STATE CAMPAIGN PROSPECTS

Not within dozen'years have Demo-
cratic prospects in California looked so
bright at the beginning of a campaign
as they appear at the present time.
The conditions now, on the Democratic
side, are quite similar, in fact, to those
which prevailed prior to the rupture
in 1896. In the two elections preceding
the one of that year the Democratic
party, firmly united, carried the state
of California for Cleveland in the presi-
Dental contest of 1892 and for Budd in
the gubernatorial contest of 1894
In order to carry the state in the
coming election it is only necessary
that the conditions be as favorable for
Democratic success as they were in
1892 and 1894. With those conditions
restored corresponding results may be
confidently expected.
A close inspection of the situation in
this state, as seen from both sides OF
the political fence leads to the con-
elusion that the contest is even
brighter now for the Democratic party
than it was in the two campaigns al
luded to. For this general reason: The
Democrats of California are not only
as firmly united now as they were in
1892 and 1894, but their opponents are
greatly weakened by internal friction
The Republican party in this state
never entered a gubernatorial cam.
paign in which the outlook was so du,
bious as it is now
For proof Of that conclusion note
these palpable facts: Governor Pardee
assured his denomination months age
by bending his neck to the yoke of the
Republican machine. Four years age
he was accepted as a dark horse
compromise when the Republican con
vention was in deadlock over fayorlt,
candidates. Nothing was known o
George c. Pardee previous TO the acct
dent which gave him the nomination
except that he was an ineonsplcuou
medical practitioner in Oakland II,

LAYS PLANS To

ANTONIO PAREDES COMES TO-
SECURE AID
Able Ministry Leader Intimates the
Time Is Ripe to Strike Telling
Blow-Wants Arms and
Ammunition

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-The Tribune
tomorrow will say
General Antonio Paredes, who has
earned a reputation in Venezuela as a
valiant and able ministry leader, has
just arrived I'm this city from Trinidad
to plan a revolution against President
Castro.
II came here solely on that mission"
said the general, "and / am sangune
of its success. | shall not return until
l have accomplished the purpose Of my
visit"
"The plans of General Paredes In
New York have not been widely adver-
tised as is the habit of South American
insurrectionists, as General Paredes
said.
"I am doing things and saying little.
"The man who hopes to overthrow
President Castro has large following
in Venezuela. He was military chief at
Puerto Cabello under President An
drade when Castro deposed the latter,
and he was the last of Andrades army
chiefs to capitulate to the president.
Il am here to obtain arms and ammu-
nition,' said General Paredes, land l
feel confident of getting them. 1t is a
long trip from Trinidad to New York.
and l would not come here unless the
prospects were favorable. And the
time. too, is favorable for this move
ment against Castro. The militarymen
in Venezuela are only waiting for those
outside the country to strike the first
blow"

STRONG POINT OF CIVIL CARS

One of the strongest points in favor
of owl cars, from the street railway
company's view, evidently has been
overlooked by the members of the
special committee of the city council
appointed to meet the company's rep
service would be granted without the
necessity of passing an ordinance max
ing such service compulsory.
This is the fact as developed in other
cities where the all-night service has
been inaugurated, that the day patron
age of street cars almost Immediately
increased to such an extent as to prac-
tically defray the entire operating ex-
rense of the late. service and leaving
the income from late cars almost a
clear gain.
This condition has been brought
about by the removal from the bust
ness center to the residence districts
and suburbs of the families of those
men whose occupations begin or end
during the small hours of the morning
and who live in rooms in the business
section by reason of the absence of
transportation at the hours when their
work is completed or about to begin,
With the assurance of an all-night
service scores if not hundreds of such
families buy or rent a little home, and
as a result the women and children,
who never from one Vear's end IN an
other contributed to the support of
the street railway service, become
patrons by day, while the husbands
and fathers ride to and from work on
the late cars.
AS a result of one condition. at least.
the operation of owl cars will work to
the advantage of the street railway
company, as well as to the large class
of night workers.

Pi-LineS and Pick-UDS
Everybody Wants It

Some people are yearning for love and
some long
To win the bright laurels of fame
There are people who covet the gift Of
sweet song.
And some knighty prowess would
claim;
But that which appeals to most people
today
And probably yearn for it, too
Is job that is steady, with mighty good
pay.
And where there is little to do.
Some people pretend to hold art as the
best
OF all the good things on this earth,
And others would think they were splen-
didly blest,
I With smaller expansions of girth;
Some people are eager they candidly say,
To moke the world better, but few
Ever cease to go yearning for jobs with
good pay
And where they'll have little to do.

Strong in stately tape and trif1es and In

Hearken to the shrek of fallen, listen
to the deadly strife!
Why grow pale. thou bloodless mon

Workman Attaches Provision

The condition that Mr.. Workman
will attach to his gift is that the nine
acre tract refused by the commission
Thursday morning be accepted with
his property.
1t is with the utmost surprise that
those who have offered this land to the
park commission have learned that it
is so hard TO give away valuable land,
with scarcely any conditions. All that
has been asked of the park commits
sion, and all that will be demanded at
it's next meeting when Mr.. Workman
adds his land to that already offered,
is that the park department beautify
the ground when it has the money.
When II Has the Money
There has been no demand that the
money be expended this year, and it is
not even asked that it be provided for
next year, although the quicker the
park can be improved the better it will
be for the city.
Real estate men believe that this
land will enhance in value to a great
extent within the next few years and
that by accepting it as a gift and inn
proving it when there is money enough
for the purpose, the park commission
will be adding greatly to the city's
valuable real estate holdings.
