Gain in San Diego.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. There is a
large increase in the registration in
both city and county over 1900 and
1902. The total registration in this
city is 494S, an increase of 694 over
two years ago. In the county outside
the city there are 1897 registrations,

The decline Of 700 in the registration
Of Solano County is a topic that causes
a deal Of comment in political camps.
Lieutenant Governor Alden Anderson
Of Suisun says that the falling off is
due to the diminished number Of men
employed on the farms and orchards of
the county. In one orchard near Sui
sun, where 100 men were at work in
September, 1902, less than a dozen were
employed in September Of this year.
The shortage of the registration in
Shasta County is likewise accounted
for. Political conditions have nothing
to do with the fluctuation.
In the city Of Vallejo there is an in
crease in the number of registered
voters. The falling off is restricted to
the agricultural sections of the county.
The Republicans are not elated over
the decline in Solano, and the Demo-
Gratis are not pleased over the slump in
Shasta The returns from the entire
State foreshadow substantial gains for
the Republican party. -

are addressing vast audiences of VOt-

First is beyond doubt.
Duncan E. McKinlay, an ideal cam
paigner and a Republican leader of re-
nOwn. is winning legions of supporters
in the Second District. The Santa Rosa
Republican comments as follows on the
situation in the SeconG:
Recognizing the great strength and
splendid ability of Duncan Z. McKin-
lay, Thomas ]. Geary is neglecting the
State campaign and is putting in his
best lcks against the Santa Rosan who
has been named as the Republican
nominee for Congress. For several
weeks he has been doing duty as the
-McKinlay editor of the Press
Democrat, but he is accomplishing very
little, if anything. At heart he is prob
ably for McKinlay, but outwardly he
must pose as a Bell man during the
present political campaign. There is no
telling how he Will vote on election

road in the United States He was
soon advanced to the position Of con-
ductor and was then the only railroad
conductor il the country. An anus
ing story illustrative Of the grip of ear
ly associations on a retentive nature
used to be told Of him In Washington.
1t is said that we'll toward morning of
a wearisome all night session of the
senate Senator Davis was asleep, his
head resting upon his desk. Senator
Edmunds had provoked Judge Thur
man to speech, and by Introduction
the judge unfurled his red bandanna
and blew a blast Of more than usual
power. Mr.. Davis may have been
dreaming Of his old railroad days. At
any rate, he sprang to his feet in a
half dazed condition and, catching
sight Of the red flag-the old signal Of
danger-and seeming to imagine that
he had heard shrek Of alarm from
the open throttle Of locomotive call
ing for "Down brakes!" seized his
desk and with the brakeman's quick
twist wrenched it from the floor.
1t was while serving as a conductor
that Mr.. Davis met and formed the
acquaintance of Henry Clay, who was
passenger upon Mr.. Davis train
while going from his Kentucky home
to the capital and returning. Clay
would board the train in Baltimore and
leave it at its western terminus and
make the journey over the mountains
into Kentucky in the old fashioned
stagecoach. Mr.. Davis got his first

There is well founded and serious
objection to the proposition involved in
the biennial elections amendment to
bunch all elections ogether-electing
al national, state, county and township
officers at one time. The inevitable re-
suit would be to encourage the forma-
ton of combines" among Office holders
for the purpose of continuing them
selves in Office, put premium on ineffic-
iency and open the way for defalcations
and corruption of the public service.
In cases where the people succeeded in
breaking up the official rings, organized
for self interest and the purpose of pub
lie plumber, they would entail upon
themselves the disadvantages of having
to entrust the transaction of all their
public business to men unacquainted
with it's details, with no one in associ-
ated and corrective Offices to advise
them as to their duties or correct their
mistakes. Thus the public interests
would suffer in either event. All con-
siderations of the educative value of
frequent elections aside, it would be
bad policy to have the terms of all pub
lie officials expire at the same time

Virginia house of delegates. He was
a delegate from West Virginia to the
Democratic national conventions Of
1863 and 1872, while tn 1867 he was
elected to the legislature Of his state,
as Union Democrat, being reelected
two years later. In 1871 he was made
United States senator to succeed w. T.
Wiley, Republican, he being the first
Democratic member Of that body from
the then young state of West Virginia.
At the expiration of his term he was
reelected. After serving twelve years
In the senate he declined further DO
lttical honOrs, preferring to devote his
entire time to his rapidly increasing
business affairs
Early in his public career he assumed
an unequivocal position on financial
questions, from which he has never de-
parted. Almost at the beginning Of
his legislative service he was confront
ed with the issue of the responsibility
Of West Virginia for a portion Of the
debt of the Old Dominion. Despite the
advice Of friends who considered mo-
mentary popularity rather than Justice,
he took bold stand in favor of his
states meeting her just proportion Of
the debt of the mother state, when that
equitable proportion could be ascer-
tanned. By reason of his determination
he made profound impression upon
all his associates.
Until recently Mr. Davis was presl
dent Of the West Virginia, Central and
Ptttsburg railroad, which he projected
and also of the Piedmont and Cumber-
land railroad. He was one of the dele
gates to the pan-American congress
and was member Of the United States
intercontinental railway commission.
Today he is known as one of West Vir-t
ginia's "Big Four" and had the boom
of Senator German materialized he was
to have managed it.
In 1853 he married Miss Kate A.
Bantz, a daughter Of Judge Gideon
Bantz Of Frederick, Mo. He has two
SONS, John T. Davis and Henry G. d.
Wis, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs. Ste
phen B. Elkins, Mrs. R. M. G. Brown,
wife Of Lieutenant Commander Brown.
U. 8. NJ, and Mrs. Arthur Lee. Mr..
Davis wife died two years ago. He
has a beautiful villa at Deer Park, Nd,
where he passes the summer months,
but his home as voter is at Elkins,
w. Va, where his residence adjoins
that Of United States Senator Stephen
B. Elkins, his son-in-law. The people
of Elkins are very fond Of ex-senator
Davis, who has done very much for
that town. He built the Davis Memo
rial hospital at cost Of nearly $780,
600 In memory Of his son, who was
drowned while cruising on the African
coast. With Senator Elkins he has
founded the Davis and Elkins college,
a Presbyterian Institution at Elkins
that soon will be dedicated. He was
also instrumental in the erection Of the
Davis Memorial Presbyterian church
at Elkins.

and Davis perceived that that section
was one Of immense industrial prom
ise. The firm of Davis & Eros. en-
gagged in the shipping Of coal and
lumber for the producers, and it's bust
ness grew rapidly.
In 1860 Henry G. Davis organized
the Piedmont Savings bank and be-
came its president This bank was sup
planted by the National Bank of Pied
mont, Of which Mr.. Davis is also the
guiding spirit. He and his brothers,
whose possessions were originally in
significant. have since been able to
count their capital by millions. while
their landed estate at one time approx
mated 100000 acres.
Before the war Mr.. Davis was a
Wing, while after its close he allied
himself with the conservative wing of
the Democratic party.

u II nominee, is man with more
than an ordinary business and
political career. In West Virginia and
nearby states he long has been regard
ed as financial giant, and his politi-
cal life has been characterized by con-

His nomination at st. Louis confers
upon him the peculiar distinction of
being the oldest candidate ever select
ed for the office, Mr.. Davis having
been born In Woodstock. Nd, on Nov.
16, 1923. His father was Caleb Da-
Wis, successful Baltimore merchant,
who died few years after the sons
birth, and his mother was Miss Lou
Use Brown, whose sister was the moth
er Of Senator German Of Maryland.
Like Judge Parker, Mr.. Davis spent
his early days on farm. He received
his education in village school and
at the age of twenty entered the en-
ploy Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road as brakeman. This was the
first railroad built in America. and Mr..

The suggestion to lengthen the presi-
dental term to six years and provide
against reelection in order to insure in
dependent action on the part of the ex-
ecutive, thinks the Boston Herald,
Qnd.) is not feasible one: "In such
case the probabilities are that as the
president could not work to secure his
own election he would make the selec-
ton of an heir to administrative power,
and would try to arrange for the cleo
tion of his favorite. The manner in
which the intentions of the drafters of
our constitution have been set aside, so
that the electoral college is now per-
functory gathering, shows that human
nature will find the means of overriding
or setting aside purely legal limita
tions."

Later he became station agent at
Piedmont Having served with the

he turned his attention to commercial
pursuits and established the firm Of

OF course, it goes without saying that
II the democrats win the presidency,
they will also win the house, because no
president was ever elected who did not
carry the house with him. Specifically,
the democrats are counting upon gains
in the next house in Wisconsin, Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West yir-
ginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and possibly Connecticut
and Rhode Island. In the west, they
will probably elect their congressman
or majority of them in Colorado-also
their representatives in Montana and
ldaho-p possibly Wyoming and possibly
make gains in California. There is a
possibility of the house going demo-
cratic with republican victory for
president. But it is not probable, mas
much as all precedentis against it. The
republicans admit this quietly. They
also admit that the chances of Judge
Parker's election are growing greater
every day. There is really no doubt of
Judge Parker's election, if the demo-
Gratis of this country, who believe in
democratic principles instead of trust
domination and the reign of an aristoc-
lsacy, will stand shoulder to shoulder for
The democratic ticket. This, the lead
ers OF the party believe will happen and
they are far more encouraged than since
