Colonel Announces Candidacy to
Succeed Himself on State
Railroad Commission
Alden Anderson Plans His Fight
and Johnson Will Tour the
State in Autos

Colonel Harvey d. Loyeland an
nouneed yesterday that he would be
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion TO succeed himself as member of
the railroad commission.
Loveland was appointed to the rail-
road commission in 1907, vice Andy
wilson, the Doodle supervisor, who was
forced to resign. He injected new life
into the moribund commission, and sue
ceeded, in measure in making it re-
spectacle. When the commission was
investigated by the legislature in 1909
Loveiand came out with flying colors.
The legislature especially commended
him and the democratic proponents of
the inquisition were forced to give him
clean bill of health.
Il am going to be a candidate on my
record said Loveland yesterday, land
nothing will give me greater pleasure
than TO nave that record the test of my
ntness To those who. may wish to in
vesugate my record, I will lend every
assistance and extend every facility.
When the senate hailed the commission
before 1t last year I rested on my rec
ord and vote of confidence was the
result
TALKS ABOUT HARD WORK
Since l have been on the commits
sion 1t has been an active, hard work
ing, aggressive board. Several impor-
tant cases have been tried and adjudi-
Gated and we now have a great num-
per OF important cases on the docket.
L am not the candidate of any or
ganization l am going before the peo-
pie at the primary election squarely on
my record, and 1t will not be difficult
for any to satisfy himself as to that
record II he cares to investigate"
Loveland has been associated with
the wholesale interests of San Fran
cisco for 23 years, and during that time
actively interested in the protection of
those interests in traffic matters. He
was presiding over the transMissis
sippi commercial congress at Muskogee,
Okla, when he was notified that Cover
nor Gillett had named him to succeed
Wilson. He was president of the Pa
cif1c Coast jobbers' and manufacturers
association for six years. In the work
of that organization he was associated
with William r. Wheeler, Seth Mann
ana others as representative of the
coast shipping interests before the in
terstate commerce commission
ANDERSON PLANS CAMPAIGN
Alden Anderson is Fastening the pre-
1iminary arrangements for the opening
of systematic campaign. He has
chosen c. A. Farnsworth, well known
local newspaperman, for publicity di-
rector and will open permanent head
quarters at Kearny and Post streets
Monday. The businessmen's club which
is promoted by c. c. Moore, it is an
nounced, will be launched next week. 1t
is understood that Moore has consented
to accept the executive post and direct
the clubs work for Anderson.
Anderson announced yesterday that
former Senator G. Russ Lukens of Ala
media county would be one of the asso-
ciate managers of his campaign in the
state. Lukens was once upon a time a
wheelhorse in the Pardee organization
across the bay. and it was Lukens and
his friends who made Anderson a can
didate for the presidency of the state
league of republican clubs in 1900
Anderson likes the stories about his
withdrawal at the psychological mo-
ment no more than Curry, who is the
hero of those tales on the days that are
not working for Anderson. The super
intendent of banks entered a direct ref
utation of these stories yesterday.
