an independence and insisted upon recognition.
 This assertion of liberty supplied an- other element of interest to the con- vention and won its reward in the suc- cess of a nominee.
 The action of Alameda in withdraw ing from a contest in which it had cen- tered all it's hope of recognition. and upon which 1t lavished persistent effort. is one of the results of the convention that is now being most generally dis cussed. This attitude of Alameda's delegation had it's effect in the conven- ton to-day. For the sake of harmony, and with a belief that the strongest as- pifant should be given honor independ- ent of individual ambitions; many can didates withdrew and made the unity of Republicans throughout the State absolutely sure.
 This action on the part of various delegations that had favorite candi- dates to present explains the incidents of this mornings session of the conven- tion. Those men best fitted to lead the fight in November won the coveted places on the State ticket, and when the great convention at last stood ad- journed three hearty cheers were given and given again for the success of the party and it's nominees.

to the people of the State the names of candidates who are known for their fit ness, ability and probity.
 For the politicians Of the State the delegates believe that they have SUD- piled that other element of geographical representation which is often so neces- sary for success. Every great geo. graphical division of California, every great interest within the borders of the State is represented on the State ticket. This result is one of the most signifi- cant achievements of the convention which has just adjourned, and it illus trates with what care and judgment the delegates performed the duties intrusted to their care The Republican State ticket four years ago was noticeably defective in this regard.
 One of the not least important victo- ries of the convention was it's emphatic and unmistakable repudiation of Req ism The boss from Santa Clara was justly humiliated in being thoroughly discredited. His only nominee was de- feated by an overwhelming vote simply because his sponsor was Jim Rea. For the first time in many years the dele gation from San Francisco asserted

Convention were thus published by The Call before the dele~~ tes had cast a single ballot for single candidate.
 There has seldom been in the history of newspaper work on the Pacific Coast a triumph so complete. It illustrates the thoroughness of The Calls news paper service at Sacramento and ex- plains the natural advantages pos sessed by The Call over other news papers.
 The task that was so successfully ac- complished involved a thorough and very exhaustive poll of the general convention and of every district convention into which, on occasions, the general convention was segregated. To predict the results of the labors of nearly 500 men moved by complex con- ditions and representing vast interests required labor, patience and judgment. The Call accomplished the feat and won the greatest newspaper victory of the convention.
 In leaving the convention city the delegates expressed the conviction that they had performed double task They are convinced that they have submitted

Selections Excellent, but the Sec onding Speeches Were
 Too Long.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 25.-The only people here who are not glad the convention is over have wares to sell to the sojourner. The delegates themselves felt an imme- diate sense of relief and fitted home ward by the earliest train. The flag end of a convention in hot weather is not a time of gayety. There still re- nlained an imitation enough to furnish cheers to the winners and good will enough for the defeated to join in ex- tending congratulations.
 Heavy-eyed and listless the delegates were in their seats about half an hour later than the terms of adjournment called for and nominating speeches were soon in full blast. Not being a politi- clan, I am unable to appreciate the utility of the average nominating speech. A little spreading of eagle is justifiable when so important an office as that of Govsrnor is at stake, but beyond this would limit such speeches to thirty seconds and the seconding speech to one second. After candi- date has been formally projected into consideration. the delegates, having

known for weeks that he was in the field, and having had period of days in which to weigh his merits, the eulogies expended for his benefit repre- sent waste of wind and words, a trial to the patience, the promotion of precipitation. the production of profan- ity. Or to be specific they cause that tired feeling.
 There was only one speech yesterday worth the span of time it consumed. It was made by Van .Duser, whose San Francisco identity had been laid aside by virtue of a Siskiyou proxy, and he begged for his new home in the north the boon of recognition on the ticket. He was reminiscent, personal, jocular, voiceful. His range was from laughter to tears, and he covered the distance between at 2:40 clip.
 He was happy in the adaptation of terms. He held up map to show how the northern "reconcentradoes' were cut off by a "trocha" crossing the State at Sacramento. We'll done, but ineffective.
 Elwood Bruner made the only ad-- dress of the day for the convention which needs expurgation, and so well did the speaker enjoy his infractfon of rules ordinarily prevailing among gen. tlemen that he repeated it. Like most of the other speeches this one was sup piled with an anti-climax
 The closing hours were marked bv the utmost harmony. Sections which had fought and lost showed no sign of bitterness, but hastened to insist that the selection of the triumphant oppo- sition be made by exclamation

politicians in the State the situation was chaotic as far as any certainty of results was concsrned. From the Gov ernor to the least of district candidates men were making and unmaking con- binations that, to the untrained judg- ment, seemed to preclude the predic- tion of the nominees. In the face of these facts every newspaper, except The Call. shrank from the labor and re- sponsibility of even guessing the re-

Reached the Cape Verd Islands, 1000
Miles From Porto Rico, on Saturday.
MADRID, April 4.-The statement
cabled Friday night that the torpedo
flotilla of Spain has arrived at Porto
Rico was taken from newspaper
here. Investigation shows the an
nouncement to be erroneous. The
Spanish fiotilla has arrived at the
Cape Verd islands and it is said
will proceed after coaling.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The an
nouncement that the Spanish torpedo
fotilla was at the Cape Verd is
lands, off the west coast of Africa, in
stead of at Porto Rico, was received
with good deal of satisfaction at the
navy department, which was without
information of its own on the where
abouts of the fiotilla. The islands are
more than 1000 miles from Porto Rico
and it is the opinion of naval experts
that at the very best ten or twelve
days would be the least time within
which they could make the run across.

Its Use on Board Of War Vessels and on the

Field In Case OF War.
MILWAUKEE. Wis. April 4.-Lynde
Bradley, an expert electrician of this
city, has perfected plans for the use of
the X ray on board war vessels and on
the field. and in case of war will imme-
diately enlist in the govern
ment service. Mr.. Bradley says
that while it would be a simple
matter to bring the X ray into
use on war ship that considerable
difficulty would be attached to the in
PRODUCTION of the machine on the
field. A small engine, boiler and dyna.
mo would have to be mounted on
wheels for field use and the X-ray ma
chine mounted on a carriage. The ap-
paratus, however, will be much lighter
and more portable than may be imag-
ined and his field apparatus could be
furnished in week
II have been thinking of this matter
for months" said Mr.. Bradley Satur-
day, "but have waited for hostilities
to begin before taking any active
steps. The great help that the X Ray
would be to surgeons lies in the quick,
easy and painless method of locating a
bullet or splinter in mans body, a
fracture of a bone. or other serious in

honesty and shrewdness. The horse
