Nine BOGUS NAMES
ARE STRICKEN OUT
Election Commissioners Deal q
Sad Blow to Herrin Colony
in Twenty-eighth District

Arrest threatens scores Of Herrin
to vote at the coming election as re-
publican electors from the twenty
eighth assembly district on the names
which have been illegally registered
Nine Of the names registered in the
Herrins colony in the twenty eighth as
semblyt district were ordered stricken
from the register by the election COM
mission last night. The investigation
conducted by representatives of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league and the elec-
ton commission showed that more than
so names had been improperly regis
tered in the twenty eighth district. In
each instance the investigators discov-
cred that there were no such persons
living at the address given by the
scores of members of the Herrin push
In many instances the addresses
given were found to be deserted houses
and some of the street numbers in
Stevenson and Minna streets could not
be found at all. Notices were sent tc
the nine colonized voters on July 29 by
the election commissioners ordering
them TO appear at last nights meeting
Long before the meeting took place
the commissioners knew that the nine
had been christened by Herrin's lieu
tenants, for the notices were returned
by the mail man and they were un-
opened. Wrong address" was stamped
on all OF the envelopes.
Here is the list of the names regis
tered from the vacant houses In Steven
son and Minna streets:
John Sullivan. 273 Stevenson street
Robert r. Ryder, 27S Stevenson
street.
Charles F. Mccarthy. 27a Stevenson
street.
Thomas Curran, 27s Stevenson street
Charles w. Austin, 273 Stevenson
street.
Patrick Shields. PIT Minna street
Alexander ]. McCarren, PIT Minna
street
Louis Fitzgerald, 217 Minna street.
George II. Damn, 235 Minna street
The action of the election commission
in striking the bogus voters from the
list and the rigid investigation which
the commission is still pursuing in the
twenty eighth will be a sad blow to the
hopes of Tom Finn, chairman of the
union labor county committee Finr
has been feverishly active in this dis
trict. He has been working hard IN
order to carry the twenty eighth dis
trict for the push" the reward Of
fered him by the Herrin machine beins
the senatorial nomination in the seven.

URGES VOTERS TO
DEFEAT MACHINE
Heney Exposes Tactics of Cor
porations in Promoting Cam
didates for Legislature
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON, Aug 4-Francis ].
Heney addressed more than 1900 en-
thusiastic hearers tonight at Masonic
music hall under the auspices of the
Lincoln Roosevelt republican league.
Machine methods were exposed and
many of the tricks OF corporations in
promoting the interests OF favored can
didates were explained in detail.
Throughout the address. which lasted
about two hours. Heney held the large
audience spellbound and, when telling
points were scored, round after round
OF applause drowned his efforts to
proceed.
The record OF Senator Perkins was
reviewed in connection with the tim
Der legislation and Heney pictured the
senator as sitting silently by and fail
ing to raise his voice In protest against
q steal of gigantic proportions.
Speaker Beardslee Of this city was
arraigned In no uncertain tones and
his acts in appointing the members OF
the committee on corporation and com
mittee on morals were referred to by
Heney as special concessions to the
railroads and the promoters OF the
racetrack evil.
The deplorable conditions that exist
on account of the way the machine had
controlled the primaries and ultimately
the legislatures were compared with
what might be attained If voters would
exercise themselves in the battle for
freedom against the machine In part,
Heney said:
We want to bring back to ourselves
the right of government. We want
to elect our own United States sena-
tors without taking instructions or or
ders from Parker of Los Angeles or
any one else. 1t is UP to US. the Lin
Roosevelt league, to see that these
things are done. You know that in
California the machine was against
Taft and that they were forced to sup
port him only through the overwheln-
ing sentiment throughout the state
I'm order to get good government
vote for the league delegates. They
are pledged to no one. They are striv-
ing to do that which is right. When
in Office they will represent the people,
not the corporations.
"Once the sentiment is properly
aroused the league will sweep the
country and sef-government will be
restored"

MANY FREE VOTERS
ARE DISFRANCHISFD
Southern Pacific Machine Has a
Joker Put in the EIec-
ton Call
Lincoln-R Roosevelt League Pro-
tests Against Action of the
County Central Committee
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SACRAMENTO. Aug. 4.-Disfranchise-
ment of hundreds OF free voters is the
medium through which the Southern
Pacific local machine hopes to escape
the wrath OF the incensed republicans
OF Sacramento.
The Lincoln-Roosevelt league Of Sac
ramento has sent a written protest TO
the republican state central committee
against the action OF the county central
committee IN prescribing test for the
primaries to be held in the country dis
trict, which. II is declared. will disen-
franchise hundreds of voters.
Among other things the voter Will be
compelled to take oath that he voted
for Gil1ett at the state election in No
vember, 1906, before his ballot will be
accepted by the officials OF the prima-
ries. AS a very large percentage of the
republicans of Sacramento showed their
disapproval OF corporation control OF
the party by voting for Bell. the demo-
cratic nominee. they contend the test
was put in the election call as a Joker
by the railroad forces in control OF the
county committee.
The state committee is appealed to BY
the league to order the county commit
tee to enforce only such test as con-
tanned IN the state call. Among the
reasons set forth In the protest are the
following:
Said test, If enforced, will disfran-
chise every republican voter in the dis
trict who has arrived at the age OF ma
1ority since November, 1906; also every
republican voter who. through sickness
or misfortune. was prevented from vot-
ing at that time.

STORMY SESSION
ENDS IN HARMONY
Lincoln-RooseveIt League and
Independent Club in 39th
Hold Joint Meeting
Adopt Resolution PIedging Al
Iegiance to Cause Rudolph
Spreckels Is Supporting

At the liveliest meeting held this
campaign the Lincoln-Roosevelt club
and the Independent club of the thirty
ninth district. in joint assemblage, last
night decided by vote Of 81 TO S5 to
place their ticket in the field without
adopting the changes proposed by the
administrative committee of the league.
After four hours OF stormy debate
harmony was restored to the councils
OF the two clubs by the unanimous
passage of a resolution pledging al
legiance to the cause in which Rudolph
Spreckels is fighting and promising to
stick by him through thick and thin.
Motives of political expediency caused
the administrative committee to recon-
mend TO the two clubs certain changes
in the three delegate tickets, and last
nights meeting was called to consider
these recommendations. One faction in
the club, led by W. W. Watson, F. S.
Britain and Wallace c. Wise, argued
for the communications made by
Spreckels, Ryan and Dohrmann; another
led by Edwin T. McMurray, Wallace
Bradford and Leland Boruck fought
for the ticket as originally made up.
Watson took the stand that the ad-
ministrative committee could judge
questions Of political expediency more
accurately than a district club and in
any man by the changes suggested. He
pointed 10 the resolution adopted by
the two clubs at previous meetings as
justification for the action taken by the
committee.
NcAIurray, on the other hand. de-
clared that the district clubs were the
final authority in all such matters and
held that the administrative commit
tees function extended only TO sugges-
tions as 10 the undesirability of dele
gates for cause stated.
Some Of the speakers injected bitter
personalities into the debate, which
were received with uproars Of approval
or disapproval, according TO the tenn
per OF the audience. There were howls
for home rule one moment and en-
thusiastic cheers for Spreckels the
next.
It was near midnight when the debate
was shut of and q vote was taken.
When the result showed that the ticket
would stand as originally prepared all
differences We're forgotten and the men
who fought for the changes pledged
their support to the viii of the ma
jority. With the unanimous adoption
OF the resolution 10 stay by the league
in the fight the meeting adjourned in
great good humor.
