publican votes Transue 400 Republican
votes and Lyon 450 Republican and
100 Democratic votes, making for the
latter a total of $50 votes. and May
ham only gets rs votes. Lyon would
virtually be the Democratic Republi-
can nominee and could easily hope to
defeat his opponent at the general cleo
tion by a similar combination. 1t
would at least put him before the vot-
ers as a Republican, Democratic NOM
inee.
So serious is the crisis threatened by
this stay-at-home vote that every eff
fort will be made to arouse the Demo-
Gratis as to the extreme Importance of
casting their ballots next Tuesday, and
steps will at once be taken to educate
the voters concerning the peril in
volved in their failure to do their duty.
Aside from the Importance of the
two contests, in which the Southern
Pacific men have gone on the Demo-
cratic ticket against the good govern
ment candidates. the primary election
will also be vitally important in that
it will involve a desperate attempt on
the part of the machine to get control
of the next Democratic county and
state convention and thus through
these to get control also of the next
Democratic county central committee
and undo the progressive work that
has UttA uOtle ny LllS new anu TGNildI-
ized Democracy wrested from the old
machine. 1t will involve also the
brazen and determined efforts of the
push" to defeat certain of the Demo-
cratic candidates and to nominate Re-
publicans, as just shown.
1t was learned last night that the
men back of this organized effort to
have the names of certain Republicans
written in on the Democratic ticket
are former Mayor A. G. Harper Wal
ter Parker, II. M. ("Muggins') Nc
Donald, Frank Goings, Tom McCaffery
"Jim" Craig, Tom Savage and Martin
Marsh. The history of these men and
their affiliations with the machine are
so notorious that it Is not necessary
to review them nor to state their OBJ
jects in the present nefarious work of
the old push"
ISSUES WARNING NOTE
Police Commissioner Charles Well
born, who investigated the conspiracy
yesterday, issued the following state
ment:
TO the Democratic Voters of Los
Angeles County:
A conspiracy to defeat the So
called unopposed candidates run
ming for nomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the primaries has
been effected between j. D. Fred

possible effort is being made to
carry it into effect. They hope to
steal the Democratic nomination
over the stay-at-home vote by in
ducing enough Democrats to write
in the names or Republican candi-
dates on the Democratic ballot to
defeat the Democratic candidates.
In other words, If Fredricks and
his cohorts, by working under COW

Gratis of the old A. c. Harper Wal

Unless the Democrats throughout
the county realize this danger,
which is vital and impending. this
peril to the entire Democratic good
government ticket may become a
reality. Thousands of Democrats
are taking the position that 1t is
unnecessary to go to the polls and
vote at the primaries, for the rea-
son that many believe the Demo-
Gratis on the ticket have no oppo-
sition. AS an advocate of good
government. 1 wish to urge every
Democrat who believes in good
government to go to the polls and
vote in the primaries without fail,
as there is and will be determined
opposition along the lines indicated.

DENIES BRITISHERS HAD
RAILWAY MERGER PLAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Percival Far
quhar, who has been prominently con-
nected with the so-oalled Pearson syn
dicate, whose stock holdings in sew
eral railroads were taken over by a
New York banking institution recently
to prevent further collapse on the
stock exchange, denied today that any
syndicate had existed Mr. Farquhar,
who was an arrival from England on
the Lusitania, said:
1.-THE members of the so-called syn
dicate were simply individuals who
had stocks in their own hands and in
various railroad properties. 1t may
be a coincidence that these properties
formed a more or less direct line of
connection between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, but that there was any
concerted action to obtain control of
a transcontinental chain of railroads
by body of Englishmen is absurd"

ARRAIGNED ON CHARGE OF
TRYING TO WRECK TRAIN

FRESNO, Aug. 12.--S. Vismara, ac-
cused of having attempted to wreck a
train near Firebaugh last Tuesday
night by laying a heavy tie across the
tracks, was formally charged with the
offense today In the jutsice court by
District Attorney Church.
The filing of the complaint followed
an examination of Vismara by the
prosecution, during which the pris-
oner was compelled to acknowledge
that preyious to the time that the tie
had been discovered and removed he
had seen it on the track, but that he
had not taken It away because he did
not consider that 1t was any of his
business to do so.

spUsHv TALKS TRADE"

Albert NJ. Norton, chairman of the
Los Angeles county Democratic CEN
trail committee, said:
I'm the last week four of Walter
Parker's machine men have approached
me with a proposition that pass the
word around among the boys to write
in the names of certain Republican
candidates against the Democrats in
dorsed at the Long Beach conference.
They had some kind of trade to
make I don't know what it was. OF
course I wouldn't listen to them. ONE

ANOTHER PROMINENT MA

WOULD HELP KNIFE ONE OF OUR
CANDIDATES SO THAT A REPUB-
LICAN COULD GET THE DEMO

"I have positive information that a
we'll organized movement is on foot
for the machine Democrats. who want
to be revenged on the present organi-
zation, which kicked them out of the
party, to write in the names of GER
tain Republican candidates, IL 1t is
seen, by / or p. m. election day that
most of the Democratic voters are
staying at home because they do not
consider the primaries important
IT regard the situation as serious,
but, of course, If the good government
Democrats are aroused to the danger,
and will do their duty, this danger will
be entirely obviated. and the ticket
indorsed by the Democratic county
conference at Long Beach will easily
be nominated, for the machine could
not muster out enough votes to make
any material difference If the other
side turns out as 1t should do"
Mr. Woolwine, when asked yesterday
MS to the reports that friends of ]. ID.
Fredericks are planning to have his
name written in on the Democratic
ticket by the machine Democrats, said:
Eyes, have heard that such con-
spiracy existed, and may have some-
thing to say later concerning the men
who are mixed up in it. All l have to
saw now Is that / have every con-
fidence in the loyalty of my friends,
and in the intelligence and patriotism
of the Democracy of Los Angeles city
and county, and / am not afraid but
that every good government Democrat
win do his duty at the primary cleo
ton. However, I think it is good
plan to let the voters know, just what
kind of deal these fellows are try
ing to frame up"
