up a full set Of candidates and is
throwing as great energy into the
contest as it has exhibited on more
promising ground elsewhere. Prohi-
bition and socialist activities thicken
the complications. and while the two
old parties seek to hold their lines
intact by talking on state affairs, the
pressure for a wider scope Of cleo

That the republican split is apt to
cut the old-time majorities down to

At Washington. d. @.

On his return from a trip to Ohio,
where he went to confer with repub-
lican leaders and to look over the sit
uation, Ralph D. Cole of Findlay, for
mer member of the house and now
special attorney for the comptroller Of
the treasury. reported to the president
and other leaders in Washington that
the outlook is exceedingly bright for

should make a change. They do not
want free trade; hence they DE- not

of Col. Roosevelt is appealing to them

president Taft certainly is entitled
to reelection. He has redeemed. or
tried to redeem. all the pledges made
by the party in it's platform. and he
has a RECORD in his three years service

California Making Great Strides.
California as a progressive state in
more ways than politica! preference is
the hobby of Frank Bacon of Noun
tain View, Cal.
In the last ten years California has
jumped from the sixteenth state OF
the union to ninth. and in another ten
ear it will be third. and probably
second Ny. Bacon declared. We
have everything any other state has
and many things none other has, and
our agriculture, mining and manufac-
turing industries are taking giant
strides in the worlds commerce.
w have been handicapped in get
ting u goods to markets, and freight
rates have made competition with the
east almost impossible. but when the
Panama canal is opened o will sec

ever has made, for then we can push
our line of sales operations beyond

been the production of this cactus

louS attention that is paid to the hor-
