the big blue eyes of the girls and the
chappieS began to shiver. Then panic
struck them and they went over and
hid in the automobile.
(Which girls are you waiting for?"
asked an angel faced youth as he cud-
died close to- one Of his friends.
"The one with pink dots on her
stockings" answered the friend.
Suddenly Pink Dots appeared and
started away with her husband who
had been leaning against a lamp post.
The chappies certainly got a jolt when
they saw Pink Dots without a stage
make UP.
Then there was pause and the
sound of young voice singing the last
sweet notes of "Come back, my honey
boy, to me-"
But 1t Wasn't Edna
The chappies hurried to a position in
the shadows at the side of the chute.
Its Edna, 1 know her voice." said
one chappie as he edged closer.
Good evening, Edna, DEAR" he said
as he stepped to the entrance of the
chute.
Then he stopped and swore, for it
was a towsled headed boy with his
shoes kicked out and the remnants Of
a brown slouch hat clinging desper-
ately to his left ear.
The boy stopped singing and took in
the situation at glance. He sent
thick cloud of cigarette smoke in john
MES face and started away.
mo, boys, mother told me to be home
early this evening, so 1 cawn't accept
your kind hayitation to motor" called
the youngster in mock feminine voice
exquisite to hear and the boarders on
the heights above squealed their ap-
probation.
Beauty Is Cruel
Next came bunch of girls, and all
either met their fair young friends,
some by accident or some having
known them before.
Hello, dear" said a Johnny as he
clasped a girl by the arm
II don't know you," said the girl
Can I be mistaken?" said the youth.
"Now think. haven't you seen me be-
fore?"
Eyes, now remember" said the girl,
you?"
Sure" said the Johnnie.
"Well, how did you get away?" said
the girl. "The last time I say you you
were being driven down the slide to the
slaughter pen for hogs and you were
squealing fearfuly.'
Exit Johnnie.
Flndlly all lne cndppleS ldu met lHelr
various and several affinities, whether
they We're green country youths who
flirted after the bashful manner of the
alfalfa or sleek city lads.
Automobile IS Filled
Then the four girls necessary to make
the evening for the Johnnies in the
auto a lurid one appeared on the scene.
They talked loudly and were introduce
ed. Then one who thought that her
garter was not where it ought to be
proceeded to lift her dainty skirts and
adjust the garter, and every one looked,
almost overjoyed.
Finally with last toot the girls
packed into the automobile and the
machine rolled down toward a too we'll
known cafe.
The lights lickered fitfully In the
early morning breeze as though hum
gering for one last look at those dear
young faces of the lads who were real
lv bold and so bad that they We're
afraid of themselves.
Presently an old man hobbled up the
chute and put on his coat and hat He
climbed painfully up and turned out
the lights over the door and hobbled
away in the night.

three Republican governors elected in
California.
State Is Uncertain
This state has also been uncertain
and frequently very close In presi-
dental elections In the past "a years,
Cleveland carried the state once, Bryan
almost carried the state in 1896, the
result being so close that he received
one electoral vote. In 1880 Hancock
carried the state. In other president tial
years the Republican majorities varied
from a few hundred to 115,000 in the
last presidential campaign.
while the general impression is that
California Is Republican state, and
while the majority of elections are car
ried by Republicans, still the figures,
carefully analyzed for the past twenty
years would give good ground for the
belief that in state election at least,
there is always an excellent chance to
elect a Democratic governor, and oc-
casionally a Democratic legislature.
Conditions Favor Victory
Conditions are ripe for Democratic
victory in California this fall. A good
ticket, good platform, unity of ac-
tion among the Democrats which will
be aided by Republican apathy, and in
many cases disgust, should give this
state to the Democrats in November.
'Tn national affairs there is every
thing to encourage. the Democrats in
the belief that they will be victorious
in the next presidential election. The
alarming disclosures Of corruption in
high places, of graft IN official circles,
of corporatne greed and dishonesty,
of trust control of the dominant party,
of extravaganza in governmental adj
ministration, of Pecksniffian preten-
sions and vacillating performances;
these and many other conditions,
fraught with disaster to the dominant
party, presage victory to the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Names Bryan as Candidate
"The candidate will be Bryan. No one
questions that. From now on every
state convention which meets will in
dorse him; two years hence he will be
nominated by acclamation, and as
certainly elected by the vote of the
people.
1.-THE national platform will be Demo-
cratic to the COZ e and its timber will
be purely Jeffersonian, its policy will be
equal rights to all, special privileges to
none Its dominant declaration will be
against trust control of the govern
ment The Democratic party will not
depart from the time tried practice of
individualism, but if the wise men of
the party see that the nation cannot
control the great corporations, then
there will be a declaration in favor of
government ownership of railroads,
tlegraphs and express companies.
Money Question Not an Issue
"The money question will not be an
issue, because the marvellous discover
les of gold in the past ten years, prac-
tically doubling the circulating medium
of the country, has proven the Demo-
cratic doctrine of the quantitative
theory Of money. Based on this theory
is the declaration that as money in
creases in quantity. general prosperi-
ty increases and that the price level of

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALE.

PANAMA. June 24.-The closing of
the polls in Panama today was marked
by violent disorders Three men were
wounded in minor fights earlier In the
day, but late In the afternoon in order
to quell a serious disturbance the
police shot into a crowd of rioters,
wounding six men and killing one.
Senior Arias. Secretary of Foreign AZ
fairs, favored calling upon American
marines, but President Amador said
that such action would have a bad
political effect. The city is being pa
trolled by squads of police armed with
rifles and further trouble is expected
The police are the chief cause Of the
trouble, but the frenzied speeches made
by the Liberal party leaders are also
partly responsible. The interior is
quiet as far as can be learned. the
Liberals IN several provinces refrain
ing from voting.
Colon was entirely quiet. Governor
Magoon drove to all the voting booths
today and was enthusiastically cheered
by the members of both parties. The
Government was victorious In Panama

HAWAIIAN OFFICIALS
MAY HAVE HANGED
THE WRONG PERSONS
Doubt Of the Identity Of Koreans
Put to Death for
Murder.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

HONOLULU, June 24.-Doubt has
arisen whether recent death sentences
on Korean murderers have been exc
cuted upon the right persons. Five
men were convicted of numbering one
OF their countrymen and Acting Gov
ernor Atkinson issued their death war
rants. Later two of them received par
dons. their sentences being commuted
to fifteen years imprisonment at hard
labor for each.
The other three were hanged The
pictures of all the men had been pub
lished here. with their names, and these
pictures reached the plantation where
the crime had been committed. Now
comes A Horner, manager of the Ku-
kaiau Plantation Company to state that
three OF the pictured prisoners. two of
whom are supposed to be in prison for
fifteen years and one of whom is sup
posed to have been executed in Oahu
prison, are alive and kicking on the
Kukaiau plantation. Horner suggests
case of mistaken identity.
The situation Is certainly queer for
the men appearing in the picture are
the ones reported under arrest as the
murderers. Either the wrong men
were convicted or the wrong men were
hanged, or the wrong men had their
pictures taken. The men who were in
the picture and who are still alive are
naturally indignant at having been
pictured as murderers. 1t is believed
that the group was arranged by Chester
Doyle of the Attorney Generals de-
partment, who was instrumental in the
capture and conviction OF the murder
ers, and includes two of the convicted
men and several bystanders. One Ko-
rean looks pretty much like another.
