a CLOSE CONTEST

That the contest between the two
prominent candidates. whose names
were before the Democratic congress
sional convention at Ventura yesterday.
would be a close one was generally ex-
pected, but certainly no one could have
anticipat ted that at the end of six ballots
decision would not yet be arrived at
The temporary deadlock which sent the
delegates despairingly to bed at mid
night will no doubt be unraveled this
morning and a satisfactory settlement
made.
The keenness of the contest is con-
elusive evidence of the confidence of the
rival supporters in their men, and
whether George S. Patton or ex-senator
L. J. Rose is the victor. the vanquished
and his followers will be prompt in con-
firming the choice of the convention
with unanimous endorsement.
The Herald believes that either
George s. Patton or ex-senator L. ].
Rose would be an entirely satisfactory
and able representative of the Sixth
district in congress. The difficulty that
the delegates experienced yesterday
was to make a choice when both candi-
dates were so good, and may the best
man win.
Either Mr.. Patton or Mr. Rose, which
ever he be, will no doubt realize that he
has already come out of the only close
contest that will be his lot during the
campaign. Mr.. McLachlan, the crea-

AT THE THEATERS

LOS ANGELES THEATER-All So
clety was out last night to see Rose
Coghlan and Fred Warde in the dramati-
cation of Carmen" Theat GERS have
long been familiar with vsper Meri-
mee's 1eshly story but ~ & .enos natur-
ally were curious to g this melodrama
sans the rich lyrics and massive orches-
tration of Bizet. Carmen" the in
carnation of feminine passion, with her
fickleness, tossing mems hearts on the
tempestuous surges of love, revenge and
infamy is the story, old at time, having
its root stems in pages mora remote than
the Costa Romanum. Minnie Hauk,
Marie Rose and Zelie de Lussan have
given the operate stage finely drawn
mental and physical articulations OF
this character. and both Olga Neither
sole and Rose CoShlar are now delin-
eating her deviltry from purely dra-
matte point of view. Miss Colghan's
work was a surprise last night. Albeit.

tlest histrionic methods she gave a

ton, allied with physical and costu-

ploitation of la beaute du diable. There
were no lights i'll this SreWsome success

ant defense of the woman destroyed by
her environments, to which she gave
utterance in the garden of Lillas Pasta,
in that coiloquy with Mercedes, who rep
resents the high moral purpose in the
play.
The dramatic purpose Of this concep-
ton of Garner only swings into full
breadth of action in the second act. for
the first is somewhat stilted and inef-
fective. Miss Coghlan rose to conspic-
uous eminence in that alluring love
scene with Don Jose, with the weird
witchery of the mandolins tinkling to
the abrupt tempo of the seductive air
Al Manero in the background. 1t was
in this scene, too, that Mr.. Warde. as
Don Jose, met the requirements, and
between the two a most moving picture
of Strident passion, unbridled and I'm
restrained, was presented with a virle
energy. 1t was passion all the time, and
Carmen had all the seductive sensuous-
ness of Gree to the Wrapt senses of the
ancient Greek. Certainly Miss Cogh-
lan's work as Carmen will command pro-
found attention as a typical concentra-
ton of feminine passion, a great and
facile example Of portraiture in keeping
with high staes standards.

praise as the reVengeiul spouse. Mr.
Beach as Escamillo, bound by the re-
strictionS of the dramatiZa ton, had not
much to do, but did 1t well. Mr.. Sulli-
vans Garcia was likewise strong and
others of the cast. notably Miss DAILY as
Mercedes, sustained their roles most ex-
cellently. The stage settings, partIcu-
larly the garden scene, with the intro
duced and commendable dances, were

THE SOUND MONEY DEMO.
GRATIS

The Chicago Chronicle advances suf-
fciently weiehty reasons why sound
money Democrats should not vote for
Major Mckinley.
What. asks the Chronicle is this in
formation that sound money Demo-
Gratis get from Mr.. Hanna? 1t is, ac-
cording to Hannas Chicago organ,
that
The issue is honest money and a pro-
tectiVe tariff and when ] say q protec-
tive tariff I do not mean high pro-
tectve tariff by any means-a sufficient
reimbursement of duties to bring in the
government enough revenue to pay its
expenses and bring US back to the pros
perity Of 1852.
When did we ever have a higher pro-
tcctive tariff than the Mckinley tariff
of 1892?
Mckinley. continues the Chronicle,
has always stood for the highest of
high tariffs Years ago he said: Il do
not believe in q tariff for revenue with
incidental protection. l believe in a
tariff for protection with incidental rev.
enue." He has never expressed DIFF
ferent belief With him it has always
been. first. the protected classes, after
ward .he revenues and the masses.
topea MI. ildHiid AupppSc tHat any
sound money Democrat who also knows
enough of political economy TO be OPP
posed to the tariff mode of robbery can
look upon Mckinley save as the most
conspicuous representative Of the high
est of high tariff benefciaries? If So
he is most egregiously mistaken.
Does the Mckinley organ suppose
that Democrats who have any respect
for themselves. and the principles of
their party will vote for Mckinley and
so indorse all the barefaced Republican
lies about their party policy?

A rlisfit Candidate

Mckinley is distinctly a misfit candi-
date. The frantic efforts to make and
keep the tariff the issue of the cam
paign died two months ago, and wheth
er they will or no the Republicans must
talk money The old line Republicans
like General Clarkson, were wiser than
the new managers of the G. o. p. when
they insisted that money and not tariff
was the one issue. 1t is possible that
the Republicans could have kept the
west and south friendly had they ad-
hered to Allison, who is recognized
as a scholar and an authority
whose voice would carry weight in an
international monetary conference. Nc
Kinley is very estimable high tariff
clerk. AS candidate for the presi
doncy, however he is a decided misfit.-

heart the effete delusion that some time
and somehow in the eventful future his
party Will cut loose from the desperate
domination of the worlds thoroughly
organized money power, whose principal
centers of financial empire are in Lon
don, Berlin and New York. Let him no
longer LAY that flattering JUNCTION to
his soul" His party Is in the chains OF
a soulless captor. which, he will find, to
his sorrow, bears no flag of truce and
does not contemplate any capitulation.
Its mentors and managers took a con-
tract in 1S73-a contract they have sworn
on the blood-stained affairs of Mammon
to carry to a finish That contract is the
enslavement of the masses of the world
to the classes. or the poor to the supreme
domino ton of the wealthy. So far they
have succeeded beyond their most SAN
guine expectation. and that success has
imbued them with the highwayman's
courage and the impudence of the rob-
Der: hence, they say to such Republi
cans as Mr.. Woicott, Get out, you silver
clog; your room is more acceptable than
your presence"
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Wolcott. and
all other good men similarly hating
between duty to God and country and
servility to party, will make an early
pause and discern the signs of the
times" T. Fl. WELLS.

They are Silent A bout Him Now

One of the most unkind and perplex-
fng things yet perpetrated on the poor
old Republican party is the announce
ment of Herr Most, the notorious anar-
chist of New York. that he will support
the gold standard ticket In a recent
interview he denounces the "siver
lunatics" with the same gusto and much
more fervidly than ever Mark Hanna or
Chauncey Depew. This is decidedly
funny after the epithets INDUCED in by
the leading Republican papers in regard
to the Chicago convention are noted

RULES OF THE o A
To Turn to the Right "a a Legal Ena,
mRnt-

To Turn to the Right Is n Legal Enact
ment.
1t is q long established custom in
this country that vehicles meeting On
any street Or highway shall urn to the
right. Some suppose that this is only
the unwritten law of the road, but as
a matter of fact it is on the statute
books. A Special settion defines tina,
carriages, wagons, carts, sleighs, bicy-
Giles, tricycle-t6d all other vehicles are
included. z person driving is properly
required to have the left wheel of his
vehicle at the right Of the center of
the street. In a word, the statute is
an authoritative adoption of Uncle
David Gray's motto Of "Fair play and
half the road" While bicycles are In
cluded as enjoying this privilege, and
horsemen are required to extend to
them the same courtesy they would an
other vehicle drawn by horses, the
s6me restriction Is put upon wheelhen
and wheelwomen. They, too, must
turn to the right, and if they fail to do
so and a collision occurs, they have no
one but themselves to hold legally re-
sponsible. a good-natured observance
OF the law OH the part OF all concerned
will result in absolute safety and free
dom from accident. While some
drivers are perhaps unmirdful of this
rule, it is equally true that some cy-
clists are either ignorant of it or do
not see fit to live up to it's require
ments. They take their own chances
when they pass an approaching horse
on the left. 1t should also be remen,-
bered that whenever a horse or wheel
man gives half the road, that is all that
is required, and that neither can legal
1y be asked to give the whole of it.
Highways were originally made for
vehicles drawn by horses, but the in
PRODUCTION of the bicycle and it's adop-
ton into general use afford it the same
facilities, rights and privileges of other
vehicles on the roads. The greatest
danger is from inexperienced riders,
whose nerves are somewhat ratified in
the presence of approaching vehicles.
Constant care is necessary, andif exer-
cised mishaps can be easily avoided.--
