opponent of Senator Samuel NJ.
Shortridge for the Republican nomi

for Lieut.. Gov. C. G.. Young, opponent
Of Gov. Friend w. Richardson for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination.
His arrival set off an explosion of
bitter denunciation in some quarters,
his critics charging him with disloy-
atty in campaigning openly against
his colleague in the Senate and with
rneddling in State affairs in his cam
paign against Gov. Richardson. They
declared his purpose was to gain con-
troll Of two votes in the United States
Senate and to rule the State govern
mont here by proxy.
His fight to depose Richardson has
this interesting angle: Gov. Richard
son is running for reelection. which
only one governor since 1880 has
achieved and that one governor was
Hiram Johnson, who was elected chief
executive of California in 1910 and re
elected in 1914.

$4,000 BAIL FOR DWYER
DURING RUM CASE APPEAL
Court Sees Reasonable Doubt His
Conviction as Ring Head
Will Stand.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 20.-Federal
Judge Manton today granted the ap-
plication of William V. Buyer, head
of an alleged gigantic rum ring operat-
ing on land and sea, for his release
on bail pending the outcome of his
appeal from the conviction in Fedora
Court for conspiring to violate the
prohibition law. His bail was fixed at
$4,000.
Bail for E. c. Cohron, paymaster of
the alleged ring, convicted with
Dwyer, was fixed at $4,000.
Judge Manton, in granting a writ
of error, thereby giving Dwyer admis-
sion to bail, said that within the
case there are debatable questions
which at least formulate a reason
able doubt as to whether the convic-
ton will stand"
