STANTON DENIES RUMOR
The newest twist in connection with
the republican gubernatorial situation
is The rumor going the rounds con-
cerning the possibility Of the with
drawal from the hght of Phil stanton.
Stantou's hackers denounce the story
as an unfounded attempt to discredit
,1heir candidate and attribute the rumor
n opposition sources. AS a matter Of
fae. II locks very much like a cam
paign move to boost the candidacy of
Alden Anderson. for the story as cir
culated is based on the suggestion that
The United States senatorship be given
as = consolation prize to one OF the
present candidates for governor.
The refusal OF the republican state
central committee at its meeting a week
20 TO adopt. resolutions placing moral
obligations upon the party legislators
10 support the sena U0rial candidate win
ming the advisory vote has practically
settled the chance Of Judge Works, the
. only candidate now formally in the field.
That Works VIII not receive the legis-
lative support is a foregone conclusion,
but il is equally as certain that none
Of the five candidates for governor
a fe-fs .~ff.1r
ing. even If one of the defeated ones
should make the race.
MAY BE OFFERED TOGA
Despite al this, it is being hinted
that the organization support fOF SEN
at0r might be given Stanton if he
would consent to withdraw from the
lght for governor and back the Ander-
son contest Stanton's closest advisers
however, assert that there isn't the
slightest possibility that he win agree
TO the organization program. The
promise OF the senatorship is entirely
100 ephemeral to attract his fancy.

Nat EUerys managers again have
cnlivened the campaign situation with
= denunciatiOn OF Hirsm m W. Johnson S
supporters TO whom they attribute a
statement. referring in uncOmplimentary
terms to the matter Of the cost Of plans
for the normal school al San Jose.
WENDACIoUS FALSEHOOD
In a written statement given out yes
1erday at the Ellery headquarters the
printed reference to the state normal
school matter was referred to as "a
deliberate and mendacious falsehood.' -
The statement continues:
The juggled figures were issued by
the Johnson mana ger, to whom they
were furnished by State Senator George
= Walker (better known as Dirty Shirt
Walker OF San Jose, who is one of
Hiram JOhnsons supporters. Walker
wrote to Controller Nye, who gave him
an itemized statement Of the cost OF
the work at San Jose normal rendered
10 Mr. Nye by a clerk in the state en-
gineers Office
copy OF the report mentioned is in
cluded in the Ellery campaign letter
and it is analyzed to show that the
architects fees on the state normal
school work amounted TO only small
fraction over per cent OF the estimate
instead Of to IS Z, as charged.
ATTACKS JOHNSON
The statement concludes with the fol-
lowing attack:
The inspiration Of this underhand
deception was a frame up by Dirty
shirt Walker of the Johnson camp in
conjunction with Mr. Wolf. an architect
Of san Jose and friend of Boss Nc
kenzie. who is state labor commissioner
and the tool OF Herrin and the Southern
Pacific railroad. because they realize
that Ellery is breaking into both their
camps. and shows that Anderson and
johnson are in this fight together FOR
either to win, and that Boss Herrin and
his forces are also back Of Hiram John.
son and that Johnson is misrepresent.
ing himself to the voters Of California
