man for office who wears the corporation
brand? You can answer this by ascer-
tanning who is supporting him.
Dahiman is known as poor man yet
he Is spending money with a lavish hand,
ordinarily the democratic committee has q
hard time raising funds with which TO
carry on campaign, but this year they
have plenty OF funds and they are not
asking a personal appeal to the rank and
file Of the party for help. Who is paying
the freight? The 0reweries and allied cor

Why are the corporations backing
Dahlman? Because Mr.. Aldrich has a
record of sincerity As a public servant he
has always been found on the side of
the people The railroads and other cor

ing the lads upon the rocky bottom of
a five foot ditch. A fourth boy escaped

covery is doubtful. The injured are:

Gerber drove the car and Duncan sat
beside him. Strong and Ffnking rode
in the tonneau. All went we'll until
they approached a down grade and
curve near the golf club A spoke had
been broken in the rear wheel and, ac-
cording TO Strong, this defect caused
the accident
We approached the curve slowly"
he said, Gerber steering cautiously
Suddenly there was a creaking sound,
and before we could think OF jumping
the car lurched to one side and turned
over. I think it turned several times.
We were hurled into ditch over

mans head. covered the spot where
we landed. I landed hard but re-

RUSH TO THE LOST
HILL CONTINUES
Oil Territory in Kern County
Reaches for Distance
of 100 Miles
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 27.-The Lake
view gusher has steadied down to a
1880 barrel daily average. and for two
weeks the gauge has shown no varia-
tion from this figure.
w. ". Orcutt, geologist for the Union
oil company, left here today for the
Lost Hills. He will make study of
the new territory for the information
OF the interests he represents.
The rush to the Lost Hills continues
unabated, and locators are increasing
their efforts to get operations under
way. with teh result that contests are
arising over several properties. The
town OF Lost Hills is getting fairly un-
der way. its first hotel having been
completed. Property values have ad-
vanced remarka bly, in the town OIL
Wasco. and there is a sharp demand
for business locations. Drilling opera
tions continue, but no new strikes are
reported. There is considerable diff
Guilty in getting water and the few
sources OF supply are taxed to their
limit capacity. The Associated oil COM
pany is building a water line into the
field. which will remedy this handicap
to operations. This company is ex-
pected to greatly increase it's opera
tions upon the completion OF it's water
system.
The Sunset Security oil company has
succeeded in getting it's lost tools out
of it's we'll on section es. 1928. which
is down more than 1900 feet The tools
were dropped by the breaking of a
cable. 400 feet of which went down
with the drill.
Local oil men who have visited the
west side from Templor north, say
there are several prospect holes going
down along the edge of the hills I'm the
effort to trace the oil sands from the
older west side fields through to the
Devils Den. The deepest of the holes
is about 200 feet. and It is too soon TO
Judge of the chances for success. With
the new work at the southeastern end
of the Sunset field reaching to TETON
canyon. the proven and prospected oil
territory in Kern county reaches in an
almost unbroken line for distance of
100 miles.

TACOMA'S CENSUS
RECOUNT GRANTED
Director Durand Stipulates That
Private Organizations Must
Not Interfere

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-Reiterating
and emphasizing his previous allega-
tions of fraud in connection with the
census of Tacoma, Wash, Director Du-
rand of the census bureau today for
warded to the Tacoma committee a
letter conceding the request for a re-
enumeration of the population of that
city.
The director made the condition that
no private individual or private organ
ization should in any way undertake to
interfere with or to assist in the work
of enumeration. except in such
manner as might be approved by him
self. He said.
1t is my intention. after the
enumerators have completed their
work as fully as possible. to give
the local commercial organization
\ an opportunity to ascertain
whether names should be added.
ton whatever of private individ-
uals or organizations will be per-
mitted.
He closed this warning with the de-
claration that If any such interference
should be attempted enumeration
would cease at once. In the body OF
his letter Durand said:
The recount is not conceded be-
cause of any doubt whatever as
to the existence and great extent
of the frauds in the original emu
meration. The evidence of such
frauds is overwhelming.
1t is fact, however. that by
reason of the method of frauds
pursued, the methods of elinninat-
Ing the fraudulent names, which
had to be utilized. may have re-
suited in the elimination of some
names of bonaf1de residents. The
people of Tacoma. in the absence
of a remuneration, always will
believe that the number of bona
fide names thus eliminated was
large, and a recount will furnish
the only means by which this dues-
tion can be properly settled.
Giving the reasons for his charges,
Durand repeated his original allega-
tions that large number of the emu
merators admitted the addition OF
thousands of names; that Special Agent
Mckenzie reported the inclusion of
many fictitious names. and that the
schedules bore evidence of the fraud.

FREEHOLDER EXPLAINS
NATURE OF CHARTER
"Gives Voters Voice i'm Business
of CITY"

OAKLAND, Oct 27.-The spirit of the
new charter which will be submitted to
the voters next month, explained today
by Harrison S. Robinson, one OF the
free holders who framed the instru-
ment, before the Tri-City rotary club.
He said:
I'm voting upon the new charter the
citizens of Oakland must recognize that
good government is not to be obtained
merely by installing well designed
set of machinery for carrying on the
city's business. The excellence of the
government will depend 10 a large ex-
tent on the kind of men who operate
the machinery.
The charter makes very complete
provision for giving the voters a voice
in the city's business. The right sort
OF city officials will be more than
pleased to fae the citizens take an
active interest in that business"
r. H. Chamberlain, charter free
holder, also spoke.
