everywhere in Europe. and in America
beyond the limits of the United Statee,

Forced from the natural course of devel

At bottom American sentiment is a

Will Some One Explainp

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
Resolutions were passed by the Republic
ans at their recent state convention indors-
ting the actions of the three Republican con-
gressmen from California. One Of these
representatives voted in favor Of the
Southern Pacific refunding BILL one voted
against 1t, and one did not vote either way.
VIII some one please explain which one Of
these three the Republican state conven-
ton indorsed? 1t might be said, inasmuch
as Mr.. Barham voted in favor of Uncle
Coils and secured a denomination, and
that Mr.. Hilborn. who voted against Uncle
Coils, was not renominated, that the con-
vention really Endorsed the action of Bar
ham and incidentally the Southern Pacific.
