RING FACES ROUT
IN CONTRA COSTA
Election for Free Primaries Will
Mark Crushing Defeat
for Herrin

MARTINEZ, July 5.-Reports re-
ceived by the friends of Superior Judge
William s. Wells from all sections Of
Contra Costa county point TO crush
ing defeat of the machine and the Her
rinites at Tuesdays election 10 decide
whether primaries under the law shall
be held this fall
The organization compelled Judge
Wells TO become a factor in the fight,
as 1T was because of his campaign for
primaries that he was selected as
target for defeat by the Southern Pa
eitlc's political bureau.
AS soon as that situation developed
the county arose almost in a body 10
protest against the tactics OF the rep
resentations of the machine hereabouts-
When A Z. Mckenzie, chairman OF the
republican county central COMMITTEES,
announced with much yigor that no
mandatory primaries should be held IN
Contra Costa county this year there
was a loud shout in protest.
Was Mckenzie 10 disfranchise the
republican voters of Contra Costa
county, as had been done by the Herrin
gang in the adjoining sister county Of
Alameda? He made the attempt and
had for assistant and adviser A E
Coleman, member Of the Herrin exec
utive committee OF the republican state
central committee, also the support OF
the Calkins syndicate weekly al this
place.
In addition they are credited with
having the free counsel, advice and as
sistanee of George Hatton, who does
Herrin's work in the political channels
Of the state. Having in mind the dis
franchising Of the republicans Of Cali
fornia for the purpose OF controlling
the last state convention and the party
machinery, the bosses here decided
that they would likewise perpetuate
themselves and hold a convention TO
which only delegates favorable 70 their
schemes should go. They. therefore
decided against primaries. Judge Wells
and his friends decided that primaries
should be held. They started cam
paign, the first step of which was TO
get majority of the voters Of the
county 10 sign the election petition.
With this move, which was successful
and was done rapidly, the next step
after the election date was set was 10
start for another victory which should
carry the fight one step nearer the goal.
That the majority vote Of the petition
ers will stand pat for primaries is as
sured.
