BRUTUS!
Hearst Fails to Control
California Delegates.
Wisconsin for Wall.

Santa Cruz Cal, May 16.-At the
opening today, of the California Dem
ocratic convention to choose delegates
r. Hearst failed to gain control of
the aSSemblage by a vote of 367 to-
345. The test was on the selection of
temporary chairman. Frank G.. Gould,
of San Francisco, formerly speaker of
the California assembly, leader of the
delegates who are opposed to Hearst,
as a candidate for president, was
elected chairman over former Lieu
tenant Governor j. r. Jeter, of Santa
Cruz. Hearst's candidate for the chair.
The complexion of the convention,
it is said will preclude the sending to
the national convention of delega-
ton instructed for Hearst. GOulds
election was brought about by the
vote of the San Francisco delegation.
Delegates opposed to Hearst are
willing to pass laudatory resolutions,
and will not even make hard fight
to select delegates known to be OPP
posed to the candidacy of Hearst, but
they will oppose the passage of the
unit rule Hearst adherents are not
willing to accept today's vote as
final test. They say that personality
entered into the contest to a great eX-
tent and many of those who voted
for Gould they say, are favorable to
instructing the delegation for Hearst.
Hearst partiSanS announce that they
will make no compromise but must
have an instructed, united delegation.
Milwaukee, Wis, May 16.-The
Democratic State convention will meet
here tomorrow for the purpose of
electing four delegates at large to the
national convention at st. Louis, also
to ratify the election of the delegates
named by the Congressional district
caucuseS. choose a national committee
man and name presidential electors.
From the returns of the caucuses
throughout the State Edward G. Wall,
of this city, candidate for the presi-
dental nomination, will undoubtedly
be endorsed by the convention over
William r. Hearst, the only other
candidate who has been seeking the
control of the State delegation.
Three for Hearst; Six for Parker.
jacksonville, Fla, May La the
recent primary two tickets for deli
gates to the National Democratic con-
yention were in the race. One was put
out by the Hearst clubs and the other
was i'm the interest of no particular
candidate. Returns show that three of
the Hearst men were elected and SIX
of the others The tenth delegate will
probably have to be chosen in the sec
ond primary The six antiHearst
delegates are uninstructed but ali have
expressed themselves as in favor of
the nomination of Judge Parker.

If you will attach $50 pounds to a
rope and attempt to pull II up from
one story to the next above you will
get some idea of the strength expend-
ed in going up stairs. for every time
you ascend to the second door you
must lift your body from one story to
the other. Ladies' dresses interfere
with their graceful and easy ascent OF
the stairs while the boys leap up two
stairs at a time. Most women have
not learned to ecOnOmiZe their
strength. | know Of many housewives
who go up and down stairs on the least
pretext whereas by thoughtful
planning they might save at least half
the number OF excursions up and down
stairs. Going down stairs IL not so
hard and yet it Is much harder work
than walking on a level door.
