prove dangerous. Miss Mary Hartman has
been her fathers nurse since his return
from his western trip. She was at the
Netherlands, in an adjoining room during
the operation. When the appendix was
removed 1t was found to be very much

DR.. Lyle, who was an attending physician
at the operation. said:
The operation on Mr.. Hartman was per-
formed by DR.. Bull. It was very successful.

RoosEvELTs RUNNING MATE.
Said That President Favors Pacific
Coast Candidate.

Among the American statesmen who win
visit Europe during the summer are Sem
ators Perkins and Bard Of California Sem
ator Bard will sail with his family on the
Cedric early in June. Senator Perkins VIII
follow soon, after a visit to Washington.
Both senators have written to friends
here giving enthusiastic accounts OF the
reception rendered to President Roosevelt
In California. Senator Bard was the Prest-
dents host in the southern part Of the
state. Senator Perkins entertained the
President at San Francisco and Oakland.
THE people Of California gave President
tor Perkins. Everywhere the people
turned out en- masse to do him honor The
streets everywhere were decorated, now
ers were strewn in his pathway. and even
adorned with bunting and topped with
flags. No President who has visited the
Pacific coast has received such hearty
welcome.
Theodore Roosevelt answers tOat the fuif-
est the California ideal, and his happy ref
erences TO the strenuous spirit Of the Old
pioneers. his wide grasp of the destiny or
California in fronting the Pacific, the future
theater of the worlds greatnesss and his
frank, almost boyish eagerneSS to meet the
people endeared him to every one. The
west welcomed its own. in its own fashion. ,
While at Los Angeles the attention of the
President was called to the boom that had
been started for Senator Bard for vice
President. He automatically avoided COM
hitting himself. of course. but at the same
time found means of expressing the high
regard he has for Senator Bard. The name
of Senator Perkins, too, has been suggested
in connection with the vice presidency, out
Mr.. Perkins declares that he Is not a can
didate for the place. He favors his col
league.
1t is pointed out in favor Of Senator Baro
that he Is popular in the west Is stancn
lifelong republican Of Independent fortune,
has never been mixed In political quarrels
and has the respect and friendship or every
member Of the United States Senate. sen
ator Bard Is Of Scotch-Irish ancestry, MS
family having been among the first settlers
of Chambersburg. Pa. He went to Call
fornia In youth, and carved out large
fortune in lands. mining, shipping and OIL
development.
Since he entered the Senate he has dis
played vigor and independence In his ham
ding Of public questions, notably IN the
statehood fight.
It is President Roosevelt's belief that the
vice presidential candidate should come
from the west, and preferably from the
Pacific coast He has said as much to init
mate friends.
But he has never made any allusion to
any particular person in connection with
the officer. His friendship with Senator
Rard, however, Is more than the Ordinary
political mountaineering. and In their In
tercourse they discovered they had many
ideas in common.
