ton of the insurgent movement in the

The republicanism of today he
said, comes not from the Ballingers

the greatest of whom is Theodore
Roosevelt. My tour of California has
taught me that God has given us a
great heritage in our state, as good as
that of any race, and with heritage
comes our responsibility It is for us
to see that this state is well governed.
We all know that the government
of California, which the Southern Pa
cihc machine has given us, is impure.
corrupt, rotten to the heart 1t is
our duty to reclaim our heritage,
State Senator John w. Stetson made
an address which the crowd received
with cheers. He adjured his hearers
to give their votes to Johnson at the
primary and the general elections.
Johnson and his party were met bv

DUNPHY WEALTH SAFE
FROM "DODIE" VALENCIA
Supreme Court DismisSes Ap-
peal Regarding Guardianship

Whatever legal grip "Dodie" Va
lencia may once have held upon the for
tune of James Clay Dunphy. the cat
tleman, is being pried loose by the
courts. The supreme court, in a de-
cision written by Justice Lorigan and
handed down yesterday, forever bars
the Valencia woman from having her
Quondam spouse declared competent.
Taken in connection with the decision
Of Judge SeaweH in the superior court
two days ago, which annulled the mar
riage between the two, yesterdays de-
cision makes the James Clay Dunphy
fortune inaccessible TO "Dodie"
Judge Trout in the superior court
August of last year declared Dunphy
incompetent and appointed his sister,
Miss Jennie Dunphy. as his guardian.
The proceedings were fought by
.'Dodie,' whose attorneys two days later
filed notice of appeal. The supreme
court has dismissed the appeal because
it was prematurely brought.
The decision is looked upon as i'm
portant because of the fact that even
should "Dodie" Valencia secure a re-
versal of Judge Seawen in a higher
court. thus declaring the marriage
valid. the fortune of James Clay will
be in the hands of his sister, Jennie,
and could not be brought under con-
troll of the wife.

AMATEUR MOTOR
RACES A SUCCESS
Eastern Automobilists Enthnsi-
astic Over Outcome of "Simon
Pure Sport Events
Experience in California Has
Proved Worth of Such
Contests
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

1t is evident that the east has solved
the automobile contest question, at
least from the viewpoint of the
owner. Recently at White Plains.
N. Y, the initial event of the recently
organized amateur contest association
took place in the form of a hill climb.
The national automobile trade papers
are loud in their praise of the event,
and it is claimed that events for
Simon pure" sport can be run so that
not only can considerable good sport
be enjoyed but great benefit can be
conferred on the automobile industry
throughout the country.
California had thfs demonstrated in
1908 and in 1909 at the Mitchell jubilee
on Alum Rock hill out. of San Jose,
when owners came from all sections
of the state north Of Tehachapi to par
ticipate. In the latter event so owners
competed for prizes and in view of the
recent experiences of those who have
tried to hold automobile contests,
where no personal gain was to be de-
rived, it proves conclusively that what
the east is realizing should have been
appreciated long time ago by local
motorists and the local trade.
There is. however. one objection
from the standpoint of the dealer, and
that is that the full value of the par
ticular make of motor car is not made
apparent in the hands of the owner.
This being the case motor contests
should be divided into two classes, the
amateur defined by the strictest lines,
and the professional. When this is
done contests may be expected which
Will call forth an entry list that Will
make them worth while witnessing.
