well nigh turned its columns over to WoowInes
campaign the only effect of which must be to offend
Fredericks' friends, and he being the republican nom
inee the result of the primaries, they would hardly
be human if they did not make reprisas Some OF
the Los Angeles county press is even now calling
upon Johnson to get in and line UP his followers
who have bolted Fredercks That is. not fair to
Johnson. He is not responsible for the muss and
could not touch II without making still more trouble
All reports with reference TO the big majority
for Johnson in the north make his election certain
that this Los Angeles will not endanger that
result, but it does make certain reduced majority
for him in Los Angeles. And he is not in any way
responsible or to be blamed for it. either
AN UGLY TEMPER
Fredericks not judcious campaigner. One
night when he was on the stump at Glendora
man in the audience put him question that he
did not relish By way of reply he threatened to
have his questoner put under arrest for disturbing
the meeting, and his ridiculous bad temper gave
the Herald an opportunity to say:
Considered as a matter of tactics the candidate
made egregious mistake in losing his temper. He
displayed side of his character that nobody had
yet called attention to-a side that ought to be con-
sidered in the choice of to ntrust with great
power.
Mr. Schifnan was entirely within his rights.
and was moreover within the bounds of good taste
and decorum. He rowdy trying to break
up a meeting, was to presumed in all fairness
seeking light If Fredericks had had con-
vncing answer he could have completely disarmed
his inqusitor and probably sympathy and sup
port by it.
In the final result Fredericks by narrow
majority in county usually safe for the republican
ticket by anywhere from $1,000 to 10000 The
patronage of the office is very large, it employs
twentyfour deputies at high salaries, but this cuts
little figure in sizing up the importance and sig
nfcance of control of the initiation of criminal
proceedings.
WHAT THIS OFFICE MEANS
Long ago a man we'll skilled in politics told me
that the office of district attorney Of New York
city the most important official position in the
United States | did not understand the sinister
sense Of his remark, not being at the time wise"
to the crookedness of our upper circles" In
older community had not known men of wealth
and standing who made it their business to employ
"outside man" to commit feonies for their profit
and believed that the functions of public prose
cutor were mostly confined to the vulgar offenses
of thieves and vagabonds. But it seems that in San
Francisco and Los Angeles it is worth while to
control this office.

BUCKETS OF MUD

Fredericks was accused of all sorts of crimes and
n1isdemeanors with what justice I am quite unable
to say. Such accusations in the height of political
season are usually regarded chiefly as an evidence
Of excited feeling in the makers rather than as proof
Of moral delinquency on the part of the accused
On the other hand the Los Angeles Times replied
with the sinister insinuation that if Woolwine were
elected the investigation into the recent dynamite
explosion would not be honestly" conducted. The
Times probably meant that it would not be con
Quoted by Earl Rogers, and for further light on
this subject beg leave to refer to the history of
the graft prosecutions in San Francisco.
ASSORTED ACCUSATIONS
As an example of the campaign material used
against Fredericks quote from the hostile press:
Mr. Fredericks makes adequate defense
against the charge of having shielded, once but
many times, persons guilty of serious crimes Walter
Parker stands accused of having attempted to
rupt City Clerk Lelande in the Hotel Alexandra by
bribery in order to put through the steal of the river
bed for corporations Fredericks did nothing about
it Instead he has made Parker his boon companion,
oonhdant and adviser
Percy Harmon involved in the same river
bed scandal FTedericks made no attempt to bring
at liberal salary in his office
Lucy King forged will. Fredericks, sworn to
prosecute crime and knowing of this crime did
nothing about it. Instead he made use of the oppor-
tunity afforded by the forged King wills to profit
personally to the extent of about $12,000 and by
methods that closely akin o the betrayal of
oonhding clients, according to Mr. Woolwne,s
charges.
SPLIT AMONG GOO COOS
Fredericks was accused further of protecting syn
dicated vice The division of sentiment was so
acute that the good government organization was
red hot after Fredericks while the anti-saloon
leaguers headed by Doctor Chapman, were backing
him with all their might. AS for the effect of the
fight on the general politics OF the state may
quote from the San Bernardino Sun, which took
an impartial outside view of the situation:
The surprising feature of fight is that ele-
which have fought for Hiram Johnson
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-27

I16ney ran against Flckert ana the whole canvass
made subordinate to that conflict. Money was
poured out like water and all the political combna-
tons made with a single eye to their effect
on this issue.
Los Angeles has just come through a similar
conflict, in which the whole state ticket was made
subsidiary the election of district attorney and
the fortunes OF war were so doubtful that they
might easily have upset the whole political status
OF California had the vote in other parts of the
state been as close as some people expected.
Largely because Of that fight the normal republican
majority in Los Angeles was cut down to about half
A WIDE OPEN SPLIT
It was the fight between Woowine and Fred
ercks, the incumbent that split the republican party
wide open in Los Angeles county. Fredericks got
the republican nomination, but the Lincoln -Roose-
welt eaguers, the insurgents if you prefer that
term, would not have him at any price and backed
Woolwine, the democratic nominee. The Los Ange-
les Express owned by Z. T. Earl a leader of the
Lnoon-Roosevelt league; bolted the ticket on this
nomination and the "old crowd was quite glad
of this bolt, whi. it described as treachery and
used as an excuse to knife Hiram Johnson
