ticket at the session of the Democratic
State convention. The candidates OF the
city for Controller. State Printer and Clerk

represent the district Ii elected.
No other aspirants were presented and
Kelly was unanimously nominated,
Kelly thanked the convention for the
honor which he said it had conferred upon
him and promised that he would make a

But Max Peppers Excursion Did Not
Reach Mare Island.
When Max Pepper announced to the
Democratic convention that the local COM
mittee had arranged trip to Mare Island
every delegate looked for rousing time,
the remem brance of which he should carry
for many day. The memory will prob
ably remain, but 1t will be of melancholic
character. The much heralded excursion
TO Mare Island, for which the work of
nominating was to be cut short, turned out
to be picnic time for local politicians and
a delectabie beer drunk of the first order.
The steamer Ukiah was chartered for the
occasion, but the delegate who expected to
see Mare Island on that trip was a disap-
pointed man. The excursion proper started
at O'clock. When the delegates who did
go arrived at the pier they found the boat
already crowded. and among the crowd
were several Republican stalwarts, who
did not seem to feel out of place among
Democrats. Half-a-d0Zen ladies were
scattered about on the upper deck. On
the lower deck were sundry barrels of
beer and two lunch counters, around which
the faithful gathered in eager expectancy

The ticket as it stands complete is &C
cepted by the Democrats with only that
appreciation which the occasion demands.
But it gives delight TO the Republicans,
because they believe that it will be easy
to beat in November. Budd will undoubt-
eddy make a tremendous fight for the
chance of his life. He is full of Vigor and
he knows that he has big bargain On his
hands. His friends say that he likes the
Job and is in high spirits over his success.
He will stump the State with all the ardor
of the young, ambitious and fiattered can
didate. and the Democrats expect that his
tireless energy will do much to offset the
sentiment of the people against the party.

SELLS BROS. ENORMOUS UNITED
SHOWS COMING.

The title of the Sells Brothers
enormous enterprise is not an
empty name nor vain boast. Its
claim is Just as it is; truly "the Big
Show of the World" No only be-
cause of the unparalleled features
presented, its unequaled perform
ance in Is magnificent triple Cir
cuses and elevated stages, its all
overshadowing immensity, it's grand
geological exhibit including fifty
monster cage menagerie of rare
wild animals.
Remember this biggest of all
shows will be in Texarkana on Fri
day Oct. 18th.
While other so-called big circuses
hold fast to high prices with reduc-
ed attractions, Sells Brothers, the
millionaire magnates, have adopted
the exact opposite They do not
stint their stupendous performance
in the least, as they have success
fully managed and owned their
Enormous United Shows for the
past twenty-three years, and has
maintained a pre-eminence over all
and is acknowledged to be the "on-
ly big show of the world. " Since
adopting the low price of admission
to the mammoth aggregation they
have met the approval of the
amusement-loving public, as the
prices have been placed in reach of
all-fifty cents-and it is, without
a doubt the greatest cyclone that
has ever excited the circus world.
How so much can be exhibited for
the small price of admission is a
conundrum we shall not attempt to
answer. If Sells Brothers can
stand it the public and ourselves
will be glad to do so, and we'll all be

WE agree with the Vidette when
it says that 'low prices never make
