item includes the printing of the primary
ballots, which under the present law has
to be done by the party organization, or by
individuals.
Why do we need force like this all the
year instead of merely during the cam
paign period? For several seasons. The
more ignorant the people are the more they
write to the county committee 1t is a
bureau of information on political affairs.
Monthly meetings are held in halls, at
which special committees are frequently
appointed, and these committees need head
quarters for meetings and work. We had
a special committee on the subject of di-
rect nominations before it was ever agi-
tated by Governor Hughes, and prepared
a bill. Much of the structure Of the Hin
man-Green bill was based on that bill.
That committee spent two or three months
at work on that bill. In 1906 we had to pre-
pare the plan of reapportionment of Sen
ate and Assembly districts and we spent
four months at work on it, day and night.
One year we had a committee which in
vestigated fraud at the polls, and which
started the work which has eliminated
forty thousand fraudulent votes. a number
sufficient to have changed many Presiden-
tial and gubernatorial elections
During the summer months the lists of
election officers have to be prepared and
filed. There are two inspectors, poll clerk
and a ballot clerk of each of the two major
parties in every election district
In getting out the registration effectively
workers are needed, and they must be paid.
In the Presidential campaign this cost
about $1,000, and the money was well spent

Long Row Between Man Accused

Because he threatened to "smash"
Lieut. George Bright, his immediate
superior in the Los Angeles fire de-
partment, w. X. Brown, a negro, was
yesterday permitted to resign his posi-
ton, the alternative offered him being
immediate dismissal. Brown resigned,
but protested throughout that he had
not been insubordinate and that he mad
never used the language attributed to
him by the lieutenant. His own ver-
sion of the encounter, however, differed
only slightly from Bright's and the
fire commission, with the mayor. evi-
IDENTIFY believed the service would be
improved with him out of it.
Browns resignation came as the re-
suit of charges filed by Lieut.. Brisht
and which were followed by charges
against the lieutenant signed by Brown
and three other men attached to the
Iona drive fire station over which
Bright is in command. The fire COM
mission went to the station yesterday
afternoon and the entire squabble was
threshed out without developing any
thing new or anything sensational.
HAS BEEN DIsTURBER
Evidence introduced went to show
that Brown had long been a disturbing
factor; that he and Bright were quar-
reling much of the time and that dis
cipline, under Bright. has been lax.
At the close of the meeting Mayor AL
exander took occasion to caution Lieu
tenant Bright that if matters In the
Iona drive station do not improve at
once a change will be made in the
command. The station has only

commission, but the commissioners de-

peace pact, shook hands and made up,

Edwin A. Meserve will be the Re-

yesterday who, although actively iden-
titled with the regular branch of the
Republican party in California, is pro-
testing vigorously at the inner work

tatingly has informed his friends that
he will support Hiram w. Johnson for
governor.

this man yesterday. Il do not believe
Stanton has the backing of the ma

Curry, I have positive knowledge that
the machine will launch Ed Meserve
for the senatorship unless something
comes up to prevent the present pro-
gram. There is, of course, a possibil-
ity that Mr. Meserve will not agree
to make the race, but I can't imagine
such a thing"

made these statements yesterday I'm

Of the city.
The work which this group Of ear
nest, talented women accomplishes, al
ways simply for the love of their art
and without recompense of any sort, is
unusual in musical history anywhere.
The players are at expense always for
direction and for rehearsal room and
music, and this annual concert serves
as q means of raising funds to meet
these obligations.
The orchestra rehearsals are held
regularly each week, and whenever the

members of this ambitious organization,
and she played during one entire morn

For the State Senate.

Whereas, the Senatorial Committee
! of the Eleventh senatorial district,
on the 2Sth of March, in accordance
with their duty to do so, named a
day for the senatorial primary to be
held under the new law which pre-
walls as to the coming state primary
and being a law-abiding citizen of
my district and state | hereby an
nOunce myself a candidate for the
Senate under this call.
No matter how regretful myself
or others may be over doing away
with how Terrell, Randolph and Clay
have been doing in the past it is a
law passed and voted for by Shaw,
my opponent, and if it is now so bad
(before ever being tried) for him
to get to the senate on he should
blame himself and not we humble,
law-abiding citizens he forced it on,
Should l be honored by the dis
trict | hereby pledge the best l can
and the nearest I can to carry out
what the majority of the counties
and the district desire, feeling my
self only servant of the people
anxious to carry out their will and
not the determined plan of my own.
With the many assurances of support
given me and from what my friends
advise me [ will carry my home
county by a good majority regard
less of my opponents claim to the
contrary There having been no ex-
preston at the polls between us, or
between anybody, it is only prophecy
as to who will win. l have no pow
er of force over any free American,
and by their vote they can force me
in or force me out, and | will humbly
bow to their will whatever it may be.
l would much prefer defeat than
to win by arraying, in a single in
stance, neighbOr against neighbor,
friend against friend, and regretting
that there is even one in the EIev-
enth senatorial district willing to ag-
itate old political differences, stir up
strife and divide our people l ap-
peal to those in power-the voters
to assist me in this fight, so shat
peace, love and unity may prevail
among us.
My race will be made on my own
merits, not seeking to run in on the
coat-tail of any other candidate.
Vote for me for the senate, and then
for others as your conscience die
tates. 1 will carry out the wishes
of my district and party platfrom re-
CARELESS of who is elected governor.
I will also add, if it can be legally
done and friends willing, that l will
gladly refuse the senatorship if
carry the district and fail to carry
my home county, if my opponent will
do likewise and agree to name some
other instead of either of us. Assur-
ing all that the sincerest of motives
prompted me TO enter the race, I re-
main yours to serve,

S5OO,OOO OF STRAWBERRIES
Tennessee Fruit Growers Say This
Has Been Remarkably Good
Season For Them,

HUMBOLDT, Tenn.-A record
breaking strawberry crop has been
marketed in this section.
From Humboldt alone $50 car
loads of strawberries have been
shipped, from which $125,O00 has
been released. Of this amount $685.
600 has been received by the straw
berry pickers, and the growers have
received $4,000 profits above the
cost of picking and prices paid for
shipping packages. The carload
shipments began the latter part of
April, and are still going forward
The largest single days shipment
from Humboldt was II cars.
What has been true in the imme-
date Humboldt vicinity las taken
place, on smaller scale, through
out the Humboldt fruit belt, espe-
cially from the shipping stations of
Pomona, Fruitvale, Bells, Medina,
Gadsden, Dyer, Rutherford and Ken
ton and in Greenfield and adjacent
towns. 1t is estimated that the berry
crop from this section and shipped
from nearby points in Gibson and
Crockett counties will total nearly
half million dollars-the largest
amount, it is believed, ever received
in a single season in this section from
one fruit or vegetable crop. 1t
amounted to considerably more than
the last two years previous to this
combined, and almost as much as for
the last three strawberry crops.
Recent rains have been a great ad-
vantage to cabbage, and carload ship
ments will begin from Humboldt.
