A FREE DELEGATE

A MONG Embossed Republican dele
u gates to the state convention
"A who refuse to wear the railroad
favor of choosing Thomas R. Bard
for delegate at large to the national
convention. Former Senator Bard,
who is the choice of Lincoln-R
welt league delegates, has a distin-
guished record in many particulars,
but In one particular it is exceptional
and conspicuous. He is one Of the
few Republican senators from Cali
fornia who could boast truthfully that
he did not owe his place to the South
ern Pacific or its machine, and was
therefore honestly and unequivocally
a senator from California, and not
from the s. P. 1t goes without saying
that the S. p is opposed to Bard as
delegate at large, and will use all
the power it can command to pre-
vent him from going to the national
convention. The Southern Pacific
bosses have issued instructions that
he must" be beaten. But the collar
less delegates, those who do not be-
lieve in railroad control of politics,
will support him stanchly. The OPP
position of tn, railroad power is one
of the best testimonials to Bard's grit
and integrity that could be given. He
IS an honest and a fearless man, and
as delegate at large would be credit
to California. 1t is to be hoped Cali
fornia will have a clean, upright, hon
orable representation at the national
convention, and will not be disgraced
by being exposed to the jeering COM
ments of eastern papers and the
sights and slurs of delegates from
other states. There may be machines
in other states, and doubtless there
are. But to California there Is at
tached the peculiar odium OF being
at the beck and call of that kind of
machine which is popularity supposed
to be the most machinelike and least
conscience guided of ala railroad
machine. If Bard is defeated by S.
p. Vaccinations, Californias reputa-
ton will have received another blow
from the most baneful influence that
ever afflicted a progressive and pa
triotic state. For the sake of Ameri-
canism and California, Bard should
be chosen for delegate at large. mo
boss rule. No railroad domination"

TORYISM

4 DEAR old evening paper which has
n been published in New York for
"a years and years says 1--WE cannot
contemplate without dread the idea of
a. professional agitator like Mr.. Bryan
becoming president; but If he succeeds
he can thank the folly and wickedness
of such corporation magnates as
Thomas F. Ryan" This sounds like
an echo from the dim and distant past
We may imagine the ghost of the
great great great great grandfather
of the eastern editorial writer num-
bling into his ear: 1--WE cannot contem-
plate without dread the idea of a pro-
fessional agitator like General Wash
ington becoming president" 1t is
Toryism-nothing more, but nothing
less. The Tories were not hanged after
the revolution. Some of them went to
Canada, where they are comparatively
harmless. But many remained in the
United States and their breed has come
ululating down the corridors of time.
Every great revolutionary or reform
movement in the United States has
been hailed by them with dread. They
are professional shudderers, and like
the misnamed mutes at old fashioned
funerals at a given signal they can
groan in chorus. Each time they have
expressed dread at an idea, that idea
has been for the greatest good of the
greatest number Of Americans. When
the shuddering grannies begin to point
with dread at the idea of Mr.. Bryan
becoming president it indicates they
have made up their quivering, gelatine
minds that Mr.. Bryan will be presi-
dent.

A CURIOUS SOUVENIR

A short time ago Pope Plus x gave
an audience to a group of distin-
guished Americans. While they were
conversing. the reverend gentleman
took from a compartment in nearby
desk piece of paper and, handing it
to one of the party, said: "By the way,
allow me to present you with little
souvenir of your visit to Plus the
Tenth" The recipient, upon exam
lining his treasure, found 1t to be the
return coupon OF railroad ticket from
Venice to Rome. 1t was the one pur-
chased by Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto to
attend the meeting of cardinals at
Rome after the death of Leo. AS we
all know, he has never returned to
