ARE TIRED Or INTERNAL WAR
MINERS REFUSE TO PAY BAKER
FOR EXPENSE INCURRED.
House Rent Question VIII go to Scale
Committee as Suggested by
President White.

Des Moines, April Especial A
political discussion between President
John P. White, of the district miners
union, and Jacob Ritter, who was de-
feated in his candidacy for the dis.
triet presidency at the recent cleo.
ton, occupied the greater part Of yes
terday's session of the miners an
nual convention. Ritter raised the
discussion by criticising President
White for statements he made in his
annual report, submitted to the con.
yention last Friday.
graphs in Whites report in which the
president scathingly denounced the
injection of religious and nationality
questions into the politics of the TN
ion. Ritter presumed that White had
inferred that he had resorted to such
tactics In his race for the presiden-
cy of the district because of the fact
that he was Whites only opponent
for the position. White was asked
pointblank If he referred to Ritter in
his remarks. ~. y .. srot
President White denied having
made any of his statements personal
and dwelt at length, In general terms,
upon the recent debasement of poll
tics in the district union. He men,
toned no names and referred to no
particular body of men. .... 81.
The session marked the certain
victory of White and his faction
over Harry Baker, of Centerville, for
merly secretary of the district union,
and his faction, and put quietus
upon the fractional fight which has
been waged between the supporters
of White and Baker since the latter
was deposed from his Office at a
special convention held last October.
That the minersr are tired of the
internal war was evidenced when
they refused to allow the payment of
bill of a little over $40 incurred by
Baker in his preparation fir an APP
peal to the national authorities for re-
instatement as secretary of the local
district This, in the opinion OF Presi'
dent White and other prominent mem.
bers of the union, precludes the posi-
bility of Bakers regaining his posi-
ton as secretary and marks the end
of the factional fight among the min
ers. ...r .
The miners voted to submit the
house rent question to the scale com.
mittee as suggested by President
White.

TWO GRAFTERS CONFESS GUILT
GROWING SENSATION IN PITTS
BURG RRiBiNe SCANDAL.
Banker and Councilman Appear Be-
fore Court, Acknowledge They
Gave and Received Brides.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 6.-The crown
ing sensation In graft revelations up
to date came in court when Charles
W. Friend, president of the Clinton
Iron & Steel company of Pittsburg
and a banker OF prominence, appeared
before the bar of justice and con
fessed that he, as one of the men
high up had bribed Pittsburg council
men.
President Friend, who is the oldest
son of the late James w. Friend mil.
lionaire steel car manufacturer, Is
director in the Pressed Steel Car
company, also of the Workingmen's
Savings & Trust company.
Mr.. Friend came to the courtroom
looking pale as a ghost and when he
faced Judge Fraser, his voice broke
and he reeled as II he were falling.
Water was given him, and after he
had recovered he said in low voice
that about two years since he had
given Councilman Charles Stewart
| $500 in his Office.
The appearance of Friend followed
closely on the confession OF Council
man Morris Einstein, who confessed
that he had received $4,000 from the
Workingmen's Saving & Trust com
pany for pushing the bank ordinance
through. He was to have distributed
1t among other councilmen, but he
admitted that he had distributed only
$1,000 and kept the other $4,000 him
self.

confession he had to be supported b!

OPPONENTS MAKE WEAK
FIGHT AGAINST LELANDE

In their efforts to defeat Harry J..
Lelande for nomination as county clerk
the campaign managers for Charles G.
Keyes have been circulating the state
ment that if Lelande is nominated a
special election, costing the taxpayers
in the neighborhood of $4,000, will
be necessary.
The statement is without foundation.
The city charter of Los Angeles pro-
vides that in the event of the resigna-
ton of the city clerk his successor
shall be appointed by the council, just
as the successor of City Attorney Les
lie r. Hewitt has been chosen by the
council.
The opponents of Keyes are suggest
ing that he has made enough money
out of public Office for himself and his
immediate family. AS county clerk he
draws a salary of $500 month. One
of his sons is a deputy district attor-
ney under Fredericks at a salary of
5000 a month, and a daughter is en-
ployed in the county clerks office at
salary of $100 a month.
There is not the slightest doubt that
Harry Lelande will make the most eff
ficient county clerk Los Angeles county
has ever had if nominated and elected.
His experience as city clerk has emf
nently qualified him for the duties of
the county office, and nobody will ever
charge that he will do politics for the
machine.

CITY CLUB TO VISIT BEACH
CALLS ATTENTION TO
ElECTING DELEGATES

Marshall Stimson, chairman of the
Lincoln Roosevelt Republican league,
yesterday issued this statement:
1.-THE attention of the Republican vot-
ers of Los Angeles county is hereby
called to the necessity of electing dele
gates TO the party convention. which
will be held after the nominations are
made, who will see to 1t that a plat
form is prepared in accordance with
the wishes Of the majority of electors
of this county. We must not only elect
progressive Republicans of the Lin
coin Roosevelt league to the various
offices, but we must elect delegates
to the conventions who will frame
platforms that are progressive and will
outline the party's policy upon the
important issues now before the pub
lie.
THE Lincoln Roosevelt Republican
league has sent with its literature a
list of delegates for this convention to
the voters of every precinct in Los
Angeles county. These lists are on
pastors, so that they can be stuck on
the ballot at the proper place. These
clubs and the voters of the various
precincts and sent to headquarters
with the approval of the precinct
workers, so that Lincoln Roosevelt
league supporters may be sure that
these delegates will stand for the prin-
ciples of the league"

WOOLW|NE PREPARES
To BEGIN CAMPAIGN
Winding Up Law Practice to BE
Ready to Take the Field
After Primaries

Thomas Lee Woolwine, known
among Democrats as "the father of the
Good Government movement" as ap-
piled to local politics, announced
Yesterday that he is winding up his
law business and clearing up his desk
preparatory for the strenuous cam
paign which he will begin Immediately
after the primary election.
Mr.. Woolwine is the Democratic can
didate for the nomination as district
attorney of Los Angeles county and
having no opposition on the Demo-
cratic ticket, will, of course, be NOM
mated, hence he has not had to take
any active part, so far as his own
candidacy is concerned, in the pollti-
cal struggle that has been going on
for the last two or three months in
volving the candidacy of Lincoln
Roosevelt league and machine" Re
publicans and Good Government and
"push" Democrats.
After the primaries, however, Mr.
Woolwine will probably step into the
limelight against the Republican nom-
inee, and politicians confidently pre-
dict there will be something doing
when he gets started.
The Republican candidates for the
nomination to the office of district
attorney are the incumbent, ]. D,
Fredericks, a Republican machine
leader, and Frank S. Hutton, indorsed
by the Lincoln Roosevelt league. Mr..
Hutton is a practicing attorney here
and popular young man, whose
friends say he will undoubtedly re-
ceive the Republican nomination.

CAMPAIGN WORK KEEPS
CAMPAIGN OFFICE BUSY

Great activity characteriezs the head
quarters Of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Re-
publican league in the Rindge build
ing. There twelve rooms are in re-
uuisition to fill the demand for space
incident to getting out the large sup
plies of campaign literature, keeping
candidates informed Of their schedules
for speeches, arranging for meetings
and comforting with candidates. 1t Is
a scene of ant-hill commotion, COM
bined with a beehive hum which is to
be witnessed by any one wandering in.
Several rooms are filled with girls, who
fill envelopes and check off statistics.
In the main offices the managers and
candidates consult, while a beVy of
stenographers keep busy. Cards and
posters are piled up in stacks on tables,
and ultimately find their way into cir
culation with the help of the callers
continuously coming in. In another
room precinct books are made up for
the use of polling officials. From still
another cards with stickers attached
are sent out to the individual voters
by way of instruction.
Most elaborate of all publicity ar
rangements is the set of pamphlets be-
ing directed to each precinct by the
hundred. They contain Johnsons
speech, a description of what and
whom the Lincoln Roosevelt league
stands for, and likewise will not stand
for, namely a continuation of machine
rule and also a neat little article got
ten out by Kemper Campbell, secre-
tary of the league, on "How to Do Eff
fective Political Work for Good Gov
ernment."
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-12

Chairman Albert M. Norton of the
| Los Angeles county Democratic central
! committee announced yesterday that
the entire ticket for the primary cleo
| tion, August 16, has now been filed, W.
| H, Workman, known to everyone in
Los Angeles as Uncle Billy Workman,
| having entered the race yesterday for
nomination to the state board of
equalization.
The announcement that Uncle Billy
| is to be the Democratic candidate for
| this important Office will come as a
glad surprise to his thousands of
friends in Los Angeles and Southern
| California, where Mr.. Workman has
resided for many years. He is one of
the oldest and best known pioneers of
| the state, and has been active for sew
eral decades in the upbui1ding and de-
| Velopment of the municipal and indus
trial affairs of Los Angeles.
| Mr.. Workman was formerly mayor OF
Los Angeles, and served two terms as
city treasurer, both of which offices he
| filled to utmost satisfaction. He was at
| one time known as "the father OF
| Boyle Heights which important sec
ton of the city he once owned.
| There will be no opposition to Mr..
| Workman for. the Democratic nomina-
ton, but opposing him for the election
| will be Jeff McElvaine, candidate of the
| Lincoln-Roosevelt league, or B. B.
Gregory, the regular Republican candi-
date of the push.
FELIX VIOLE ENTERS FIGHT
Mr. Norton also announced yesterday
that Felix Viole, "a we'll known Demo-
| crat, and the man who makes all of
the citys maps, will be the Democratic
candidate for the nomination for county
| surveyor.
NJ. r. Pendleton. principal of the
| school at Avenue 81, and instructor OF
the Y. M. c. A. summer school, has
agreed to make the race as a candidate
| for county superintendent of schools
Mr.. Pendleton was for five years prin-
| cipal of the Downey schools, and has
| lived in Los Angeles and Downey all
his life. Like Mr.. Viole, he is well
known as a worker in the cause OF bet
ter government, and has been actively
interested in the ''purifcation" work
that has gone on in the Democratic
party during the last two years. .
The Democratic candidate for railway
commissioner will be w. C. Wall, prob
ably one of the best known Democrats
in the county.
]. B. Holly has agreed to accept the
nomination as a candidate for justice
of the peace, and as his nominating pc
titions have not been filed the Demo-
Gratis of Los Angeles county are urged
to write in Mr.. Holly's name also.
The names of these candidates will
all have to be written in on the Demo-
cratic ballot at the primary election,
August 16, for the reason that they
have not fled their nominating petit
tions, having only entered the race
after the time limit for the filing of
petitions had expired. Voters are urged
to be sure and remember their Names
and to write them In at the primaries,
so they will receive the Democratic
nomination and thus insure the party q
full ticket.
