Martin Reaches PaIo Alto

Local physicians displayed an unwill-
ingness yesterday to mix in the legis-
lative fight on the direct primary bin
when Lou Martin. sergeant at arms OF
the senate arrived here armed with a
warrant for the arrest of Senator Black
of Palo Alto Martin had been direct
ed to secure San Francisco physician
TO diagnose the illness of the senator
who is confined to his home in the uni
versity town. and determine whether
1t would endanger the legislators life
to take him to Sacramento where his
vote is badly needed.
Martin had been instructed to retain
DR.. John Gallwey, but when he called
on the latter the physician stated that
he could not leave an important en-
gagement here. Martin then appealed
to DR.. Howard Morrow, but he also
had important cases in the city. Dr.
Douglas W. Montgomery finally con-
sented to go.
DR.. Montgomery and Martin reached
Palo Alto at $50 o'clock last night and
proceeded Immediately to the home of
Senator Black. They were met with
the statement that the patient was
asleep, and could not be disturbed.
Martin and DR.. Montgomery remained
at Palo Alto last night. and the war
rant will be served on the senator this
morning

are some OF the men who fought day
and night for the passage of the bill
by the senate-men whose loyalty to
the bill and to the cause of direct
primaries can not be questioned.
Positions Taken by Senators
With them are senators who are not
now for direct primaries, who never
have been for direct primaries and who
in their hearts never will be for direct
primaries. But the fact remains that
they are trying to pass the BILL with
a vote for United States senator in it,
while the proponents of nonconcurrence
are running the risk, not alone of get
ting much less than the system they
believe in and fight against but of be-
ing compelled finally to vote against
a wholly bad bill which might come
out OF the free conference.
Beth democrats and republicans
prominent in the ranks of the propo-
nents of concurrence have admitted
that the amendments will result in no
harm, either TO the bill or to the public,
and five republicans who are voting for
nonconcurrence have told me that they
prefer the district plan. All of which,
reduced to Its simplest terms, means
that FIVE republican senators are vot-
ing against plan whichAthey honestly
prefer. and by so voting are endan-
gering a bill which the people want,
and for which these same senators
fought manfully and well. The hottest
proponents of nonconcurrence admit
that there is no direct primary princi-
pie involved and that they are fighting,
first, because OF their. conference obli-
tions and, secondly, because they do not
like the lineup. Estudillo and Stetson
are not TO be included in that category.
They opposed the district plan in the
senate committee on elections when it
was offered there.
Element of Bad Faith
There is a wide difference between
the positions of Estudillo and Stetson
and that occupied by the senators who
advised the adoption on the amend
ments in the assembly who advocated
the calling of a republican caucus and
who now charge the men who are try
ing to save the bill with bad faith.
There is bad faith enough on both
Sides but it does not run to a ma
jority of either side. Out of total of
40 senators there are less than 10 that
really care a rap about state wide or
district votes. Some of the men on the
side of nonconcurrence are trying to do
democratic politics. Some Of the men
on the otner side are trying to do re-
publican politics. More of them on both
sides are trying to do factional repub-
lican politics. Some Of them are try
ing and succeeding in paying off per-
sonaF scores. Villainous measures have
been slipped through as a result of the
division on thes primary bill. Imagine
such men as Rush and Wright voting
for the writ of review bill If IL were
not for the direct primary scrap. Nine
tenths Of the trouble over the primary
bill in the senate. is politics and nothing
else. and for politics the legislature re-
mains in session and the direct primary
bill. demanded by majority of 106.000
votes, remains In danger of defeat or
emasculation.

NORTH COAST HARRIMAN's?

Portland, Ore.-The Oregonian says:
1.-THE mysterious North Coast road that
has long been the enigma of the north
west railroad situation is believed to
have been connected up with the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company's line.
The North Coast has up to this time
remained an unguessed riddle, but now
it is thought the Hartman interests
have been behind the project from it's
inception and that the railroad will in
wade the Hill territory in eastern Wash
ington for the purpose Of diverting traf
6c to the o. r. & N. and the Union
Pacific that would otherwise be hauled
over the Northern Pacific or Great
Northern.
"The building of the big bridge
across the Columbia river near Kenne-
wick and the connection with the main
line of the 0. R. & N. has apparently
let the eat out of the bag. 1t is now
believed that the time for secrecy has
about passed and that soon there will
be an official announcement verifying
the report.'

That the Payne tariff bill would bring

if enacted, because of the section which
continues in operation the Cuban reel
procity treaty, is one of the arguments
that is being made against the measure.
Representatives of western states are
claiming that the new drawback pro-
vision in the Payne tariff bill is dis
criminatoyy against the west in favor
of the east. The revised drawback sec
ton permits manufactures to secure the
regular drawback of 90 per cent of the
duty paid on imported raw material
without the necessity of using the inn
