She was immaculate in her fresh
varnish and reassuring in her staunch-

crossings, and was proud of the fact
that he had never come down at any

ranching in South Africa, one of the
thousands of men who knew nothing
of flying, but had been made an ex-
pert aviator.

New. York. Oct. 4.-"Wilson will
carry California" says 1sidor Jacobs
of San Francisco. He will win that
state by over 100000. He will carry
all the far western states.
1.-The Progressive and Independent
vote in California will be largely cast
for President Wilson. These voters
are thoroly disguised with the kind of
speeches that Mr.. Hughes has been
making. During his visit to California
he never even mentioned by single
sentence the constructive legislation
enacted in California, nor did he say
that he stood for constructive legisla-

nomination for the United States SEN

lished in American newspapers that
General Carranza has demanded the
