able there will be a spirited discussion;
but most of these problems undoubt-
edly will be threshed out in committee,
or at least so nearly adjusted that but
little more than a formal disposition
of the questions will be taken by the
conference.
The first session of the conference,
May IA in Blanchard hall, passed off
without the least discord or dissension
and was declared the most harmonious
ever held in the city.
1t is desired by the Democrats who
participated in this conference that
the adjourned session at Long Beach
be equally as harmonious. The abb
sence of the deposed machine" lead
ers, such as Eddie Morris, Tony
Schwamm, r. F. Goings and others,
has had a decidedly encouraging eff
feet, and guided by a higher purpose
than these men injected into former
conventions the delegates are no long
er led into such disgraceful contro-
Versies.
Good Government" is now the only
slogan of the Democrats, and they
seem to be working as diligently and
as harmoniously for this end in county
affairs as is the city administration
in municipal affairs, or as is the Lin
coin Roosevelt league or Good Gov
ernment organization.
Delegates from every important
town in the county will attend the
conference today. Among all of these
delegates there are none identified with
the 'old guard" The general COM
mittee, which has selected the candi-
dates, is composed of many Good Gov
ernment workers, prominently identi-
fed with civic reforms and progressive
politics.
Chairman Norton stated yesterday
that Calvert Wilson has withdrawn
from the race for superior judge. The
three Democratic candidates now out
for this nomination are Judge Cyrus
f. McNutt, formerly on the bench in
Indiana and one of the best known
leading Democrats; Stephen G. Long
of Long Beach and Justice Albert Lee
stephens, at present township justice.

REPUBLICANS CORNER
PETITION SIGNATURES
LinCoIn-RooseveIt Candidates Ex-
perience Difficulty in Finding
Voters Not Declared

As a result of the excessive number
of signatures which are being obtained
for the petitions of several regular Re-
publican candidates for county office
1t was learned yesterday that the Lin
coin Roosevelt league candidates are
going to have a most strenuous time
securing enough names to go before
the primaries, If, indeed, they can get
even the legal minimum.
District Attorney Fredericks, In the
race for denomination, is stated to have
already obtained more than 10000 Sig
natures TO his petition for renomina-
ton.
E. r. Werdin, regular Republican
candidate for sheriff against William
Hammel incumbent, also admits, 1t is
said, that he has obtained more than
$4,000 signatures to his petition.
Sheriff Hammel, on the other hand,
is reputed to have more than 10000
signatures.
The number of signatures necessary
for each of these candidates is 4200
votes, which is 10 per cent of the total
vote of the party in Los Angeles
county. What the effect Of this will
be is yet problematical, but litigation
is seriously threatened, and before the
primaries, 1t is predicted, a number of
candidates will read the direct primary
law in new light.
The league has indorsed ]. H. De La
Monte, however, for sheriff against
Werdin and Hammel, and 1t is reported
that as a result OF the excessive num-
ber of signatures "cornered" by Wer-
din and Hammel 1t is a laborious task
for De La Monte to obtain signatures
for himseuf.
Werdin and Hammel between them
have sacked" $50 voters in Los An
geles county which does not leave
many for their league rival. De La
Monte, however, is not discouraged,
and his petition bearers report that
they expect soon to be able to get the
desired number.
The situation is rendered exceeding
complex, nevertheless, for 1t Is feared
that many voters will feel compelled to
vote for the candidates whose petitions
they have signed. although warnings
already have been sent to voters noti
flying them that this is a mistake. The
voter at the time he signs petition
swears merely that 1t is his intention
at that time to support the petitioner
at the primaries, but the law does not
compel him to do So for he can change
his mind and vote for anyone he likes.
Petitions are not binding to the voter.

SAILORS APPEAR
IN MINSTREL SHOW
j. F. Emerson, Who Pulls Nails
With Teeth, Is Star
Attraction

Before a throng of enthusiastic on
rum. Fillmore and Fell streets, last
night, the members of the minstrel
troupe of the L. S. S. Colorado went
through the stunts that brought them
fame a few months ago in Bremerton
and Olympia. The proceeds were de-
voted to the drug and bugle corps of
the Spanish war veterans.
Chief among the attractions was the
strong man of the navy j. +. En-
erson, who accomplished feats that
would bring him fortune upon the
stage of a vaudeville theater. In fact
Emerson has been told this so repeat
edly that he has applied for his release
from the navy and win soon appear in
vaudeville.
Emerson is % years of age and be-
fore entering the navy was a black
smith.
One of Emerson's specialties is to
take a 60 penny steel spike. drive 1t
through > inch plank with his. fist
and then. graspng it with his teeth,
pull II from the board. Emerson
weighs bat 16o pounds and to outward
appearances seems to possess no un-
usual strength.
lie is able to bend a 80 penny spike
with his fingers, thrust the ends in his
mouth and force it into the form of
big staple. Another speciality is to
grasp a half inch manila rope, which
the manufacturers guarantee TO stand
a strain of 1900 pounds, and break it
with his fingers.
One of his best specialties consists of
holding in his mouth a seven -eighths
inch iron bar while two of his COM
panions put their full weight on each
end. bending ii into a L shape. A fav-
orite trick is to have 100 pound stone
placed on his head and then broken by
sledge hammers in the hands of his
comrades.
Emerson has given several exhibi
tions at Bremerton and Tacoma and
will give more when the ship returns
TO the north. The public Will also be
admitted to an exhibition to be given
aboard the Colorado Friday night of
this week At the Bremerton exhibit
tion the proceeds were large enough
to pay the expenses of sc delegates of
the Spanish war veterans from Brem-
erton TO North Yakima and return. All
of the exhibitions given by the troupe
have been for the benefit of the Span
ish war veterans.
There were any other interesting
features of last nights entertainment
sketches, monologues, songs and all the
numbers that go to make a minstrel
show. Among those who took part
were:
