Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 30.-War

coming over the levees," said Commits

BOASTS OF
Progressive STRENGTH

San Francisco, Jan. 30.-Governor
Hiram johnson was jubilant today over
the strength the Progressive party is
showing throughout California in the
1914 registration race. Although the
Republicans SO far have been in the
lead, the governor expressed conf
dence that his party will overcome this
difference before the registration books
close on May 27.
Up to date the Republicans have
shown the greatest strength in Los
Angeles and San Diego. In each place
they lead the Progressives by about
1000 voters. In San Francisco the
Republicans are about 400 ahead, and
the Democrats about half hundred.
Seventeen centers of population recent
ly showed the Republican registration
to about 9,706; Progressives 1925 and
Democrats 5,426.
"The figures show" said Governor
johnson today, ga phenomenal regis
tration Of Progressives. Here is new
party that in a few days registers al
most 1000 more members than one Of
the cid parties, and 1900 less than the
other old party The present registra
tion represents only about one-twenty-
fifth of the total vote that will be cast
in November when a full state ticket
and a successor to United States Sena-
tor Perkins will be elected. / expect
the Progressive candidates to poll more
votes than the combined vote of all
other candidates.
"When it is understood that regis
tration does not mean the voting
strength of candidates in any respect,
and that most of the people register
from force of habit or tradition, the en-
rolment Of the California Progressive
party is nothing more than astounding.
The Republicans and the Democrats
have already shown how they fear the
results by their present activities. On
the other hand the Progressive party
has not done one-half the work that
the other parties have done and they
have shown better results.

DingwelPs that came near turning the
edge of his wife's love. He was IN
London at the time and had half
finished one of the daily phonograph
records to his wife when he suddenly
recalled that he had neglected matt
ter upon which depended the success
of the negotiations that had taken
him so far from New York. He shut
off the machine and darted off to seq
his man and take other steps neces-

hotel, turned on the monograph rec

talk to his wife.

off the fateful cylinder to America

the monograph and Dingwall heard

of love. Suddenly, in the very middle
of one of these protestations of affee2'
