CAMPAIGN LETTER.

New York-Sept. 5, 1910.
President Taft's letter to
Chairman Mckinley has had the
effect Of placing the campaign
on the high level Of patriotism
and making party unity the
stepping stone to party success.
In concluding his recital of
the results thus far attained
by the 6lst conress the president
says:
1t is Of the most importance
to make this a campaign as to
facts and to clear away the
clouds OF misrepresentation
that have obscurel the real is
sues and have made II difficult
to secure for Republican MAORI
ties in congress the real credit
due them from the country for
the tremendous task they have
accomplished. lfthis is brought
clearly home to all voters and
especially to the young man vot-
ing for the first time and they
become impressed, as they
ought to be by this record, with
the difference in the govern
mental efficiency and capacity
Of the Republican and Democrat
ic parties, they will enroll them

In ten of the thirteen Con-
gressional districts, made up of
counties of the state, except st,
Louis and st. Louis city, the
Republicans gained 16, 92S votes
for president in 1908 over their
vote in the same counties in
1900, while the Democrats lost
heavily in all but two of such
districts, the Fifth and Four
teenth. In the Fifth kansas
City and Jackson county, the
Democratic gain was so abnor-
NAL as to arouse well grounded
suspicion Of dishonest voting.
In the Fourteenth the Democrat
ic gain was less than 500. The
net Democratic loss in the thir-
teen districts was 6,732.

The National Good Roads Con-
vention, which will be held at
St. Louis the last week in Sept
ember, will have an opportunity
to accomplish much good. The
growth and development of in
ternal resources depend largely
upon the adoption of systematic
for the improvement of
the highways of the country.

A perfect town is one in
which you see the farmer pat
ronizing the home merchants,
the laborers spending the money
they earn with their tradesmen,
where merchants buy of
others instead Of catalogue
houses and all are animated by
a spirit that they do not pur-
chase abroad if they can be
bought at home.

FORCED the ISSUE
ATTORNEYS PUT the SUPREME
COURT ON RECORD AGAIN.

When the supreme courts decision
In the Halliburton VS.. Roach case was
read by the ablcr lawyers of che state
most Of them saw In II q msnscs to
the prohibition amendment which is
to be submitted to a vote OF the pso-
pie At the November election. Secre.
tary Of State Con. Roach accepted the
petition for submitting that amend.
mant and there was no contest over
1t. When he rejected the petition for
submission Of the proposed senatorial
districting amendment and forced 1t
into the supreme court decision was
obtained In which the doctrine IL laid
down that an amendment to the con.
stitution must be permanent In its
nature and not matter the legisla-
tire may dispose Of Under that doc
trine II was foreseen that the SUI.
preme court might decide, after the
adoption of the prohibition amend.
ment. that II is legislative proposi.
tion and not entitled to a place in
the organic law. So when Hon. John
kennish filed a motion in the supreme
court for rehearing of the case in
volving the validity of the senatorial
districting amendment he recited the
fact that the new doctrine Of that
court might apply, with equal force
TO the prohibition amendment. That
raised an issue on which the court
was bound to pass an opinion. In re-
jecting the motion for a rehearing OF
la hn
put itself on Eecord concerning the
prohibition amendment as follows:
The proposed prohibition amendment
has nothing 10 do with this s>case: no one
has questioned the validity OF that
amendment: II Ia not before the court.
However II may be added that the ques-
tion OF prohibition is subject matter
for amendments to "A constitution, as well
as subject matter for the statutes, and
We apprehend that possibly those inter-
ested have seen to IL that the proposed
measure was constitutional in charac cttr
rather than legislative.
In other words, the sale OF liquor may
be regulated permanently or temporarily.
Where the sale Is prohibited by law the
law passed by one legislature may be re-
pealed by the next. This in one sense
gives the temporary or legislative chaac
ter When prohibited by the constitution
or organic law IL has a degree OF per-
manency. IL prohibits further legisa-
tive action. II remains so until the maxi
ers OF the organic law again speak.
This decision, drawn from the court
by the Republican lawyers. frees the
prohibition amendment from any
doubt that might have rested upon IL
by reason Of the opinion of the court
in the case of the senatorial district
ing amendment however fine the dis
tinction between the two amendments
is made. 1t is evident that the su-
preme court was cautious in dealing
with a matter so full of dynamic force

change in the vote of the minor

ed only 13, 405 votes outside of
St. Louis and st. Louis county.
In 1900 they polled 1898, a

elves with the party of construc-
ion and progress rather than
With the party of obstruction
Ind negation, and the resulting |
egislation Of the Sixty-second |
Congress will vindicate their
,hoice. "
AS the president truly says at
the outset of his letter: The
question will be pot what COM
pleXion of Republicanism one
but whether it is better
for the country to have the Re-
publican party control the legis-
lation for the next two years and
further redeem it's promises. or
to enable a Democratic majority
in the House either to inter
pose veto to Republican
measures, or to formulate and
pass bills to carry out Democrat
ic principles.
The great issue, then, is
whether the Republican or Dem
ocratic party is to be in control of
the next House of Representa-
tives, and the president has CIV
en- us all a platform on which to
stand, has sounded a keynote
and given us rallying ground
where all can meet in common
cause against an irresponsible
political party of incapacity and
reputation. Mr.. Taft makes it
clear that the constructive work
of the Republican party would
not only be halted but perhaps
annulled by a Democratic House
of Representatives.
Regarding the tariff the presi-
dent reiterates his well known
views expressed at various
times during the past year. He
emphasizes the turning of a de-
felt of $5S, 600 900 into a sur
plus of $26, 600. 900: calls atten-
tion to the splendid operation of
the Maximum and Minimum
feature and the work of the Tar
iff Board, adding that: "All Re-
publicans- conservative, pro-
gressive and radical-may well
abide the situation with respect
to the tariff until evidence now
being accumulated shall Justify
changes in the rates.
In particularly happy vein does
the President enumerate and
discuss the work af the last ses-
sion of congress: The Advanced
Railroad Legislation, The Postal
Savings Bank Act, The Conserva-
tion Measures and particularly
the laws affecting labor. On
this latter point he says:
The Republican party at the
last session of congress again
exhibited it's deep and sincere
interest in the general welfare
of the working men and women
of the country by adding import
ant enactments to its already
long record of legislation on this
subject"
And then he mentions the
long list of bills past and pending
in the interest of the working
classes, adding: mo more i'm
portant legislation in the inter-
est of human life has ever been
enacted by congress than the
laws cf the recent session"
With the distinct and clearly
defined issues made more promi-
nent than ever by the presi-
dents letter, the campaign will
be fought out by the united Re-
publican party against one en-
emy-the Democracy. Shall we
elect House Of Representa-
tives that will continue the splen-
did constructive work OF the
past, that will uphold our big,
brainy, calm, firm, president, or
shall we put into partial power

one day with a friend. AS he stepped
from the saloon at the conclusion of
luncheon he almost ran into Captain
Dixon, who was hurrying toward the
vicinity of Goings' place, as though
called there by message.
Wellborn has been followed to his
home at 401 Thirty-flrst street, and in
his trips from his office to the court
rooms in which he practices law.
Since his appointment to the police
commission he has been tireless in
seeking to have police regulations en-
forced. The notorious Imperial cafe,
which, prior to his appointment, ran
wide open and which, it was stated,
could not be closed for lack of evidence
of violation of any police regulations,
has been put out of business.
Wellborn's friends say that he has
never gone out of his way to prosecute
offenders, but has always voted against
a man of whom a charge of lawbreak-
ing was proven.
1t is the consensus of opinion of his
associates that the plan to spy upon
him was formed with the hope of Sc
curing trumped-up evidence tending to
discredit him with the administration
Probably, so 1t is said, 1t was hoped to
have one of the army of plotters who
seem to be working against him, come
TO his office with some dishonest plan,
lay a sum of money on his desk and
with this much evidence have the spy
at the peephole make affidavit that
money was passed.
Commissioner Charles Wellborn abso-
lutely refused to discus the whole mat
ter. When presesed for an interview
he declined to make any statement as
to what he thought was the purpose of
the peephole above his desk.

LUMBER
DEALER AND FLEE
Two Well Dressed Men Attack J.
KengeI After Short BuSi-
ness Talk
STRIKE HIM WITH BLACKJACK
Lumberman Arises from Floor
Calling for Help, While
ASSaiIantS Disappear
STRIKE HIM WITH BLACKJACK

Attacked by two men while he was
seated in his Office at Slauson and Yer
mont avenues shortly after o'clock
yesterday afternoon, William j. Ken
gel, proprietor of lumber yard, living
at 1545 West Eighth street, was struck
on the head with a blackjack and
knocked to the floor. The blow failed
to render him unconscious, and his
calls for help put to fight his assail-
ants, who ran south in Vermont avenue
and made their escape.
Kengel suffered a deep cut on his
head and sustained several slight
bruises where his face came in contact
with the floor.
The lumberman was in his office at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon when two
well-dressed men entered and asked for
prices on 500 feet of a certain grade of
hardwood lumber. Kengel showed them
samples of his hardwood stock and was
discussing the prices when one of the
men walked around behind his chair
and struck the lumber dealer on the
head with a blackjack.
Kengel, with the blood streaming
from a cash in his head, fell forward
and struck the floor. The men then
made movement toward a small safe
several feet away, but hesitated when
Kengel arose and called for help.
The two men then ran out the door,
and while Kengel was calling frantical-
ly for help they raced south in Vermont
avenue for several blocks, then turned
a corner and disappeared.
Kengel Immediately notif1d the Uni
versity police station and gave the off,
GERS descriptions of the men. The vic
tim stated that both were middle aged
men, wore tailor-made clothes and had
the appearance of prosperous business
men.
There were several men working in
the lumber yard, but none reached the
scene in time to get view Of the as
sailants.
Kengel told the police his assailants
evidently expected to knock him in
sensible and then rifle the safe, in
which several hundred dollars was de-
posted.
Detectives were detailed on the case
and made an investigation, but were
unable to find trace of the men or
anything that would lead to their
identity.

GALLANT JUDGE FINES
YOUNG BEAUTY ONLY ST

Neatly dressed in a tailor-made suit
of the latest -ash.on and wearing a
large, broad, black hat set on the
back of her head, Miss Jennett Garner,
daughter of John l.. Garner, 745 West
Adams street, faced Police Judge Fred
erickson yesterday morning on a
charge of violating the traffic ordi-
nance.
1t was Miss Garner's first time in a
police court and she hesitatingly ap-
preached the bar in front of the mag
istrate.
what have you to say about this
charger she was asked by Judge
Frederickson, after he had read the
complaint charging her with turning
the corner of Fourth and Broadway
too short.
II am guilty, your honor" meekly
replied the young woman.
"Why did you do it?" she was asked.
Didn't the officer tell you to stop?"
"Yes; but he said it so loud, it made
me angry. 1 don't care, he did," she
exclaimed as she turned toward her
father, who was standing by her side,
much pleased with the lesson being
taught to his daughter.
Judge, make the fine as heavy as
possible" broke in the father, anxious
to have the girl remember the occa-
sion.
"One dollar, this time, Miss Garner,
but if you violate the ordinance again
| shall have to fine you ten," was the
sentence of the court.

FIGHT OVER SANDWICH
PROVES FATAL TO PHILLIPS
SuccumbS to Injuries inflicted by
Jesse Navarro

AS the result of injuries received in
a fight Monday night over the pos
session of a sandwich at Fifth street
and Central avenue, Ralph Phillips,
until recently employed as a driver by
the Maier Brewing company, died in
the Sisters hospital yesterday after
noon.
Jesse Navarro, his assailant, who
was arrested Tuesday night by Detec-
tives Carroll and Ingram, is being held
in the city Jail. He probably will be
arraigned in court this morning.
Phillips was eating at lunch stand
near his home at 528 Central avenue
when Navarro approached the stand
and took a seat beside him. Each of
them ordered a sandwich, and when
it was ready each claimed 1t as his.
The fight ensued.
The body is at the Pierce Bros.
morgue and an effort is being made
to locate his relatives.

COURTEO by GLENDALE,
THEY LOVE Los ANGELES
Tropico and West Glendale Resi-
dents Start Back Fire to
Annexation Move

Glendale's plan of annexing West
Glendale and Tropico districts, which
has had smooth sailing down to date,
is scheduled to encounter snags and
serious obstacles, providing the pro-
tests of those who favor waiting and
merging with Los Angeles avail.
Those opposed to the annexation to
Glendale of their home districts have
not had much to say against the
proposition because the inducements
Glendale held out in the form of free
electric light connections, fire protec-
ton, a more uniform water system,
better streets and street repairs We're
arguments they could not answer. All
these inducements, the anti-anneXa-
tionists declare, were swept aside
when the trustees of Glendale dis
played weakness in compelling the
Pacific Electric Railway company to
open the streets it has blockaded in
Brand boulevard.
Brand boulevard in the Tropico dis
trict now is being curbed, and the
cross roads. the taxpayers fear, are to
be blockaded by the railway com
pany. Also, the anti-anneXationists
say, Glendale is selfish in it's motive
in desiring the merger of the outside
districts. The agitators for annexation
have held out the bait that when West
Glendale and Tropico are annexed the
taxpayers will reap the benefit of
large amount of tax money from the
Southern Pacific Railroad company.
ORGANIZE A CLUB
Statements have been made at an
nexation meetings that the railroad
company would have to pay Glendale
1000 taxes each year for the mile
age inside the proposed city limits.
Those interested in West Glendale say
that they see no reason why West
Glendale should not profit from this
tax money. They are willing to wait
for annexation to Los Angeles.
About twenty residents of West
Glendale, who are opposed to the pro-
posed merger with Glendale, and who
favor organizing. a city of the fifth
class in their own community, or else
compelling the annexationists dealing
with them as a unit, met last night
and organized an association. They
named their society the Tropico-West
Glendale Protective association. The
officers elected were: NJ p. Hyde,
president; H. L. Webster, vice presi-
dent; r. P. McMullen, treasurer; Q.
A. Rudel, secretary.

DYING MEN ARE RESCUED
FROM BOTTOM OF TANK
SucCumb to Fumes in Receptacle
and Are Revived After
Much Effort

Overcome by the fumes of paint
in tank in which they were working,
Charles Carson and Will Dykester, en-
ployes of the Pacific Tank company,
narrowly escaped suffocation yesterday
afternoon in the plant of the Western
Metal company at 1854 Palmetto street.
The men were discovered unconscious
in the tank by Ivan Addison, an em-
ploye of the metal company He knew
the men were working on the tank and
not noticing them about it he made an
investigation and found them lying on
the bottom of the tank. He sum-
moned several employees in the works
and sent hurry call to central police
headquarters for the ambulance.
When the ambulance arrived the
men were almost dead. Patrolman O..
L. Gilpin, wagonman, rushed to the
side of the men and by his prompt
action and knowledge of such cases
they were revived.
The men were taken to the Crocker
street hospital, where they were given
further treatment. They were removed
to their homes late last night.

OUTLOOK ASSOCIATION
INVESTIGATES BAKERS
Visit Bakeries and Find Only One
Complying with the
Ordinance
"Do you eat bakers bread?"

do you eat bakers bread?'
If so, perhaps you would like to know
something of the conditions under
which it is produced.
Members of the Outlook association,
having for it's officers Mrs. James
Scherfee, president; Mrs. Edwin M.
Williams. vice president; Mrs. George
Brookwell, recording secretary, have
decided that they will make such an
investigation. The committees have al
ready been at work upon the matter
and report that only one bakery they
have visited complies with the ordi-
nances; that is, only one of those to
which they were given access. FIRE.
uuently they were not allowed to en-
ter a building, on the ground that the
men at work within were insufficient
ly clothed.
There is a city ordinance which pro-
vides expressly that bakers shall wear
a complete suit of white linen or other
washable material, which shall be fresh
each day.
The temperature required in the bak-
cries is high, and induces excessive
perspiration. The possibilities when
men work with uncovered bodies are
easily imaginable. Conditions other
wise were found to be equally bad in
many of the shops which were visited
These conditions were reported at the
meeting OF the dSSOCldIlOH uSlu 1ueS-
dav afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Edwin M. williams, 1852 Raymond ave-
nue. Other points which were reported
were the new ordinance requiring that
hOuseholders leave garbage cans not
less than fifty feet, nor more than
seventy-five feet from the curb, for the
convenience of the collector.
At the meeting to be held July 20
Mrs. A. M. Seeker will give a talk on
"The Control of the Press by Inter
ests," Mrs. Monroe Conley viii con-
tinue the discussion of bakery ordi-
nances, and Mrs. George Brookwell wiib
give account of council proceedings FOR
the two weeks just passed.
The outlook association has reor-
ganized, dropping the word political
from it's name as it was frequently
confused with the various polltlcal
equality leagues of the city. The mem
hers of this association are interested
in studying the political situation, city
ordinances and the enforcement OF
them, and have given particular atten-
tion to the laws governing bakeries.
