The San Francisco call., 1910-06-29

president stuck to dis Endorsement of
Hayes, Me became convinced that the
letter to Teller was political mistake.
The result was telegram and a second
letter asking Teller not to make known
the substance of the first missive and
not to give it out for publication. 1t
might have remained a political secret
until the end of the campaign had not
some one in Washington been indis-
Greet
Nat Ellery's campaign attacks, di-
rected promiscuously against all the
other candidates for the republican
nomination for governor, have at last
won sufficient attention to draw a re-
Spouse to one of his most recent out-
bursts. Secretary Charles DERRICK of
the Lincoln Roosevelt league yesterday
paid his respects TO Ellery and his man
ayers.
ELLERY Is CONTRADICTED
The occasion was the Ellery charge
that ''juggled figures" concerning the
cost of work on the state normal school
had been issued from the Johnson head
quarters and that these figures had
been furnished by State Senator George
s. Walker of San Jose. Ellery's man
ager referred to the latter as DIRTY
Shirt Walker
THE attack on Senator walker is
=
terday. THE figures referred to were
not given by walker, and Walker
hasn't been here in months. The best
answer ! can give to the unwarranted
attack on him is that he has been
elected to the senate once and to the
assembly twice. that he has the conf
dence and good will of the whole COM
munity and thatshe has as clean a rec
ord in the legislature as any man who
has ever gone out of Santa Clara
county.
LIKE LICKING A CRIPPLE
1T is like licking a cripple to take
smash at one of these Ellery Jokes,
but this dirty shirt fling is so gratui-
tous that it should be answered. Per-
sonally Ellery isn't factor in the cam
paign for governor and doesn't deserve
attention. The only excuse for his
campaign, outside of the fact that he
has the biggest swelled head In Cali
fornia, is that he might be of some as
sistance to the machine by drawing
few votes from Johnson.
"All that 1 know about Ellery is
what was told me by a former trustee
of the Agnews asylum. This was to
the effect that his Office was so far
behind with it's work that after adver-
tising for bids on the Agnews job it
was found that none of the plans and
SDeclIlCdllOAS
thing had to be thrown out and done
over again.
CONTRACTORS KEPT WAITING
I learned from another source that
several contractors waited for more
than a year for the money due them for
work at Agnews because the final speci-
flcations from Ellery's Office, needed to
be filed before the claims could be al
lowed, had not been prepared. The
point is that his department has been
run for several years with complete
lack of executive ability and is all
hailed up
'Ellery told a friend of mine at Santa
Rosa that he had lot of material with
which to expose Curry and Anderson.
If there isn't any more foundation for 1t
than there is for the attacks he has ex-
ploded on Johnson, there isn't anything
to it but a pack of lies. Incidentally,
Ellery makes the declaration that he is
running Independently and entirely on
his own resources
CHANCE FOR PUBLICITY
The Lincoln Roosevelt league has of
fered to put certified public account
ant on its books and make public the
source of receipt and the disbursement
of every cent of campaign funds for the
gubernatoriaI candidate if any other
candidate for governor will do the
same AS the question OF the source OF
his campaign fund is the only thing of
interest about Ellery's campaign, he
might come out and take advantage of
this offer"
