Never before had Boyd seen a wom-

anger. She was the picture Of defiant
fury. The mask had slipped, and he
caught a glimpse of the naked, pas

test Out of Realm of
Partisan Politics

DR.. A. C. Pratt, the Good Govern
ment and Democratic nominee for
county coroner, is waging battle FOR
the office that has practically thrown
the issue of his fight out of the do
main of politics. At every meeting
where DR.. Pratt has been speaker
Republicans as we'll as Democrats
have come out in his support on the
ground that his election is necessary
to cleanse the county administration
OF the Southern Pacific. machine IN
huence.
DR.. Pratt has made many sacrltices
to enter the present fight and mas
made an aggressive campaign from
the start. He has pledged himself II
elected to remove the coroner's o1nce
from the bane of pernicious politics
and to put a stop to the era of faVor-
itism to undertakers who are affiliated
with Walter Parker
DR.. Pratt has the Endorsement OF
the Good Government organization
and has received enthusiastic support
from both non-partisans and partisans
throughout the county who oppose
machine rule.

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 6.-With
but one day between now and election,
Democrats and Republicans alike are
awaiting the result, confident that
their respective parties will fare bet
ter than four years ago at the hands
of the voters Of San Bernardino
county.
Charles A. Rouse, chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,
today issued a statement from the
Democratic headquarters, which dur
ing the campaign has been the scene
of activity not known in years. He
states that Johnson's plurality in San
Bernardino county will not exceed
500 votes, as against Gillett's 1925 in
1906. The Democratic chairman says
that his workers have discovered only
twenty-five men in the entire county
who will vote the straight Republi-
can ticket.
Lyman M. King, chairman of the Re
publican county central committee,
says that Johnson will carry the coun-
ty by 1900 votes ahead of Bell and
that every county officer will be elect

JUDGE STEPHENS WINS
APPROVAL Of PARTIES
Nominee for Superior Bench In
dorSed by Democrats and
Good Governments

Heartily indorsed by the Democrats
and Good Government organization as
their nominee for one of the three SUI
perior judgeships to be filed for the
full term at the election tomorrow
Albert Lee stephens, four years JUS
tice of the peace of Los Angeles county,
will have the support at the polls OF
hundreds of non-partisan voters.
Judge Stephens, one of the kindliest
and most courteous men on Los An
gels bench, who has won many friends
by his fair decisions, has lived in Los
Angeles twenty-seven years. He was
born in Indiana thirty-seven years ago.
OF a quiet and retiring disposition, it
needed much persuasion on the part of
his many friends in this city to bring
him into the heat of the campaign to
battle for his election in the morning.
There are twelve departments of the
superior court, and notwithstanding
politics should have nothing to do with
judicial duties all twelve are at present
filled by Republicans.

WASHINGTON MAY ADOPT
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT T
Democrats Are Expected to Gain
Many Seats in Legislature

SEATTLE, Nov 6.-The vote cast in
washington state next Tuesday will be
very small. Careful students of poll
tics expect the election of three Re
publican congressman and five Repub-
lican supreme judges and think the
chances favor the adoption of a woman
suffrage amendment to the constitution.
The September primary, in which
Congressman Miles Poindexter, insur-
gent, was nominated for the United
States senate by 41,00O plurality, de-
stroyed the Republican party organlza-
ton, and there has been no organized
campaign On the Republican side ana
a lstless one by the Democrats.
In the First, or Seattle congressional
district, Congressman William %.
Humphrey, standpatter, indorsed by
Roosevelt, is opposed by some insur-
gents and by the labor unions.
In the Second, or Tacoma district,
Stanton Warburton insurgent Repub-
lican. is being fought by the old guard,
but has strong support of 'Poindexter
and the other state insurgent leaders.
In the Third, or Spokane district,
William l.. LaFollette, insurgent Re-
publican, has little opposition.
The Democrats probably will gain a
dozen seats in the legislature, but will
not be able to prevent the election OF
Poindexter as senator.

SUCCESS NOW ASSURED,
SAYS SECRETARY MURRAY
Official of Democratic Committee
Confident of Bells Victory

Before leaving for San Francisco
yesterday James F. Murray, secretary
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee, reiterated his statement that
Johnson would not be able to carry
Southern California by more than 5000
or 1000 votes. Mr. Murray stated that
he had in the past ten days been in
continual conference with the leading
Democrats of the eight central coun-
ties-men who were personally ac-
quainted with every voter in their
sections-and that after these confer
ences he felt confident that it would
not be possible for the Republican
candidate for governor to secure more
than a few thousand majority in the
section south of the Tehachapi.
Mr.. Murray branded as ridiculous
the statement made by Republican
committeeman that the Republicans
would roll up 10000 majority in South
ern California. Murray declares Bell
will come to the Tehachapi from the
north with a huge majority and that
the victory of the Democratic candi-
date seemed certain.

ADVOCATES NEW LABOR LAWS
1Associated Pressl

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The Republi-
can nominee tor governor, Henry L.
Stimson, tonight issued what he called
his last appeal to the voters"
1t will not, however, be his last pub
lie utterance of the campaign, for
both he and Theodore Roosevelt will
be dinner guests tomorrow night of
the Hungarian Republican club on the
East Side.
The statement, in part, reads:
"The issues of the campaign are now
clear cut On our side we stand for
progress, carrying out the policies of
the administration of Governor
Hughes. We stand for an efficient
state government, doing its duty to
the individual citizen and standing as
the surest safeguard against undue
federal extension. We believe in keep
ing the public service corporation out
of politics and regulating it in the in
terest of the citizens and the public.
1--WE believe in the more efficient
administration of our labor laws; an
better protection of the lives and limbs
of our Worlxmen in our factories ana
upon our railroads; in more efficient
child labor laws: in the workman $
compensation act which practically
provides him an insurance against ac-
cident in dangerous trades.
1--WE believe the state has a positive
duty to help the workingman, not only
against physical accident, but by Civ
ing him a better chance in life with
better hours and better working condi-
tions.
Against us are arrayed the forces
of reaction. Their organs boast that
we are without funds and the Demo-
Gratis have all the money they want.
This means we are fighting the battle
of the Individual citizen and depend
on his vote and that behind our op-
ponents are certain powerful interests
which have a distinct advantage in a
loose and inefficient state government"

NEW MEXICO DELEGATES
TO HEAR PR0HIBITIONISTS
Fear of CompIicating Statehood
Question May Cause Failure
of Liquor Fight

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Nov. 6.-The eff
fort to write statewide prohibition in
the constitution of New Mexico is ex-
pected to come up in the convention
here this week. Delegates from the
Saloon league and the w. G. L.
U. have been in constant attendance
at the sessions, and many petitions
have been presented, all praying that
the LIQUOR traffic be outlaWed.
A special committee has been ap-
pointed to take charge of this question
and the intention is to hold 4publlc
hearings before final report. Among
the delegates there are many who
favor submitting the question to the
people as an amendment to the consti-
tuition when that instrument is voted
on, but even this is strongly opposed
by both Democratic and Republican
leaders, who hold that the question OF
statehood should not be complicated
with any other issue.
