When AMI took charge Of Folsom
he found huge pile Of buildings
standing in a rocky amphitheater close
TIC the American river. The prison
grounds covered 4S8 acres, mostly fill
ed with quarries OF the finest lime
stone.
It had been planned to build walls
around the prison, but Aull advised
against this. He argued, that wall
would be useless. as the sconvicts
would have to 80 outside to get to the
quarries. The prison was left as 1t
was built, but Aull took steps to keep
the conyicts from escaping. He built
ten towers at different points in the
prison grounds and In them placed
Calling guns. The guns swept every
part Of the grounds. and also quar-
ter OF a mile Of territory surrounding
the prison reservation.
The towers were built by convicts.
sAull placed double guards over diff
ferent bodies OF the prisoners while
they built the foundations of solid
stone and the superstructures OF wood
and iron. He made the .conyicts raise
the Calling guns to their platforms in
the little galleries Of the towers, and
every detail of the work of defense,
or rather offense, he let the prisoners
become acquainted with. Aull said
there was nothing to conceal. He
wanted the men to know that extraor-
binary precautions had been taken to
keep them under control, and he was
Interested in having the convicts car
~ the boxes Of ammunition from wag-
ons into the towers.
AULL'S CEMETERY.
3 Every prisoner that arrived In Fol-
som got little lecture by the warden.
aAull would meet the new arrived with
q hearty handshake and smile.
.sNow, my man." he would say,
there Is no bread and water here.
You will get good food and plenty of
It. And IL you don't try to run on and
are good-natured, you will get the best
Of. treatment. We are easy on the
boys here as long as they behave
themselves.
You see we nave no walls around
this prison, but you will also observe
those towers. The convlcts you will
mingle with In the quarries will tell
you what those are for"
AS he came near the end of his lee
ture Aull would signal with his hand
for the convict to follow him, and,
chatting continually, he would lead
him through the graveyard. In an
apparently casual way Aull would call
attention to the white boards stand
Ing in close order at the tops Of grass
covered graves. On nearly all Of them
the inscription was alike. except for
the names. The general form was:

One faction, headed by Howard Rose

mand for the referendum and confine the
party's appeal on this line to the initia-
tive. The convention decided to indorse
his plank providing for the initiative and
to use the phrase Initiative and referen-
dunn" elsewhere, thus satisfying both
sides. The platform Is as follows:
We indorse the Omaha platform of
1902.
I'VE favor the adoption of the initta-
tive and referendum in all elections Of
State and national character.
we demand that the right to elect,
both as to who shall be public officials
