San Francisco, CAL, March 21.--
The meeting of the California Demo
cratic State Central committee yester-
day was one of more than ordinary
Importance and the action Of that
committee. in unanimously endorsing
William Randolph Hearst q native
born Californian, for the presidency
has attracted attention throughout
the country. It conveys to the country
the message Of California democracy
that she is glad Of the chance of rang
ing herself behind the banners of one
whom she believes can carry the
party on to victory at the election
this fall. The state convention
meets at Santa Cruz, May /. The
committeeman had made up their
minds that William Randolph
Hearst was the man they wanted
for the presidency, and from their
various districts they came to say SO
in the open meeting. The resolutions
endorsing Mr.. Hearst were adopted by
what was virtually unanimous vote,
the only opposing fsentiment being ex.
pressed by two men who held proxies
from absent members of the state
central committee, and no man
heard any objection when the vote
upon the resolutions was taken. The
declaration of Chairman Bernard Muir
ply that "The ayes have it," provok.
ed laughter. so overwhelming had
been the verdict.
The preamble was read and when
the sentence California was the
birth place, and for many years the
home of William Randolph Hearst, !"
was reached, the applause came spon.
taneously from all parts of the hall,
and continued long and loud. The
resolutions adopted are as follows:
Whereas, We are beginning a
campaign in which the great political
parties will once more contend for
national supremacy; and
Whereas. The democracy of Cali.
fornia faithful always Ito the simple,
but immortal principles of Jefferson,
is shocked at the attempts to under.

mine..and destroy these principles: and
Whereas, The republican organ
ization is the instrument chosen for
this work Of undermining and des.
truction; and
Whereas, The democracy Of the
nation demands as it's candidate for
president, man who is the embodi-
ment Of the intelligent opposition to
this attempt to substitute chicanery
for simple honesty and government by
class for government by the people
and
Whereas, California was the
birthplace, and for many years the
home Of William Randolph Hearst, q
brilliant democrat, now serving in
congress from New York, 8 democrat
distinguished as leader and think
er who recently has torn from the
criminal trusts the mask Of honest
business enterprise; and
Whereas, The Hon. William Ran
dolph Hearst has shown himself the
friend Of the plain people and the
forceful champion of true democra-
cy and is now a candidate for presi-
dent of the United States, subject to
the action Of the national democratic
convention to be held in st. Louis on
the 9Th day Of July, 1904; and
Whereas, The democratic central
committee of the state Of California
is of the opinion that W. r. Hearst
is the man to carry the democratic
banner to victory and that if elected
president he will restore to the nation
q government founded upon the prin-
ciples laid down by Jefferson and the
fathers. and conducted on a business
basis, now Therefore, Be it
Resolved, That we hereby en-
dorse the candidacy of Hon. William
Randolph Hearst for president Of the
United States, and we respectfully re-
quest the next democratic convention

A PROSPEROUS RANKIN BOY.

We take the following article from
the Oil Field News. published at Sour
Lake, Texas. The subject of the
article was raised near Brandon, and
is a son Of Mrs. N. J. Wynn:
Little did the parents of the SUBJ
jent of this sketch think when he left
his home in Mississippi in the year
1890 with small grip and $50 that he
would be worth as much as he is
known to be worth today.
Johnnie s. Wynn's mother would
not consent for him to take his trunk
when he left home, she and all those
who were interested in him remark
ing that he "will not be gone long
not longer than it takes him to spend
his cash capital"
The wish with the mother was
father to the thought, but until this
day he has not returned to his home
for the purpose Of remaining.
Mr.. Wynn went to Aurora, Ill. !,
where he entered the employ of the
American Well Works, being assigned
to an inside position with the Dallas
house. The company first sent him
to Terrell to drill an artesian we'll,
and his first attempt was decidedly
successful. This was in 1892, and the
we'll was drilled to depth Of 1900 feet.
From Terrell he was sent to Arling.
ton, where he drilled another deep ar,
tesian we'll; thence to Mckinney,
where he again proved his ability as
a driller. From Arlington Mr.. Wynn
was sent to Charleston, S. O. At
Charleston he encountered quick
sand, but finished the we'll successful.
ly.
From Charleston he went to Corsi-
cana, where he drilled 80 producing
oil wells. From Colsicana he went
to Beaumont, where he drilled 3S
wells on famous old Spindle Top, all
of which were producers. and II Of
the number were regulation gushers.
He carries the distinction of having
drilled the biggest gas well ever put
down on Spindle Top.
Mr.. Wynn drilled the first two
wells on the Shoe-string district at
Sour Lake, being wells Nos. / and 2
for the Sour Lake Oil Company.
During September, 1892, Mr.. Wynn
opened small machine and black
smithing shop in Sour Lake, and the
accompanying illustration which
affords cnly an exterior view, will
give the reader some understanding
of what measure Of success he has at
tained.

Simpson County News: Hon. VIM.
Buchanan, of Brandon, was in town
yesterday. Upon the solicitations Of
his friends he has consented to become
an applicant for the chancellorship in
the new eighth district. Mr.. Buoh-
anan is one of the ablest lawyers
that practices in the courts Of Simp-

daman gives him the appointment we
believe he will never have cause to
regret it. We need such men as Mr..
Buchanan on the bench.

Las Animas W Lamar.

There were lively times at Ami
ty and Holly last Saturday after
noon and evening. Meetings of
sugar beet growers were held at
Amity in the afternoon and at
Holly in the evening. and the au-
diences at both places were large
and everybody, including the ora
tors from up the valley, appeared
to get their moneys worth.
The promoters of the 1904 Las
Animas factory were pitted against
the promoters of the 1905 Lamar
factory in mouth to mouth con-
flict. The latter have sufficient
acreage subscribed in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Lamar and have a
contract with the:factory builders
for a factory in 1905 or later. They
did not ask the growers in this
part of the county to give them
their contracts, but were here
merely to protest against the
building of any more sugar fac
tories in the valley by any other
than the American Beet Sugar
company, whose special right, title
and interest in the beet industry
they felt called upon to protect.
The arguments of the contend
ing magnates waxed warm and
spicy and at times some personal
tiles were INDUCED in, each side
insisting upon giving spicy bio
graphical sketches of its opponents.
These bits of history showed that
none of the participants had ever
worked overtime trying to be
good. In this respect neither
side had any advantage over the
other.
Concerning the beet acreage,
however, the Las Animas people
undoubtedly won out, or will If
their prospective factory devel-
opes into the real thing. They
have won the confidence and good
will of nearly all the beet growers
of this section, and if they make
good their part of the deal they
will get the beets.
