STRAW Vote IS
CAUSE OF COMMENT
Bell Beats Anderson in Poll
Taken at Adams Springs
by Guests

That Theodore A. Bell, who will be
the democratic nominee for governor,
and whose name is anathema with
local union labor politicians generally,
is stronger with the voters of the state
than Alden Anderson was indicated by
a straw vote taken at Adams springs.
That poll the labor party men are
making the basis of some interesting
calculations
The straw poll of the guests at
Adams Springs gave Charles F. Curry
clear majority over all his republican
opponents and almost majority over
the entire field. Johnson ran second
Anderson poor fourth and behind
Theodore A. Bell, the democratic nom-
inee by default
The straw vote. according to the
| labor party leaders who are pondering
1T, was taken week ago last Sunday.
sort, taken in form. The ballot box was
opened and the vote canvassed by a
committee, of which, it is said Presf-
dent Casey of the board of works was
| member.
The straw ballot resulted in total
poll Of 131. Out OF that total Curry re-
ceived 81, Johnson &c, Bell 20, Anderson
IS. Stanton 5, Ellery 1, scattering 4.
Curry's total of 81 gave him majority
of seven over the combined vote for
Johnson, Anderson, Stanton and Ellery
He received more than twice as many
votes as Johnson, more than three
! times many Anderson and more
than II times as many Stanton.
The kernel of the nut, as related to
the labor party mems calculations lies
in Curry's vote of little more than
three to one over Anderson and Bells
lead over the republican candidate they
are supposed to be programmed for.
They consider poll taken at resort
of that character fairly representative
of the state, and such full of cold
comfort for Anderson and his hackers.

tied citizen; as man well
versed in the study and practice
of public questions, Walter Mac
arthur may be depended upon
to serve the people of the fourth
congressional district with credit
to himself and advantage to
those whom he represents.
AS between Kahn, the 1ncum-
bent, and Macarthur there Is
no room for comparison. The
record of the former during his
various terms in Office shows
him to be the ready and willing
servant of the interests" as
against the people. With few
exceptions Kahn has voted, or
not voted, as the case may be,
as directed by the stand pat
tiers" and against the wishes of
his constituents
Kahn's record on labor bills is
uniformly bad. He is recorded
upon all occasions either as vot-
ing against labor or as present
or mot voting.
In view Of these facts we con-
slider 1t our duty to support the
candidacy of Macarthur in op-
position to Kahn, not upon par
tisan grounds, but upon the sim
gle ground that Macarthur may
be depended upon to represent
the real interests of the people
in an Independent, intelligent
and courageous manner.
We, therefore, respectfully
urge upon our coworkers in the
labor movement and the voters
generally of the fourth congress
sional district to work and vote
for Walter Macarthur for con-
gress, both at the primaries and
on general election day.

Aside from the fight between
Macarthur and Troy for the DEM
ocratic congressional nomination
in the fourth district, the only
real democratic contest at the pri-
maries will be for the nomination
for presiding justice of the first
district court of appeal, for which
there are three bourbon candi-
dates.
Judge Thomas j. Lennon of San
Rafael has things all his own way
so far as the republican nomina-
tion for the appellate bench is
concerned, but on the democratic
side there is a three cornered
fight among Judge George E.
Church of Fresno, Judge Lucas F.
Smith of Santa Cruz and Judge
James V. Coffey Of San Francisco
Judge Bradley ". Sargent of Mon
terey was looked upon as a con-
tender early in the campaign. but
failed to file his nomination pa
pers. Judge Smith has made prac-
tical1y no bid for support in San
Francisco and the contest seems
to be between Judge Coffey and
Judge Church, though neither is
making an open, aggressive fight.
At democratic state headuuar-
ters it has been announced that
nothing will be done toward cam
paigning before the primaries,
but that as soon as the republican
nominees are chosen on August Is
the battle will be on in earnest.

WALTER MACARTHUR
INDORSED FOR CONGRESS
Labor Leaders Line Up in the Battle To
Prevent Reelection Of Julius Kahn

Walter Macarthur, candidate
for democratic nomination to
congress from the fourth district,
has been given the promise of
strong and active union labor
support. Ten of the most prom
inent union labor leaders of San
Francisco have formally Endorsed
his candidacy and have pledged
themselves and their influence to
the furtherance OF his contest
with Robert P. Troy for the priv
ilege of fighting Congressman
Julius Kahn at the general efec-
tion.
The Endorsement of Macarthur
is nonpartisan pledge. The
signers of the document put
themselves on record as support
ing him as an independent candi-
date and sympathizer with organ
lied labor. Incidentally, Con-
gressman Kahn is scored as "a
servant of the interests" and 1t
Is remarked that there is mo
comparison" between his claims
and those of Macarthur for polit-
ical preferment.
The Endorsement given Mac
arthur is as follows:
The coming election for mem
bers of congress Is of the great
est Importance to the working
people of the country, since it
will determine the fate of the
much needed labor legislation
which has been pending before
that body for a number of years.
The present congress, like its
predecessors in recent years,
has completely ignored the ur-
gent petitions of the labor
movement, supported by great
body of intelligent public opin-
ion, for the passage of bills to
protect it from aggression at the
hands of powerful combinations
of capital, whose ultimate OBJ
ject is the destruction of the Ia
Dor movement and the conse-
quent reduction of the working
class to a state of absolute help
lessness
The closing hours of the last
session of congress were signal
nj
preparation for the purpose or
prosecuting labor organizations
in certain instances as illegal
combinations" under the anti
trust law, This action presages
others of equally ominous por-
tent.
In accordance with the advice
of the American federation OF
labor TO do everything possible
to insure the election to con-
gress of men who understand
and sympathize with the aspira-
tions of labor, the undersigned
have determined to do every
thing in our power to further
the candidacy of Walter Mac
arthur for congress from the
fourth district of California.
Macarthur has been identified
with the labor movement of San
Francisco and OF the country, as
well as with many other causes
making for the advancement of
the public welfare, for a period
of 20 years. Throughout that
period he has proved himself
consistent, active and tireless
advocate of the peoples inter-
ests; a man of strong convic-
tions and the courage to defend
them.
AS tried and true trades
unionist, known and highly es-
teemed by the labor movement

at the Otter rock an interesting light
ship. 1t is unnamed. yet 1t can be
relied on to display the warning light
to guide the mariner on this dangerous
coast. 1t Is a very ingeniously con-
structed vessel and the only one OF its
kind. In its two steel tanks sufficient
gas can be stored to supply the vessel
for several months. Experiments have
shown that the light may be depended
upon to burn continuously for months
at a time. The approximate duration
of the light a always be predeter-
mined, and there Is no danger what
ever of the light being extinguished by
wind or spray. The light is visible at
a distance OF from eight TO twelve
miles. The lightship also has a bell,
which is made to ring automatically
by means of an ingenious device that
utilizes the gas as it passes from the
