BOLT OF RALSTON
MAY Be BOOMERANG
United States Subtreasurer's
Action Condemned by Local
Federal Officials

The boiling of the republican ticket
by William c. Ralston, United States
subtreasurer at San Francisco, was the
occasion for a good deal of amused
comment and discussion among federal
officials in this city yesterday. If Rails
ton thought his weighty explanation
of why and how it happened would be
taken seriously by the prominent men
of the federal service in San Francisco
he failed to Judge of the effect.
There was more discussion, in fact,
as to how long 1t might be before
Ralston would be gently shelved than
there was regarding his untimely step
into the political limelight. His avowal
that he had become bolter because
he could not vote for man or party
that had ''repudiated President Taft"
caused smiles. His assertion that he
didn't know of prominent federal
official in the state who would vote for
Johnson caused laughter.
STRATTON FOR JOHNSON
While Ralstons action was quietly
criticised and condemned, local fed
seral officials would say nothing for
publication in open criticism of the
act. Collector of the Port Fred S.
Stratton. who is the real head of the
federal brigade on this coast, refused
to discuss Ralston's bolt, but he did
say:
/ am a republican and am go
ing to vote for Hiram w. Johnson
tomorrow. Johnson is the repub-
lican nominee for governor and he
ought to have the support and the
vote of every republican. This is !.
true as regards every party candf-N
date, unless there is something
which makes him personally OBJ
that would be imposed upon him.
TO my mind, the federal officials
are the representatives OF their
party, and as one of them believe
1t my duty to support and vote for
the man my party has selected as
it's nominee for governor.
RalStons unfortunate reference TO
1.-THE reputation of Taft by the re-
publican party of California caused him
to become the target for good many
queries yesterday from his friends.
Several of these same friends also
extended the cold comfort of the TACT
that President Taft has no love for a
boltef and that his personal and Of
fetal sympathies do not run to the man
who deserts his party RalSton was
given all the opportunity he needed to
explain just how 1t happened that he
had got in wrong"
At luncheon yesterday in a down.
town cafe some of these friends were
seeking to secure from Ralston an eX-
planation of his bolt.
How did it happen?" asked one.
why do you charge Johnson with
having repudiated Taft? Has he done
so in any of his speeches.
Il have been told that he has," an
swered Ralston.
Have you heard him do so?"
No, 1 haven't, but I understand that
the republican platform repudiates
Taft
Have you read that PLATFORM"
No
There was more comfort in the as
surance promptly given the subtreas-
urer that Johnson had never said one
word in criticism of Taft or his admin
istration, and that the republican state
platform, which Ralston has not read.
contains a fortnight Endorsement of
the administration.

Judge erred in his Instructions to the
jury and that all the legal rights Of
the defendant were not conserved.
Thompsons attorneys have not yet
read Judge DUNES charge to the jury,
and the case went over to Saturday
next to give them an opportunity TO
DO so. At the same time the motion

Ruef himself has been busy, not OnIy
through his agents. but personally He
has busted himself in every locality
where his discredited influence might
avail to win votes for Bell, and has
even made open pleas to men IN Mar

Fourth and Market streets he urged an
old time acquaintance to remove a
Johnson button from his coat lapel. The
request was refused. Ruef promptly

nominee.

p. Randsdell of Louisiana as president
and Captain j. e. Ellison as secretary
treasurer, the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress brought to close
IN Washington Friday its seventh an
nual convention, which has been char-
acterized from start to finish by com
plete harmony. The resolutions com
mend the attitude of President Taft

ment of waterways to be paid out of
current revenues, where possible, otn-
erwise by the issuance and sale of
bonds.

President Taft will send a message
to congress this week urging congress
to enact legislation that will close the
boundary dispute which New Mexico
has raised with Texas. 1t is under
stood that the president in his mes
sage will strongly concede that the

mend that congress set the matter al
rest by recognizing the Clark survey
of 1859 and 1860 as the boundary line
between Texas and New Mexico.
