PALO ALTO FOR LEAGUE
Herrin Machine Secures Only
o5 Votes, Against 2I4

PALO ALTO, Aug. 12.-Lincoln-
Hayes vote, s5. That is the result of
the primary election in Palo Alto, an
example to the rest of the state of the
view that the citizens of clean town
take of their civic rights and duties.
The machine leaders, j. p. Parkin-
son and c. +. Gilman, an employe of
the Bay Cities water company, aided
by Louis Oneal and Bert Harrington
of San Jose, made desperate effort to
carry the election. There was plenty
of money in evidence to hire automo-
blies and carriages to spur their hench-
men to earnest electioneering efforts
but the voters were in sympathy with
the league by more than three to one
The machine workers resorted to
misrepresentation and trickery and
three of the delegates on their county
convention ticket had publicly an
nounced that they would not stand
for their election, but their names
However, the league was thoroughly
organized and conducted the campaign
in most systematic manner, giving
ciples. The large majority here was
sufficient to elect the league state con-
vention ticket for the fifty seventh as
sembly district, and doubtless also the
congressional ticket for the district, al
though 1t is announced from San Jose
that the official count will be necessary
to decide who are the congressional
delegates.

unexpected opposition to the league
was developed by the organization of
the Stanford farm employees under the
direction of old time friends of the
San Jose ring. Yet the league carried
the day by vote of 50 to Al, electing
Prof. r. L. Green, ]. Z. Mcdowell and
]. M. Clark delegates to the county
convention.
The league elected three delegates
to the county convention and the ma
chine one in the Mayfield precinct. The
fourth league candidate was beaten by
one vote
Supervisor Frank Mitchell of this dis
trict, who was fought by the HAYES
brothers, will be renominated. as he has
SO out of 4S delegates. Supervisors
Aver and Hubbard have also carried
their districts, despite the efforts of the
Oneal- Hayes combination, and if the
delegates from the three supervisorial
districts work together they will con-
troll the county convention In the In
terest of honest government by a vote
of 102 to "a.
The democrats in Palo Alto cast only
10 ballots, the socialists and the pro-
hibitionists 8. S. NJ Cuthbertson of
Mayfield, Stanford graduate, will be
the democratic nominee for the assem-

There are three republicans out for

HOW 70 KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which It May 1s Identified

After building has been painted
long enough for weather test. It IL
easy to tell If the paint used was made
Of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality Of the paint before It
and. the labor Of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend q
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me.

such as is produced by blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White. Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera.
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company. are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test Of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the elbow

THE COSTUME OF A POET.

Gabrielle d'Annunzio Has a Numerous
and Varied Outfit Of Clothes.
The wardrobe Of Gabrielle d,Annun-
zio shares with his new play, "The
Ship" the attention Of the Italian
newspapers. A Roman reporter who
got an opportunity to look over his
stock of clothes reports that the poet
owns u shirts, IA pairs of colored
socks, some of silk and some of thread,
4S pairs Of street gloves and "a pairs
of white ones; umbrellas, including
several of violet hue; 20 dozen hand
kerchiefs, $50 scarfs and neckties, 10
house jackets and 6 pairs Of slippers.
There were about dozen hats of
all shapes, evening dress coats, dinner
coats, frock coats, waistcoats, fancy
and plain. Trousers and shoes are de-
scribed as innumerable. The purchase
of new supplies is described as being
serious business on which the poet
concentrates his artistic faculties, so
that nothing may belong to him which
is not worthy of him. He also gives
up his whole soul to the process of
dressing, so that his mind may be
completely at liberty when it is over
in the consciousness that no mistakes
have been made through discord in
colors or combinations of inharmoni-
GUS forms.

CHASED BY AN EXPRESS TRAIN.
French Way Train Got on Wrong Track
and Had to Make Quick Time.

Through the fault of signalman a
way train which left Paris Monday
night for Amiens got on the wrong
track and was chased by an express
train for over an hour at the imminent
risk of a collision, says the New York
Times.
The mistake. took place where the
northern line branches after leaving
the bridge at Creil.@ There, through
the momentary observation-disclosures of
a signalman, the way train was sent
out on the track going to Com
peigne instead of the one going to
Amiens.
Knowing that he was followed at a
short distance by the fast express
which leaves the Care du Nord at $40
o'clock the engineer Immediately sent
his train ahead at full speed for the
station of Pont-Saint- Maxence, where
there is siding. The track was clear
for the express, so there was no dan
ger ahead.
The passengers, many of them com
muters used to leisurely pace and ia
miliar with every inch of the road
son discovered that something was
wrong, and the report spread that the
engineer had gone mad. This seemed
verified when the train passed station
after station at dizzy speed. Conduc
tor and brakemen were as terrified as
the passengers. When Pont-Saint
Naxence was reached the train came
to a sudden halt and was then run
safely on the siding.
The express dashed by-on time
and without mishap. The way trair
with it's agitated commuters then re
turned in peace to Creil. where it was
switched to the line it should have
taken two hours before
