limited States Supreme court, accom-
panied by his family, is on the way
here from California, where he has
been passing a summer vacation. A
member of the party was interview

ed that there was no question Out
that California will give a fair ma
iority to Mckinley. Many OF the
coast papers claim the state for Sill

marty came in contact, it was very

people had decided in favor of honest
money. The fact that gold is one of

the coast country alone is a strong
argument for its future continued
use.
