passengers, three women and two men,
the big balloon City of Los Angeles,
which ascended al Huntington park
today. sailed over the mountains and
was lost for seven hours.

air voyagers arrived in this city to-
night safe and sound They had landed
nine miles north of Burbank, a village
at the upper apex of the San Fer
nando valley, and found the owner Of
an isolated ranch who was willing to
take them to the railroad station in
a wagon.
Mrs. Ida Gregory of Chicago. one
of the passengers, became violently i'll
as the balloon swept over the crest of
the mountains. but recovered before
reaching the city. Beyond the fright
experienced while several thousand
feet in the air. her companions, Miss
Bertha Freund of Cincinnati, and Miss
Nav Myers of San Bernardino, Cal, suf-
fered no I'll effects. The women were

the cottage of Albert Wood. 1924 Pierce
street and blew three windows out of
the adjoining cottage of Fritz Kerth
occurred while fremen were lighting
a fire in the Wood cottage shortly after
o'clock yesterday morning. Wood
said that the only thing that could
have caused it was FIVE gallon can

Curtiss received a new machine at
the grounds this morning. 1t is Of the
same type as his others. 1t was an
nounced at the Curtiss tent that he
would try to fly today in demonstration
that the Wright patents, over which
court action has been taken, are not
necessary to the success of his ma
chine
Frank Johnson of san Francisco be-
gan TO assemble his Curtiss machine
early today preparatory to flight
Charles r. Willard brought his Cur
tiss No 10 on the field and announced
that he was ready TO fly at any time
New wheels have arrived for the
multiplane constructed after two years
of hard work by J. =. Zerbe of Los
Angeles. Zerbe iss one of the most
enthusiastic aviators on the field. His
first 2ttempt at flight with his machine
met with disaster, but he still main
tains that he will beat them all
At noon clouds again overcast the
sky and the pilots of the airships
feared then that the day would not
turn out well for any record breaking
feats.
AS the time for the official events
drew near-2 oclock-the sun again
broke through the clouds. The wind
was barely stirring.
Hamilton aroused the delight of the
crowd, which had grown to as vast pro-
portions as the day before, by making
a complete circuit of the field in his
Curtiss biplane. On the home stretch
he approached as close to the grand
stand as the rules permitted, sailing at
a height of 80 feet.
He made three complete circuits of
the pylons and landed at the starting
place easily. No official record was
made.
Curtiss and Willard, brought their
machines out and prepared TO ascend.
At 1:50 Curtiss started in a qualify
ing flight After a preliminary circuit
he started on a time flight
His time was 2:24 2-5, 10 seconds be-
hind his record of yesterday, which is
the record of the course. The second
lap was made in 2:2S 3-5 and the third
in 1892 Is. He landed at the starting
place safely.
PauIhan intfmated that he may yet
essay fight to San Diego, which lies
more than 100 miles southwark in an
airline from the Dominguez aviation
field.
After enthusiastic visitors from the
southern city had presented Paulhan
with the $500 silver cup trophy Tor MS
thrilling achievement they extended
him a pressing invitation TO visit San
Diego 'at your convenience"
Paulhan replied: Not mine. but my
engines convenience.
When he was asked today if that
meant that he would attempt such a
flight he answered;
TT is not impossible. In endurance
tests other aviators have travelled more
than 100 miles, though never between
cities that far apart.
Then he recalled the fact that Cur
tfss' machines have fuel capacities for
flights of 10 hours duration at 80 miles
an hour, and remarked that. as his
Farman biplanes were much larger,
with correspondingly larger motors and
tanks, he saw no reason why he should
not make such a flight.

Will be an important factor in de-

insurgency, and all that it means, is
just as much an issue IN this state
this fall as it must be in the presiden-
tial campaign two years hence. Since
being elevated to the highest office in
the state, it has been Governor
Eberilart's great misfortune to be
adopted by the stand.pat element OF
the republican party. In his anxiety
to stand we'll with Pres. Taft. the
governor made an ill-advised promise
to deliver Minnesota bodily into the
hands If the federal machine, and, in
his efforts to abide by that promise,
he has surrounded himself with the
worst type OF professional politicians
and corporation lobbyists IN his
party. If the voters of Minnesota do
not rise to their opportunity, Ed
Smith and the Big Business crowd
will elect Eberhart. If however, the
progressives of both partlesh rally to
the support OF Progressive James
Grey, good government will win
another tremendous victory. - @&

The following resolution was unani-

the Clay county bar:
The undersigned members OF the
bar of Clay county desire to express
our high regard for Hon. C, A. Nye,
who has been favored with the dem
ocratlc nomination tor Judge of the
Seventh judicial district. We recognize
that the judicial Office should be non
partisan, that the politics of the nom
inee ought not to be considered but
rather the ability and fitness of the
candidate for the position. AS prac-
tltioner before the bar of this district
We have had ample opportunity to
become personally acquainted with
Mr.. Nye, both as lawyer and as a
man.. He has been engaged in the
active practice of the law here for
the past twenty-five years, and dur
ing that time has been connected
with and personally conducted much
of the important litigation in this
part of the district, and has built uE
a practice which honesty, ability and
attention to business alone could rea-
lie. We believe he is eminently
qualified for a position on the bench
and that if elected he will conduct
the office with justice and impair

Springfield Republican: constant
Reader" is again asking the old ques-
ton: What are our national holidays?
And the answer is the old one-there
are none, that IS. none authorized by
Congress. Only July and Christmas
are the legal holidays in all the states
and territories. Even Washington e
birthday Is not a legal holiday. in
Mississippi, though having observance
there. THANKSGIVING day IS observed
all over the country, but it is not a
legal holiday in some states. Labor
day IS generally observed and is a
legal holiday in all. the states except,
we believe, North Dakota and Louis
lana. Memorial day is legal holi-
day throughout the North, but not IN
the South. Some IA states make Lin
coins birthday (Feburary 24) legal
holiday. New-year's day is a legal
holiday in all states save Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Missis-
slppi. Columbus day is now legal
holiday in Massachusetts,, New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and two or
three other states.

Staples Headlight (Rep); Atty. c..
A. Nye, of Moorhead, was IN the city
Tuesday interviewing the voters in
regard to his candidacy for the judge
ship of this district. Mr.. Nye has
the appearance of q man emlnently
we'll qualified for the position and
impresses one as q competent, safe and
reliable man fol- this important Office.
This is position where personal
qualification as to: competency, char
acter and integrity should determine
which candidate to- support. There
should be no such thing as a judicial
decision favored with politics and the
best way to avoid such possibility IL
to disregard party lines IN electing
Judges. A judge who IS elected with
out reference to his party affilIiation
IS in better position to serve the
public than one who owes something
to party organization for his Office. It
is OF no consequence what judge 8
politics are but it is vitality important
what sort of man the Judge is. The
Office of district judge is very i'm
portant one in its relation to the
people and 1t IS the part of wisdom to
exercise great care in the selection OF
a incumbent. Atty. Nye comes re-
commended by the bar association of
his home county, has q fine reputation
both as lawyer and citizen. is right IN
the prime of robust manhood and to
all outward appearances, is worthy and
well qualified. His candidacy Is en-
titled to favorable consideration by
reason of Nr. Nye's geographical loca-
ton, --Moorhead.- being ON the extreme
western edge Of the district while st..
Cloud, the home of Judge Taylor, is
we'll to- the east. All things considered
Mr.. Nye's candidacy has much to
commend it and his election appears
tho proper, logical and: reasonable
procedure. under existing conditions in
this judicial district # >*, -; j ,:y.,:.

The Seventh district for years has
stood by the principle of a non-parti-
son judiciary. 1t is manifestly un-
tar, IN the face of the fact that the
retiring judge IS democrat, to in
Ject partisan politics into the judicial
election by urging that q republican
judge be elected. The democrats of
the district supported Judge Taylor
gladly, although he was a republican,
and turn about ia fair play. Espe-
cially is this true when the democratic
candidate, Hon. q. A. Nye, is known
to be eminently fitted for the bench. a
man of learning, of experience of in
tegrity and ability. Mr.. Nye, it Is
admitted has all the qualifications q
judge should have and would grace the
bench. He should he elected by q
large majority and rank partisanship

SHAMELESS OVERrURES.

Republicans is due the fact that the
country knows it IS now and even
more under the control of special in
terests than it actually is. They have
stood against the most powerful
weapon usurpatioD can WELD. And
now that they have won their fight for
principle, the president offers them
the patronage they rejected as the
price of votes. The Progressives have
not fought for patronage. They have
fought against the legislation that the
president and his advisers have sought
to force upon them. We are not in.
