CTS. Usually the Japanese will hire none save their own countrymen, and the fact that this season large num- bers of Mexicans are at work on the lands leased by the men from across the sea has been the cause of much speculation. One reason given is that the members of the local Japanese colony have come to a realization of the fact that it's enlargement might lead to movement against them, and they wish to take advantage of the opportunities offered them, and not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

that there was more than reason able chance of my election, in the form of proper legal documents, duly executed, by over 5000 qualified vo- ters, from 12 different counties in Southern California, urging my can didacy.
 Again declined on purely personal grounds. but the movement continued. Letters and telegrams from different parts of the state came pouring in, importuning me to reconsider. The circulation of petitions was renewed with greater activity than ever, and there was talk of testing the right of voters to express their choice at the primaries without requiring the can didate to make affidavit
 "Of course, could not stand for that. The matter has now assumed such shape that I am forced to dis regard my personal preferences, and look upon it solely from the stand point of public duty. No man has a right to shirk such duty, even though for personal reasons he might feel inclined to do so.
 Acquiesces to PubFc's Gall
 With the understanding that my candidacy will stand or fall on the platform already published over my signature, and that you and your con- mittee of business men will direct and look after the details of the cam paign, I am forced to acquiesce in your repeated requests-solely on the ground of public duty.
 Therefore, this is to advise you that I do now formally accept your invitation to become a candidate for the office of United States senator from California,and you are hereby authorized to publicly announce my candidacy and place my name before the people, to be voted for at the August primaries.
 Whatever I may have to say on  public questions will be expressed over my signature, and I must not be held responsible for unauthorized statements or alleged interviews.
 'I must also insist-since I am now a candidate for public office-that this senatorial campaign, SO far as I am concerned, shall be conducted in clean cut, dignified manner, free from personal abuse of opposing can- didates, or any others
 Campaign Must Be Clean
 "The persistency and energy dis played by your committee in urging my candidacy is highly appreciated, but the correctness of your judgment will be determined by the people of California at the August primaries.
 ''I am sportsman, and have always stood for clean sports.
 "If I should be elected to the United States senate I would stand for clean politics.

GOOD WORDS FOR SLOAN.
District Attorney. EshIeman Endorses Candidacy of San Diego Man
 For State Senator.

To My Friends of Imperial County:
 I desire to say a word with refer ence to the Senatorial fight in this district, and to lend my most hearty indorsement of the candidacy of Judge w. A. Sloane In doing this I do not desire to reflect upon the character or integrity of any other candidate, but my full and free indorsement is given to Judge Sloane for the fol- lowing reasons:
 It is a matter well known that have for several years past been affi- Hated with the anti-machine Repub- licans of this state. My service in the Legislature, and in other public ca pacities, has taught me the great menace that the Southern Pacific po- Iitical bureau is to the government of this state and to the Republican party itself. I am fully convinced that it will be a great step in advance for the Republican party of this state, which is the dominant party. to free itself from the control of. such ma chine bosses as Walter Parker and Charley Hardy.
 In his long career as an active at torney and public man in San Diego County, Judge Sloane has always al- lied himself with the cause of those who were fighting for independence from machine control. In every fight that has been made in San Diego for the cause of decency he has been the leader He stands squarely on the same platform on which I stand in making my fight for Railroad Com missioner, namely justice to the cor porations, but unrelenting warfare upon their interference in our politics.
 The fight that is now being made in the State at large against the ma chine domination in the Republican party will be transferred to the Cal ifornia Legislature at its next session. Already eleven of the twenty hold over Senators have openly espOused the cause of those who are pledged to take the control of the Senate out of the hands of such sordid machine manipulators as Frank Leavitt of race track fame and Eddie Wolfe of San Francisco.
 Judge Sloane will make an able addition to the ranks of those who will strive to cleanse the Senate. His in- tegrity is unquestioned even by his enemies. His ability is recognized by all with whom he has had dealings; and urge upon all progressive Re- publicans who believe in freeing our party from the dominance of the ma chine bosses, to support Judge Sloane for the State Senate from this district
 Very truly yours.
 JOHN M. EsHLEMAN.

they tell Us it is not 90 bad - they
thought it was; that fields which last
week seemed entirely dead arc this week
showing life. and would probably come
out all right. No doubt many fields are
injured in spots, but not SO seriously as
reported. Early reports every spring
