BOURBON JOURNALISTS
DISCUSS PARTY PLANS
Political Policies to Conform
With Primary Pledges

STOCKTON, Sept. 4.-Some 80 editors
and political writer's of the democratic
papers of California gathered in this
city tonight to discuss party policies as
they will be considered tomorrow by
the state convention. Under the direct
primary law the convention will only
adopt platform to which the nom
inees selected at the primaries will be
bound by their party pledges. The
primary campaign utterances of the
candidates will be considered also and
resolutions indorsing their attitude on
state and national issues will be pre-
scented. This viii constitute the bust
ness of the gathering, and as harmony
has been the keynote of democratic
activities throughout the primaries
little of more than routine Importance
is expected to transpire during the
sessions of the convention.
The convention will be called to order
tomorrow afternoon and the platform
and resolutions committees immedi-
ately begin their labors. Adjournment
will be taken in honor of Labor day,
however, and it is improbable that
there will be any action until Tuesday.

editorial association tonight a number
of candidates addressed the newspaper
men. State Senator John d. Sanford of
Ukiah presided and at the conclusion
of the open meeting an executive ses-
sion was orered, at which numerous
resolutions were considered.

STEEL PRODUCTION HAS
MUCH BETTER OUTLOOK
Business Picks Up With the
September Orders

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The last few
days of August contributed new orders
for finished steel products that in
creased the daily average sales of the
steel corporation subsidiaries by about
5000 tons. The new business was not
sufficient to rescue August from being
the dullest month of the year, but the
significant feature is that the last four
days of August and the first four days
of September have developed more in
quiries, some increase in sales, a more
hopeful sentiment and a more cheerful
tone.
New orders received during the first
three weeks of August were scarcely
enough to keep a third of the mill
capacity busy, but today the current
sa les amount to nearly 43 per cent.
Shipments of all steel products ex-
ceeded the new business taken by
about so per cent, and the distribution
of wire products was especially notable,
shipments in August having been only
once exceeded. Railroad equipment
purchases were light. but October is
expected to develop more business.
