Ball Stands Pat on Ticket.

Montgomery, Mo-, Oct. I'd. A.
Ball spoke at Beethoven, nine miles
east of this city, last night, and
gave utterance to the following:
In order that my position in this
campaign may not be misunder-
stood, wish to state most emphat-
ically that | am unequivocally for
William S. Cowherd and the entire
Democratic state ticket. If the Re-
publicans can get any comfort out
Of this statement, they are welcome
to it."
Mr.. Ball stated fl--::,,or that he
did not believe that Mr.. Cowherd,
or any member of the state ticket,
had in any way connived at the
primary fraudes prepetrated in St
Louis; that those who violated the
law were neither Democrats MOI
Republicans, but criminals.

New York Sun Bolts Taft.

"Son-in-law Nick" is the straw
that has completely smashed the
camels back.
The New York Sun could stand
most anything and still support
Taft, but the Longworth declaration
is more than it can swallow and
hence that staid old Republican
newspaper has switched to the
Peoples candidate. 1t says:

An Advertising Test.

The relative merit of the various
forms of advertising was put to a
curious test in New York City some
time ago. The manager of one of
the theater3 had 5000 slips printed
and passed them around through
the audience at each performance.
On these slips six questions we're
asked, all bearing upon the manner
in which a patrons attention was
called to a certain theatrical attrac-
ton. The questions were: Did
you read it in a newspaper? Did
you see it on a bill board? Did you
see it on a moving wagon? Or q
man carrying a sign? Was it by
means of a postal card? Or was ii
by hearsay?" The patron was ask
ed to place a cross opposite the
question which indicated the line OF
publicity that reached him. More

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON, May 5.--In the twenty
third assembly district comprising the
city of Stockton, eight delegates to the
republican state convention were elected
today. They are C. P. Rendon, Charles
F. Holman a. G.. Keagle. C. E.
Williams, George w. Haines, M. H.
Orr, w. H. Briggs and ]. " Coates
Four of the above are members of the
Lincoln-Roosevelt league. while only
one is recognized as belonging to the
machine. The other three are repre-
sentative republicans who can neither
be classed as organization men nor
Lincoln-R -Roosevelters. The principles
of the league are so in the ascendency
here that the great majority of the
republicans are in hearty accord with
them.
The vote polled was light. Through
out San Joaquin county outside the
city and comprising the twenty fourth
assembly district, primaries We're held
today at which delegates to county
convention to be held here Saturday
were voted for. Sentiment in the
county is practically unanimous in
favor of the Lincoln Roosevelt move
ment and majority of the county
delegates will undoubtedly unite with
the league on the floor of the state
convention

nees Of both republican and democratic
parties We're successful The vote was
about 33 1-3 per cent of the regular
republican strength.
There was opposition in both camps
and the Lincoln Roosevelt club among
the republicans worked hard to get
out a full vote and succeeded in carry
ing half Of the precincts, though not
by a large majority TO overcome the
larger majority given to the regular or
county central committee tickets in
the others.
There was little scratching. With
two small precincts to hear from,
which are conceded to the Lincoln

totals show: For the committee ticket,

OConnor, are as confident of a victory
as they ever We're in any fight in which
the Montana terror has figured thus
far In order to emphasize their con-
victions both bet $1,000 yesterday.
The odds are still 10 to 8 in favor Of
Ketchel and the chances are that they
will drop another point before the men
enter the ring. The betting has been
very brisk for the last few days and
this is taken as an indication of the
keen interest which the local fans are
evincing in the mill

With only three days between them
and the fight of their lives both Stan
ley Ketchel and Jack Twin Sullivan are
at weight, 156 pounds, and practically
ready TO enter the ring and fight as
they never fought before Both worked
out before admiring crowds yesterday
and all those who saw the men go pro-
nounced them to be in the best pos
sible form for a long and grueling mill.
If appearances go for anything in the
fighting game the rival middle weights
surely should put up a fight worth go
ing miles to see.
A large delegation of the local sport
ing fraternity made the pilgrimage to
San Rafael to take a peep at the Twin.
He was ready to receive his guests,
and so was his twin brother. Mike. The
pair went three fast rounds and each
used everything that he knows in the
way of boxing and roughing it. Jack
pulled off many of his old time tricks
and showed lot of speed when he
danced lightly around the ring.
Ketchel did his usual days work.
He took his run on the road in the
morning and went in for the gym and
boxing stunts in the afternoon. His
big sparring mate, Barney Mullen,
came in for beating, just as he does
every day. and Ketchel was eager for
more fighting when the bout ended.
Today both men will declare a
Roman holiday in honor of the fleet.
They intend to beat in from the train
ing camps bright and early and line
up with the countless thousands who
will be ready TO greet the fleet as IL
comes through the Golden gate. AS
both men are practically ready for
their engagement the little relaxation
Will not do them any harm.

DEMOCRATS UPHOLD
REGULAR MAJORITY

The regular democratic organization,
generated by Gavin MeNab, with Thom-
as w. Hickey as his chief of staff, pre-
served it's supremacy at the primary
polls yesterday after one of the hard
est battles which it has fought in many
years.
Eleven districts with total of A
delegates We're kept by the regular or
ganization, while the remaining seven
with their 19 delegates were captured
by the opposition.
The members of the San Francisco
democratic club. as the rebel force is
called. attribute their inroads on the
McNab organization largely to the sup
port which they received at the polls
from union labor men, who registered
as democrats and voted the antiMcNab
ticket
The McNab tickets were victorious
in the twenty eighth, thirty first,
thirty-second. thirty-third, thirty
fourth. thirty fifth, thirty-sixth. thirty
eighth, fortieth, forty first and forty
third districts
The anti -McNab forces won in the
twenty-ninth, thirtieth, thirty seventh,
thirty-ninth. forty-second, forty
fourth and forty-ffth districts.
M'NAR HAS MAJORITY
The result gives the regular organi-
cation safe working majority of 25
delegates in the delegation of SO which
will go fEom San Francisco to the
state democratic convention at Fresno.
The democratic vote was very light,
the ratio to the republican vote being
about one to four. Out of total vote
of about 25,000 the democrats polled
only 6,652. OF these the regular Nc
Nab ticket received 1887 while the
opposition ticket polled 1865.
The opposition captured only two
of the big districts-the thirty-seventh
with its eight delegates and the thirty
ninth with it's apportionment of six.
The thirty seventh has the largest
apportionment in the city and was the
scene of one of the most stubborn bat
ties of the primary. Both sides put up
good representative tickets in the dis
trict. The McNab ticket was headed
by Frank Mogan and Thomas j.
Walsh, the former registrar, while
Harry Kelly. Theodore Roche and AL
McCabe of the district attorneys Of
fee bore the brunt of the fight on the
other side. Their efforts bore good
fruit, for they beat the county COM
mittee ticket by vote of 412 to $50.
PLUMB FO ROPPOsITION
The thirty-ninth was the other big
plum which went to the opposition.
The ticket in that district was headed
by Charles w. Eastin and Harry Boo
chic, the president and secretary of the
rebel organization. They have the
satisfaction of having beaten a ticket
with Frank Gould and Bert Schlesin-
ger at its head by vote of 290 to
265- Schlesinger has been mentioned
as candidate for delegate to the ma
tionai democratic convention, but it is
more than probable that he will have
to remain at home. His defeat has
also hurt his prestige as a possible
candidate for the congressional nomin-
alton on the bourbon ticket

victory in Los Angeles county was
made today by the Lincoln Roosevelt
league, which apparently has elected 81
Of the 1913 county delegates to the re-
publican state convention.
The republican machine managers
conceded at midnight that the league
had elected So delegates to 4S for the
regulars.
The league won it's great victories in

tions, have been elected. The official

Pasadena city. Long Beach, Pomona.
Whittier. San Pedro and Ocean Park

State Senator Charles w. Bell is cred

where the republican organization had
succeeded in getting number of
prominent citizens on their ticket, vet
without ability to elect them. The
Pasadena vote was: Lincoln Roosevelt

In Whittier the majority in favor of
the league was almost five to one, the
vote being Lincoln roosevelt 241, re-
publican 49.
San Pedro gave the league 221 and
the republicans 12s.
Only the great number OF old soldiers
at the national military home saved the
country portion of the seventy fourth

the veterans the victory for the deague
