party,
4 Senator Thompson and wife
left Washington last week for
Texas in the hope of benefit
ting his health. When he left
he denied in an interview that
he had either resigned or in
tended to resign, but is gener-
ally believed that his resigna-
ton was arranged with Cover
nor Burke when the latter was
here attending the governor g
convention. The secret would
undoubtedly have been. kept
until the new senator presented
himself to take the oath of
office had not the retiring sena-
tor confided the situation to a
friend in Texas who at once
notified Senator McCumber,
and in this way the story reach
ed North Dakota, where it's
truth was strenuously denied
by all directly connected with
the matter.

the difference between an old
style convention and the meet
ing Of this committee of elm

men before the people for cleo
ton. We have been in favor
of the primary election law
and are yet in favor of it, but
If it is to be twisted to suit the
ends Of a few politicians who
have been defeated by the con-
5vention system, then we can
see no difference between it
and the old style convention
system. The intention Of the
primary law, as we understand
it, was to give the people a
right to cay who should be
their candidate for this Office
or that Office. and every man
within the state was at liberty
TO announce himself as a can
didate for a certain office, but
lif this committee Of elimina-

fully climbed into the buggy and was
talking to the horse when the animal
bolted up Allston way toward Grove
street. The horse, frightened by the
screams of the child, increased it's
speed, and the buggy swerved from
side to side, and seemed on the point
of turning over as it raced up the
street
At Mckinley street Merritt ran out
and attempted to halt the animal, but
the runaway kept on, and Merritt
grabbed the bride, pulling with all his
strength.

AS he approached Grove street Merritt
saw a car approaching, and swerved
the rig into a telegraph pole to avoid
collision with the car. His hands
and arms were badly bruised by con-
tact with the pole, but he succeeded
in jamming the wheels of the buggy in
such manner as to stop the horse.

BURGLARS AGAIN
ROB DRUG STORE
R. j. Craker's Place in San Pablo
Avenue Entered Five
Times Within Year

OAKLAND. July 27.-Burglars broke
% into the Avenue drug store at 1901 San
Pablo avenue last night for the fifth
j.. time within year. Owing to the fact
b that the repeated attempts had caused
r. J. -Craker. proprietor of the store to
p. place his money in a deposit vault at
the close Of each days business only a
dollars worth OF telephone checks and
2 small amount OF change were secured.
40 attempt was made to crack the safe.
Three weeks ago Patrolman Connel-
ley surprised two men as they were at
tempting to break into the drug store.
When the men saw Connelley they fed
and the officer fired several shots after
them, following in pursuit. AS he was
jumping over a fence a the rear of the
store one of the thieves who had con-
cealed himself behind the inclosure,
struck COnnelley's revolver from his
hand. so severely injuring the officers
hand that he was obliged to give up
the chase.
1T is believed by both Craker and the
police that the several attempts at bur
glary have been made by the same men
and that their familiarity with the sur
:roundings points TO the probability of
their being residents of the neighbor
hood. Although Craker has taken every
possible precaution to prevent entrance
TO the place the burglars have thus
far found no difficulty in entering.
After the last burglary attempt era
ker installed what is known
Dutch lock of stout braces over the
door The thieves, who apparently
knew of this and laid their plans ac-
cordingly, carefully cut through the
wooden panels of the rear door, re-
moving the braces after picking the
p lock with a skeleton key. Captain OF
Detectives Petersen has detailed sew
eral men on the case.
The local police were notified by the
Heine piano company Of 81 Stockton
street San Francisco, this morning
that the firm had sold a Victor talking
machine worth $40 10 a man who gave
Oakland address and successfully
passed himself as a well to do mer-
chant. The address proved bogus and
both man and machine are being
sought.
