WATER DELEGATES
DO NOT AGREE.
Californians on Way to
Boise Differ on Place
for the Next Congress
CLAIMS OF CITIES

ASHLAND, Ore, Aug. 31.-A heavy
landslide between Dunsmuir and Shas-
ia Springs, which had been holding UP
long delay of the special. whicn car
ried the California delegation to the
National Irrigation Congress at Boise.
Idaho.
The delegates got into a lively con-
troversy early this morning over the
efforts of Sacramento and Fresno to
secure the next session of the Irriga-
ton Congress. 1t was the general
feeling that the 1907 session should be
held in California. but, with the con-
tention of the two valley cities moth
ing definite has been arrived at.
w. A. Beard leads the fight for Sac
ramento, and Miles Lawrence is head
ing the San Joaquin people, who, are
making the fight for Fresno. No ac-
tion has been taken regarding the Or
ganization of. the delegation, as 1t is
thought best to settle the trouble be-
tween Fresno and Sacramento first. c..
E. Edwords OF the California Pro-
motion Committee Is suggesting w.
A. Beard for chairman of the delega-
ton, and the name is favorably re-
ceived. but the result will depend on
the outcome of the location trouble
Governor Pardee failed to meet the
delegation. He sent word that impor-
tant State butiness would prevent his
leaving. 1t was not stated whether
the State business centered at Santa
Cruz or at San Francisco

Napa Forces Are at War Over
Prospects Of Candidates for
District Attorney.

.NAPA, Aug. 31.-Eyerything in the
political atmosphere seems to be very
quiet here at present, but 1T is sup
posed by the wise ones to be only a
iuli before the storm. There will be
several contests in this years election,
but the chief one seems at present to
be the fight for the District Attorney
ship. which will be between Raymond
Benjamin. the Republican incumbent,
and Frank NJ. Silva, a young Demo-
cratic lawyer OF this city. who has
gained considerable prominence during
the last few years in his profession
and also by his fterdinner speeches
throughout this county as a member
of the different lodges. He is consid-
cred by the Democrats as a sure win
ner in the coming election.
Besides this battle there is likely to
be another one for the Office OF Sheriff.
At present Dave Dunlap, the incum-
bent. is a Democrat, but after thor
ough canvass of the field the Repub-
licans have struck upon a man, George
B. Powers, who they think will be a
winner. Powers is at present a fore
man OF the Fly ranch, above this city,
and although having only lived in this
county for a few years is very pop
ular and will give D Inlap a hard bat
tie. Powers and Dunlap, while they
have not been selected by their party,
have already started their campaigns,
as they are assured of nomination.
The incumbent Republican County
Clerk, n. W. Collins. is at present the
only one in the field for that office. He
has held the position for several terms
and being one of the most widely
known men here will undoubtedly keep
his present place.
The rest of the ticket cannot be
forecasted at present.

RAILROAD MAN HAS
DISAPPEARED.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

OROVILLE. Aug. S1.-James S. NAL
lory, mining and civil engineer of
San Francisco, who has been employ ed
by the Western Pacific in this city
since the fire, disappeared a month
ago and his friends and employers en-
tertain grave fears for MS safety. NAL
lory left for Portland to buy machin-
cry for the Western Pacific. This oc-
cupied him but short time, and upon
returning he telegraphed that he
would drop off at Keswick to inspect
some mining property. Since that
time not word has been heard from
him. and letters and kilograms have
failed to locate him. So apprehensive
have his friends become for his safety
that this morning John Schreiner
left for Keswick to conduct a personal
search for the missing man. The fact
that Mr. Mallory Is reliable and of
sober habits has added to the anxiety
of his friends.

Bryan's speech Sets Conservative Dem
Ocrats to Shouting.

BOSTON. Aug. 31.-For second
time in his career William Jennings
Bryan has split the Eastern section of
the Democratic party wide open. Con-
seryatives and radicals are flung wider
apart by his government ownership
speeches than they were thrust by the
free silver issue. Conservatives are
taken by surprise and the most they
can say now is that they hope Mr..
Bryan will not stick to the issue.
Radicals like George Fred Williams,
John B. Moran, Colonel Drinkwater and
others are openly shouting. Colonel
William A. G; ;ton. an ultra conserva-
tive; Chairman Quincy, Congressman
Williams Congressman John r. Thayer
and Congressman Sullivan are mainly
conspicuous by their silence. Mr.. Sui
livan cautiously says he hopes the
government ownership idea is only a
personal one with Mr.. Bryan. whom
he thinks would not insist that it be
a plank in the 1908 platform before he
would accept the nomination.
George Fred Williams. admittedly
closer to Mr.. Bryan than any other
Eastern leader. declares the ex-silver
ite will force his policy as a Presiden-
tial candidate and that the Democrats
must accept him or abandon him.

Bryan's Views on Federal Own
ership Split Eastern Dem
ocracy Wide Open.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 31.-Tomorrow's
Courier-Journal, that erstwhile stancn
political enemy and more recent
avowed admirer and supporter of Will
liam Jennings Bryan, takes strong is
sue with that portion of the Nebraska
statesman's speech relating to Federal
ownership of railroads, delivered at
Madison-square Garden last night.
Watterson says the time is not only not
ripe for the injection of such plank
in the Democratic platform, but practi-
cally affirms that such a time never
will come, for no other reason than
that the conditions which make Gov
ernment ownership practicable in Eu-
rope Gas detailed by Bryan) are i'm
practicable here, because OF the very
form of government under which we
operate.
Watterson says that the adoption of
such a plank as a fighting line will
cost the Democratic party the election.
Bestowing upon Bryan that need of
praise which his Madison square Gar
den effort seems to demand, Watterson
says:
His speech of Thursday night is a
great speech. 1t contained matter
enough to engage the thoughts of peo-
pie and parties and statesmen for
decade to come. II half the remedies
he proposed be attained we shall have
sailed out OF the sea of Mammon and
beariding full rugged the billowy mid
ocean of Democracy. 1t is with posi-

purchase and public ownership OF the
railways because we not only think II

AGAINST THE PLUTocRAcY.

Watterson then delves deeply, into
the theoretical and practical sides, Of
Government ownership and contends
that Bryan's position is in conflict with
his philosophy. with the real tenor and
burden of his argument against the plu
tocracy, proposing. to enlarge rather
than to abridge its influence and area,
and to multiply its agencies hundred
fold. while at the same same time re-
moving the Government further away
from the reach of the people and the
pressure Of public opinion. 1t is less,
not more, government which we need,
both from the national Capitol and the
State Capitols.
In conclusion watterson says, in
part:
The incident of state ownership of
state lines which Mr.. Bryan throws as
a sop to the old Democratic theory of
State rights is the merest item. 1t
takes away none of the centralizing
features of the Government ownership
of the trunk lines. The Federal idea
carried to its ultima thule could go
no further in consolidating the powers
of Government. Under the system he
advocates the Government public union
upon which, in spite of organized
money, the people yet retain a certain
hold, would become the merest partisan
autocracy, the President as puisant as
a monarch and the people the merest
appendages of the politicians.
The San Francisco call., 1906-09-01
SUGGESTION IMPRAcTIcABLE.

The suggestion as a plank in a DEM
ocratic platform at this time is not
only impracticable in the highest de-
gree. but If it were adopted a fight
ing line would cost us the election. 1t
could not be carried out as a policy
even IL by some cataclysm we should
come to power in spite of 1t, and 1t
ought not to be adopted or contem-
plated as a policy by any party having
the real good of the people at heart
1t is un-American and un- Democratic ic.
Illogical to all our professions on
the side OF simple. efficacious and up
right government-like the winged
horse in the Irish legend, impossible
to catch and not worth having when
caught
Mr.. Bryan will be the next Demo-
cratic nominee for President of the
United States. We accept heartily. We
shall work for his election increasingly.
1t is our opinion that the party can
not afford to break new ground.
Enough OF opportunity and duty lies
upon the surface to engage 1t. II It
wins in 1908 it must show a grasp upon
the things that are possible and the
situation as 1t is, abstaining from al
legged cure -alls and undertaking only
what appeals to the common sense and
common honesty of the people
