SHIPPERS FAVOR
H. D. LOVELAND
Railroad Commissioner Has
Worked Hard in Interests
of the People

The nomination of Railroad Commits
sioner Harvey D. Loveland by the re-
publicans of the first district is re-
garded by the shipping interests as a
distinct triumph for the cause of good
government and against the aggression
of carrier corporations.
Commissioner Loveland was appoint
ed to the railroad commission vice
Andy" Wilson. the Doodle board super
visor, whose resignation was demanded
by Governor Gillett For 20 years
Loveland had been ma king the people s
fight against the railroad combine His
work on behalf of the people and the
shipping interests of California had
made him national figure. He brought
to the railroad commission an unusual
fund of expert knowledge and extra
ordinary experience.
The appointment of Loveland marked
a new era in the history of the Cali
fornia railroad commission. For years
that commission had been something
much worse than a useless limb of the
state government In theory it had
served the people: in practice it had
been the plaything of the railroad in
terests that had selected its members.
When 1t was not knitting the people it
was idle. Loveland took hold of a job
so bad that his warmest admirers had
little hope for his achievement of any
great success In year he had made
the commission active and had forced it
to be respectable.
A special legislative investigation of
the commission resulted in a report that
warmly commended Loveland's work
but bore no wreaths for his associates
Both Loveland's colleagues We're de-
feated for denomination at the first
direct primary election. The nomina- /
tion of Eshleman in the third district
and of Gordan in the first promises the
election of two men whose integrity,
coupled with Loveland's honesty and
experience. will make the railroad COM :
mission truly representative OF the
peoples interests. The regard in which
Commissioner Loveland is held by the
shippers of California is evidenced by
the following letter from William r.

men LIKE KENT"
Clifford Pinchot Sends Open Let
ter to the Voters of
California

Clifford Pinchot, former United States
ger. has not given up his fight for the
election of William Kent to congress
from the second California district.
Pinchot came to California to stump
the district for Kent in the primary
fight against Congressman Mckinlay.
The righthand man of former President
Roosevelt can not come back to Cali
fornia to speak for the man he and
Roosevelt helped TO nominate. but he
has sent the following open letter to
the people of Kents district:
William Kent should be elected
to congress because he will stand
for the welfare of. all his conStitu-
ents rather than for partisan po-
litical advantage; because he has
given more time and thought to the
things which really concern public
welfare than almost any other man
/ know: because. he is progressive
and will stand and work with the
progressiNes, who will be in control
OF the next congress; because he
will truly represent his constitu
cnts and will work wholeheartedly
for them and for the nation; be-
cause the nation needs such men in
congress and needs them very
badly; because the cause of con-
servation will be strengthened i'm
measurably by his election; be-
cause he is an honest, intelligent
and absolutely fearless man who
would do. what he believes to be
right at any cost People need
