Important Political Statement

State Senator John n. Anderson of
this district in the Santa Ana Reg
lister says:
So much is being written by some
of The standpat Republican newspa
per n-en and stated from the rosrrum
by come of the orators of the stand
pat Republican party about the ad-
ministration of state affairs under
Gobe~nor Johnson that l personally
know to be misleading and deceptive,
and that surely are being written and
spoken either insincerely with the OBJ
iect of deceiving the rank and file
of The Republican party, or without
knowledge Of political conditions pre-
vailing in this state for even the brieS
period dating back to the Santa Cruz
convention in 1906, we'll remembered
through a certain social function con-
nected with that convention and COM
ing Gown through that period as the
"Shame of California" that I feel it
a duty l owe to the voters of my
district to give out for publication 4

Diary or indirect evidence, nor on
newspaper publications, nor on ora
toricGl effects, nor on street talk, but
on my. own personal knowledge.
represented this Thirty-ninth SEN
atorial district in the state senate at
the legislative sessions of 1905, 1907
and 1913; the first two sessions when
the cid Republican party, now some
times spoken of as standpat or reac-
tionary, was in complete control of the
state administration, and when few
OF that party's bosses, representing
the interests of large public service
corporations. and not the interests of
the people. dominated the legislatures,
and the last session, when the reform
element of the old Republican party,
now known as Progressives, were in
complete control of the state admin
istration, and when the legislature
was not dominated by any boss or set
of bosses representing the interests
of the large public service corpora
tions or any other interests except
those of all the people.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-02

BIT it remembered before l make
any further statements, that l did not
receive my nomination in 1904
through tie influence of the friends
and followers Of any railroad or other
corporation, but rather against such
influence, after a long, hard campaign,
and that was the beginning of the
fight for clean politics and political
freedom from corporate domination,
at least in this part of the state.
That those who read this may draw
q correct contrast between the pro-
gressive administration under the
clean, moral, honest and able leader
ship of Governor Johnson, and the
former administrations. I frankly ad-
NIT and state without fear of con-
tradiction by my legislative associ-
ates, including my friend Senator
Curtin, the Democratic nominee for
governor, with whom l served in the
said three sessions of the legislature.
or any others who were in a position
to know the true conditions) that it
was practically impossible to pass
any measure through the said legisla-
lures of 1905 and 1907 against the will
of those few bosses like Abraham
Ruef, now serving time in the state
prison for bribery; the late Walter
Parker, then tax agent for the South
ern Pacific Railroad; Jerry Burke
of San Francisco, and others who kept
in close touch with the members.
These men controlled the committees,
and no bill could even get out of com
mittee that they and their friends
desired killed l we'll remember the
heroic effort of Mr.. Eshleman (now
Progressive and Republican nominee
for lieutenant governor), as a member
of -he assembly of 1907, to get his
anti-racetrack gambling bill out of the

killed, and any effort to get it out Oh

! state from north to south, calling up
on the people to "kick the rascal<
out" There were some good, honest
Independent able men attending the
conventions and legislatures, but they
could do little more than wage a los
ing fight; until, after gaining little
at each election, the reform element
of the party, feeling strong enough
to make a break, fifty of us met at
Oakland in 1907 and organized the
Lincoln-Roosevelt League, offering an
opportunity to the enslaved rank and
file Of the party to make a bolt foE
freedom; and the opportunity was so
greedily grasped that by the general
election of 1910 and under the lead
ership Of Governor Johnson the re-
form element Of the party and the
progressive elements in other parties
-wrested the government of the state
from the said undesirable domination
and set up free, Independent and
moral government of the people,
bringing about the enactment of laws
that would have been impossible for
the people to get under former ad-
ministrations. In coming out of the
legislatures of 1905 and 1907 and GO
ing into the legislature Of 1913, it
was like coming out of a stock eX-
change and going into a well regu-
lated debating society; no bosses di-
recting legislative action, and a gen
eral desire for passing only laws
tending to the greatest good for the
greatest number; and as far as | am
able to Judge, that is the tendency
of all laws passed by the legislature
under the Johnson administration.
1t seems clear to me that had we
not succeeded in our fight with the
Old Guard the state would not now
have any of the many popular and
beneficial things that have come to the
people the last few years; such as q
general housekeeping of some of the
state offices and institutions, an ac-
tive and effective railroad commits
sion, woman suffrage, workmen's
compensation, eight law for
women and several laws for the bet
ter care of women and children, the
primary election law providing, among
other things, for the selection of pub
lie servants by the people instead of
/ by packed convention, and taking
the judiciary and county offices out
of politics. 1t also seems apparent
to me that the people of this state
would not now be in a campaign fol
"California Dry" with a prospect OF
success but for the moral sentiment
stirred to action by the activities OF
the reform movement of the Progress.

alive UNION OF AMERICA.
Those who till the soil are the
chosen people of God
Farming is as old as the human
race and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows.
No ciYilizatian has ever advanced
beyond Its agricultural development.
No farmer is successful who
thinks more Of his barn than he
does Of his home.
The development of the farmer
himself must precede the full de-
velopment of the ground he tills.
The nOst beautiful fact in the
farmers work is that everything he
plants is a lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of his neighbor;
his great business is to get ahead of
himself
We niust give to the people who
live on the farm the same educa-
tiOnal advantages for their children
as thosG of cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency
of much potentiality because the
rural life movement is religious as
well as Industrial and social.
In a recent survey of a commun-
ity in New England, the average
annual income Of 154 farmers who
have common school education was
1929, while the average net income
Of 122 farmers Of the same locality
with a high school education was
$482 annually. This was worth to
each farmer who possessed it $253
each year.
