NEW YORKS GREAT EVENT

One of the most remarkable public
demonstrations ever witnessed in the
United States will occur tomorrow in
New York city. 1t will be an ovation
to William ]. Bryan on the occasion
of his home coming after journey
around the world.
The event will be, nominally, a re-
ception and banquet rendered to the
distinguished statesman by a nation
al organization of commercial men
1t will be, in fact, however, an en-
thusiastic welcome and greeting by
millions of admiring Americans
through the thousands who will have
the good fortune to participate in per-
son.
The original purpose of banquet
rendered to Mr.. Bryan by the Com
mercial Travellers association was lit
orally swamped, weeks ago, by the
spontaneous demand for an ovation
national In scope and significance. AS
evidence of its present character dis
patch from New York states that
Democratic governors from twelve
states and mayors from a score of cit
les, each accompanied by delegations
ranging from 100 to 500 persons, have
notified the committee that they will
be on hand"
Therefore, Wilde the nucleus of the
ovation will be commercial i'm char
acter, the mass of it will be great
demonstration by the national Demo-
cratic party in honor of the national
Democratic leader par excellence.
And the significance of it all will be
plain as a pikestaff." 1t will mean
that the Democratic party of the whole
country with one accord, demands the
nomination of William Jennings Bryan
as the party's candidate for president
I'm 1908.
Only one hiss is heard in the political
grass at New York where preparations
are in progress for the Bryan ovation.
That hiss comes, as might be expected,
yellow journalism and who has the gall
to aspire to the presidency of the
United States. Hearst does not dare
to attack the proposed ovation openly,
hut he splits venom at it in the sinister
fashion Of the genus to which he be-
longs.
Mr.. Bryan's address at the New
York banquet win be, practically, the
first blast Of the Democratic bugle for
the presidential contest. AS he viii
have finished his world voyage only a
few hours prior to the time for the
banquet he probably will defer any
broad outlining Of his ideas on current
political affairs until later occasion.
It is expected that he will deliver two
or three formal speeches, soon after
the event in New York city. in which
he will amplify his views and blaze the
Democratic way for the coming presi-
dental campaign

MACHINE FOR GnLETr

Herrin has turned down his thumbs
and it's all over with Pardee.
This Is the Information received In
Los Angeles, accompanied by orders
from headquarters to the machine
made Republican delegation to get Its
tickets ready for Congressman Gillett.
Up to the last few days the contest
for governor was nip and tuck be-
tween Gillett and Pardee. In fact, Par
dee had twice as many pledged votes
as has the congressman, and the gov
ernor was coming down the pike at
2.40 gait" when a sudden call from
the boss summoned the deputy bosses
to San Francisco. Then and there the
Republican nominee for governor was
agreed upon and it Is reported his
name is Gillett.
Even if It be true that Congressman
Gillett ls an abler and worthler man
than Pardee the objection to him is
forever present-that he will be named
and afterwards owned and controlled
by the Republican machine. Hence.
if elected, he will be governor, not OF
the great state of California and it's
wonderful people, but governor for the
machine and the Southern Pacific rail-
road.
Some months ago the citrus fruit
growers of Southern California formed
an alliance for the purpose of protest.
ing against the continuous unfair treat
ment accorded them by the railroads.
Most of those fruit growers are honest
Republicans-the patriotic sort who
have been in the habit of voting the
machine Republican ticket under the
miserable deception that they were
voting with the grand old party of
Lincoln and Grant" Have they not
learned that the alleged state Re-
publican convention at Santa Cruz will
be merely Southern Pacific railroad
convention? Do they not know that
this convention will only nominate for
state offices those persons who have
been labeled by Boss Herrin, Abe Ruef
and Walter Parker?
What can the people of Southern
California hope for from such a tic ket Z?
with Judges plaCeu OH lHe DeHcH Dy
the Southern Pacific, and railroad
commissioners selected by the Southern
Pacific, and the governor picked out
and collared by the Southern Pacific,
who will be in power in California :?
The Republican party? Not much
The people? Far from it.
The Southern Pacific says Gillett-
candidate who has never secured
more than one-half as many votes
as some other candidates, and yet
who has not campaigned the ate
but who retired from active effort
weeks ago and went down to Santa
Cruz to wait in calmness and idleness
nomination that will be brought to
him by Boss Herrin, Abe Ruef, Walter
Parker and the southern Pacific rail-
road.
Grand old party of Lincoln and
Grant" forsooth! Both of those
honest gentlemen, were they alive to-
day, would spurn the base California
substitute for the party which they
honored and which honored them.

MENDINe FENCES

The statesman new
Doth cry, Gee haw!"
And raise a row
Der corn and straw
And gravely say
Its very plain
Some time today
It's going to rain"
He loafeth round
The corner store.
His words profound
Are heard once more.
With gentle glee
He vows anew
"Tis good to be
Back here with you"
Beneath this guise
or rustic glee
They who are wise
Can plainly see
How oft he thinks
With dire chagrin
or gaseous drinks
And terrapin.
