Excerpt from An Appeal to the People: The Southern Pacific Company and Their Corrupt Judges of the Supreme Court of California; The Destruction of Individual Citizens by the Southern Pacific Company, by Means of Corrupt Judges as Their Agents

But, after the lapse of only a few months, a careful and complete suppression of the facts of this particular case by all the newspapers was established. By what means such suppression was established, the reader may judge for himself, upon the facts here laid before him. Ever since it was established, the public have had no other information of the case than what I could publish at my own expense. Such a publication was made by me in 1896 in a small circular entitled an Appeal to the People, which was spread abroad in San Francisco for about three weeks just before the general election held in November, 1896, offering mv self as an independent candidate for Judge of the Superior Court. Even with such inadequate means of reaching the people, there was in San Francisco such public opinion about the case that I was given at that election, according to the official returns, votes.

Another such publication was made by me in March, 1897, in a memorial to the Legislature entitled The Corrupt Judges of the Supreme Court of the State of California, of which some hundreds of copies were distributed. Another such publication was made by me in 1898 in another small circular entitled an Ap peal to the People, again offering myself to the electors of San Francisco as an independent candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, with the result stated below.
