THE NOMINEE is THE ISSUE.

The fight at Baltimore to force the adoption Of
progressive platform has been won, apparently.
But the with which it was won gives rise to
q suspicion that the reactonary forces willing
to let Bryan and his associates have the PLATFORM
if the bosses name the candidate.
lnaSmuch, the order Of business has been
changed so that the platform will not adopted until
after the nomination has been made, the Bosses
have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If
they lose the nomination, they will not fig
about the platform, for the fat will be in the fire
in so far as their interests are concerned.
But if they succeed in selecting a reactionary
pseudo-progressive the candidate they we'll
appear to offset this by turning about and adopting
a radical platform. What difference to the Bosses
who writes the platform, if they pick the man who
is to dispose Of it? The gift without the gver is
bare" progressive platform in the hands of one
not in sympathy with it would be meaningless.
Mr.. Bryan would be playing good politics if, in
event the Bosses named the candidate, he should
throw his influence in favor of platform that would
harmonic with the nominee and hang the reaction
ary forces by their own moose, as Roosevelt did al
Chicago.

AGREEMENT REACHED BY
RECEIVER AND NO. 8 CO.

Brawley News.-According to let
ter received from Judge Haines, at.
torney for Water Company No. 8, it
is probable that an adjustment may
be reached with Receiver HOlabird of
the California Development company
regarding the various matters that
have been cause of trouble between
the respective parties at interest.
Several weeks ago preliminary ar
rangements were entered into to sell
the l3,04O shares of No. stock, owned
by the California Development com
Dany, and sold at delinquent sale, with
suit pending in the appellate court.
If the tentative arrangements had
been carried out the stock would have
been sold at $40 share and the pro
ceeds placed in escrow, to be disposed
of as the court might direct upon the
conclusion Of The suit
Judge BUrdwell has disapprOved
this contract, and Attorney Mathews,
representing the receiver. is now negO-
tiating with Judge Haines a plan
whereby the receiver OF The CalifOr-
mia Development company may rclin-
qulsh all claim 10 this stock if the No
s company will agree to relieve that
company Of any obligation to complete
it's canal system. III this plan is
adopted all suits will be Withdrawn.

it's is electoral votes into the Rebub-
lican column.
An idea of how very doubtful Mis-
souri, is can be obtained by glance
at the small majority by which Taft
was elected in 1908 out of total of
$4,000. A change OF less than 320
would have swung the state to Bryan.
Outside of Missouri, however, Gov
ernor Hadley could not hope to add
anything like the strength to the
ticket that Governor JOhnsOn's candi-
dacy would. While Governor Hadley
has made a commendable record it
does not compare with the remarka-
BILE achievements of the Johnson ad-
ministration, in fact, the strength of
the Johnson boom lies in the fact that
he has a nationwide reputation for
doing things on a broad, strong basis.
Other candidates may have local
strength to commend them for con-
sideration. but none had the general
national character of the johnson
candidacy.
