SOUTH WE'LL ORGANIZED
While the leagues work In San

organization and the subordinate or
CARNATIONS are working day and night
throughout the state. The southern
portion Of the state has been thor
oughIy organized for months and the
work is well IN hand.
North OF the Tehachapi. where. in
many counties organization work was
delayed on account of the San Fran
isco situation, the exposure of the Her
rin scheme to control the state con-
vention through the appointment OF
majority OF the delegates has given
the leagues work a tremendous i'm
petus.
One OF the last places to be organ
ized for the league is Palo Alto. Or
Eanization will be perfected in the
university town Friday night, when
mass meeting Will be addressed by
state Secretary Chester H Roweu and
Senator Charles NJ Belshaw. Palo
Alto is overwhelmingly for the anti
machine movement and completion of
the organization there will insure
clean sweep for the league in the fifth
congressional district.

The tremendous popular indigna-
ton aroused by the machines brutal
attempt to control the convention
through appointed delegates has driven
some Of the county and district ma
cIiines to the employment OF laugh
able expedients to save their organiza-
tions from the storm. One Of the most
comicaI exhibitions OF the machine
strikers plight was furnished by
the Sacramento county committee.
Johnnie" Ing is chairman of the
railroads republican organization in
Sacramento. His consummation of
the Job to appoint delegates
from those precincts not af-
feeted by the primary election law
was prevented by a storm OF pro-
test which went up from the precincts
in which Ing purposed to disfranchise
the republican electors. Numerous pc
titions and protests from the electors
Of these districts were intrusted TO
Mayor White. the Lincoln-R Roosevelt
league mayor of Sacramento, and he,
on behalf Of the people, demanded that
Ing's committee arrange for primary
elections. Ing protested that the coun-
~ committee could be got together
only with great difficulty, but he said
he would arrange for meeting and
notify white and the other protestants
