mooney TALKS ON
HIRAM JOHNSON
IMPRISONED LABOR LEADER AT
TACKS SENATOR FROM CELL
IN SAN QUENTIN

Chicago Declaring that Hiram
johnson is his chief jailer, Tom Moon
ey writing from his prison cell in San
Quentin to the New York Call accuses
the recent candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination of the Republican par
ty and now a receptive candidate for
a third-party nomination, Of control
ling the situation in California which
has kept himself and Warren Billings
behind the bars, has imprisoned Anita
Whitney under the criminal syndical-
ism law and has continually deceived
the public into thinking that he stood
for the peoples rights.
According to Mooney, johnson IA
vored the withdrawal Of American
troops from Russia simply as a good
vote-catcher among service men and
their friends and relatives. He has not
stood for lifting the blockade against
the Russian people.
Says Mooney: -:
"Johnson is not a friend of oragn-
lied labor. He has never given labor
a fair hearing. Other prisoners than
labor prisoners have been considered
very favorable and shown much mercy
bv Hiram johnson as Governor.
"There are many such cases, but
will cite only one: Gee Sung, a Chin
csc tong man, shot and killed another
Chinarhan on a crowded street in San
Francisco. He was arrested on the
spot, taken to Jail; he confessed and
pleaded guilty to first degree murder
and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. Gee Sung served four years
five months and twenty days in San
Quentin prison, and was then com
muted to time served. The reason was
that Hiram johnson, Jr., was attorney
for the Chinaman in the matter Of
communication of sentence. His fee was
$4,000, and the act Of Communication Of
sentence was one Of the last Official
acts Of the Governor before resignine
to 90 to the United States Senate, the
Communication Of Gee Sung's senenct
read: tCommuted to a term to expire
March 81. 1917. The fee Of $4,000
explains much.
"Johnson has shown no mercy x
labor men in or out Of prison"

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS

THE craftsmanship of every great
i nation still passed from father to
son until the presidency Of the United
States was created, when the first
free-for-all race and an even start for
the highest prize was opened to the
sons Of men regardless of the accidents
of birth. In this fair test, new blood
has won every time with only two e1-
ception in century and a quarter.
Even John Quincy Adams did not
win the race, but was outrun at the
polls by Andrew Jackson, the son of
all immigrant. Political parties hav-
ing disappeared in 1924, four men en-.
tered the contest and deadlocked the
electoral college, which left the house
Of representatives to choose from
among the three highest candidates.
This eliminated the fourth man-Hen-
ry Clay-who aided in the election of
Adams and who received from the
new president the appointment OF
secretary of state.
The only non-partisap administra'
ton the country ever has had was not
a shining example of success. Uncom.
promising, alone. John Quincy Adams
stalked his solitary way, never once
turning to the right or to the left from
the strait and narrow path of indepen.
dence. With no sense of humor to re.
lieve his sense of self-rghteousness, tc
light up his view of his fellows or to
thaw his own icy virtues, it was i'm.
possible for his supporters to feel any
enthusiasm for him.
John Quincy Adams led the simple
life in the White House. Getting uI
at 5, he built his fire, read his daily
portion of the Bible and while the

the locals took the fast Fargo Ath-

Angel was on the mound for the To-
Gals and pitched an exceptionally fine
game, striking out many batters. The
whole team played together like well
oiled machine. There were very few
errors. For Fargo E. M. McGarry, did
equally as good work on the mound
for the visitors and pitched winning
ball for his team but he got poor sup
port at critical times which gave the
locals a chance to score when they
should have been cut off. Any way
it was mighty fine game all through
and the fans got the worth of their
money.

years ago they carried 8. This year
they will carry from 20 to 25. The
exact number will not be known until
the complete returns are available, but
many counties that were looked upon
as solid league territory two years
ago, have been turned over into the
independent column. while none OF
the counties in the independent col

The representation of the indepen-

senate will be greatly increased. The
league certainly will not have two

still uncertain whether it will have a
majority.
It was very far from being a COM
plete league victory. The independent
voters have gained ground rather than
lost by the election. They have two
congressman in place of none two
years ago. They have greatly increas-
err representation in both houses of
the legislature. They may yet win
two or more places on the state ticket,
