Market street
districts in the interests of Herrin's
candidates for delegates to the state
convention.
The ever ready voice of National
Committeeman George A. Knight, last
heard in San Francisco in denuncia-
ton of the graft prosecution and in
the defense of Patrick Calhoun, is to
be employed by Herrin in an effort to
cajole the votes of the men who work
for delegates to the state convention
who, IL elected, will in turn vote to
send those eminent champions of the
workingmen's rights, General Harrison
Gray Otis, General NJ. H de Young.
George A Knight and James n. Gfllett,
to the Chicago convention. Knight an
nounced yesterday that he was to be
the principal attraction at series of
meetings to be held in the assembly
districts south of Market street.
With control of the republican state
convention. which means continuation
of his domination of the state central
committee and the selection of his dele
gates at large to the Chicago conyen-
tion. hinging upon the San Francisco
primaries, Herrin has rounded UP all
his old guard for a desperate last
stand against the anti machine forces
in the fourth and fifth congressional
districts.

MACHINE FIGHT DESPERATE

The Endorsement of the Lincoln
Roosevelt leagues work and platform
by the Santa Clara county committee
and the instruction to vote with the
league delegates given the 2s delegates
from the fifty fifth, firty-sixth and
fifty-seven assembly districts put at
an end the machine strikers hopes of
securing the two district delegates
from the fifth congressional district.
but also resulted in driving them to
more desperate efforts to break the
Lincoln Roosevelt league ranks in the
San Francisco end of the district.
The capital prize for which the ma
chine is lighting hardest in the fifth
congressional district. is the 16 dele
gates from the twenty first senatorial
district, which includes the thirty-sev-
enth and thirty eighth assembly dis
tricts Senator Eddie Wolfe and AS
semblyman Sammy Beckett are Herrin's s
republican legislative representatives
in the twenty first senatorial district,
and with Herrins chief lieutenant,
Postmaster Arthur G. Fisk, and his
small army of strikers in the thirty
seventh assembly district. are the head
and front of the movement to bind two
of the best assembly districts in the
state to the Herrin program.

WOLFE REAPs REWARDS


Wolfe has been Herrin's chief San
Francisco representative in the state
senate for IL years. His services in
that capacity have been SO eminently
chine that Wolfe was made president
pro tenn. of the senate and the floor
leader of the railroad forces in the
upper house of the legislature.
In addition to the honor of acting as
Herrin's mouthpiece on the floor of the
Wolfe has received crumbs from the
machine table in the shape of special
commission appointments, the last of
which was a place on the grab bag.
legislative committee appointed to in
vestigate the banks of California This
eward fell to Wolfe at the end of the
extra session last November. At the
end of the preceding regular session he
was given a place on the special leg
islative committee to investigate the
harbors of the state. Both appoint
ments were desirable, both from the
standpoint of mileage and expenses and
from the standpoint of undeveloped
possibilities.
TRICK WAS TOO RAW
1t was Wolfe who in the open posed
as friend of the people in their fight
for the direct primary and who in the
secrecy of the republican caucus very
nearly succeeded in an attempt to make
submission of the direct primary
amendment impossible. When the di-
rect primary amendment, which will be
voted upon by the people at the No
yember election, had reached the free
conference stage. and when failure to
send 1t to the free conference COM
mittee would have resulted in no pri
mary legislation being secured at the

The events in Colorado and in
New York recorded recently leave no
doubt about the anarchists. There
Is no doubt, indeed, that they are

than anywhere in Europe. For that
reason they come here in large num-
bers to hatch their plots and preach
their doctrines and defy society.
The anarchists are here-not only
in Patterson, but in New York, Chi
cago, all over the country, and they
are advocating and practicing MUIR

lieve that there are no present laws

theories into practice.
Some years ago, however, DR..
Thomas A. Chatard, then president
of the Society of Chemists, delivered
an address at Washington, D. c., in
the course of which he proposed
very simple if constitutionally prac-
ticable remedy for the worst fea-
lures of the anarchist dynamite prop
aganda. He suggested, in fact, a ma
tional law making 1t penal offense
to have dynamite or other deadly ex-
plosives in possession, authorizing
domiciliary visits by the police and
providing for suitable and effective
punishment of all offenders. Under
the law outlined by him it would not
be necessary to prove murderous in
tention-a thing impossible; the Of
fense was to consist in the possession
of the explosives by Unauthorized
persons. The PRONUNCIATION of the
law would give fair warning. After

Dynamite and its congeners are

they are agencies of terror. Enact

The phrase hard times is highly
ambiguous, as most economic terms
are. Its most general, least challenge
able meaning is an historical period
when the time is out of joint;
but, be 1t observed, the Significance
of this definition turns unavoidably
upon what constitutes disiocation.
When may the time be described as
properly articulated? Over this
question doctors and patients dis
agree, and not mildly. The expert
ence which Detroit has just had with
its vast ''army of the unemployed"
discloses lamentable disharmony
among economists on this topic of
the hour.
Some days ago a huge parade of
workingmen was organized in De-
troit for the purpose of convincing
the authorities that hard times had
really and truly smitten the fair
City of the Straits. Twenty-Five hun
dred amateur economists had faith
enough in this diagnosis to join the
ranks which marched upon the City
Hall demanding aid from the alder
men. AS the Detroiters have no
Tammany, neither the budget nor
the debt limit worries them: hence
the petitioners found the city fathers

invited to step into the Park Super
intendent's office to have their
names inscribed upon the emergency
payroll. Thereupon, saith the chon-

other 2,490 scurried up the neigh
boring alleys. Ana when the ten
faithful learned the nature of their
new jobs great were their grief and
wrath. In the words of the Park

SAYS ROAD
IS WINNING

Today c. Il. SchIacks, vice presi
dent and chief executive officer OF
the Denver & Rio Grande; A. s
Hughes, general traffic manag ger, and
Joel f. Vaile, general counsel for
the road, passed through Grand
junction en- route to Denver from
Salt Lake City, where they have
been on official business. General
Manager Imdgway went to Salt Lake
City with the party, but he remains
there for few days longer.
| Yesterday afternoon, in an inter-
view with the Salt Lake Herald, Vice
President Schlacks said:
! Our shops are running now in
normal condition. Our trains are
moving well and We have nothing to
complain about. As far as l know,
| there VIII be no settlement with the
unions. We have all the men we
need. The shops are all running on
normal basis and all the places we
had vacant have been filled with
competent men,"
He said that the trip of the Off
cials to Salt Lake City had no ref
erence to the labor troubles and was
of no particular significance. He
said that while there was nothing
definite to say with refernce to the
immediate plans of the company re-
garding its new depot for Salt Lake
City. his opinion was that work
would commence on it within few
weeks.
''The country is slowly recovering
from the recent financial trouble"
said Mr.. Schlacks. ''and things are
beginning to look brighter. We will
not curtail our expenditures further;
yet at the same time We are not
planning any immediate expansion,
with the possible exception of a new
station for Salt Lake City. Our bust
ness has dropped off during the pan
ic from Is to 20 per cent, which |
believe is the average in all lines of
business.
Il am glad to know that the smelt-
ers in Salt Lake valley are soon to
reopen, and I hope that it will not
be long until all the mines are GO
ing again. With these two indus
tries resumed. business in Salt Lake
City should soon be humming again.

MRS GENE BUCKINGHAM HUB-
 BELL.
 Once again it comes to us painful duty to speak of loved one gone. Gone beyond the pale of sickness and sorrow, gone Ito that bourne whence none return" She of whom we speak. Mrs Hubbell. widow of the late Abijah Hubbell. was a lady of sterling char aeter, one of our good old substantials. whose life speaks for itself. and a glowing example for others of whom nothing can be said save in her praise, ever ready with tender sympathizing heart and willing lhand, to render as- sistance to those in affliction and to give of her store to all necessities of charity. She was good wife, good mother and made for herself and those she loved good home. One of those good old fashioned, friendly friends, which meant what it said, friendship, true. We have known her many long years, to cherish the highest degree of respect and esteem for her, and only too willing to speak this slight tribute to her memory. Mrs Hubbel has lain upon a bed of sickness for the past six long. years. Those years have been sad ones in her life's history, full of pain and suffering, but patiently borne with that Christian fortitude which has marked the course of her every day life of nearly 89 years. In her early life she espoused the Episcopal faith and has long been a consistent member of the Episcopal church. Her funeral was attended at her home in White Hills on Saturday, January IS. A large concourse of friends attested their high respect to her memory by their'attendance. Services were con ducted by Rev MT Bickford, pastor of the Baptist church of that place, whose words were touching tribute to the noble character of whom he spoke, also to those children who mourn her loss, Mrs Nichols and Mrs McEwen. at whose home she passed away. who has bestowed upon her mother almost unequaled tenderness and care. A few days before her death she asked her daughter, Mrs McEwen, Eto sing to her '1'm going home to die no more" touching incident long to be remem- bered by her. The funeral directions were in charge of Undertaken Cyrus E. Lewis of Derby. The floral tri- butes were many and very beautiful. Dear Mother, we miss thee in our
