WRITES LETTER
Says "Possum Hunters" Or
ganization is Against Him
to a Man and The Fight is
Now On.
UNDER OBLIGA-
TON TO NO MAN
advertising


Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens:
The race between Mr.. Gibson and
me is rapidly drawing to a close.
The office of Circuit Judge is, to
my mind, the most important office
within the gift Of the people.
The rights of the people to prop
erty, life and liberty should be pro-
tected, and, TO that end, the Circuit
Judge, of all men should come into
the office free from any entangle-
ment or obligations that would pie
vent him from dealing out equal and
exact justice to all persons who
come into Court.
/ am under no obligations to any
man, organizations or class Of
men, and have no entangling ALL
ances of any kind. 1t Is my pur-
pose to see that the law Is enforced,
the guilty punished, and the inno-
cent protected. have tried to con-
duct my canvass upon the high
plane that such an office demands,
aud have, So far, RETAINED from
mentioning some things that per-
haps should have been mentioned
sooner. My reason for doing 80 be-
ing that | hoped the people would
of themselves, see the trend of mat
tiers and take warning. But some
thugs have developed in this race
that demand plain speaking, and
am convinced that it is for the good
of the Democratic party that
should call your attention to them.
The Democratic party cannot af-
ford to be made a tool of by any or
ganization for any purpose, and

with this organization, believing, at
the time, that it was necessary. for
the protection of-theIr interests; to
become members. After the organ.
IzatiOn became active many of the
members saw their mistake, and
many things were done that did not
meet with their endorsement but
their mouths werel clOsedl by their
obligations, and they kept silent;
they have no desire to keep up the
organization, the conditions that
caused lt having passed away. It's
work IS now past history aud should
be buried and forgotten. Many 9TH
ers stood by the organization IN
sympathy, if not by active help, and
seem disposed to keep 1t alive. We
have today, In this district, an or

some of the counties within the

Mystery Ship Minnesota
Maintains Strict Silence

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 1I.-Actinp
under orders from the department of
justice in Washington, A. M. Blanford
local agent Of the department, early to-
day attempted to board the disabled
Hill liner Minnesota, which is being
towed up the coast to San Francisco .
bianford was unable to locate the
Minnesota, which passed San Pedro
harbor earlier than expected
de was flashed rush orders to board
the vessel if possible when it was re.
ported that an attempt would be made
to take man off the ship as it passed
inns port. Blanford intended to defin.
itely ascertain what had hapDeped
aboard the ship. Her officers and agonts
OF the Hill line refuse to tell how the
liner, en- route to England with food
and dynamite was disabled.
Blanford' s instructions were issued
by Chief Bielaski of the bureau of in.
vestigation, Washington.
Failing to find the Minnesota Blan.
ford spoke with her from the Marconi
wireless station, San Pedro, at 4:3O a.
IN. His wireless conversation with her
was the first held directly with the yes.
sci by other than agents of her own.
ers since she was disabled. She gave
her position as off Santa Barbara, well
within the three mile neutrality zone.
1t is believed a most serious men
ace to the Minnesota might lurk outside
the three mile limit, as she is running
a constant risk by hugging the shore
The tugs towing her could hardly keen
her off the rocks in the event of n
storm, it is believed.
One thousand tons of dynamite are
included in her cargo, according to in
formation secured by federal investi-
gators.
Blanford did not secure confirmation
of the report that Captain Garlick was
not in command, or that he had been
replaced by the chief mate.
