Politicians Made It Appear That

Out of Sympathy With Progressive
Measures.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 11 Gov
ernor Hiram . jonnaou, kuckukdiui
candidate for tile United States sen
.it.orBliip on the republican and pro
gressive tickets, issued a statement
today, charging that "a few petty
politicians acting in conjunction
with certain newspapers, so mis
used .Mr. Hughes and his visit to
Caliiornia, that, the injury tljey.did
ne were unable to undo."
To this Hie statement aw iilics the
Wilson plurality in tho slate.
Crocker is ltlained.
William II. Crocker, republican
national committeeman, and Francis
V. Keesling, former chairman of the
republican state central committee,
are named as having "iniule it ap
pear that Mr. Hughes was entirely
reactionary, and that he was neither
in accord with nor sympathetic with
California's progress mid achlfve
1'ient." Referring to his own large ma
pority compared with' Hughes' fail
ure to carry the state, the gov
ernor in his statement noted "the
fact that the slate of . Washington
elects Senator Poindexter by an
overwhelming majority and decisiv
ely goes for Wilson; that Kansas
overwhelmingly elected Capper, re
publican, governor and defeats Mr.
Hughes by a large majority; that
.Minnesota elects a republican gov

vote similar to ours on the presi

the fifth district, F.vcrs A. Hayes in

to the republican side.
Tlie names of the three members
appeared on tlie republie;in ami dem

ticket. The congressional record,
however, classes Nolan" as a progres
