CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS
INSTRUCT FOR HEARST
Vote Stood 3o5 for the Plutocratic
Journalist to $40 Against
Him.
PLATFORM is MODIFIED

SANTA CRUZ. Cal, May 17.-By ma
jority OF 10 votes the Democratic state con-
vention tonight instructed the delegation
to the national convention at st. Louis to
vote for Congressman w. r. Hearst for
President The vote stood: For instruc-
ton, 365: against, 3i6 The day was con-
sumed in attempting TO effect permanent
organization, drafting resolutions, oratory
and clearing the decks for vote. During
the forenoon and portion of the afternoon
the headquarters of the committee on plat
form and resolutions was the scene or the
contest. The forenoon was spent In reach-
ing a decision on the declaration or prln-
ciples There was some unexpected delay
the tariff plank. The plank presented
by the subcommittee to the main commit
tee was thought by some to SAVIOR too much
OF Republicanism, and substitutes were pro-
posed. The matter was finally settled by
referring the plank to the subcommittee,
which agreed upon a plank satisfactory
to the convention. The platform, as
adopted. says in part:
THE Democratic party pledges itself 70
a careful and fair revision of the existing
tariffs. We favor the reduction of all UNI
fair and excessive duties levied on articles
similar to those produced by trusts and IN
dustrial combinations and which permit
and encourage the creation or mOnOpolleS.
I'VE demand a strict and impartial en-
forcement of all existing antitrust laws
and the enactment of such additional acts
by federal and state governments as Will
prevent the formation of monopol1Stic COM
binations and trusts which control prices.
We believe that the federal government
must assert such control over excessive
combinations of capital that the evils OF
the trust system be eliminated without
more perfect organization of industry and
trade.

MIR. SPOONER'S COMMENT

MADISON. Wis, May 17.-Republican
leaders and delegates from all parts of
the State are arriving on every train for
the Republican state convention. which
opens at the University gymnasium at
noon tomorrow. The convention promises
to be one of the most exciting in the his
tory of the State. A state ticket and four
delegates at large to the national conven-
ton in Chicago will be named, also the
state presidential electors.
The preconvention campaign has been in
tensely exciting. and with this over ma
jority of the delegates to the convention
are claimed by the adherents of Governor
Robert NJ. Lafollette, as well as by the
anti-third-termers, who are supporting
Judge Emil Baensch, of Mantle county,
and former Congressman Samuel z. Cook.

Lafollette's campaign claim that out of a

have over 600. or a good majority over
the number necessary, $685. to control. The
anu-thfrd termers claimed to have elected
900 delegates. Several contested delegations

BOIL WEEVIL RAVAGES
MAKING COTTON OEARER
Ultimate Damage by the Insect
May Approximate $780,
100000 a Year.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Some significant
official predictions regarding the ravages
of the cotton boil weevil are made in a re-
port written by w. d. Hunter, who has
charge of the chronological part of the boil
weevil Agricultural Departments investi-
cation, in which half hundred experts are
now engaged. Mr.. Hunter says that con-
servative authorities agree that unless con-
tingences at present unexpected occur, the
pest soon will cause an increase in the price
of cotton throughout the world By living
within the fruit of the plant the weevil
is we'll protected from any poisonS that
might he applied; ii takes only fourteen
days for development from egg to adult
and the progeny of a single pair in a sea-
son may reach 100000 individuals; it
adapts itself to climatic conditions. and is
remarkably free from parasites and Ndis-
ease, all these facts combining to make eff
forts at control difficult. The report esti-
mates that the presence of the weevil prac-
tically doubles the area of land required
to produce n bale of cotton and that the
weevil caused the planters a loss of about

value of the normal cotton crop of the
country, Mr.. Hunter says the probable ulti-

ARKANSAS REPUBLICANS
HOLD TWO CONVENTIONS
Regulars and Insurgents Indorse
Roosevelt-Candidate for
Governor.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. May 17.-State con-
ventions were held in Little Rock to-day
by the regular Republicans of Arkansas
and by the faction of the party known as
the Insurgents" which broke away from
the regular organization two years ago.
Only one candidate for Governor and one
set of presidential electors were elected.
An understanding was reached which is ex-
pected to result in the reuniting Of the two
factions before the opening of the cam
paign. Gen. Powell Clayton. United States
ambassador TO Mexico. was a delegate in
the regular convention and was active in
the peace movements.
Harry III. Myers, of Little Rock. was
nominated for Governor without opposi-
tion and no nominations were made for
other state officers. The delegates TO the
national convention were instructed for
President Roosevelt. II. l.. Rammel. Sid
b. Redding and NJ. w Gibbs, of Little
were elected delegates at large TO the
national convention. Gibbs is n negro.

President Roosevelt and adopted resolu-
tons urging its members TO vote for the
electors selected by the regular Repub-
licanS.

"STAND-PATTERS" WILL
CONTROL CONVENTION
Hawkeye State Republicans Prob
ably Will Ignore the Iowa
Idea" To-Day.

DIES MONIES. Ia, May f7.-With the
stand-pat element of the Republican party
firmly in the saddle, the only problem
which arises before the Republican state
convention, which will meet in this city
tomorrow, is the nature of the platform
which will be adopted. This has been the
subject of anxious discussion among the
party leaders assembled in the city to-
day. 1t is certain that the platform will
contain a plank strongly indorsing the
protective principle. Just what the at
titude on reciprocity is is still debatable
question.
Particular interest is taken in the attitude
of the party at this time on account of
the fact that Iowa is the home of Governor
Cummins, the chief advocate of the Iowa
idea, and because the ''stand-patters' are
now in complete control of the State for
the first time in several years.
1t is generally conceded that Senators
Allison and Dolliver, Governor Cummins
and ]. w. Blythe will be named as dele
gates at large to the national convention.

affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick TO his skin

VOTES COUNTED.

Thursday evening, about sia
o'clock, Judge Brown ordered the
votes on the license question count
ed at once after receipt of the not
ice, the usual proclamation and re-
cord as should have been done, and
a report that it was done, made to
him. And. that the disbursements of
costs in the action be paid by Mr..
Trip and Clark.
Friday morning, Messers. Trip,
Mann and Clark met and counted
the votes as per the order.
The writ said nothing about the
legality of the vote, but the infer
ence is, that, as the legality of the
vote was quite exclusively argued
when the mandamus question was
submitted, the vote WAS legal.
Mr.. Trip says the matter is con-
Guided as far as he is concerned per-
sonally, and that his attitude was as
he saw it as one OF the judges of
election.
