JOHNSON MAKES REPLY
TO CRAFT CASE CHARGE
Republican Candidate for Cover
nor Speaks at Woodland on
Northern State Tour

WOODLAND, Cal, Oct. 17.-Hiram
w. Johnson, the Republican candidate
for governor, replied tonight to num-
ber of the questions that were recently
propounded by his Democratic oppon-
ent concerning his connection with the
so-called graft prosecution in san
Francisco.
After declaring that Mr.. Bell, the
Democratic nominee, was receiving the
backing of every man allied with the
influences that had debauched the gov
ernment of San Francisco and the
state, Johnson said:
eff anyone wants to know 1T, / will
tell him that 1 was connected with the
graft prosecution in san Francisco, and
that I was paid for it. Is it any dis
grace to accept remuneration for a
years honest work? If so, / accepted
it.
"There were but two classes connect
ed with the graft prosecutions, to whom
the connection is q disgrace. First are
the unconvicted felons who were prose-
cuted and, second, are the political
class whose members are reaching out
after votes from among those Grim
inals."
Armory hall was crowded with peo-
pie to hear the speaker. Johnson had
completed tour of Colusa, Glenn and
Yolo counties when he arrived here to-
night. He travelled in a special train
accompanied by 150 friends from Sac
ramento. Speeches were made at Da-
Wis, Willows, Maxwell, Colusa, Will
liams, Arbuckle, Dunning and Zamora.

COAL FRAUDS TIE UP ALL
ALASKA LAND GRANTS

SEATTLE, Oct. 17.-An attempt of
Alaska coal land claimants in the
Kayak district to make final payments
and receive patents on their lands was
defeated by the receiver of the land
office at Juneau, Alaska, who refused
to accept the payments and issue Of
eral land office has cleared UP the
present ENHANCEMENT, in which all
Alaska lands are involved.
C. A. Mckenzie and John w. Roberts
returned from Juneau last night after
a fruitless attempt to pay $4,000 for
final proof, and to obtain patents on
two groups of coal claims, consolidated
by purchase for cash from the original
locators under the law Of 1908
On the ground twenty-four hours be-
fore the expiration of the time for final
payment, Mr.. Roberts rendered 100000
on behalf of the Carbon Mountain
Anthracite Coal company, and McKen-
zie a similar amount for the Mckenzie
Anthracite Coal company Receiver of
Public Money Mullen at Juneau re-
fused to take the money and bind the
government to anything, but offered
to give them receipts for the amounts
proffered. This the Seattle men de-
clined.
The two groups are close together in
the Kayak district, near the claims on
which criminal prosecutions have been
brought in the federal courts.
Roberts declared that neither OF the
development companies entered any OF
the claims, but that the locators were
residents of eastern Washington

.HANDLEY ATTACKS
CORRUPT POLITICS
Democratic Nominee for Con-
gresS Delivers ForCeful Ad-
dress on Money Power
COURAGEOUS MEN NEEDED
Insurgency of Stephens Supplies
Theme for Speech at Gen.
trail and Vernon
COURAGEOUS MEN NEEDED

The following address was delivered
by Lorin A. Handley, Democratic nom
inee for congress from the Seventh
DISTRICT, at the mass meeting held in
Akey's hail. Central and Vernon ave-
nues, last. night. Stephen q. Long,
Democratic nominee for the superior
bench, and Lloyd McAtee, Democratic
nominee for the Office OF county clerk,
were the other speakers at the meet
ing. Mr.. Handley said:
THE greatest struggle in which the
American people are now engaged is
the struggle against the domination of
the government by the money power.
The citizens Of the nation are called
upon, as soldiers of peace, to redeem
our republic. They are called upon TO
rehabilitate our American institutions
with American principles"
TARIFF AND LIVING COST
Mr.. Handley also discussed the tar
If and the high cost of living. Incl
dentally he flung the gantlet at his
opponent, William d. Stephens. Mr..
Handley said:
II have said before, and I will con-
tinue to reiterate, that the chief duty
Of the people is to choose good men.
They must choose men whose fidelity
to the principles they represent Is un-
questionable. And right here l want
to pause to say that our country is in
sorrow tonight because we have lost a
faithful servant, Senator Dolliver, who
was bigger than a party. and who
fought the battle of the people. He
was a hero and d patriot. His death
is loss that this nation can i'll af-
ford in this great national crisis. But
those Of us who remain must continue
this fight until the republic is re-
deemed.
But l say to you that the people
must choose men they can trust, men
with convictions and courage to fight
for them. My opponent is hard to find.
Mr.. Stephens deserted the regulars to
run on the Lincoln Roosevelt ticket.
When he Joined the insurgent Repub-
licans, with them he branded the reg
ular candidates unfit for office. Chief
among these the acknowledgements
league fought Fredericks.
But how is Stephens insurging
now? Has any one heard him de-
nounce the regulars since the primary?
Does he present his insurgency by
supporting ]. ID. Fredericks for dis
trict attorney, whom he branded unht
for office before the primary? Where
does Mr.. Stephens stand? He must
declare himself before the people. This
Is no time for playing double.
1.-THE people will have no trimmer.
Mr.. Stephens must answer. Is he an
insurgent that will fight the standpat-
ters, or is he a regular and opposing
insurgery?
"Mr. Stephens must let the people
know. He must speak plainly, and
whenever Mr. stephens will consent to
speak on the same platform with me
l will change my whole program and
go before the people any time and
place he chooses"
Mr. Handley's address was received
with considerable enthusiasm and fire.
uuently punctuated with applause
The hall was filled. and all of the
speakers were we'll received. A sig
nifcant feature of the meeting was the
presence of large number of Repub-
licans.

wecome Theodore A. Bell, Democratic
candidate for governor. Following his
speech to the big audience, Bell ad-
dressed an overflow meeting in the

night Bell asked Hiram Johnson, the
Republican candidate for governor, to
answer the following question::
'If your participation in the San
Francisco graft prosecution, Mr.. john
son, was inspired solely by patriotic
motives, why did you desert the prose-
cution to defend J. Dalzell Brown, who
wrecked the California Safe Deposit
and Trust company and brought
misery to 10000 men, women and chill
dren who were depositors in that
bank?"
Bell left Dunsmuir this morning, and
