The University of California will ask
from the next legislature, among other
things, an appropriation of $4,000 for
agricultural Investigations in Imperial
county, for the experiment station at
Meloland. More than half the total ap-
preparation asked for by the legisla-
ture is for agriculture, and much of
this work is economic in nature rather
than educational In a letter sent out
by the university, the statement is
made that agriculture is the most eX-
pensive form of modern educational
and scientific work. Yet in no way
can the state eXpend money with such
certainty of immense return in the
way Of actual material enrichment for
the community and in the improve
ment of living conditions for the com
munity as a whole"

PROGRESSIVE CHAIRMAN
GIVES ESTIMATE OF VOTE

CHICAGO, Oct. 30-That Roosevelt
and Johnson will receive a total of g.,
117,O0O votes in the coming election. a
margin of 46s,10O over Wilson, who
will run second in the race, and that
the Progressive ticket will have no
less than 2S7 votes in the electoral col
lege, 81 more than enough for cleo
ton, is the confident prediction made
last night by Senator Joseph M. Dixon
national chairman of the Progressive
party.
His prediction is based upon the most
accurate information obtainable, and
Senator Dixon. in making public his
prediction, calls attention to the fact
that if it errs, it probably errs on the
conservative side, as it lis founded on
the same sort of information which en-
abled him to forecast pretty accurately
just what would happen in the pre-
convention primaries.
That Wilson will not poll the vote
given to Bryan four years ago, and
that he will poll nearly a million Taft
Republican votes, is one of the inter-
esting features of the prediction. He
bases this on careful reports, which
bear out the general impression that
laboring men are not friendly to the
Democratic candidate, because of his
known expression of contempt for
them while a professor at Princeton
university, both in his speeches and
writings. He expects the Socialists 10
poll heavier vote than last year, in
creasing to almost 100000, and ex-
poets the Prohibitionist vote to ap-
proximate the 25O,OOO the ticket re-
ceived last year.
DiNOns Statement
Senator Dixon's statement, in part. is
as follows:
In the presidential election eight
years ago, Roosevelt received a popular
plurality of 2,545,OO9 votes, the largest
plurality ever received before or since
that time. There were cast four years
ago for president 14,23S,442, the Re-
publican candidate receiving 1853, ,9OS,
the Socialist 420,793, Prohibitionist 252,-
4S0, scattering 1885, 1877.
Taking the average increase in the
voting strength of the nation, there
should be cast this election about 49,
1000.
The Socialist vote this year will be
largely increased over four years ago
believe Debs will receive approx
mately 100000. This increased Social
ist vote will be largely drawn from the
vote cast for Bryan four years ago,
approximately in the ratio of three
from the Bryan vote to one from the
/ Taft vote in 1908
There are approximately 1,OOO, 900
foreign born voters, including Poles,
HunSarians, Bohemians, Italians,
Greeks and others, who heretofore
/ have regularly voted the Democratic
ticket, but who this year undoubtedly
viii not vote for Wilson because of his
cOntemptuous charac erization OF them
in his lectures and in his book Wilson
will only receive about 10 per cent OF
this vote.
Mr.. Wilson's widely known un-
| friendly opinion of organized labor re-
peatedly expressed will cost him many
| hundred thousand labor votes that
| were cast for Bryan four years ago.
| There will be approximately 500, ,O0C
! first voters votes east Fifty pei
cent of this class of voters is 70,

An accident in the second round
stopped a likely bout between Battling

Then n. r. Williams, of Fit. Bliss. gave
a French horn solo, and Frank Delaney

LITTLE HEBREW WAS

The more one hears Of the aftermath
Of the Attell-Murphy bout the more one

a deal Of praise. How many men are
there in the world who could give
away close to 10 pounds and put up the

The one criticism that Abe seems to
deserve was his lack OF generalism. H
should never have mixed with the
Harlem boy. But when you consider
that Attell was out to regain the lau-
rels he lost to Kilbane, you can readi-
" see that he feared If he stood off
and merely boxed that the sporting
scribes would not take very kindly to
his exhibition.
