Delegates Break Word

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


STOCKTON. May 13.-All the power
of the Southern Pacifc's political bu-
reau was exerted today to bring about
the defeat of Chester H Rowell. state
organizer of the Lincoln Roosevelt
league, as candidate for national
delegate from the sixth congressional
district. 1t succeeded, but 1t did not
fiatten him out and finish him polit-
ically as 1t aimed to do. Rowel made
a showing of 43 votes against so, and
when it is taken into consideration
that the railroad machine had resolved
to crush the life out OF the Fresno
editor his showing must be regarded
as remarkable Rowell may not go to
Chicago and put in clean vote for
Taft. but he enjoys the enviable dis
tinction of having all of the Southern
Pacific push of California working
savagely to accomplish his downfall.
This honor he has won in a manner
that must rally public opinion to him,
for he has been absolutely faithful to
the people and has refused on two oc-
casions to compromise or recede an
inch from his stand up and be count
ed" attitude.
PORTER LEADS HENCHMEN
Lieutenant Governor Warren r Por-
to do up" Rowell. He brought with
him Collector of Internal Revenue Gus
Muenter and United States Marshal Ell
lott and there was as fine an exhibi-
ton of gang methods as one can ever
see at convention. The wonder is
that these machine chieftains did not
do better than they did. 1t must be
said in Justice to Porter that he does
not misrepresent himself He admits
frankly that he is push politician and
that he came here openly to skin
Rowell and the bolters."
Muenter prevented the election Of j.
A. PIummer of Stockton. the other OF
the Lincoln-Roosevelt leagues candi-
dates for national delegate. The San

each personally promised to vote for

work among the delegates and seven OF
them broke their word, casting their
ballots in the secret vote asked by that
faction for the machines candidates.
Marshal Elliott. who halls from
Stanislaus county, was on hand to keep
the eight delegates from Stanislaus in
line. He afforded the humor of the
day, busying himself with button
holing delegates and going around pro-
testing to everybody that he was tax
ing no part In the fight" He had some
phantom subpoena to serve in Stockton
and that, be explained, was why he
was here for the convention.

WILL FIGHT ON KNIGHT
The fight will come when Stone offers
the report of the executive committee,
which will amount to an announcement
of the appointment of Knight as tenn
porary chairman. The league floor
leader Will appeal to the convention TO

delegates agree with both the league
leaders and Knight the fight will be-

THE SPIRIT OF sELFIsHNEss.

Present-Day Evils.

Rev. William r. Huntington Of New
York said recently that 1t was more
dangerous to be railway brakeman
than to be murderer, and proved his
assertion with statistics, showing that
one murderer in 7S was hanged. where
as, one brakeman in 80 was killed.
Discussing this startling fact the
other day. DR.. Huntington said that
the widespread spirit Of seIfishness
was no doubt responsible.
I'VE incline" he said. ito put our
selves too far ahead of other people.
We could all make no better resolution
than to be less selfish. AS 1t is. we are
too much like the art student
There was, you know, a poor Yer
mont art student who shared a studio
bedroom with a journalist from Wis
consin.
THE vermonter went out one morn

home two chops. He laid them on the
table and the cat leaped up and de-
voured one.

friend, the cat has eaten your chopl'"

be due mostly to his personal popular
