Little Tommy Peter-kin
Said he thought it was a sin
For boys to throw a baited hook
Into a pretty running brook,
So that fishes swimming there
Might be caught thus by the snare
He said the fishes should be told
That a hook the bait did hold
And that if they cared to bite
After that. they had the right!
But he did not know that they
Can't understand what people say.

JOHNSON WINS NOMINATION.
Anti Machine Candidate Leads II
California Republican Primaries.

San Francisco. Aug. 17.-That Califor-
mia is insurgent in its Republican politics
was proved yesterday beyond question
when Hiram Johnson, leading exponent
of anti-machine doctrines, swept the field
in the direct primaries, winning his par
tvs nomination for governor by a plural
ity that will border on $1,000 when all re-
turns are in. For United States senator
to succeed Frank p. Flint. an advisory
vote was recorded and, while the returns
are far from complete. John d. Works.
running with the same backing as that
accorded johnson, seems to have tri-
umphed. The other state offices will also
be filled by insurgent tendencies if COM
pleted counts follow out the lines of the
first returns
The Democrats entered the primaries
nees and Theodore Bell will make the
fight against Johnson for election.
In the Republican gubernatorial fight
around which the whole contest centered,
Johnson had an easy victory over Charles
F. Curry, running on the strength of his
own political machine. and Allen Ander-
son. the Regular was hopelessly dis
tanced
The question now before the voters Of
the state is the election itself. Demo-
cratic leaders are declaring supreme con-
fidence in Bells ability to defeat John
son. Bell and Johnson have made SINH
lar declarations of principles. The battle
will be one of personality.

for the Maine Central on College ave-
nue., was right on to his job Wednes-

turned them over to the other officers,
who took them to the station and lock-

was continued. Fearing detection they
crossed the platform and started down
College avenue. When near the lower
crossing the trouble broke out anew.
Two of the men jumped on the third
one and proceeded to give him vigor-
Gus kicking.
1t was then that Mr.. FULLY. who is

An Awful Jolt for
Mayor Fitzgerald.

Boston. Aug. 1.-THE executive poll
tcies Of Mayor John F. Fitzgerald re-
ceived grilling tonight in report is
sued by the Boston Finance Commits
sion. That the mayor Has either fail
ed to realize his great opportunity or
he has deliberately chosen to reject it,
is the general comment of the report.
The commission finds that MANY ap-
peintments are, made in consideration
of personal support given to the mayor
for purely political purposes" and that
Mayor Fitzgeraid's policy If followed
further, will lead inevitably to a restor-
alton OF the spells system"
The Office of city collector is being ex-
plotted for political purposes by the
mayor. Water Commissioner William
E. Hannah is dominated by the mayor
and City Collector B. S. Parker, zap
pointed for political services. is dis
charging his obligations to the mayor
by removing experienced officials and
appointing in their place political sup
porters of the mayor" according to the
finding Of the commission.

on & TdeasAaay Il last week. The state
ment was contained In q bulletin issued
at s15 o'clock tonight instead of at $50
as heretofore.
Reports from the hospital that the bull
.lstins- from the mayors bedside were
masking the whole truth were widely
current this afternoon and evening with
considerable basis for credence beneath
them
The assertion was credited to Robert
Adamson, the mayors secretary. that the
mayors condition today was fully as Sc
rious as at any time since he was shot
eight days ago Other reports had 1t that
the glands in the mayors neck had be-
gun to swell. indicating the development
of dreaded blood poisoning; and from
this It was reasoned that If the swelling
increased. pressure on one OF The blood
vessels abrased by the passage of the
bullets might induce a hemorrhage with
immediate fatal results.
Secretary Adamson answered all these
statements which had found their way
into print with a fiat denial. None of the
doctors in attendance would even discuss
them. There remains the fact that there
has arisen consciousness among those
in touch both with the public and the sick
room that the official bulletins are rigor-
ously confined to the stated symptoms.
and that at no time have they ventured
on an assertion that the mayor is out of
danger or any definite prognosis of his
recovery.
Counterbalancing the disquieting ru-
mors. the mayor was able today to eat
milk. toast and eggs. the nearest ap-
proach to solid food since he was wound
ed. The immediate members of his fam
lily see him only for brief intervals and
nobody else but the doctors. Secretary
Adamson and the nurses see him at all.
