drawn approximately $116,25O in cash,

eight years on the active list, a record

SACRAMENTO, April 26.-The
Southern Pacific domination of
state government, or political free
dom; popular rule or corporation
gang rule.
There is nothing new in Cali
fornia in the bare statement OF
those alternatives. They are as
old as the corrupt political ma
chine of VIM. F. Herrin. But
there is something new in the way
california is facing them today.
The voters of California will
have to choose between them when
they elect a new governor this fall.
For thirty years the voters have
been choosing the same way for
railroad rule. This year California
faces a great, golden opportunity
to choose, for the first time for
herself. For there are two new
elements in the time-worn political
alternatives.
The insurgent movement, start
ed at the national capital has
spread to the Pacific border.
CALIFORNIA; last legislature gave
the people a direct primary law
under which the voters have power
to do their own nominating for
public office instead of leaving
that important function to corpora
tion-controlled conventions.
You must know that during the
80 years of railroad rule in Cali
fornia, Herrin's grip has been so
tight that no man could hold Of
flee unless he bowed to the will of
the corporation bosses. Not only
in the large business centers, but
in the little villages as well, the
s. p. has thrown out it's tentacles
until it has been impossible for a
man, no matter how small the Of
flee sought, to get to that office
without needing the crack of the
8. P. whip.
Conventions have been dominat-
ed and the delegates herded like
sheep. At the last gubernatorial
