Street Contractors Must Cover
Trenches.

San Francisco, Cal.-The street
committee Of the supervisors has
adopted a resolution calling on the
board of public works to provide in
specification on bids for street work
that all trenches and bitches opened
in. street roadways shall be covered
at night with planking. This pre-
caution was suggested by an acct
dent recently on Valcenia street.
The expense of covering an entire
trench with planks is expected to
encourage prompt work on the part
of the contractors in filling up the
trenches and to discourage the prac'
tice of leaving long stretches OF
ctreet roadway open indefinitely.

flatly the charge OF twenty citizens

other federal officeholdders have
been holding political meetings and
taking active interest in city, county

IN CONVENTION YESTERDAY.
Situation as Seen in Baltimore by W.
e. Gonzales.

Columbia State, July 2:
Convention Hall, Baltimore, July 1.
There was nothing especially sig
nificant in the balloting today that
was not indicated in the voting Satur-
day. There was slow by steady
shrinkage of the Clark vote and a
steady but more rapid advance Of Will
sons. The New Jersey governor got
the larger part of the Indiana vote
when that state gave up the attempt
to carry Marshall and several minor
breaks occurred in Clark states. There
was a break in Underwood's lines, two
of Florida's delegates going to Will
son.
At this hour az midnight) the 41st
ballot has been taken. This is the 18th
today. Wilson passed the 500 mark on
the 40th ballot but dropped one vote
below that figure on the 42nd.
In the twenty six ballots before to-
day Wilson gained 80 votes in the Is
taken so far today he has gained SO.
Clark dropped from 469 on the first
ballot today to 424 on the 41st ballot.
All the evening breaks to Wilson
were expected in the Washington and
Illinois delegations, but although it is
known there is a majority Of Wilson
men in the Washington delegation
they have so far refrained from COM
ing into the open.
1t is difficult to find what the Un-
derwood men base their hope that
encourages them to hang on. They
may be expecting something in the
nature Of a miracle Nothing less is
likely to benefit their persistence. Will
sons forces are, Of course, stronger
today that yesterday, and are conf
dent of holding their present advan-
tage of being the leading candidate.
The fight may end tonight, but it may
not come for another day or two
and until all ballot records have been
broken. William Gonzales

The real issue confronting the coun-
try has never been made before in a
national convention as at Baltimore.
There have always been influences or
sinister design in every convention,
and there will always be such infiu-
ences. Heretofore the custom of op-
posing forces has been to treat each
other with consummate courtesy and
to avoid putting into words truths
that both sides know and feel. The
Chicago convention was composed of
an almost even divide Of Conservative
and Progressive forces, and both sides
understood the issue; but there was
very little plain talk. Each side con-
Quoted itself as If walking on egg
shells. Both sides seemed to have in
mind that winning in the election Is
the most important thing, and
neither was willing to declare truths
that might estrange the other. During
his sixteen years as candidate,
Mr.. Bryan has not only learned the
real issues and the individuals who
stand for them; but has become IA
miliar with the methods that are gen.
orally bad. He understands how the
big interests caring absolutely moth
ing about the so called principles Of
either party manage to control both
parties by standing in with them. He
has seen the Belmonts and the Ryans
seduce and betray Democratic dele
gates in times past and influence q
Progressive convention to nominate
re-actionary candidates: he has seen
the same element when it could not
prevent the nomination of a Progress
sive candidate, manage to tie him
hand and foot and secure his betrayal
by placing his fortunes in the hands
of a national committee that was an
tagonistic to him. He has seen many
conventions. He has seen men go TO
Democratic conventions with the os-
tensible purpose Of trying to choose
leaders who could win, deliberately
devote themselves to the more diff
cult task Of turning over the party
flag to men who could be the more
easily defeated by the other side. He
has seen his party made the victim OF
all kinds Of treachery, and he has been
devoting himself to change in the
old proceedings. That Is why he began
the fight against Parker on the tenn
porary craftsmanship, why later he in
troduced his resolution against the
Morgan -BelmontRyan crowd, and
why still later he went back on Champ
Clark and let it be known that Muir
phys Tammany delegation should not
name the nominee. 1t took knowledge,
experience and courage to make the
fight that Mr.. Bryan made.

There are those who insist that 1t Is
all wrong for the Democratic conven-
ton to sit down on the New York del
egation for the reason that New York
is absolutely necessary for Democratic
success. This view may be correct;
but If New York insists on having her
way, and New York's way is not the
Democratic way, it is better to lose,
lighting New York than to win by sur
rendering all that Is supposed to be
worth fighting for. While it will have
to be admitted that New York has al
ways been on the prevailing side here
tofore, it Is possible to carry the coun-
try without New York; but more than
that the great masses of New Yorks
voters very probably are about as tir-
ed Of Tammany's bossism as Is the
rest Of the country.

Senator Ferker said that the measure
was intended as one Of prohibiting and
not as a revenue bill. The Tippins
bill, of which he is a strong support
er, he said, was continually criticised
because it planned to take 100000
annually from the states income.
"These two bills" continued the Mon
roe senator, will not only prevent
drinking and put blind tigers out Of
business. but net the state considerable
money. There will be no excuse for
not passing the Tippins bill after such
legislation as this. Then we will have

that will really prohibit"

which Mr.. Wilson had deliberately
spurned. To be sure Mr.. Bryan made
the thing more emphatic in the con-

ton was only in confirmation Of what
Wilson had already done.

1t is to be noted that good many of
the people are shouting for one or the
other of the Democratic candidates
without being able to tell why. For
instance there are those who claim to
be Progressive and who say they are
for Harmon, and those who say they
are Conservative and name Wilson as
their choice. But most people seem to
understand the difference between
Conservative and Progressive. and not
a few are beginning to claim that all
the so-called Conservatives properly
belong in the party headed by Mr..
Taft.

There are good many people who

help matters. If we had any sympa-

think that way also.
