WOMAN SUFFRAGE PARTY
OF RICHMOND BOROUGH

To Members Of the Woman Suf-
frage Party, Borough of Richmond:
The bill for Woman Suffrage has
been lost in the legislature during
the past week. Some months ago the
bill was defeated In the assembly, al
though our assemblyman, Mr.. Short,
voted in favor of the referendum.
Last week the bill was up for discus
sion in the senate and Senator Bayne
made a strong and eloquent speech
In favor of the spirit of democracy
which demands hat all the people
shall vOte upon a vital measure in
stead of having 1t settled by a few.
Several men in other borOughs who
had pledged TO vote for the Woman
Suffrage amendment either to re-
main while the vote vas being taken
or voted directly opposite 10 their
former promises.
These senators showed that they
did not believe in the will of the
voters. They were afraid to let our
bill go to their constituents for de-
cision. l am glad to say, however,
to the men and women of this Dor
ough, that Senator Bayne stood for
fairness and Justice. He showed that
he believed in the voters OF his dis
trict and not only that, he kept the
bill for justice TO women and for the
pure democracy Of the state on the
high level OF patriotism where It be-
longs. Senator Bayne needs no com
mendation for this act, nOT does he
need to be commended for voting on
other bills on the side of morality
and justice, but the citizens of Rich
mond are to be congratulated that
their senator has faith in their final
vote and that he represents them
rather than debating for them.
The many scores Of people who
have written Senator Bayne and AS
semblyman Short in regard to this
Woman Suffrage bill should know
that their requests have assisted
these men to vote as their COnstitu-
ents desire. While we have not been
successful in the passage Of u bills
this year, we shall gain by defeat re-
newed energy and renewed courage
to help us on to victory in 1913.
Let the many hundreds Of mem
bers of the Woman Suffrage party
ponder, talk, and work for suffrage
with increased fervor. Cordially for
the Cause of Justice for Women.

Hall Of Records, Los Angeles, Cal,
Oct, 1S,-Dynamite or gas?
The issues in the trial of James B.
Mcnamara, accused of the murder of
Charles J. Haggerty in connection
with the destruction of the Los An
geles Times, were squarely Joined to-
day.
It Is now of record that the state
will insist on dynamite plot in
proving its corpus delecti, while the
defense will resist this at all times,
by trying to show the explosion to
have been due to gas, and the death
of the 21 men who lost their lives to
have been accidental.
The joining of the issues followed
the interposition of challenge for
cause by the defense of Venireman
George w. Mckee, heretofore ac-
cepted by them. It developed over
night that he was on record as be-
lieving that dynamite caused the
Times disaster.
The state strenuously resisted eX-
cuslng this venirman for this cause.
District Attorney Fredericks took the
position that that, even though a
man believed that dynamite or other
high explosive was used, he would
still be a fair juror, If he did not
have the opinion that Mcnamara ac-
tually placed the explosive. He said

INSANE MAN
PUTS ONE over
The ENGINEERS

Despite that engineers gave it as
their opinion that the feat could not
be accomplished, Axcel Mares, a
Swedish sailor and inmate of the
state hospital for the insane, with the
assistance of about 200 other in
mates, raised a flag pole on the new
park at the asylum grounds yester-
day, and it marked an important
event in the history Of the institu-
ton, so far as the inmates were con-
cerned.
The pole was 1861 feet in length
and lay fiat on the ground. The
problem of raising it was submitted
to several employees of the institu-
ton. and they contended that it
could not be done by blocks and
tackles, as suggested by Mares. Hav-
ing confidence in his judgment. Dr..
Steiner, superintendent of the insti-
tuition, put him in charge of the
work. and, with about 200 inmates
pulling on the ropes. the sailor had
the satisfaction, after several hours
of labor. of seeing It raised

tary of State Olcott, Ralph Watson,

he believed, however, that venire-
man who was set In the belief that
the Times was destroyed by gas
explosion, and, therefore, accidental,
could not be qualified as a Juror.
Darrow expressed his qualification
that the issues were at last squarely
Joined. He said It would simplify
matters, as both sides would be able
to try to qualify jurors who had no
opinion regarding the cause. The
morning session was marked by a
sensational rebuke administered to
both sides. Darrow and Fredericks
had INDUCED in personalities over an
opinionated venireman, and Judge
Bordwell emphatically informed them
that such tactics would not be toler-
ated.
"This trial will proceed In an or
derly and lawful manner" said the
court" and deviations from this rule
will not be tolerated"
The rebuke was effective.
AT the close of the morning ses-
sion Judge Bordwell had reserved
decision on challenges for cause in-
terposed by the defense against two
venlremen, Gdbrge w. Mckee and
Otto A. Jensen, both of whom had
admitted having positive opinions
that the Times was destroyed by dy-

PRESIDENT EXTENDS
HIS TRIP TO SOUTH
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE !

Washington, Oct. S.-Progressives
here attribute the extension of Pres
ident Taft's trip to the endorsement
of Senator LaFollette Of Wisconsin
by the Chicago progressive confer
ence for the presidential nomination.
1t is reported that President Taft
originally believed the south would
solidly support him, and later the
word arrived that federal officers in
the south feared that a Democrat
would be elected in 1912 unless radi-
cal steps were at once taken.
1t is positively known that Presi-
dent Taft's managers considered this
theory in switching to original plans
of the tour, and the decision to visit
Kentucky and Tennessee is consid-
cred significant.
