Though Californians have, because of certain
conditions, been able to endure the i'll effects
of the demonstration of silver somewhat bet
ter than the people of most of the other States,

rehahilitated. They may be depended upon to
help in this good work, but in order to make
their aid effective organization is necessary.

The boulevard from San Jose to San Franc
should be constructed as quickly as possible
1t would be one of the best things that could be

the possibilities of this part of the State as
nothing else could. In very few years it
would be lined with the residences of the rich
people of the central part of the State, and
everybody who came to California would want

county railroads built by the people revived

could support TWEEN ty times the present popu-
lat1on with ease, but we must have a railroad
before the growth begins.-Halfmoon Bay Ad-

The great mass OF voters desire the restora-
ton of former prosperity, and they will not be
led into the ranks of sideshow party by such
politicians as Weaver, Stewart, Teller and Sib-

Some of the Democratic newspapers are call
