LOS ANGELES, Nor. . (Special.)
Wotnn'i power In pontic. ju ini
tiated In California through the adop
tion of the ufTrage amendment to the
state eonatitutlon. la expected to de
cide the. municipal election In Lo An
geles. December 5. Incidentally the
reault of thla earae election la expected
to hare consequences of National Im
portance. Three. National question are in
volved woman su!Traee. Socialism and
labor union closed-ahop principle. By
the sudden gift of political power to
the women of California they are
plunged Into the middle of a campaign
In which. o far. Soclallro and labor
unionism combined hare had the dom
inant Totee and the dominant vote.
It la to the rote of women that May

final Tlctory. and that women mean to

Victory Weald TIel Party.
National Socialism la the Brat phase
Involved In the result. because the
ticket now dominant represent all the
principles of the National Socialist
party: the local party hae the financial
and moral aupport of the whole Na
tional party and a Tlctory for Social
ism In Los Angeles would be cracking
ona of the hardest nuta presented to
Socialism In America.
National labor unionism la Involved
In the second phase, because It haa
aligned tta vote In thla campaign with
that of the Socialists. It meana a
fusion of BO-called proletariat interests
aa In Milwaukee a year and a half ago,
when the Socialist administration
trained power.
Involved In the labor union phase la
the long-drawn-out content to trans
form Lo Angele from Ita widely
known character aa an "open-shop
city to a "closed shop" city. It la the
first time In a struggle of many yeara
of growing Intensity that there has
been an attempt to wrest control of
municipal government for thla purpose.
I alma Ceatrtbate nt.
In aupport of thla ticket It 1 esti
mated that the union of the country
have contributed $100,000 to the elec
tion of llarriman and his ticket and of
thla $50,000 alone has been contributed
by the Pan Francisco and Northern
California labor union. Labor union
ism would introduce the aame realm
In Lo Angele that haa Just been ter
minated In San Francisco by the elec
tion of Rolfe over McCarthy.
The third and minor phase of Na
tional Interest la the attitude of tha
women themselvea on the two fore
going questions. Alexander la a pro
gressive Republican and one of the
leaders of the party responsible for
the recent radical alteratlona In the
slate's fundamental law. lie waa a
supporter of suffrage, aa were all the
progressives.
The Socialists have lona- advocated
eniial sufTratre and In the constitutional
.lection campaign they argued hard
for It. Both sides claim credit for the
victory. Both sides ask woman'a
support, on the ground that each waa
Its first, most faithful and most power
ful friend. It Is a delicate question to
present to the new women voters.
WtMi Fear Seelalta.
Into this question comes a query
fmm half a doxen state East and. West
soon to pass upon equal suffrage con
stitutional amendment, aa to whether
woman's support of the Socialist pro
gramme would not defeat the suffrage
campaigns in these various states, so
the suffragists of Los Angeles and Cali
fornia are urging women to vote
against ttoclillsm. that the ballot may
be conferred on their sex In other
state.
In Its local scope the campaign In
volves questions of radicalism that are
also watched throughout the country.
Los Angeles ha been making greater
strides In the last ten yeara towards a
pure democracy by frequent changes
In Its freeholders'- charter, than per
haps any American city. It waa a
pioneer advocate In the recall, the Ini
tiative and referendum and the non
partisan election system. It has lone
been committed to municipal owner
ship of public utilities by gradual ab
sorption or by Immediate purchase, and
Ita great municipal project was bring
ing water from the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. In the neighborhood of
Mount Whitney. ISO miles, and for
which the city Is bonded to the extent
of $ J. 000.000. This and other works
are approaching completion. Its scheme
of municipal ownership and projects,
therefore. Is well advanced.
a-lallat riaaa Well Laid.
There Is no dispute aa to the attitude
of the Socialists In the labor union and
closed-shop situation. Harrlman and
his candidates promise Immediate re
peal of the antl-plcketlng ordinance.
They promise a crusade against depart
ment store, which they say underpay
their employe, especially the women.
They are prrarhlng a gospel of better
times, brotherly love and supremacy of
the unions. They are likewise preach
ing pure socialism on the street cor
ners at a score of meetings every
night, and once a week from four to six
tnousand persons part the auditorium
to hear their candidates.
They seem to have unlimited finan
cial eupport and have thousands of
canvassers working all over the city,
particularly among the women. Thla
campaign ha been In progress for
nearly a yesr. It Is a seemingly well
planned political roup, and to make It
more efrVctlve. the opposition to Alex
ander, which largely represents the so
tailed "liberal" element, has been en
rolled In the Harrlman ranks. Thus,
with the sincere Socialist estimated at
tiMin. with the labor union voters allied
wltn them estimated at $040. and the
liberal elements at $000. the Socialist
ticket was able to cast Z0.000 vote at
the primary election October $1.
At the same election the good gov
ernment organization was able to cast
but 1T.0OO for Mayor Alexander and his
ticket. A third candlriate. W. C.
Mushet. received $000. Of this a large
proportion Is Irreconcilable with the
Alexander administration, and another
part belong to the liberal element,
which will probably swing Into the
Harrlman organisation.

Anderson said, after the act was ac

Alfa Llndermuth, one of Anderson's
companions, corroborated the testimony
In the main.

"tar party" at the Clark mill. When
the arrangement were made there wera
present Everett Clark, the defendant
ijlmms and eight or ten other men. He
could not Identify the others, he said.
Of those who attended the tarring,
Undermuth said he recognized eight of
the ten men alnce arrested for connec

any of the three present defendants.
Ltndermuth eald he did not help tar
the girl. He remained behind the hedge

"Miss Chamberlain hollered. -Oh!
Oh!'" said the witness, when asked to
describe what be had witnessed.
The three men on trial for assault
are Sherrlll Clark, brother of E. O.
Clark, the miller, who pleaded guilty;
John Schmidt and A. N. Sims, farmers.
Anderson, who, with KlnJelsparger.
waa sentenced In a Justice Court short
ly after tha tarring to 0 day In Jail
for a part In It, was the first witness
called. He Is to be tried later on ap
peal. He said he had been "go-between"
between Rlcord and the Clark.
"Were you mixed up In thla affair?"
asked District Attorney McCanless.
"Yes."
"Tell about It."

"I went to Shady Bend with a load
of corn for Everett Clark. August 7."
said Anderson. "I sold It to the man
at tha mill, and one of them I don't

Sherrlll Clark or Mr. Slmms asked ma

" Tm game.' ne said. 'I'll take her.'
"Then I went back to Shady Bend
and told the Clarka that Rlcord would

buggy up. We were late In getting to
the place, and when the buggy ap

out of the buggy and hid. Then w

"Were ar.y of these defendants
there?"
"No. They and John Boos bad not

Miss Chamberlain, her hand up to
her face, listened quietly during the
afternoon aa Anderson, under crosa
amlnatlon by E. C MUUken. for the
defense, repeated hearsay talk related
to htm by the Clarka on the afternoon
before the tarring.
Anderson waa asked many pointed
questions aa to stories reflecting upon
Miss Chamberlain's character and al
leged to have been circulated about
town.
"No. J never beard of those things
until Just now." finally aald Anderson,
Anderson denied that County Attor
ney McCanless had Intimidated him Into
testifying.
Girl la Court Early.
As usual lines the work of selecting
a Jury began last week, the young
school teacher was at the courthouse
early. accompanied by her father,
mother and brother. She went walk
ing with friends yesterday, her first
appearance in public, save on Journeys
to and from the courthouse, since the
preliminaries of the trial began.
Mlsa Cnamberlln said upon her ar
rival at the courthouse today that aha
probably would reply late today to a
telegram sent her by A. W. Elliott, an
official of the Southern Rescue League,
of Atlanta. Ga.. offering to provide her
expert legal aid without expense to her
for obtaining the punishment of her
assailants. She said she was amply sat
isfied with the present work of the
prosecution.
It waa expected that Mlsa Cnamberlln
would today take the stand and tell
of experiences at the tar party, but
she waa not called. She probably will
be tomorrow.

In the selection of a Jury marker the

Court before Judge Allen today.
At the close of court, with 19 tales
men examined. 12 men passed for cause
were In the Jury box and the state and
the defense each had exercised one of
Its 15 peremptory challenges. The
prospect of securing a Jury by the time
for adjournment tomorrow was de
clared to bo good by both Bides.
Little took place today to vary the
monotnoua grind of examining tales
men. On only one point the question
of whether opposition to the death
penalty was ground for a challenge
for cause did counsel clash. On this,
early In the proceedings, the court
ruled In a qualified negative, but later
a challenge on thla ground waa allowed.

healthy hair If you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair of

examined today.
Questions put to talesmen by coun
sel for the state were taken to Indi
cate the prosecution's Intention to at
tempt to show that the killing of Pat
terson waa premeditated and delib
erate. Especial stress yas laid on the tales
men's willingness to send a woman to
the gallows If the evidence warranted.
"Do you believe that, under the law,
all persons are equal, male or female,
and would you be willing to Impose the
death penalty upon this, defendant, if
you find her guilty. asTeadlly as you
would upon a man?" asked Special
Prosecutor Benson of each talesman.
Question Is Significant.
"Do you believe In the law of self
defense, and do you believe a woman
entitled to its protection as well as a
man?" was one of the questions put to
talesmen by O. N. Hilton, attorney for
the defense. Significance was attached
to another of his questions:
."Should it appear that this defendant
believed herself at the time In danger
of death or great bodily Injury, even
If it later appeared that she was wrong,
could you bring in a verdict of acquittal
on the ground of self-defense?"
The name of Emll Strouss, million
aire cdothing manufacturer of Chicago,
waa brought Into the proceedings by
Special Prosecutor Benson, who includ
ed Strouss among those persons with
whom he asked talesmen If they were
acquainted.

and the serene, face, lighted by large

Not until she had taken a seat behind

back squared to the crowd, did the
spectators realize that the principal
figure In the story. Including a ro
mance with a Chicago millionaire, as
well aa the dark climax of murder, was
before them.
In the course of the trial, attorneys
for the defendant say there will be un
folded the story of a 16-year-old girl
whose beauty attracted the attention
of a Chicago millionaire, -who, declar
ing his Intention to wed her, sent her
to Paris to be educated.
