At the Democratic headquarters here
it is intimated, rather It is vertually
predicted. that when Taft takes the
stump he will be challenged TO Joint

ridicule. AT the Republican headquar-
ters, il is said, that Taft will decline
TO debate with his rival.

RIVAL TOWNS TO GREET FLEET
(By s. w. Press Assoctat3on (,

tBy S. W. Press Association.)
SAN FRANCISCO. April 30-Oncers
end men Of the Pacific fleet entered
to-day upon the glorious windup OF
their entertainment by the people OF
Santa Barbara and tomorrow will find
the mighty battleshlps again headed
northward with the ports of Santa
Cruz and Monterey as their objective
points. These are rival towns, and, us
the ships OF the fleet will be divided
between them. each Will seek to Guido
the other In the lnvishness of it's cele-
bration. 1t was originally planned tc
have the entire fleet rendezvous ut
Santa Cruz, but the people OF Mon
terey sent up such a cry and clamor
that the navy department succumbed
and ordered n division of the fleet.
This did not please the citizens of
Santa Cruz. who desired to have the
whole show to themselves. but Mon.
terey is jubilant and its business men
are intent upon showing the rival city
Just how a battleshlp fleet should be
entertained.
10 q mfsinterpretation OF some or.
ders sent out from the navy depart.
ment to Rear Admiral Evans seems to
be due the controversy between Santa
Cruz and Monterey. On account of this
misunderstanding 1t was originally de.
cided that Santa Cruz should have the
whole fleet. leaving Monterey In the
cold. Thereupon Monterey citizens got
busy. They set forth that their town
was entitled to as much consideration
as Santa Cruz: that 1t was the first
capital of the State and had many his
torical attractions for the men of the
fleet: TINT with its own population and
that Immediately adjacent more resi-
dents would find 1t convenient to go
to Monterey than to Santa Cruz, and
that In any event Santa Cruz had not
the necessary facilities to entertain all
thee feet, either In its harbor or In It's
hotels. Fa
Messages flew back and forth be-
tween Washington and the rival towns.
Monterey put up a strong fight and
gained its point. Hence ench town will
receive half the ships for the full Pc
Rod OF the scheduled stay. ti3}
