aggregate 5000 as agreed on in con-
ference and by the House and Senate.

ported early in November to the district
attorney that Franklin had approached
him and from that time he acted under
the instructions of the prosecutor.
Two Indictments Reported.
January % two indictments were re-
ported by the county grand jury against
barrow for the alleged bribery of Balm
and Lockwood, and upon arrangement
the lawyer entered pleas of not guilty.
The trial on the Lockwood Indictment
weeks and two days elapsed until the
case went to the jury. making it the
longest criminal trial ever held in Los
Angeles county. o During that time ap-
proximately 2,O00UO words We're tran
scribed by the court reporters, for which
the cost to the county was something
like $1,000. The entire cost of the trial
was close to $4,000.
which began with the completion of the
jury May "A. thirty-eight witnesses testi-
fled, and exactly the same number of wit
nesses were introduced by the defense.
On rebuttal the number of state witnesses
was swelled to fifty.
Rested August 8.
The prosecution rested July s. and the
defense ended August 3. after a lengthy
cross-examination of barrow, who occu-
pied the stand for a week Four days
were required for the states rebuttal, and
both sides finally rested August 8.
In presenting the case against OAR
row the prosecution produced evidence
purporting to show that in addition
to the alleged corruption of jurors
barrow had been guilty of tampering
with state witnesses in the Mcnamara
case.
The chief reliance of the defense
was that the agreement between prose-
cution and defense under which the Nc
Namaras entered their pleas of guilty
was made prior to the alleged bribery
of Lockwood. and that there was there
fore no occasion for corrupting jurors
1t was also maintained throughout
that barrow was the victim of frame
up on the part of Franklin and the
authorities.

The presidential campaign is clos ing with a distinctly Progressive boom in every state in the Union. The South, where states have been con- ceded to the Democratic candidate from the beginning, have evidenced a tremendous gain in Roosevelt senti- ment, with an assurance that his vote in such areas will assume proportions beyond all early estimates. As to the North and West, the developments Ol last week have been a political revela- ton. They promise a Roosevelt land slide.
 The most striking disclosures, per haps, have been in the states where the situation was thought complicated, up to as late as ten days. This in- cludes such states as Minnesota, Wis consin, Colorado, Idaho, and Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and others in the East. In all these, in these closing days of the campaign, there has come a revelation of where the hitherto concealed strength lies.
 What has been the great silent vote is beginning to express itself regard ing it's intentions. The whole bubbling up expression is Progressive. where apathy was supposed to exist. It is now known that the so-calieG apathy indicated only quietude because ot o determination already fixed. T-ou~ ands and tens of thousands of voters, supposed to be hesitant, have already declared their intentions openly.
 In no one of the states mentioned is there such life as shows itself in the ranks of the Progressive party, and it is not merely life, but enthusi- astice and triumphant life There is exhibited, everywhere, vigor of pro- test, and of purpose, which will mani

WILL SPEAK CN HE
 REFERENDUM LAYS

Fred G. Athearn, manager Of the Bureau of Economics of the Southern Pacific Company, and a lecturer in economics at the University of Cal ifornia, and John B. Wright, former attorney general of Arizona, will ad- dress the voters of Yuma county on Wednesday evening at the Yuma thea ter. Athearn and Wright are just completing a trip over the entire state, having addressed some of the largest audiences during the present campaign.
 Both Athearn and Wright are speak ing on the referendum measures that are to be voted on November }. The fact that many of these bills have been pronounced detrimental to the progress and prosperity of Arizona, has caused an unusual interest among the voters over the whole state and large audiences have turned out to hear the railroad side of the casey par ticularly is this true of the more i'm portant towns of the state
 A careful study of the bills has been made by both speakers, and with the natural feeling that the railroads have right to be heard on a matter thaL will affect them so yitaIly, AtheaTn and Wright have been explaining the railroad side of the case.

The Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden., in a written statement, recently ere ated general surprise by announcing his intention to vote for Colonel The odore Roosevelt, principally because 1f his policy with reference to the rusts. He has been regarded as a Wilson supporter, although he has voted for every Republican candidate or president since Lincoln He says le will never vote for another Repub- ican presidential candidate.

fest itself in a degree to surprise the country on election day. None of the heretofore doubtful states, sO-called, is any longer in the wavering class. They are going for Roosevelt, as are an undefined number of states here tOfore claimed as assured for one or the other of them, by the Republican and Democratic leaders. It is very doubtful if, in the history of past elections, there has, just previous to the determining of the issue, been such a showing of specialization of sentiment among voters. It is all Pro- gressive The Democratic and Repub- lican leaders are all at sea. They fear, and they know that their fears are justified. They are undecided on ly as to the extent and depth and height of the wave which promises to engulf their parties. No enc can give these dimensions. It is enough that the wave is huge.
 And all this is but natural man. festation, just before the election, of the sentiment which has been extend ing with a swiftness uneXampled in the history of political parties. The principles and promise of the Progress sive platform have done their work. They have been the chief instruments in the propaganda, utilized alike by the party's speakers, and in it's cam paign literature. The people have ac- cepted that platform great fighting document that it is-in all hope and earnestness, as they have had oppor- tunity to become familiar with it's definite and practical promises Of re- form. As has been well expressed, in an analysis of what has been going on, the effort to make the personality of the Progressive nominee the chiet issue in the campaign-an effort sedu- lously undertaken by the bitter OppOn- ents of progress in both parties-has

The Democratic party had all the political straws in its favor in this campaign, and if that party doesn't win, and should landslide to Roose- welt develop at the polls next Tues day, the foolish attacks on Roosevelt by the Democratic party will be large ly responsible for it.
 It might be we'll to bear in mind that the Democratic party has no is- sue this year, except Roosevelt. The candidates, speeches prove this; no matter how much some well-meaning Democrats try to prove otherwise.
 One old chestnut, worn more threadbare than the rest, is again go- ing the rounds in boiler-plate form, in which they tell, all over again, that Hartman gave S5O,000 for Roose- velt's campaign fund, in 1904. Well, maybe he did, and it may even be true that Hartman wanted Roosevelt to get the benefit of the money when it was spent, but all the evidence before the Congressional Investigat- ing Committee has proven that when this money was given to help RooSe- welt. or at least to make Roosevelt feel that the money was given to help him, MT. Roosevelt, or the Ma tional committee, were not asking for help. Roosevelt's election was a fore gone conclusion, and conceded even by the Democrats, that the money given by Hartman and the Standard Oil and a lot of other fellows, too numerous to mention, went to the New York state fund, probably to buy some Tanmany support, for Odell couldn't. have been elected Governor of New York without such support
 Those New York fellows weren't worrying about Roosevelt, but were continually worrying about their own precious political lives, and sought to annex some of Roosevelt's popularity to help them through the tight place they were in.
 Incidentally, it undoubtedly was Colonel Roosevelt's desire to see MT.

 There is no lack of definite anl close estimates. Senator Dixon, whu. though manager of the Progressive campaign, has been conservative il. his figures from the beginning, doe not hesitate in making a forecast nov He says, "The past week has seen a wonderful specialization of poltica sentiment. One month ago I said thG there were then 2,OO0,0OO voters wh had not yet made up their minds hoT they would vote. Hardly a man is now left who doubts that either RoosC velt or Wilson will be the next Pres dent of the United States.
