BRADY NOMINATED
BY LARGE MAJORITY

publican John Fagerstedt had no op

The nomination for Commissioner
in the second district is no man i
race on the republican ticket. S. B

choice but Pickrell and Smith com

will probably result in PiclSrell being

THE PROPER PLACE.
OPENING OF CANAL
PACIFIC OCEAN EVENT.

1t is fitting that the Western States
should support SanFranosco's claims
as the proper site for holding cele-
bration in honor of the opening OF the
Panama Canal. SanFrancisco is the
great seaport of pacifiC-America, the
avenue of comm ece over the vast Pa
ciflc Ocean, and the recognized term
inal of the Panama Isthmian route
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Put
ting aside the relative value of the
Panama Canal TO any one port of the
world, as ii is sure to prove OF nearly
equal value to an, the real considera
ton Lies III the fact that nearly one
half OF the human race live In countries
bordering on the Pacific Ocean, and
the opening Of this new door to the
Pacific and front door to the world, Is
distinctly Pacific Ocean event Said
William II, Seward in 1852, before
there was a railway or telegraph on
any Pacific Seaboard or a line Of
steamships or any regular commerce
with the Orient-while Alaska was
yet an unknown frozen land, and Jap
an and China, save for a few ports
thrown open to commerce, sealed to
entrance and wrapped in barbaric
conceit, and Australia was still the
land of the black bushman: Hence.
forth European commerce, European
politics, European thought and Euro
pean activity, although actually gain
ing force and European connections
although actually becoming more init.
mate, will neyerth eless relatively sink
in mportance~While the Pacific O.
cean-its shores, its islands, and the
vast region beyond-will become the
chief theater of events In the worlds
great hereafter.
The new resourceful virile West,
facing the Pacific Ocean, Is the most
vital portion of the world today, at
tracing by its resources and wonder
ful opportunities the energies that
stand TOR progress. p.

logue OF our new Shool OF Practical
Agriculture" said Dean w. l.. Carlyle
of the Agricuh department OF
Idaho University today.
The same problem is everywhere
continued Prof. Carlyle, chow to keep
the boys interested in and make
them contented and prosperous ON
the farm. We are trying to solve
that problem. 1t will be the aim and
purpose of our Practical School to SHOW
the boys the attractive side OF farm
life, to point out the little crooks and
turns by which time, labor and money
may be saved, and to teach them bet
ter and more practical farming.
EARLY in the course the boys will
work at the forge, learn to weld. ten-
per, etc.-things that may save many
a dollar on the farm. In the Farm
Arithmetic they will compute rations
for animals, measure hay i'm stack
and barn and work out many other
farm problems. In Stock Judging the
class will work with the animals as
sembled in the Judging ring. Other
work in live stock will consist of a
course in Feeds and Feeding, a study
of breeds of animals adapted to the
Northwest, advanced Stock Judging
andlectures on the Principals of Ami
mails Breeding. Sufficient veterinary
work will be given to enable the
farmer to identify diseases, apply en-
ergency remedies and perform simple
operations. The dairy work will CON
sist of courses in butter making, milk
testing, etc. The dairy equipment is
one of the finest in the West. Foul
different courses are offered i'm F'ruit
Growing. and several courses of lee
lures in Agronomy., The boys will
learn Farm Machinery from the pillow
to the farm automobile. The irris
ton work will consist of lectures up
on the application of water to crops,
measurement of water, etc Enough
practice will be given with the level
to enable the student to run laterals
and lay out farm drains.
I'VE call it Practical Agricultural
School for the reason that students
are not only told how to do things.
but actually learn to do them by
means of practical work in the labor
atory periods.
students will be admitted from
the Sth grade and will be given a
course extending over three years OF
six months each. The first year will
open October II, 1910, and will close
March IS, 1911. This is the first
school of Agriculture established in
the Northwest, and we hope to make
1t prominent feature of our work in
agriculture.

tail the course of study and terms
of admission and can be secured by

z HOURS ALLOWED FOR
MAKING TRIP TO POLLS
Employees Projected by Law from
Losing Wages in Taking
Time to Vote

The fact that many voters are un-
acquainted with their right to quit
work for at least two hours in order to
attend the polls and do their duty to
the state without having their salaries
or wages doclSed may cause light vote
at the coming primaries
This is a point in which the law will
see that they are protected. Too great
publicity cannot be given this matter,
as it is common information that many
workingmen do lose their votes through
fear of the losses they imagine it would
occasion them.
Another point which needs to be en-
phasized and upon which the voters
perhaps cannot be too frequently in
structed is the necessity Of using eau
ton in the use of the rubber stamp
and of the sticker respectively at the
time of preparing the ballot for deposit
in the ballot box. 1t must be remem-
bered that the rubber stamp is for use
opposite the names of candidates to be
voted for and that the sticker and not
the rubber stamp is to be used OPP
posite the names of delegates. Confu-
sion in this matter may cause the re-
lection of the ballot.

LEAGUE SHEDS LIGHT
ON HISTORY OF MOSS
LincoIn-RooSeveIt Organization
Issues Statement Regarding
Career of Candidate

Concerning the candidacy of Judge
Leon F. Moss for the superior court
the Los Angeles Lincoln-RooseVelt
league yesterday issued the following
statement:
"If an experienced, practical, political
manipulation is the sort of man the
people of Los Angeles county desire for
a judge of their superior court they VIII
elect Leon F. Moss. Otherwise they
will bury him beneath an avalanche OF
votes next Tuesday.
Judge Moss has never been elected
to the bench. He occupies the position
he now fills through the grace of Gov
ernor Gillett, and his appointment was
made in the face of strong opposition
on the part of leading members OF the
bar of Los Angeles county-lawyers
who did not want to see the bench oc
cupied by a man whose highest claim
to that honor lay in the services he
had rendered the Southern Pacific ma
chine.
GAS is we'll known, Moss was the
visible head of the machine forces two
years ago. Walter Parker, however,
was the real boss, then as now. In con-
nection with Republican push head
quarters on Spring street, Moss MAIN
tanned a private office. 1t was sepa-
rated from the office Of the secretary
of the campaign committee by light
we'll. When callers visited the head
quarters they were ushered into the
public office of the secretary. When
Walter Parker visited headquarters he,
in common with the run of visitors, en-
tered the public office.
Parker sometimes wanted to see
Moss privately, of course. He did not
deem it wise to be seen entering the
private office, but this difficulty was
easily surmounted. A temporary bridge
was erected between the secretary's
office and the private office occupied
by Moss, crossing the light well.
Parker would saunter through the
door to the secretary's office, close the
door and then step out upon the bridge,
entering the office of Moss through one
of it's windows. What transpired in
that office probably none but Moss or
Parker knows"

FRIEND OF BLIND PIGS,'
SAY VOTERS OF LEEDS
Seventeen Assembly District Re-
calls Work of Representative
in Last Legislature

It is hardly likely that the residents
of the SEVENTEEN assembly district
have forgotten the solicitude of AS
semblyman Walter r. Leeds Tor the
proprietors of the "blind pigs during
the last session of the Legislature.
Leeds introduced at that session a
bill which, had it become law, would
have taken from the office of the dis
trict attorney the power to prosecute
these blind pig" operators in any
place but the township in which the
law touching the conduct of these
places was violated.
The introduction of this particular
ly vicious bill by Leeds caused the
church people OF Los Angeles, rep
resented in the church federation, to
assemble in mass meeting and pass
resolutions condemning the measure in
no unmistakable terms. Notwithstand-
ing the opposition that developed,
Leeds continued the fight for his pet
measure until he found that 1t would
be hopeless.
Leeds was on the wrong side of prac-
tically every question of importance
which came up during the session of
1909 Even in the little things affect
ing the pockets of the railroad COM
panies. Assemblyman Leeds showed
himself to be the faithful friend and

SAYS STANTON IS
BL|NDING VOTERS
Machine Candidate Declares the
Abolition of Party Circle
Democratic Measure
THE BILL HAD REPUBLICAN AID
Man Now a GubernatoriaI Candi-
date Accused of Helping to
Defeat Proposed Law

Philip A. Stanton, in his personal
Statement to the Voters of California"
in explaining his vote against the So
called party circle bill, obviously at
tempts to mislead voters by declaring:
1.-THE proposition for the abolition of
the party circle was strictly Demo-
cratic measure"
AS matter of fact, the measure had
the support and the vote of Republi-
can senators of the character of Bell
of Pasadena, Thompson of Los Ange-
les, Roseberry of Santa Barbara, Wal
ker of Santa Clara, Boynton of Oro-
vile, Estudillo of Riverside, Black Of
son of Oakland, Rush of Suisun and
Anthony of San Francisco, all Re
publicans whose Repubicanism Mr..
Stanton will hardly dare to question.
Four other Republican senators, who
were rarely found voting for desirable
measures, supported this bill. They
were Wright of San Diego, Willis of
San Bernardino, Leavitt of Alameda,
and Wolfe of san Francisco. They
numbered practically all Of the anti
machine senators and included all the
brains of the Republican push in the
senate. In the assembly practically all
of the anti-machine Republicans voted
against the motion to deny the second
bill second reading. The leaders in
the fight for its passage are all Re-
publicans.
When the motion to reconsider the
vote by which the bill had been de-
MED second reading came up there was
some sharp practice on the part of the
Republican push" members. OF the
incident the Oakland Enquirer said:
During the discussion of the ques-
ton Young of Berkeley ably defended
the bill, in the course of his remarks
accusing Speaker Stanton of having
assisted in the 'jamming' which was
indulged in bv the organization to re-
fuse the measure second reading"
The Enquirer also stated that While
the vote was pending vote getting eff
forts on the part of the opponents of
the measure verged on the disgrace
full while the tactics of Assemblyman
Transue, who was Stanton's right
hand man in his opposition to the bill,
were denounced as dirty and unfair"
The machines efforts, with STAN
toms able and Transue's dirty and
unfair" methods Ito quote from the
Enquirer) resulted in the final defeat
of the measure.

REPUBLICANS USE NAME
OF FLINT TO GAIN VOTES

Personal letters bearing a stamp
facsimile signature Of M. H. Flint,
former postmaster, who is now in the
east, are being mailed by the campaign
organization of w o. Welch, the reg
ular Republican candidate for county
tax and license collector, and Frank
Bryson, candidate of the machine for
public administrator, urging Republi-
can voters to cast their primary bal
lots for Welch and Bryson. The Flint
letter declares that the supposed writer
would not consider himself loyal to
his friends if he did not make this
appeal for the election of Bryson and
Welch.
The Welch supporters apparently
recognize that with Mr. Swartwout,
the Lincoln Roosevelt candidate and
e. E. johnson, an independent Repub-
lican, against him that only per-
sonal appeal by his friends In the
name of friendship will secure him the
nomination.

REFORM FORCES DENY
GIVING OSTER SUPPORT

Secretary Charles E. Bent of the Los
Angeles Good Government organiza-
ton yesterday called attention to a
published misstatement relative to the
candidacy of Judge Frank f. Oster of
San Bernardino for the nomination as
associate justice Of the district court
of appeals
The Herald was made to announce,
through gross misrepresentation, that
Judge Oster had received the indorse-
ment of the Good Government forces
of several counties" which, 1t has since
learned, is not true.
Mr.. Bent's statement is as follows:
"In a recent issue of The Herald,
the statement was made that the can
didacy of Frank F. Oster for the Re-
publican nomination as associate JUS
tice Of the district court of appeals
had received the Endorsement of the
Good Government forces of several
counties
'In connection with this statement,
we desire to say that the Good Gov
ernment organization has made no in
dorsement or recommendation of any
particular candidate for public office
for the coming primary election. The
Good Government organization, 1t is
true, did express its approval, in gen
eral of the candidates indorsed by the
lincoln Roosevelt Republican league
and by the Democratic county confer
ence at Long Beach, but as that or
ganization made no Endorsement what
ever for justice of the appellate court,
It cannot be said that the Good Gov
ernment organization even indirectly
Endorsed any one for that office.
"This statement is made without in
any manner desiring to reflect upon
Tie candidacy of Judge Oster or to
express a preference as between the
two for either him or Judge Victor e..
Shaw for the office in question"
