An Associated Press dispatch from
San Francisco says: In an interview
recontly Governor Hiram "W. John
son of California' explained why he
did not attend the banquet given in
honor of President Taft here the
other ovdning by the directors of tho
Panama-Pacific international exposi
tion. It was because the governor
wished to forestall embarrassment to
the president that might result from
a possible attack on tho recall of tho
judiciary ' and direct legislation,
which were made a part of the Cali
fornia constitution by the recent
election, to an attack on which he
could not listen silently, says tho
governor, that he stayed away.
"Our only thought was," said
Governor Johnson, "to extend to the
president of the nation fitting greet
ing and to render his stay all that he
could wish. Wherever there waa a
possibility of any untoward event we
sought to avoid it, as at the San
Francisco banquet. It required no
Inscrutable power to divine that
somebody at the banquet would prob
ably, in concurrence with the presi
dent's view, attack the action of our
poople upon direct legislation and
the recall, and that the serenity of
the occasion might not be marred we
absented ourselves upon that occasion."

should bo given the state's delega
tion. The democrats of Missouri
have spoken once and they can
speak again." In reply to the public
declaration of the defiance which, up
to this timo, has been somewhat
masked, Speaker Clark merely re
iterated his statement that he has
"never begun a conversation about
the running of president, never wrote
a letter asking any one's help and
never spent a' cent for it" in his life.
Further than this he refused to be
quoted.

Tho Chicago Daily Journal says:
George E. Dickson of New Lennox,
111., who wag a schoolmate of Gover
nor Deneen in McKendree college,
and a member of the same debating
society as the governor, announced in
Chicago that ho would be a candi
date for the democratic nomination
for governor. Ho will have Chicago
headquarters In suite 927, Associa
tion building.
Mr. Dickson is a Bryan democrat,
an advocate of the initiative and
referendum, and a champion of
organized labor. As a1 lawyer he
made a specialty of indemnity in
surance, and not long ago obtained
control of the Royal Casualty com
pany, to which he now devotes his
time. He conducted the prepara
tion of the defense in the famous
Moyer-Pettibono trial in Idaho, giv
ing fourteen months to it, and ob
taining the release from prison of
Stephen Adams on a writ of habeas
corpus, which contributed materially
to the victory of .the defense.
His father was a Methodist minis
ter in the southern Illinois con
ference, and Mr. Dickson is a Metho
dist layman of prominence. At a
layman's conference last month he
stirred up excitement by severely
criticising the church's attitude to
ward union labor. He demanded
that church publications should em
ploy only union workmen.

have indorsed Governor Folk for tho
democratic presidential nomination
through their chosen representatives
in convention assembled. This in
dorsement was part of tho last demo
cratic platform and was accepted in
good faith by a large number of the
democrats of tho state. This action
was taken after full discussion bo
fore the people for six months pre
vious to the convention. Back of
this indorsement is tho will of more
than 80 per cent of the members of
the state. Mr. Clark, It will be re
membered, was tho chairman of that
committee. Every fair-minded man
will concede that Governor Folk
said Mr. Dickson. "I am not a labor
man but I understand the aims of
the labor unions and sympathize with
them. Both labor and capital may
depend on my fairness.
"Much of my time is passed in
southern Illinois. I have a consider
able acquaintance all over the state
and have received the promises of
many friends to support me. I am
not against any. My candidacy is
supported by neither Harrison nor
Sullivan; I appeal to the support of
all democrats, regardless of faction."

The attorneys for state and prose
cution in the McNamara trial at Los
Angeles are engaged in selecting a
jury and the probability is that con
siderable time will be used in that
effort. An Associated Press dispatch
describes the difficulties in this way:
What is considered one of the big
issues of the trial whether a man
who believes firmly that the Los
Angeles Times building was de
stroyed by dynamite is thereby dis
qualified from serving on the jury '
rested in the hands of Judge Walter
Bordwell, who presided over the
trial instituted to show whether
James B. McNamara caused the
death of Charles J. Hagerty, a ma
chinist, who lost his life in the Times
explosion and fire. Opposing coun
sel see no hope of securing a Jury
until this point is decided.
Attorney Clarence S. Darrow and
other counsel for the defense, hold
ing that the Times explosion waa
caused by gas and that McNamara
could not have brought it about for
this reason argued in court that a
fixed belief in the dynamite theory
prejudiced the rights of their client
and that the talesman who held it
would not be a fair juror.
District Attorney John D. Fred
ericks, for the state, compared tho
situation to tho case of a burned
barn, which is a case of record.
"Believing that the barn was
burned, yet having no opinion as to
whether the defendants burned it,
a talesman was allowed to serve aj
a Juror," he said. "Similarly a tales
man may believe that tho Times
building was destroyed by dynamite
and still have no opinion In mind
regarding the defense In this case,
as these men say they have.-"
"Is that your idea of a fair juror?
asked Attorney Darrow, after Otto
A. Jesson had testified that he be
lieved tho Times was wrecked by
members or officers of trades unions,
and ttiat ho "though he had a pre
judice against unions, but had n
prejudice toward McNamara him
self "
"It certainly Is," replied Fred-
ericks
"Well, I lika your idea of fair
ness," said Mr. Darrow, In a ww
voice.
