a State Citrus Fair.

The San Francisco Bulletin says j:

The San Francisco Bulletin says:
| There is in the hands of the Secretary CT
| the State Board of Trade memorial which
| is to be presented to the State Legislature
now in session at Sacramento, and the pass
| ing of which will be of interest to all con-
cefned in the raising of citrus fruits
| While the State Board of Trade does not
| desire to ask for single cent to be used by
| it, it is using all means within its power to
have the sum appropriated s.. OOO
granted to the State Board of Agricult-
1 ure.
| The memorial, in substance, is as follows:
1t states that California is advancing too
rapidly in the raising of citrus fruits to be
neglected, and the fact has become Sc
| widely known that an exhibition of the
products of the soil in that behalf would
be most advantageous to the State. Not
only to the people outside of It's lines who
are daily arriving, but it would be instruc-
| tive, in far-resching scope to the residents
alone of the State; and while the State
Board of Trade does not desire to
gain notoriety in petitioning for APP
| preparations to help that institution
along, still 1t is DESTROYS that the State
should make an exhibition of its products
To this end it memorialized the State Leg
| islature to grant to the State Board OF
Agriculture the sum of S., 600 to be used by
said Board in whatever manner it deemed
best, and the State Board of Trade viii
lend it whatever assistance may lie in its
power TO successfully carry out the work
| laid down.
The idea formulated is that State Fair o.
citrus fruits shall be held in the city o.
Sacramento as soon as possible after The
appropriation is granted, in Agricultural
Hall, as that is the most appropriate anG
available place to be had.

Young Mems Democratic League Of San Fran

F. /. vassault. who had been delegated by the
League to explain the measure 10 the commit

planned that there were three grave evils in cur
present election system-a defect in the noni-
mating machinery, an imperfect secrecy of the
ballot which encouraged the bribery of voters,
and frauds in counting. In regard to the third
evil. the only remedy was 6 cnange in the law
providing for the selection OF election officers,
to the end that more honest and efficient class
o6otficeIs might be selected. This rcnedy the
LeagEe had not considered, because there were
other parties working in tnis objection.

As to the second evil-the bribery of voters
Il WIS shown that bribery was encouraged by
any person voted in spite of the 100-foot law. A
voter could hold his ballot in plain view until

system weuld result in absolute secrecy of the
ballot. and prevent the bribee from proving that
he had delivered the goods If secrecy of

must be an improvement.

question witness said ''If Pigott had been
needy or fraudulent enough to attempt perjury
my action would have assisted him. but do
not admit that he was either. Pigotts inter

and, therefore, my mind was not easy until he
had signed sworn declaration"
