ANSWER TO IGNORANCE

Editor Herald I have attended some
political meetings and read the papers;
have noted what is said of the candi-
dates, but the speakers and press alike
are dumb in regard to the sheriff's
office, with the exception of remark
made by one speaker something like
this: SHERIFF Hammel reached down
and picked up a defeated machine poll
tician and gave him a job" This is
an fnsinuation, and there must be more
to it, judging by the salary that goes
with it. This is a very important
branch of the county government. Busy
working men have no opportunity OF
knowing how the various offices are
conducted except through the press.
Is the Good Government organiza-
ton cleaning up the county in spots,
or are there some clean places? Please
inform us where they are, 50 we may
vote intelligently. IGNORANCE.
Personally Sheriff Hammel is well
liked, and no charges have been made
against his honesty. The objection to
his reelection now is his utilization
with the Southern Pacific machine

Law" for one thoroughly indorse DR..
C. Z. Locke's stand on that all i'm
portant question to save citizens.
Judging by the states at present
having the best laws and enforcing
them with regard to safety devices on
railroads, mills, etc, we find these
same states have good Sunday laws.
If there are some people in the state
of California who would suck the life
blood out of the toiler who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow by
keeping his nose to the grindstone
seven days a week for the same wage
he should earn in six, thank good
ness, DR.. Locke is one at least who is
going to fight for the right every
workingman will appreciate and is
honestly entitled to.

HEARST IN POLITICS

MFR. HEARST'S third party in New
N York seems to be regarded as
III an anomaly and puzzle. The
managers of the leading parties are
wondering how much harm he is GO
ing to do to Mr. Stimson or Mr.. Dix
Enthusiastically, Hearst is slashing
right and left with mere generalities
and denunciations and no constructive
platform, and apparently hugely en-
ioying the newest chance to crafty his
conceit by getting in the limelight.
The Hearst papers TEEN with news
of the unbounded enthusiasm manifest
ed for the yellow journalist and his
lackeys on the ticket. According to
their tales the people regard Hearst
dreams that the ticket viii win, and
seemingly Hearst hopes only to ac-
complish the defeat of Ridiculous
Dix" as he calls him. Now, isn't that
a typical Hearst method of campaign
ing
The present campaign will probably
finish the yellow journalists personally
conducted party as a serious political
entity. He is now reduced to the
necessity of taking for nominees a lot
Of nonentities, for whom he pays all the
campaign expenses, evidently consid-
ering the outlay worth while as ad-
vertising and a chance to get new
notoriety. In the next campaign, judg-
ing by the falling off in his supporters
Of standing, he viii be compelled to
fan back on a ticket something like
this:
GoVernor-William r. Hearst.
Secretary Of state-NIr. Mutt
Comptroller-Ar. jeff.
State treasurer-Happy HooLgan.
Attorney general-Afr. Howson Lott.
Commissioner Of educatlon-One Of
the Katzenjammer Kids.
superintendent of banking-The other
KatZenjammer Kid.
superintendent of printing Gloomy
Gus.
Probably among the vice-disease doc
tors who advertise so literally in his
papers ne has enough friends who
couIu Nc uIdiLeu 10 Ill out the ticket.
The large ? d intelligent clientele who
make up the readers" Of the pro-
ductions OF the quack doctors, and
Mutt, Jeff, Hooligan, and the rest of
the special contributors, car be de-
pended on as the party nucleus through
thick and thin and forever and anon.

WALLACE AND STATE DIVISION

Editor Herald: In your issue today
is a statement that A. J. Wallace. Re
publican candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, is making a fight for state di-
vision and is president of the State
Division league. The facts are that
Mr.. Wallace quit his efforts for state
division over year ago, and is not
now nor never was a member or officer
of the State Division league. The rec
ord of Mr. Wallace on state division is
brief He was chairman of a commit
tee elected at a mass meeting of citt-
ZenS held in this city September 13,
1909, to protest against the 40 per cent
increase in the taxes of Los Angeles
county made that year by the state
board of equalization. That committee
was instructed to take steps looking
toward the immediate division of the
state, and called a delegated conven-
ton which met October 5. As president
of that convention MIR. Wallace allowed
an outsider, who is opposed to state
ferrng the question of state division
to a special committee as to advisable
ity of action. Mr. Wallace left the
chair and spoke in favor of the resolu-
ton, which was carried, the state di-
visionists being voted down. Mean
while Mr. Wallace declined an invita-
ton to join the State Division league
The convention adjourned to December
/, but neither Mr.. Wallace, its prest-
dent, nor the committee with it's re-
port being present it was adjourned
sine die.
