equal show to crafty his proclivities.
! Does he like to take a long chance
in politics, he will pick out some like
| ly dark horse and industriously tout
the chances of his choice. Perhaps the
long shot will win, and then the man
who backs him cashes in handsomely
and gets credit besides for extraordi-
nary sagacity.
just now the political woods are full
of dark horses. Were one making a
book on the situation many of the pos
sible candidates would be quoted at
about one million to one. But the stu
alton is unusually open this presi-
Dental year. There is fairish crop
of favorites, and a larger number of
second choice. True, Taft and Clark
seem just now to be the first choices,
if one will but read the claims of their
literary bureaus; but then Roosevelt,
Wilson, Harmon, Underwood and La
Toilette, so their managers say, ought
to be chalked up as odds-on favorites.
It leaves hardly any one who can be
called second choice.
Hail DR.. Wiley.
But hold; here enters DR.. Harvey
Wiley into the ring. DIR. Wiley, who
has just been forced out of the govern
ment service; DR.. Wiley, champion of
pure food and woman suffrage, and
number of other things. Why, DIR.
Wiley has more than enough very good
planks stored away in his woodshed to
build a first class platform, but he
could make fairish sort of run on
the two mentioned. Everyone is for
pure food, except few manufacturers
of synthetic food stuffs, and there are
enough women voters this year to
make any candidate desirous of pleas
ing them And DR.. Wiley is an anti
tobacconist. What would be strong
er card with the women votersa
An attempt was made last week by
to pre-empt DR.. Wiley Wilson
and Wiley it was declared, "would
make a great team but how about
and ingenious enough to be proud of
it, will Indiana relinquish its hope of
naming Harmon for first place in or
der to make bid for second with the
doctor? just the same. keep your eye
on Wiley. If h edoesn t get into poll
ties there s no telling what he will do.
Just in passing it may be permitted
to tell the doctor that he will find it
much more difficult now to break
into print than when he was bossing
the pure food show He'll not very
often wake up in the mornino to find
reporters camping on his doorstep
anxious whether the doctor looks so
hearty because he lives up to his
preaching, or whether he's well in
spite of his gestatory independence.
This does not dispose of the ques
tion, who are the second choices? Not
the favorite sons, like Cummins,
Burke, Foss-well, nearly one for each
state. 1t almost looks as if there
were no candidates whom their back
ers will admit are anywhere but in the
first rank.
Exposition With New Ideas.
President d. c. Collier has decreed
that the San Diego exposition shall be
an exposition of ideas.
No one who attends this big educa-
tional and amusement enterprise will
be able to say after he shall have
seen it, that it is "just like" all the
other fairs and expositions he has
ever seen.
The Panama California exposition
will be different.
It will both instruct and entertain,
because it wilP not be constructed af-
ter the hum drum pattern taht has
been followed ever since the British
built the Crystal Palace and we of
| America celebrated the Centennial at
Philadelphia.
/ Not that the industrial features will
be omitted, but the exposition manage
ment will not forget that in a COM
mercial center like San Diego, anyone
can see aggregations of merchandise,
and many kinds of manufacturing en-
terprises, without paying an admis-
sion fee to do so.
To begin with, the plans of the
buildings and grounds are unlike any
thing ever before seen anywhere in
the world.
Imagine a great park, filed with
flowers, palms. masses of tropical
LEAKAGE, fountains and water gardens.
Tn the midst of this beautiful setting
imagine collection of buildings of
the type known as Spanish renaissance,
with white succeed walls, red tiled
roofs, massive towers and colonnaded
cloisters. In the planning and con-
in the world is being employed, at an
expense that one hesitates to particu
larize. and the effects will be mar
velously beautiful. Particularly at
night, under the influnece of the
bright moonlight characteristic of
the latitude and enhanced by the sys
tenn of electric Illumination, the scenes
in the exposition grounds viii be lit
tie short of enchanting.
Progress Of the Work.
Here is the latest from HEADQUARTERS
in San Diego regarding the progress
of work on the exposition of 1915:
"On the site of the exposition hun
dreds of men are at work grading and
building. The administration build
ing is ready TO be occupied by he
offices of the exposition departments.
The service buildings will be finished
by April. The memorial arch over the
south entrance will be dedicated by
the Grand Masonic bodies of the state
! of Califnrnia ON Anril IL The Cali.
