fight followers are awaiting with keen
anticipation the ten-round fight be-
tween Bill Lang, the Australian heavy
weight, and Stanley Ketchel, which is

unknown as fighter here, has
very creditable record for youngster

novice. After hard contest of
twenty rounds with Tommy Burns,
the latter secured a close decision

Australia. Since that time he is said
to have greatly improved and he ex-
poets to defeat Ketchel Should he

THE GALVESTON CONVENTION

The Galveston convention, called as
democratic state convention, ap
pears to be nothing more nor less
than. Bailey boost association, and
the candidate for governor and other
state officers seem to have been lost
in the shuttle completely. The Her,
aid is not especially surprised at the
action of the friends of the junior
senator, but is surprised that the SEN
ator would allow such a program to
be carried out in his behalf. Such a
proceeding can result in nothing less
than a compact resistance on the part
of those opposed to the senator The
Herald had been assured repeatedly
that Senator Bailey was not an issue
in the present campaign, but it de-
velops that he is, in fact, the only
issue. 1t may be accepted as final
that the fight is on in full force
against the senator and the opposition
would be less than natural if they do
not make the most of the challenge
and make the fight of their lives to
unseat him in the election of 1912.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 11.-Witt
the general primaries but five days
away, the political campaign through
out California has reached a stage oil
feverish intensity. The main interest
centers in the fight for governor, and
since Theodore Bell, the democratic
aspirant, has no opposition. at the
primaries the real struggle will be
between the five republicans This
contest on the republican side will
afford the first test of the strength
of the insurgent movement in Cali

Hiram Johnson is the insurgent
choice for the head of the ticket
For weeks he has been industriously
touring the state and it is generally
admitted that his clever campaign
speeches have increased the insur-
gent sentiment in many counties. In
his behalf Clifford Pinchot, the de-
posed United States forester, came
to California recently and spoke in
several of the chief cities.
The other candidates for the repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination are re-
garded as regulars. They are Alden

DO YOU WEIGH TOO MUCH?
The Real Remedy and the Recipe

The Real Remedy and the Recipe.
There are some stout people whom
the above question does not seem to
trouble very much. They are, how.
ever, wrong to be so careless, for
obesity is a complaint which brings
many evils in its train. There are
others who have sought long and
earnestly for really reliable remedy
for obesity, and to these the follow
ing prescription will be of absorbing
interest, because it presents in SIM
pie and harmless form and sure relief
"a remedy which is rapidly gaining
worldwide reputation. The reader
may make up the prescription for
himself Cor HERSELF on getting the in
gradients from the druggist-or the
latter will do so willingly.
This is the full recipe: 10 OF. Mar
mola, IL OF. Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic, and IL o. Peppermint
Water. Take a dose of one teaspoon
full after each meal and at bedtime.
This admirable and quite harmless
remedy will soon take off pounds of
the offending fatty excess; and as,
day by day, the weight decreases,
strength and vigor will return in
equal ratio; for, be it observed, there
is no fasting or exercise required.
Rest, good food, regular doses-these
are all that is necessary to reduce
weight to normal, increase the supply
Of pure blood, clear the skin, beautify
the complexion, and restore energy
and excellent spirits.-Adv.

eLC can De shocked lnCO making SUCH
statement as the following the sight
must have been one to make all OF
the gods weep. Col. Bill has been in
politics, as an observer, for the past
half century, and knows the game
from start to finish, but he confesses
that he has never seen anything quite
so STACEY or well staged as the little
show at Galveston. Speaking of the
conventions subserviency to Senator
Bailey, Col. Bill says:
In this convention he was in no
particular danger in any way as far
as l can understand The men who
had fought him hardest were absent
with the exception of one or two, and
they were disposed to hold their
peace, either through Indifference or
because they could not solidify the
anti-Bailsy faction or element.
So it can be truthfully said that the
triumph was forced one, not one
secured by the aggression of his en-
emies. Don Quixote, when he tilted
at the windmills, did as brave a deed
and accomplished as great a triumph
as did the Bailey men when they tilt
ed at the opposition yesterday. In the
one case it was against a poor, soul
less and perhaps rickety contrivance
to pump water; in the other case it
was against an opposition or political
sentiment which had no leaders, no
conference and no vitality.
But the Bailey leaders had some
thing to do, though their following
hated to give up their soft beds and
the refreshing breezes of the morning
to engage in battle, which in all
things was to be merely mock one.
AS it was to be mock one, the lead
ers had to prepare for it in the tab
leau and Mardi Gras way There
were speeches to be made. There
was applause to be provided for.
There was to be flag waving-and all
that at the proper and prescribed
time. The leaders as rule were to
be recognized by immense ribbon
rosettes which they proudly wore on
their breasts, rosettes of green and
white ribbon to the weight of nearly
half pound.
l have been to republican conven-
lions in Texas when the main matter
was to get the colored vote and the
colored taste for extravaganza in
taste was catered to. l have seen
bandmasters with gilded batons and |
shakos two feet high. l have seen
burlesque on ancient and medieval
times when the taste in personal |
adornment ran riot, but l have never
yet beheld anything quite as appal-
ling and whitening to the esthetic
most of the torsos of officers of the
convention, who were in most part of
the Bailey leaders. Even on the
streets they wore them, and in spite
of myself l could not help from an
at any moment the cry we
have so often heard in the country
towns when the circus had begun its
monday parade: Make way, gentle
men; care for your horses, for the
great parade, with its mighty ele-
plants and beasts of the forests, is
on its way. Make way, gentlemen,
and have a care for your domestic an
imals, for the most wonderful collec-
ton of the beasts of the earth are
with you now"
