INTERPRETS TSsTHE LAW

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS /
SACRAMENTO, July 9.-Attorney
General Webb has issued an opinion
at the request of Secretary of State
Frank Jordan, to the effect that SUI
perior judges are not state officials and
therefore are not required to file nom
ination papers with the secretary Of
state, but with the county clerk of
their respective counties. There was
ambiguity in the wording of the elec-
ton law which apparently classified
them as state officials. The attorney
general concludes that they are not
voted for by the electors of the entire
state, and therefore they need not
comply with regulations governing the
state officials in elections The de-
CisiOn means saving of $40 filing fee
for each candidate for the superior
bench. The county fee is $50.

Moreover, | feel that everywhere |

the Republican voters themselves had
the chance to express their wishes l

The titular national Republican
party today is not the party of the Re-

of Abraham Lincoln, but purely the
party OF AIeSSrS. Barnes, Penrose, Gug-
genheim and company, who have stOl-

anything else. Therefore | hold every
honest Republican who is true to Lin

Under such conditions the entire
local Republican organization in a
state like Kansas can rightly continue
as such and yet is in duty bound loyal
ly to support the National Progressive
electors. OF course, ! feel that in
every such progressive Republican
state the progressive candidates for
office should openly support the
National Progressive electors and go
in the same column on the ticket with
them.

WALTER PARKER DEAD

Walter F. Parker. former leader Of
the Republican party IN Southern Cali
fornia, passed away al the California
hospital. Los Angeles. az 1910 o'clock
Sunday night Mrs. Parker and their
two young sons. John and Frank, were
at the bedside when the end came.
Mr.. Parker was for many years the
agent and confidential adviser of the
Southern Pacific railroad. 1t was
chiefly through his jnstrumentality
that the Southern Pacific company
maintained a formidable position III
the political world.
His success as a railroad official
kept pace with that in politics. Until
the complete reorganization of the Re-
publican party in this state, when the
political insurgents, now known as the
PrOgressives, became active, he re-
tanned the leadership OF his party Mr..
Parker had been a political celebrity
in California for twenty years
Mr.. Parker was As years old He
was native Of Georgetown, Ohio He
practically began his political career
during his incumbency as secretary to
former Mayor RAIDER. Later he served
as an adviser 10 the state board of
examiners during the administration OF
Governor Henry T. Gage. Mr.. Parker
was the acknowledged Republican
leader in the campaign that resulted i'll
the election of Frank P. Flint to the
United States senate, and was promi.
nent in municipal political affairs.
Owing to failing health he was not
so active during the last year or two
in the political life Of this section.
Besides the widow, Mr. Parker is
survived by two young sons, John and
Frank. residing at 720 South Alvarado
street. Arrangements for the funeral
have not been made.

OPEN AIR SERVICES ARE
MEETING MUCH FAVOR

The union of the Protestant churches
in holding open-air meetings Sunday
evening is winning much commenda-
ton. The first of these services SUN
day night, when Rev. Oliver Saylor
preached, was a great success, the
music by the united choirs being heard
over a good portion of the town, while
the attendance was large.
While this is an innovation. it ap-
parently already has passed the eX-
perimental stage, and has solved what
has been a serious problem of the
churches, that of maintaining work
during the long summers.
