REVOLT SIXTH DISTRICT

From the Monterey end of the sixth
district come rumbles of an incipient
revolt against the denomination of
Congressman Needham. An attempt to
boost Tom Field into the primary fight
has failed so far to arouse the en-
thusiasm of the big men of the ma
chine They are prepared to agree
with the Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers
about Needham. They have no quarrel
with the congressman from the sixth.
More than that, some of them would
be quite willing to assist the leaguers
and Needhams admirers generally in
boosting the congressman into the sem
ate and the seat to be vacated by

FIGHT ON HAYES DROPPED

The promise or threat of machine
fight against Congressman Z. A. Hayes
is no longer taken seriously by San
Franciscans and there are signs indica-
tive of a similar frame of mind on the
part of the Hayes family. Senator
Eddie Wolfe has had his customary
preliminary boom for the nomination
and viii probably become reconciled
soon to the idea that the organization
needs him in the senate so badly that
il can not think of sending him to
congress. Such sacrifice is ever the
price of recognized leadership, but
nevertheless it is tough on the leader
when it involves a seat in congress
from California, worth about $4,000
a year.
Several reasons are given for the
probable burying of the hstchet by the
organization. Any of them would
serve probably. but one of them is
especially interesting when applied TO

ORIGINAL CHoICE OF LEADERS

Davis was the original choice of "a
majority of the seasoned leaders of the
league. The Davis sentiment was Wig
orously alive nearly two years ago It
was Davis who presented the name of
Hiram w. Johnson and who would have
landed the Endorsement for Johnson if
the San Francisco man had not refused
fatty to accept it,
Some of the leaguers had hopes of
inducing Johnson to recant until last
week when Prof George w. Boke
broke into the game with an attempt
to force Francis J. Heney in the race.
The leaguers say that Boke went to
the length of appealing directly to
Johnson, arguing that as a matter of
loyalty to Heney, Johnson should in
sist upon Heney's Endorsement by the
league.
Heney's refusals were conclusive and
had dismissed him from their consid-
Grafton. They believed they had a
chance with Johnson, and what they
said about Boke when he butted into
their affair was unfit for publication.
They knew that Boke could not influ-
ence Heney and that his activities
would be effective only in the degree
of injury inflicted upon the leaguers
plans

POPULARITY OF INSURGENTS

Some of the organization men have
discovered that there is a strong in
surgent sentiment in California. Is
not Hayes the leader of the insurgents
in the lower house? Why. of course
he is. Would the machine fly in the
face Of public sentiment? Has the ma
chine ever done anything like that?
Perish the thought.
OF course there may be some unrea-
sonable and unrea soning persons COM
mitted to the idea that the guberna-
torial fight has something TO do with
the machines changed attitude toward
Hayes. There may be those, too, who
are mean enough to believe that the
editorial war talk of the Hayes broth
ers in their San Jose Mercury has had
its effect But they are all wrong. In
surgency is popular with the people
of the fifth district. That's the an
swer.

PLAN WORLD MEETING
Sunday School Convention in

Other Countries to Be Leaders q

The Worlds Sunday School Asso-
citation is to meet in triennial conven-
tion in Washington, d. c., May 1924,
and preparations already are so far
advanced that most of the speakers
and many of the delegates are already
known. The plans, correspondent of
the Chicago Daily News says, include
so many unusual and spectacular fea-
lures that there seems to be Warrant
for the confident expectation of the
enthusiastic leaders that this will be
the most impressive demonstration of
organized Christianity the country has
ever seen.
Probably the best organized of all
the departments of Protestant Chris
tendon, the Sunday school, is able to
deal in reasonably exact figures. Every
State in the Union has force of
workers engaged exclusively in pro-
noting the Sunday school organiza-
ton. In most States every county has
its separate Sunday school organiza-
ton. The workers report more than
100000 members of the Sunday
school in North America alone Twelve
million more are found scattered over
the rest of the globe These 10000.
900 persons meet every week in more
than a quarter of a million different
Sunday schools.
1t is far cry from the obscure and
sneered-at ragged school" of Robert

tion, with President, Governors,
Senators, Congressman, Supreme Court
Justices and worldwide business men
in attendance, not to mention the hun
dreds of representative Christian lead
ers from all climes.
