The republican county committee
silenced yesterday the unwarranted at
tack upon its loyalty to every repub-
Iican nominated by the people by the
issuance of iron clad instructions to
the members of the committee, precinct
captains and precinct workers. Here is
the text of the letter sent out by Chair
man Sanborn and Secretary Bancroft:
To the members of the republican
county committee, republican pre-
cinct captains and workers: Gentle
men; We appeal to you as loyal
party leaders to see to it that on
election day you devote your very
best energies to securing the largest
vote possible for the entire repub-
Hcan ticket.

that the party candidate openly

ticket at the primary election. An

not vote an Independent ticket on

publicans their moral obligation to
vote the party ticket straight.
You will also appeal to the public

who have automobiles to place
them at the disposal of the county
committee. Also appeal to your
neighborhoods for further volun-
teers, in addition to the regular
workers, to assist in getting out

HIGH REPUTATION
Ability Qualities Him for Presid-
ing Justice of First District
Appellate Court
Democrats and Republicans Ap-
preciate Record of the
Marin Jurist

Judge Thomas J. Lennon, republican
candidate for presiding justice of the
first district court of appeal. is one of
the most distinguished members of the
California bench. Nothing could speak
more forcibly of the regard in which
he Is held by the members of his pro-
fession than the fact that he was given
the republican nomination for one of
the most important judicial positions in
the gift of the people, absolutely with
out opposition in his own party.
Judge Lennon is comparatively
young but his distinguished abilities
and accomplishments as practitioner,
prosecutor and jurist have made him
a state figure His known probity and
unusual abilities won for him the alb
solutely unanimous Endorsement of the
state executive committee of the Lin
coin Roosevelt league of republican
clubs, and that despite the fact that
Judge Lennon had never been identi-
fed in any manner with the Lincoln
Roosevelt movement
APPRECIATED BY DEMOCRATS
Democratic appreciation of Judge
Lemons hold upon the people of the
first district resulted in an outside at
tempt TO head off the Lincoln -Roose-
welt Endorsement mat attack Oh beI-
non resulted in a meeting that trans
acted no business other than the formal
Endorsement of the Marin county jurist.
Judge Lennon has been on the su-
perior bench of Marin county for eight
years. BY his service on that bench he
has come to be recognized as one of
the ablest, cleanest, hardest working
and most learned of California's su-
perior judges.
Before his election to the superior
bench in Marin county, Judge Lennon
had made a state wide reputation as
a criminal lawyer, both as counsellor
and as prosecutor. He was elected to
the bencn eight years ago after one of
the most spectacular campaigns In the
political history of Marin county. Two
years ago he was the unanimous choice
of democrats and republicans alike.
FITTED FOR THE PLACE
Judge Lemons unusual accomplish
ments as a criminal lawyer, coupled
with a ripening experience as a jurist,
have made him an especially fit as
pirant to the post of presiding justice
of the first district court of appeal,
which has appeal jurisdiction in all
criminal cases.
The jurisdiction of the first district
court of appeal embraces 10 counties,
including San Francisco and Alameda.
1t is the states largest appellate dis
trict and the duties of the presiding
Justice are especially exacting AMI ar
duous, demanding the services of
vigorous as we'll as a carefully trained
man. The counties embraced in the
first appellate district are San Fran
cisco Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin,

Mateo. San Benito and Monterey.

Hiram ". Johnson has made no two
answers TO any question. He has told
the farmers and the woodsmen what
they might expect from him. He has
told exactly the same thing to the bust
nessmen, the bankers and the profess
sional men.
II was my privilege to talk with
Johnson about his primary campaign
last spring weeks before that campaign
was opened. When that campaign was
opened it was opened as Johnson had
said it would be, and for eight months
he has not deviated a hairs breadth
from the course he then took up. He
has carried truth and conviction to the
people He has carried to them the
issue that has been dominant for years.
AS the result of one of the most re-
markable personal campaigns ever
made he has Impressed his personality,
his sincerity his ability and his deter
nlination to redeem his promises upon
the whole people of California. And
that is why Johnson will be elected.
