PLEDGES NOMINEE
AGAINST MACHINE
Ventura County Senatorial Con-
venti0n Names Louis IL. Rose
berry as Candidate
Congressman S. c. Smith Is Re-
nominated and Protection for
Citrus Fruits Urged
SPECIAL p1spAroH TO THE CALL

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 20.-"Re-
solved, that the nominee of this con-
vention be pledged to support only such
candidates for the United States senate
as shall be truly representative OF the
common interests of the people OF Cali
fornia and who by precedent associa-
tions are known or are generally
reputed to be independent and trust
worthy and under no obligation to OF
in alliance with great corporations who
through subservient politicians have
sought or are seeking to dominate the
organization of the republican party in
California"
Senator Bard, the leading Lincoln
Roosevelt league worker of Ventura
county, forced this resolution through
the senatorial convention here, which
today nominated Louis H. Roseberry
for state senator. The resolution was
adopted without discussion. DR.. Mott
of Ventura had his entire delegation OF
seven with him, but they were over
matched by Roseberry's nine from this
county. DR.. Mott afterward addressed
the convention, saying:
PROMISE TO SUPPORT TICKET
1--WE humbly bow to the inclination
of those who would break time hon
ored compact, but we of Ventura are
good losers" and he promised to sup
port the entire ticket.
In the congressional convention this
evening Congressman S. c. Smith was
renominated by acclamation without
the slightest tinge of opposition. His
nomination was seconded by the leader
of every county delegation.
Inc strongest feature of this conven-
tion. however, was in the resolutions
which, after applauding President
Roosevelts policies and the republican
national platform candidates, declared:
I'VE recognize the wisdom of the re-
publican convention in declaring for a
revision of the tariff, but we urge upon
our representatives the Importance and
justice of the present moderate tariff
on citrus fruits and other agricultural
products of this district.
WANT REVISION UPWARD
ANY revision that may be considered
with reference to those products should
be upward rather than downward We
indorse the movement among the citrus
fruit growers of the state to secure an
advance in the tariff on lemons and
pledge our congressman to use his best
efforts to maintain the protection fruit
growers now have and to secure such
Increase as may be equitable and just"
The congressional convention repre-
sented all southgrn California except
Los Angeles county and its declaration
on the tariff is therefore pointed. Both
conventions were tame. Ro3eberry
lives here and is independent. There
was no attempt to force former Senator
Dave Perkins upon the convention.

SLIGHTLY USED PIANOS

First and foremost we wish to en-
phasize the exceptionally fine condi-
tioa or the exchanged pianos in this
great sale. Many of them can hardly
be told from new. They came to us
in exchange for the wonderful Pianola
Piano, which any one can play II ii
were not for the marvelously fasci-
mating powers of the Pianola Piano
these exchanged pianos would still be
occupying their places in many of Cali
fornia's best homes Most of them
have been but little used and their
owners would not have parted with
them at all were it not to acquire the
self-playing Pianola Piano.

large osprey or fish hawk that measur-

We are glad to note the improvements

Arrested ON SrriouS Charge.

On arrival of the through freight train
at this place Wednesday morning about
4 o'clock, conductor Seigmund reported
that he had several men prisoners in a
merchandise car, and asked for an officer
so that they could arrest them. While
efforts were being made to get deputy
Sheriff Stul and Justice of Peace Jones,
the prisoners in some manner opened the
door and jumped out of the car In the
meantime however a number of men had
gathered and as soon as they found the
boys Gas they turned out to be- had got
ten out, proceeded to capture them. They
caught two but third one took to his
heels. Chase was given but to no avail
Deputy Stull and Jones arrived in the
meantime and took possession of the
boys. Detective Burnett was telegraph
ed for and arrived here on the 500 train
from Hagerstown, and for the railroad
charged the boys with having broken the
seal and riding Illegally on the freight.
At hearing before Justice Jones one
of the prisoners, John Rossi, testified
that he had gotten in the car at Emory
Grove, having came from Baltimore to
that place on another train and unloading
Just before he entered the car he says
several negroes jumped out and that he
and the boy that escaped entered the car
but broke no seal.
The other prisoner, Geo. S. Rupert
testified that he was not with the two
boys in the box car but came after them
on another train and his testimony was
confirmed by brakeman Reese. Just
ice Jones held Rossi for further hearing
until Saturday morning at which time
detective Burnett expects to produce the
boy who escaped and also know whether
or not any goods were taken from the
car. Ruperts was charged with riding
illegally and fined one dollar and costs,
$3.50, which amount was raised by pri-
vate subscriptions. According to the
story of the boys they are residents of
Chambersburg, Pa, and had gone to
Baltimore for the purpose of enlisting in
the navy. At the recruiting station they
were refused enlistment and after seeing
the sights became broke and attempted
to go home by way of freight trains.
A great many people imagine they

will disappear. Take kodol now and un-
til you know you are right again. There

you will find the truth of this statement
verified after you have used Kodol for a
