$4,000 WILL VOTE
FOR NE, ELLERY
DECLARES
Good, Clean Business Methods
and Politics Are Advocated
by Candidate
BY NAT ELLERY,
Candidate for Governor

The platform upon which l am con-
Quoting my campaign is as follows:
The state governmental affairs and
the enactment of it's laws should. in
nay opinion, be carried out without any
influence from any corporate or other
powers whatever, save the interests of
the whole people of the state. l believe
in conducting the affairs of California
upon strictly business basis, elimin
ating politics from its institutions
and conducting them in the interests
of the tax payers and the wards OF the
state. / firmly advocate the upbuflding
of our present institutions and not
building new ones to serve certain po-
litical interests when the old institu-
lions need assistance to make them
properly efficient / believe in a state
system of good roads only upon the
basis, however, that a proper system
of maintenance is carried out after
construction. Money spent without
this system of maintenance for roads
is practically lost.
| believe in the reclamation of the
arid and semiarid lands of our state
that we may develop and upbuild it's
industries. The water rights problem
should be handled in such a manner as
to insure the development of these
lands that man of small means may
acquire a moderate tract of this land
and there build home and rear
family. This idea 1 strongly advocate.
From my experience of 10 years as the
head of the department for the state
am convinced that the evils of our
present political system will be elm
mated If we enforce the laws as we
have them, correct their defects after
experience and give each and every
citizen of our state square deal and
fair play and no more
l estimate my total vote at $4,000.

LICHTENBERGER CAN SEE
VICTORY AHEAD
Results Not Rebellion Wanted,
He Declares
BY H. c. LIcHTENBERGER,
Campaign Manager for E. A Meserve

campaign Manager lOI T.. "A McScIVS
Edwin A. Meserye. will be the next
United States senator. from California
The office is the most important within
the gift of the people of the state and
the claims of the several aspirants
will receive the serious consideration
of the voter next Tuesday. The think
ing man will have no hesitancy in max
ing his choice. In the candidacy of
Mr.. Merserve there is more which will
appeal to the Intelligent voter because
Mr.. Meserve is better fitted to repre-
sent California in the United States
senate than any of the other aspirants.
Edwin A. Meserve is IA Californian in
every sense of the word A native of
this state, has lived here all his life,
was educated in her schools, is thor
oughly familiar with her requirements
and knows the state from the Oregon
line to Mexico and from the Sierra to
the sea.
In the full prime of vigorous man
hood, Mr.. Meserve has been blessed
with experience that will make him
valuable representative of California
in the senate. He possesses teXcep
tional ability and. has long been recog-
nized as one of the ablest members of
the legal profession. He is endowed
with logical mind and is a man of
pleasing and forceful personality.
He is going to the senate to get re-
suits, not to start an fnsurrection.
The whole of California at all times,
and San Francisco in particular at this
time, needs a live man in the United
States senate. We need a worker and
we want results
Mr. Meserye's stand against state
division has brought to him the sup
port of thousands of voters irrespective
of DartV Affiliations who want IN or M,
record as unalterably opposed to that
pernicious doctrine. Californian for
California is the slogan which means
victory for Edwin A. Meserve.

SURPRISE PROMISED BY
STATIONS MANAGER
Winfield HOgabOOm Looks for
an Easy Victory
By WINFIELD HOGABOOM,

Campaign Manager for P. A. Stanton
Philip A. Stanton has made the most
comprehensive and thorough campaign
of the state made by any of the repubn-
can candidates for governor, and / be-
lieve that his method of campaigning
has been the most effective in a vote
getting way. And because of this fact
and the further fact that he is the only
candidate for governor coming from
southern California, believe he is GER
tain to be nominated.
No one can deny that southern Cali
fornla is justly entitled to the govern
orship now after having elected both
Pariee and Gillett. Both of these re-
publican governors were defeated when
they came to the Tehachapi line and
southern California turned in and
elected them
There isn't any sectional feeling in
southern California, but there is a
great spirit of fairness, and the re-
publicans, as rule, share in this
spirit and glory in it, too.
Stanton's vote in southern California
viii be tremendous one and there is
going to be surprise for somebody
in the largeness of the vote he will
receive in northern California
At this time. on the eve of the cleo
ton, L can not see. anything TO it but
the nomination of Stanton. His friends
have always said that he needed but a
small per cent of the vote of central
and northern California with the other
four candidates from there splitting
that vote four ways and my best infor-
nation is that he will get twice and
possibly three times the number in
northern California that he will need
to pull him safely through.

governorship. The voters of northern
California are fair minded men and
they know the situation. The result is
easy to prognosticate.

and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. had a physi-
clan treat him. but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end OF about a
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that I had to tie his hands in
cloths at niW: to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.

Romance of Old PORTUGAL

The recent deposition of King Manuel of
Portugal and the events in the young kings
life that led up to it will no doubt bring back
to the minds of some of the older residents
OF the city the story of Elise Hensier the
Springfield girl who married a king and be-
came the Countess Edla.
The king she married was Don Ferdinand
IL. OF Portugal, a great grandfather of King
Manuel. Elise lived in Springfield about 60
years ago, probably for about four yearn.
The Henslers were humble people and
lived simply. The daughters, Elise and Louise,
were we'll received here and were given a
good musical education, especially Elise who
had quite remarkable voice. Signor Guidi,
an Italian, at the time we'll known teacher
OF the voice, took an interest in Elise and it
was when Signor Guidi went to Boston that
the Hensiers went there largely through his
influence. He believed that Elise had a fu-
ture as singer and wished her to be where
he could continue teaching her.
Elise Hensler after her removal with her
family to Boston continued her studies. She
was perseverant in her work and progressed so
we'll that she not only appeared in concerts in
the large cities in this country but also in En-
rope, where she sang before royalty. It was
while singing in Lisbon several years after the
death OF Queen Maria that King Ferdinand
heard her voice and felt the attraction that
led him to marry her.
Ferdinand was the titular king of Portugal
having been the second husband of Queen
Maria II. of Portugal. Ferdinand married
Maria in 1886, when he was 20. The queen
died in 1862 and he was regent during the mi
nority of his son, Pedro ", who was the ia
ther of the assassnated King Carlos the
grandfather of the deposed King Manuel The
regency ended in 1855, and on June 10, 1862
he married Miss Hensler.
When the European powers decided the
time had come to restore Spain to monarchy
following the overthrow of the short republic
which existed from 1873 to 1875 considerable
pressure was brought to bear upon Ferdinand
to induce him to accept the vacant throne.
But his wife could never be queen of SPAIN
and 1t is possible that this fact alone induced
him to refuse.
This absolute refusal on his part to accept
the throne of Spain, with all the pomp and
splendor of royalty in exchange for the roman.
tic life that he was living with his morganatic
wife, had far-reaching consequences. The
plicat1Ons and jealousies resultant the at
tempt to find king acceptable to all the pow.
ers helped to bring on the FrancoPrussian
war, and Alsace and Lorraine went back to
Germany, whence they had been wrested by
Napoleon Bonaparte.
In consequence of these peculiar historical
facts, which geographically practically changed
all western Europe, Elise Hensler Countess
Edla became famous throughout the world as
1.-The woman who changed the map of Europe"
During the life Of the king they lived in the
beautiful castle Of Cintra. It is certain that
their life above reproach. In 1885 the
king died, and after that the countess lived in
retirement in a cottage near the castle.
