THOUGH ROOSEVELT LEADS,
DEMOCRATS CLAIM STATE
Assert That True Count Will Give
California to Gov.
III Wilson.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 16.-With
the vote OF every county Of the state off,
cially canvassed except Los Angeles and
Humboldt. Roosevelt leads by margin
of 80. The totals were:
Roosevelt, 2S3. .465: Wilson. 2S3 1866.
Seemingly, the final outcome hinges on
the result in Los Angeles county, where
tine official canvass has been halted by
court procedure. This is a progressive
stronghold, but democratic leaders per-
sist in their claim tha. Wilson has car
ried the state.
The present progressive state plurality,
say the democrats, is made up by adding
together county by county the vote re-
ceived in each county by the progressive
elector who ran highest therein. Thus.
In some counties where the name OF
Lieut. Gov. Wallace, progressive elector,
was scratched, the Wallace vote does not
appear in tables now at hand. Instead,
the vote of the man who stood highest on
times it was Pardee, sometimes Wheeler,
sometimes somebody else
This scheme. the democrats admit, also
was used by them, and is all right as to
counties, but they point out that the Off
cial popular progressive vote in the state
will be the vote for that one candidate
who stands first in the state as a whole.
This will be Wallace and his total vote,
the democrats argue, cannot be as great
as the highest progressive vote, taken
county by county. because in some cOun-
ties he ran behind his ticket
So they hope to win, affirming that
Thomas Griffin. leading democratic elector,
was not scratched anywhere.

WOULD TAKE DEADWOOO
FROM THE CIVIL SERVICE
Speaker Clark Believes Gov
ernment System Is Topheavy,
and Needs Amendment.

That the present civil service system
is topheavy and that the deadwood in
it should be removed swiftly is the idea
of Speaker Clark, as expressed today in
a statement written by him for The star.
The Speaker believes that there is a seri-
Gus problem in the government clerk. and
that Congress is not going to adopt any
or every scheme for benefiting clerks. for
pensioning them or retiring them unless
Congress can be shown that it is the wis.,
est move for the country at large.
Speakers Views.
Mr.. Clark's statement follows:
I'm my judgment the civil service sys-
tenn in some shape or fashion is per-
manency. Some places involve technical
knowledge or physical or mental training
and agility, others do not. Positions of
that class ought to be under civil service
rules and obtained by examinations. 1t
must be taken and accepted as true that
no party can afford to give places of re-
sponsibility to incompetents. But many
places require no technical knowledge
and the civil service has been extended
to cover these, which is OVERRIDING the
business.
Opposes Federal Pension System.
That the present system is rendering
the civil service topheavy and loading it
up with deadwood there can be no ques-
ton, and that situation ought to be REM
edied. In my opinion the government
ought not to create a pension system
from civil life. 1t might, however, adopt
a system properly worked out and rec
commended by a competent and reliable
actuary, by which persons in the civil
service can work out their own pension
system by fixed contributions from their
salaries. / mean d workable system, not
a haphazard or crazy-qullt sort of ar
rangement, which would soon go to
pieces of it's own weight. l think. per-
maps Congress would adopt such a
scheme, when convinced Of its practi-
! cabi.ity and satisfied that it's end and
aim is not to finally saddle the expense
on the government.
Cites Hindrances.
THE chief hindrance to any plan hith-
erto proposed is that the younger en-
ployes object by reason of the fact that
the older employees would enjoy the fun
benefits without contributing anything.
There is the rub, and there is where all
plans yet proposed have broken down.
Any man with sense enough to propose a
scheme to flx that which will be satisfac-
tory all around would be a public bene-
factor.
lone word more: Congress is not hos
tile to government employees, but Con-
greSs does not like 20 be constantly bully
ragged because it is unwilling to indorse
any and every scheme proposed. 1t will
require wisdom, patience and patriotism
all around to get out of the Welter in
which things now are"
