MCCARTHY CHARGES ENEMY
It is a dull dark day when Jack Nc
Carthy associate manager of Nat Ell
lery's campaign, is unable to pour few
hot shots into the camps of the enemy.
When the names of the other candidates
for governor are mentioned Mccarthy is
there in the role of the unhappy tidings
youth. Yesterday Mccarthy went after
the field with the exception of Stanton,
who Mccarthy refuses to consider in
the light of a bona fide contender. He
leYeled several saucy slaps at Hiram w.
Johnson, chief of which was the accusa-
tion that the Lincoln Roosevelt leagues
candidate enjoyed the support of his
father. Grove L. Johnson, of Sacra
mento. Mccarthy limited at some sort
of dark plot against Ellery indicated by
the presence of Grove L. Johnson at an
Ellery meeting. Just as an evidence of
good faith Mccarthy declared that the
people behind Hiram w. Johnson We're
proof of the Ellery claim that the
Lacquer was supported by machine in
huences.

Carthy' is his father, Grove l.. John
son. who tried TO force upon the people
of this state the notorious change of
venue bill at the last session of the leg
islature, and who, as chairman of the
judiciary committee of the assembly. al

peoples interests. In the last session
he was the only member of the assem-
IL
gineering bill that was proposed in fa-

day night TO hear what Ellery had to

son in law of Grove L. Johnson and en-
ploye of the Earle fruit company, and
Grove L. Fink, connected with the re-
corder's' office at Sacramento, are be-

being behind Hiram W. Johnson shows
that he is backed by influences that al
ways are for machine politics"
CLAMORING FOR ELLERY
Nor was that nearly all. Mccarthy
had been to San Jose He took the
veil off several interesting discoveries
he claimed to have made at the home
of Johnnie Mackenzie and the brothers
Hayes. Condensed, McCarthy's avowed
discoveries amounted to something like
this: Johnson losing strength; Curry
weak except with the saloon vote. and
the labor people generally opposed tc
! Anderson because his manager, State
Labor Commissioner Johnnie Mackenzie
! had taken up the cudgels for the Japa-
nese. AS a natural result of these dis
coveries, Mccarthy concluded that the
people of San Jose were clamoring fol
