result of the fight for sheriff, but the
result was accomplished by "the
bunch" which was behind Lanterman
from start to finish.
In reality "the bunch" was out to
defeat Trout at all hazards and nomi-
nate Lanterman If possible.
The mahcine accepted the gage of
battle and the result was its defeat,
much to the elation of not few even
of the machine men, but who had re-
mained loyal to the boss.
Trades Are Effected
1.-THE bunch" considers that it gained
victory over the machine in the nomi-
ministrator, but it is a question
whether 1t really was a vic
tory and it is certain that the men be-
hind Bryson sacrificed Louis Schwaebe
in order to secure the nomination of
Bryson, while the machine made GER
tain the nomination of Dow for auditor
and also was promised the appointment
of w. H. Wickersham, the machine
candidate for public administrator, as
collector of the port of San Pedro. This
y
and the holder thereof might, If he is
so disposed, be of service to the rail-
road interests.
Wickersam withdrew before the bal
loting began yesterday morning but
he did not do so until he was given the
positive assurance of the federal ap-
pointment.
The trade was hard blow to
Schwaebe and 1t placed him in the
, down-and-out class, as the belief was
expressed by a member of "the bunch"
and presumably one of his close friends
that under the circumstances Schwaebe
could not now hope to receive a renomi-
nation for his present position.
Machine Takes All the Rest
Outside of the shrievalty and the
coronership the machine is believed to
have attained its objects, either by
quiet trades or by use of the lash.
1t secured the nomination of w. o.
Welch for tax collector, John H. Gish,
his only opponent. withdrawing most
willingly on the promise of a clerkship,
and some are unkind enough to de-
clare that such job was all that Gish
was after anyway.
II also secured all that II wanted in
the way of iudgeships and placed upon
the shelf Judge Waldo M. York. one
of the most venerable jurists in South
ern California.
AS TO the treasuership, the machine
consented to the nomination of John N.

The Gang Loses Bets


Taken altogether, Boss Parker is very
we'll pleased, and it would not be a
surprise to many if the slipping of the
cogs in the case of sheriff and coroner
was intentional.
Indications are that this is not. at all
probable and that the machine received
two hard jolts, as it is known for a
certainty that the gang behind the ma
chine is heavy loser in bets by the
defeat of White and the nomination
of Hammel.
Probably the sorest man in the county
is John Burr, the San Fernando can
didate for sheriff. Burr was led to
believe, and this belief was shared by
many others, that he was the machine
candidate, or at least that he was to
receive the nomination in event White
could not win.
In truth, however, the machine sim
ply had used Burr as stalking horse
to shield White in the latter's fight
against Hammel.
After the second ballot Burr with
drew under the impression that he had
been knitted by the Pasadena delega-
ton, and owing to the opposition of
Judge Mckinley, who, Burr says, has
not been friendly to him since the time
the latter was sheriff.
In an effort to save something out of
the wreck Burr tried to throw his vote
to White, although he admitted at the
time that it would do White no good.
Werdin, who was never in the race
and probably was used by the ma
chine in the same manner as Burr, also
tried to go to White, but their COM
bined strength proved unavailing
against the Hammel wave which swept
over the convention, and both Burr ana
Werdin, having served the purpose of
the machine, were laid to rest in the
same political grave.
HammeI Is Hobsonlzed
The nominations of Hammel and Lam
terman were spectacular in the eX-
treme.
In the case of Hammel the enthusl-
asm over the selection of Billy
reached a climax when the nominee,
responding to repeated calls for his ap-
pearance upon the platform, entered
one of the boxes from the rear on his
way to the front and was surrounded
by bevy of women, lifetime friends of
Hammel, so the latter afterward de-
clared, and two of the women threw
their arms about the neck of the hand
some nominee.
Then. while at least three thousand
people looked On and cheered, one of
the women planted kiss squarely on
the lips of the blushing Billy" He
being Honsonized. and the crowd GER
tainlY showed their hearty apprecln-
tion of being permitted to witness so
unusual scene.
Delegates Wake Up
up to date this convention has been
deaf and dumb" declared Hon. Dorsey
Patton. the self-winding mouthpiece Of
Ocean Park.
Dorsey previously had expressed re-
gret that the rules of the convention
had choked off a speech which he con-
templated delivering in his usual fo,-
easlc manner.
He had sat almost two days without
having an opportunity of opening his
head, and the restraint became un-
bearable Chairman Lee, who was at
tempting to read the result of the ball
lot, threatened to have the hall cleared
unless order was restored.
Patton could stand II no longer, and,
mounting a chair, he made a soulful
appeal for noise. He said that UP to

piece of muslin on which had been
painted the words "Hammel sure
This act started a demonstration that
caused the chairman to threaten to
clear the galleries and boxes of spec
tators. He ordered the sergeant at
arms, Abe Cohn. to preserve order or
forfeit his pay of $3.50 per day.
AS the noise continued the chairman
declared the office of sergeant at arms
vacant.
At that particular time Sergeant at
Arms Cohn was busily engaged in
ejecting from the floor of the hall a
lobbyist who was said to have been
considerably under the influence of
liquor.
When this fact was explained to Mr.
Lee the chairman revoked his order of
suspension, and -Ir. Cohn, who, in the
meantime had come to the front of the
hall prepared to defend himself, smil-
ingly returned to his duties. Thereafter
some ,semblance of order was main
tained.
First Ballot Announced
1t was well along in the afternoon
before the first ballot was announced.
In the meantime a majority of the
delegates had adjourned to the pier
and the various places where refresh
ments could be obtained, and much
wire-pulling was indulged in.

being a shining star in this great
country. In the other case, the
people are not homogeneous, the
area is too large and the coun-
tries not suited to become one.
The only reasonable view is that,
a desire to keep down Democrat
ic Representatives in the United
States Senate to the minimem,
was the only motive, for all the
territories are considered Demo
cratic. There is no sign of a
square deal or a fair deal, though
the President has so persistently
tried to impress the country that
he is not doing a jobbing bust
ness. He is said to be the power
behind this action and if so he
should cease to talk square deal
and admit that measly politics
yet guides the old Ship of State.
Since his power has been direct
ed toward pushing joint state
hood, he will doubtless bring his
influence to bear in having the
people of the territories accept.

ART NOTES.

One of the normal students says her
practice in drawing has opened large
and newer world to her. She feels she
sees things in broader, more soul
possessing way, her desire for paint
ing has haunted her all her life, and
now that she has an opportunity to
study, she is very earnest and enthusi-
astic about it. a.
How many children stand transfixed
before a painting, or gaze in awe at the
wonderful rainbow, or matchless sun
set, and yet the soul expression of that
boy is crushed. by being told how stern
and practical this life is, and how he
must grow up and make money; but
his advisors do not add the solemn fact
that at last he will die and leave the
money, and go to meet his Creator
with a starved, narrow soul. ~
This love of the beautiful is Gods
best gift to man. 1t is all that re-
mains of soul purity since the fall.
God surely meant everyone to exercise,
cultivate, and enjoy this love of the
beautiful, since he has made every
thing in nature beautiful and full Of
harmony.

INJURIES INFLICTED BY MULES.

E. O. Turner, a young man of Mason
City, who was terribly injured there
Sunday by being kicked an trampled
upon by team of mules, was brought
to Passavant hospital Wednesday,
where he was turned over to DR.. Black.
Both his lower limbs were fractured in
several places, and although he is in a
terrible condition, it is thought the
limbs can be saved.
/, Mr.. Turner has lived in Mason City
only a short time, having moved there
from Kentucky. He is a married man
and has family. Sunday he was in a
barn handling team of young mules,
when they in some way got him under
their feet, kicking and trampling upon
his PROSTATE form. He was found ly-
ing in such position that it was neces-
sary to remove a portion of the barn
wall in order to extricate him.
DR.. C. A. Stone, of Mason City, has
been attending the injured man, and
Wednesday brought him to this city,
where he was placed in Passavant hos
pital, and DR.. Black was called into
the case. The father of the yong man,
who is still a resident of Kentucky, &C.
companied him to this city.
The above is a clipping from an ILL.,,
paper and the injured party was form
erly from this county. His father, Mr.
j. M. Turner, is now with him and re.
ports that he is expected to be able tx
leave for home in six or eight weeks.

MISSION RALLY DAY.

The Sunbeam Band of the Gradyville
Baptist church had a grand day at
Gradyville last Sunday. The exercises
consisted of recitations, songs and
Scripture readings bearing on the Mis-
sion topic. The weather was good, the
house full and the occasion enjoyed by
all" The splendid success was due to
the interest and energy both Of the
young people who participated and of
the ladies who trained them. There
was marked absence of error through
the whole program. All acquitted them
selves well, from the smallest tot to
the largest. The exercises began ap-
propriately with the song '.Glory to
God the Father,'' followed by an ex-
cellent prayer by Mr.. w. M. Wilmore.
The members Of the Sunbeam Band be-
gan their part ofthe program in a gos-
pei way making their penny offering.
This. does not mean, however, that pen
MES are the only gospel species. The
music was much enjoyed, especially the
song 'sThe Master Calls for Reapers''
led and rendered by Mrs. ]. A. Diddle.
The general interest of the community
and the participation in the exercises
by members of other churches were
most heartily appreciated. Gradyville

WE'D, JAN. 81. 1906.

It is to be regretted that too
many politicians and too few real
patriotic citizens compose our
National Congress. The same
mistakes, however, are made in
the legislative bodies of the
States as we'll. Men of narrow,
contracted views, too often are
entrusted and accorded the hon
or of a representative. The
great principles that underlie.
support, build and maintain free
dom and the attendant blessings
Of prosperity and advancement,
can not yield their blessings in
the fullest form when hampered
by purely partisan views or
throttled by subservient tools of
party bosses. No assembly of
representatives should subordi-
nate the great principles of equal
ity and local rights, for the pur-
pose of playing politics. Our
country is not made to suit par
ties but the parties to administer
to the country. One of the most
glazing departures from the
Fair Deal" policy Of the Presi-
dent, is the joint statehood bill
that was rushed through Con-
gress. last Thursday, making a
State out. of New Mexico and Ar
izona, and Indian Terr., and, Ok
lahoma forming another. The
fact is that the union of those
territories will not affect any
other part Of our country and if
permitted to enter separately
would have the same effect, save
the addition in United States
Senators. Leaving out the polit-
ical view, there is no reason why
the demands and desires Of the
people of the territories should
not be heard. New Mexico and
Arizona combined, is. a vast
country, larger than Texas and
more than eight times the size of
Kentucky. The people of each
territory are opposed to a union
and various reasons have been
given, but in the face of all OPP
position Congress has tied them
together, bound hand and foot,
and there is no way to enter the
Union Of States except in this
manner. The consolidation of
Indian Terri, and Oklahoma has
not been so vigorously opposed
ny the people interested, yet the
sentiment of both favors and de-
mands separate statehood, but
owing to area, the products, the
close relation in other ways, their
union is not so hurtful to the
pride and ambition of those who
have blazed out the way for such
a high and honorable standing of
