Powell, R. L. P. Bigelow, W. M. Gracey, W. W. Waggoner, Wm. Richards and R. Ww. Rodda. Mr. Washburn’s explanation of the incident and the action of the vestry thereon appear below: To the Vestry, Emmanuel Churen, Grass Valley: Gentlemen: On Wednesday of last week Mr. Earl Hiscox the Game Warden, interviewed me regarding my using a“citizen’s license .to shoot deer. I explained to him that due to wrongs. advice I had let pmy first U. S. papers ran out. The Warden expressed himself as satisfied that I had acted in good faitn, had no intent to deceive or defraud anyone, but said he must act on the technicalities of the law. Judge Smith of Auburn listened to my evidence, expressed himself as finding no intent to deceive or defraud, but said he was powerless to do otherwise than ‘to impose upon ne the minimum fine of $25. I wish to state, gentlemen, that in the publicity given to this matter, the statement that it was brought out in court that Iam a citizen of Canada is not true. This was not mentioned, and I do not think I am a citzien of Canada. I came to U. S. in 1922 antook out first Papers in that: year. I was told I could get second ppaers in five years, [ admit carelessness on my part, for I overlooked getting these papers in the year. 1927—_but with an election on in 1928 in St. Johns, Michigan, I proceeded to get these papers, but was informed that I was too late. It was not until recently that I learned from Judge Tuttle that the Judge in Michigan gave me erroneous information and that I was e up ntitled to second papers years after taking out the first, and that all I can now do is to go through the whole five year Probationary period again. to seven I have been for some little time. in correspondence with the Judge in Michigan, who wrongly advised me, trying to get final Papers without waiting another five years. If this Judge had known the lew, I would have been a full fledged citizen of the United States severa years ago. I hardly think that the sovernment of Canada looks upon any man as a citizen of that country after taking out his first papers the United States and Swearing legiance to the U. S. flag. I am sorry that-I deemed it neeesSary to call you together tonight, but in view of the matter having become publicized an explanation from me was due both to you and the public. I feel that I was ‘in ho: Manner to blame for the unfortunate incident. ‘ Sincerely yours, CHAS. F. WASHBURN, Rector, Episcopal Church, Valley and Nevada City.

STRAW BALLOT FAVORS HAIGHT pears to be the most comprehensive and most carefully arranged straw vote yet taken on the California Governorship has just been completed, and its results have just been studied and analyzed here. The figures show that. In a three-way contest between Upton Sinclair, Democratic candidate, Frank F. Merriam, Republican candidate, and Raymond L. Haight, Progsressive-Fusion candidate, Sinclair would win by a very comfortable margin; Haight would be second by a handful of votes, and Merriam would be third. The exact tally certified by oath follows: SINCLAIR HAIGHT 7225 4902 Total votes 17,101 Ina two-way contest between Sinclair and Merriam, the SocialistDemocrat author would be an overwhelming victor, winning by more than 2-to-1, thus: SINCLAIR MERRIAM Total votes 17,101 Ina two-way contest between Sinclair and Haight, the young ProgresSive-Fusionist would be the, winner and the next Governor of California, the tally being: ; HAIGHT SINCLAIR Total votes The natural inclination miss all political straw votes as propaganda—barring, of course, those wonderful canvasses of the Literary Digest. So there arises, concerning this present poll, these questions—In whose interest was it taken? manner was it taken? Who took it? Here are the answers: Dr. Jean A. sreauxea (pronounced ‘“Brozea’’) well-to-do Glendale dentist interested. in Sovernmenta! affairs, determined to learn for himself, if Possible, the actual Political feeling in California right now, Breauzea_ declares himself non-partisan. He made an arrangement with a friend, manager of the Globe Circulation Company, an organization whose business is getting subscriptions’ for maga: zines. The arrangement was this: Each of the circulation company’s 110 field solicitors was provided with a pad of printed ballots setting forth the candidates’ names and listing them in the three-way and two-way contests. The ballots were offered first, before any talk of magazines was put forward, in order to engage the interest of the Possible subscribers in homes and offices. It was an ingenious “approach” for the soliciis to disbecause of it. (Each possible subscriber was requested to mark the ballot secretly, fold it over and then drop it into a sealed container which the solicito; carried). The Solicitors made it clear that they had no interest in any one candidate. “The ballots were taken from the containers and counted in the presence of myself, officials of the circulation company and a committee of disinterested outsiders, and the results were exactly as I now make one Republican and fifty Democrats .

His announcement of the canvass, and his affidavit, naturally enough, received the closests attention of those in charge of Raymond L. Haight’s campaign, because the figures seemed to bear out their long-continued assertion that Merriam could, not possibly defeat Sinclair, while Haight could.,: “Every inducement’ has been offered Haight to withdraw from the race,’’ his managers said today. ‘‘He is not going to, of course. He is in to the finish. If there is to be any withdrawal, let Mr. Merriam withdraw. In order to beat:Sinclair, the successful opponent must win 2 great number of votes from dissatisfied Democrats and dissatisfied Redublicans. Merriam can’t possibly do that. Haight unquestionably can. This straw vote shows the true feelings of a typical, diversified group of California voters.’” porating IEARL LEE KELLY . TOBECHAMBERS’ .

YELLOW JACKETS WILL PLAY GRANT SATURDAY City Yellow Jackets Grant Union High : next Saturday at Cashin’s Field. It is expected that — the game will be close and hardfought. The weaknesses showed by the local eleven in their scoreless tie , with Biggs last Saturday will be j ironed out and the running attack will be far more effective, according to Coach Bev Barron. Last Saturday the locals looked good’ in the first half, but seemed to lack the punch to put over a score. Biggs was clearly outclassed, but the Yellow Jackets could not quite push the ball into pay dirt. They looked better than they did against Oroville two weeks ago. The team work was smoother and the tackling was surer, but the blocking still leaves something to be desired. This will no doubt be improved before the game . with Grant. The Nevada will meet the ‘School eleven . HUNTING PARTY KILLS BIG BUCK AND LION Robert.

The arrangement was this: Each of the circulation company’s 110 field solicitors was provided with a pad of printed ballots setting forth the candidates’ names and listing them in the three-way and two-way contests. The ballots were offered first, before any talk of magazines was put forward, in order to engage the interest of the Possible subscribers in homes and offices. It was an ingenious “approach” for the soliciis to disbecause of it. (Each possible subscriber was requested to mark the ballot secretly, fold it over and then drop it into a sealed container which the solicito; carried). The Solicitors made it clear that they had no interest in any one candidate. “The ballots were taken from the containers and counted in the presence of myself, officials of the circulation company and a committee of disinterested outsiders, and the results were exactly as I now make one Republican and fifty Democrats .

His announcement of the canvass, and his affidavit, naturally enough, received the closests attention of those in charge of Raymond L. Haight’s campaign, because the figures seemed to bear out their long-continued assertion that Merriam could, not possibly defeat Sinclair, while Haight could.,: “Every inducement’ has been offered Haight to withdraw from the race,’’ his managers said today. ‘‘He is not going to, of course. He is in to the finish. If there is to be any withdrawal, let Mr. Merriam withdraw. In order to beat:Sinclair, the successful opponent must win 2 great number of votes from dissatisfied Democrats and dissatisfied Redublicans. Merriam can’t possibly do that.

YELLOW JACKETS WILL PLAY GRANT SATURDAY City Yellow Jackets Grant Union High : next Saturday at Cashin’s Field. It is expected that — the game will be close and hardfought. The weaknesses showed by the local eleven in their scoreless tie , with Biggs last Saturday will be j ironed out and the running attack will be far more effective, according to Coach Bev Barron. Last Saturday the locals looked good’ in the first half, but seemed to lack the punch to put over a score. Biggs was clearly outclassed, but the Yellow Jackets could not quite push the ball into pay dirt. They looked better than they did against Oroville two weeks ago. The team work was smoother and the tackling was surer, but the blocking still leaves something to be desired. This will no doubt be improved before the game . with Grant. The Nevada will meet the ‘School eleven . HUNTING PARTY KILLS BIG BUCK AND LION Robert.
