ALVIN DIPPERToN's VIEWS.
Power of the Human Eye-A Gun Is
Necessary Thing.

They say if you meet bear or a
lion or a tiger or any other fierce wild
animal the thing to do is to look nm
square in the eye; that no beast, how
ever fierce, can withstand the steady,
concentrated gaze of the human eye.
have no doubt that this is true, but
under some circumstances this method
of Guelling the savage beast, simple as
it is. would necessarily be attended by
more or less inconvenience. Suppose,
for instance, that one were going
through a giraffe country. There OBJ
viously, it would be necessary for the
traveller to take along a stepladder in
order 10 bring himself up on a level
with the giraffes eye. If he should
meet, say, only one or two giraffes in
the course Of a day, this would not
be very serious inconvenience, but
if he were where giraffes were thick,
where Cne came along every few min
utes, why, then the labor of planting
the stepladder and running up to the
top of it to be ready to fix the giraffe's
eye when he came along would prove
to be no light matter.
And there are other drawbacks to
this method. For instance 1t is not al
ways possible TO catch the beasts eye
at all; there are lions and tigers and
other animals that wouldn't take the
risk of being cowed in this way; that
wouldn't look you in the eye at all;
that would just simply light on you
without any ceremony whatever.
So, considering this evasiveness on
the part of some animals and their pre-
cipitate ways, and the slulking habits
Of others. and taking into account the
great altitude of some animals, such
as the giraffe, necessitating the carry
ing, in their habitat, of a more or less
elaborate plant, l should recommend
the traveller in wild beast countries not
TO rely upon the eye alone, but to take
along good gum think I should my
self prefer a cannon--to be used in
cases where the animal evinced even
the slightest disposition to avoid sub
mitting itself to the great test

both ca the legislative and executive
sid.s.
The Record Union" which has ever
been alive to the best interests of the
community where Ii is published, has
advised the citizens to vote for the
whole Republican ticket 1t has thus
advised for all sufficient reasons, and
the chief of these is that for two ad-
ministrations the executive and the
legislative arms have been working at
cross purposes, and with such con-
tention and friction that neither has
been able to accomplish what might
have been attained in the way of COM
munity betterments.
The time has come, therefore, when
1t is absolutely necessary to harmonic
these now conflicting elements of mu-
nicipal administration, and, hence, the
change that is advised
The way to that end lies, obviously,
through Republican ascendency. 1t IS
the only party or organization in the
field that has clean, straight ticket
of nominees, responsible TO party. No
other ticket is original throughout. All
the opposition is made up of cuttings,
and IN some cases most of the candl-
dates named are filched from the Re-
publican ticket This is in itself con-
fession by the opposition that the Re-
publican party can be trusted.
For four years we have had mixed
commission administering city affairs
without that success that could have
have been attained if there had been
harmony. That is the long and the
short Of the whole matter.
Besides this important and overshad-
owing reason. there are others only a
shade less important. One is that man
agement in certain directions has been
in the hands of stiff-necked incompe-
tency and self-infiated Importance. 1t
has been impossible to correct this evil
because the Trustees and the Mayor
could not agree upon those who should
serve the city. In short, non-partisan-
ship, so-called, but not non-partisan-
ship in reality, has been tried and
proved a failure. We now want re-
sponsibility by party dominance and
consequent harmony that city improve
ments end b&tterments may be pushed
on.
The Republican party has proposed
to the PEOPLE competency, efficiency, in
telligence and energy for places of
trust 1t is for the people to say
whether they will try new broom.

THE RIGHT MAN.

The Republican candidate for City
Attorney is A. A. DeLigne. There is
no Office in the gift of the municipality
that demands a higher order Of ability
or firmer and higher character. IT is
in the province of the City Attorney to
say whether crime shall be juggled with
or vigorously punished; whether official
laziness or official energy shall prevail
in the criminal department of justice
1t is for him largely to see that the
and good order of the city preserved
Mr.. DeLigne is by bench and bar ap-
proved as Of fine legal mind, good read
ing, firm purpose and clean character
He has youth and ambition on his side,
ability, courage and sterling young
manhood. He stands head and should
ers in all essential qualifications above
his contestants, worthy young men
that they are. We will have a model
City Attorney In Mr.. DeLigne Prose
cutions will be vigorous, records will
go up straight, and the conduct of the
Police Court will be sustained in all dig
nifty and right performance by him. He
is splendid representative of Califor-
MIA yfgor and courage. Vote for this
representative clean handed, clean
minded. able man for this important Of
fee. The contest is between Mr.. De-
Ligne and Mr.. Renfro, and the former

disbslieve. 1t is not Mr.. Lands habit
Of life to misrepresent or mislead. If
the yarn is about any one of the Repub
lican nominees for Trusteeships. each
candidate will be found in his ward and
san be easily asked concerning the story
touching him. In short, no man need
be deceived to-day who really desires to
vote intelligently, and to know the
truth

The most active workers for the re-
