IMPENDING REPUBLICAN,
RUPTURE


That the Republican party is on the
eve Of the greatest rupture in it's his
tory is the intimated belief of the chair
man OF its national committee. Chair
man Harry s. New says the party's
national convention next year twill be
fight from start to finish" 1t will
be in marked contrast, he declares, to
"the last two conventions which were
mere ratification meetings, the one that
nominated Mckinley at Philadelphia
and the other that nominated Roosevelt
at Chicago"
All the Republican straws now stir
ring certainly portend a party cyclone,
of which the next national convention
will be the storm center. The choice
of candidate to run the presidential
race next tAyear will not go by default,
as it did in 1900 and 1904. There are
several prominent aspirants already in
the paddock, with the likelihood of
more entries before the date to be
fixed for the convention.
AS an evidence of unusual interest in
the coming fight to a flnish" the
chief partisans of the aspirants already
announced are scheming for choice of
convention city. Chicago is hot-footed,
as usual, in it's chase for the prize.
Chairman New says "the convention
will be a RECORD breaker and will draw
an immense crowd" which is sufficient
to explain Chicago's eagerness to scoop
the prospective financial results.
Other cities that are pushing for the
convention honor and profit, mainly
the latter, are ST. Louis, Kansas City,
Denver, the Minnesota twins and Phila-
delphia. The launching of Senator
Knox's presidential boom by the Penn
sylvania Republicans will cause the
leaders of the party in that state to
strive their mightiest to make Phila-
delphia the convention city: The ulti-
mate choice, however, is likely to whit
tie down to Chicago and ST. Louis, with
the chances favoring the former.
In view of the certainty of a bitter
fight between the partisans of the sew
eral favorite sons, it is difficult to see
haw a rupture can be avoided. In
Ohio, for instance, the two factions of
the payty are so hostile that the loss of
the state is probable no matter who
the presidential candidate may be. The
situation in New York, Iowa, Illinois
and some other states is almost as
critical.
On the Democratic side of the po-
litical fence the situation is the direct
reverse of the intensive anxiety mani
tested on the Republican side. The
work of the Democratic convention has
been practically forestalled, in fact, by
the views of the rank and file of the
party as expressed in state and county
conventions and by the Democratic
The man who shall head the Demo-
cratic ticket next year has been selected
and his nomination by the convention
will be in the nature of a ratification. !
The salient features of the Democratic
platform are known in advance almost
as certainly as the personality of the
candidate. There is no pulling for the
choice of a convention city, because any
place will answer for the nomination
of a winning ticket and platform.

WANTS DAMAGES AND
STOCK FOR COERCION

L. A. Garrett told on the witness
stand yesterday of the alleged conspir-
acy by which he claims that 5000
shares of the Inglewood Water COM
pany stock was extorted from him, by
the threats of the directors.
A dramatic scene was enacted in de-
partment four of the superior court
when the quit claim deed, to which it is
charged he forged an additional clause
after the document had been executed,
was offered in evidence.
When first accused of the forgery
Garrett voluntarily surrendered his
shares of the stock, and now seeks to
recover them on the grounds of CO.
ercion and also asks 100000 damages.
