Women Who Made Trip to .GoIdfeId
Show Their Appreciation of Ef-
forts of President Frank
r. Searlght

So we'll pleased were the American
press humorists with the series of pleas
ant trips, receptions and banquets which
marked their fifth annual convention in
Los Angeles and Goldheld that num-
ber of them have fingered to further en-
Joy the glories of Southern California,
while few have taken trips north. By
tomorrow night or Monday, however, the
last one probably will have left for his
home In the east.
Among those who have remained to
visit local friends or go to Coronado or
Catalina are Mr.. and Mrs. s. e. Kiser of
Chicago, mir. and Mrs. S. w. Gillian of
Baltimore and Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Penn
berton of st. Mary's, w. Va. Alfred j.
Waterhouse of the Sacramento Union is
making brief stopover with friends In
Santa Ana, while Mr.. and Mrs. r. s.
Graves of st. Joseph, Mo-, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Chapman of Denver are ex-
tending their trip to San Francisco.
Santa Rosa and other parts of Northern
California.
An incident following the return of the
humorists from Goldfield showed how the
American press humorists' party regard
the successful efforts of their new presi-
dent, Frank T. Searight of Los Angeles
At the Alexandria Mr.. Searight was
pleasantly surprised by receipt of hand
somely engraved set of gold cuff links,
with the following note from the ladies'
of the funmakers, party:
"a token of appreciation that stretches
from ocean to ocear."
The presentation was made by Mrs. s.
E. Kiser on behalf of Mesdames Laura
B. McAdams, Eliza e. Rose, Lena A.
Hogaboom, F. E. Wolfe and Grace w.

Monument Outlook Is Good

Since the entertainment at the Audi
torium here the prospects for the "Bilr'
Nye monument are better than ever.
President Searight yesterday received
check for 800 from Edmund Vance
Cooke of Cleveland, president of the
International Lyccum association, as
that organizations subscription to the
monument fund, and has an order on
the box office at the Mason, along with
a beautiful sentiment by Olga Neither
sole, for her subscription next week.
The Nye monument edition of the
American Press Humorists' book which
has been on sale at the Auditorium box
office since the entertainment, is selling
we'll and will be pushed locally by
Parker's book store 220 South Broad
way. Forbes & Co., publishers and
distributors at Chicago, have agreed to
circulate the book throughout the
country, and If successful, will publish
it in revised form, probably adding a
few selections by humorists not repre-
sented. to the 224 pages of fun and
pathos in this most interesting publi-
cation.

Prank, what will you take for Southern

Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-27


The humorist who did not carry away
with him a book full of gems such as
the above-and an equal number OF
puns on his own name--would be hard
to find. In fact much of the discomfort
of heat snd sand of the Nevada desert
on the way to Goldfeld passed un-
noticed because of the busy exchange
of autographs and sentiments. Gale
and Taylor. the two local artists with
the party, made sketches in nearly all
the books, and Kiser showed some abil-
ity in the same line when he tired OF
writing verse.
From start to finish of the trip the
courtesies extended by the Salt Lake
route the Las Vegas e. Tonopah road
and the Bullfrog & Goldheld road not
only made up to a great extent for the
good old days of passes and the lack
of them now, but showed an interest
in the advancement of Southern Cali
fornia and southern Nevada that en-
titles the railroad men to lasting
credit To see that these most prom
inent writer's, as we'll as funmakers, OF
America missed no point of interest
and got much out of travel that the
average tourist may miss because he
knows not how to find it, General Pas
senger Agent T. c.. Peck and Editor
Douglas White of the Arrowhead ac-
companied the party everywhere, while
at different places along the dine mes
sages of good will were received from
Traffic Manager Fred A. Wann. The.
wife and daughter of Auditor Bettis of
the Salt Lake Joined the excursionists
at Las Vegas and helped make the trip
more pleasant for the ladies of the
humorists' party to Goldfeld and re-
turn. Resolutions of thanks were
passed by the humorists to Messrs. ].
Ross Clark, Wann, Peck, White, Gillett
and Hedden, and were transmitted in
humorous though seriously grateful
form by the jokesmiths to them The
lingering writer's also express thanks
to the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe Ban
ming company. Pacific Electric and Los
Angeles Pacific for making their stay
pleasant.

BAILEY's TRIUMPH.

The effort of Senator Bailcy's en-
mics In Texas will, In all probability
score failure.
In the FIRST test vote In Comanche
county. Senator Bailey was oudors.
ed by over 40 per cent Of the yot-
ers. In Senator Hawkins district
Senator Bailey's friends are thor
oughly organized TO defeat Mr.. Haw
kins, who resigned his scat In the
state Senate to go before the people
for reelection on an anuBailey
ticket. From long range 1t looks as
II the state senator has laid away
the promises OF a bright future before
the noon Of life.
The victory OF Senator Bailey is a
wonderful tribute to his powerful per
sonalty He has strong opposition
in the shape of some of the most re-
lentless enemies that ever pursued
any man. Among the opposition are
some OF the States most able and cl.
oquent orators The newspapers
have been filled with column after
column of charges in regard TO Sen.
ator Bailey's relations with the Stan.
dard oil Company. II has been shown
that Senator Bailey borrowed sums
of money from a representative OF
the Waters.Piercc Company, suppos
ed to be an ally Of the Standard oil
Senator Bailey says the sums OF
money represented loans. His enc
mics call II "scandalOus outrage re
fcrring to the reintroduction OF the
Waters Pierce, once outlawed by the
courts, to do business in Texas and
Baileys connection herewith. When
ever any true charge was made, fol
instance, with regard to the loans that
he made from representative of the
Waters Pierce Company Senator Bail
cy frankly and openly confessed.
The wonderful personal triumph
Of Senator Bailey plainly establishes
the Senator's popularity I'm Texas
We are not discussing his guilt ol
innocence in connection with the
charges Of corruption against him
Even the Texas papers reluctantly
discuss IT, But under the pressure of
public duty they do discuss IT, We
occupy the position Of ncighhors in
tcrostcd TO a degree and will watch tC
see what is finally done. We believe
Senator Bailey will be reelected, how
ever.
