fight, which appears to be directed at
the capture of the vote of southern
California.
PLANS ARE UPSET
Melvin was to be the goat of the
coup planned by the Lincoln- Roosevelt
league managers. They believed that
by indorsing Justice Sloss and a south
ern California man Melvin would be
whipsawed into the third and losing
place. That looked good until Judge
James, who wanted to be the one south
ern Californian. began throwing his
harpoon in the direction of Judge Will
bur. who had the leagues Endorsement
tied up before the leaguers were fully
apprised of his roping tactics.
James believed that. he had the sup
port of the bar of southern California
generally, and he suggested that Will
bur join with him in submitting them
selves to the choice of the bar first.
The man indorsed by the members of
his profession was to be given clear
field and the support of the less fortu-
nate jurist
That proposition struck no respon-
sive chord in the breast of Wilbur.
He decided that a sure enough
Endorsement by the league was worth
several reflections by the bar. The re-
suit is a vicious fight between Wilbur
and James for southern California votes
that appears TO be operating to the
advantage of Melvin.
