til the cows came home. GOV. liidwel. the
late prohibition candidate for governor of
California, upon becoming several years
ago an out and out prohibtiani~t, up
rooted II valuable vineyard rather than to
have its yield turned into the wine cups of
the ungodly. Unlike this gentleman. Mr.

smile and IA beautiful blue silken banner
anchored to the left Ella vcle aud gracefully
looped upw with safety pin at the corocoid
process. As the day grew on apace the

party that processes to vote las they pray =
did not show up to any great extent Only
one man had the moral backbone aud the
necessary courage Of his convictions step
up To the ballot-boN and drop "a vote ia
the slot for Corbley. Thus we see how mar
rowIy the prohibition candidate escaped
from scoring goose egg at this place. 1t
was after the polls were closed, the ballots
counted and the last man gone home that
kind heaven sent abroad throughout the
land n covcrlct uf hcautifll snew. Overall
it laid it's touch to purity. The Democrat
was covered as well ns the Republican the
just and the unjust, the prohihitionist aud
last but not least to need It, the campaien
liar Like the lion and the hrnb in the
fable, they lie down together and nothin.
short of an earthquake or the toot of the
last trump can ever start them again to
their feet with blood in their eyes, unlr-, it
is another election.
