In San Francisco Il is probable there will be a
mighty fight on the part of the Democrats to re-
cover the district now represented by Julius Kahn

by several thousand majority. but was lost two
years ago through the weakness OF the Democratic

ably have some time 10 give to the district this
fall, and is expected 10 see to Il that a strong
Democratic candidate is selected. The word has
gone out that Representative Barham, of Santa

upon as having chance 70 win. II Is not certain,
