 ANY TICKET
 AT PRIMARY

SAN FRANCISCO, April IS Cby As sociated Press) California voters face an unusually busy political year. There will be three elections, all of which are regarded by party leaders as being of more than ordinary inn portance. These elections and their dates are: Presidential primary, May 4; state primary, August 24; general election, November 2.
 w At the presidential primary the voters will be given an opportunity of balloting for candidates as delegates to the national conventions on one of three tickets-Republican Democratic and Prohibition. On the two latter tickets the delegates, of which there are twenty-six, will be unopposed.
 The Republican ticket will present a contest between rival delegations pledged to support respectively the candidates at the national convention of United States Senator Hiram w. c. Hoover of PaIo Alto, former United States food administrator.
 The ballots will plainly indicate how each delegation stands on the matter of a preferred candidate. Thus, the Republican ballot will contain two parallel lists, and at the head of each will be printed a line indicating which Candidate the delegation favors for the nomination.
 SNO candidate for the presidential nomination is excluded by reason of a non-residence in California from en- tering the state and seeking to elect a list of delegates favorable to his own candidacy in the national conventions. The primary election machinery isl available to all corners, and getting the names of pledged candidates onl the party ballots is largely a mechan- ical process.
 After the election of delegates to the conventions comes the minor matter of selecting alternate delegates, who will accompany the regulars and par ticipate in the voting at the conven- tions only when the regulars are in capacitated through illness or other causes The primary law provides that the delegates shall meet and select their own alternates, four att large and one from each of the states eleven congressional districts.
 A voter intending to cast his ballot at the presidential primary is under no obligation to vote for the ticket Sf whose party he registered, state of ficials have held. If he registered as 2 Republican he can demand and re- ceiye a Democratic ballot, or the bal lot of any other party that has candi- dates to be voted for. This situation caused something of a controversy inI political circles recently, but electionI experts contended that the primary law conferred that privilege specific ally.
 Tn August the state primaries will be in the nature of an elimination contest, with United States senator ship the most important of the varl- ous positions to be voted on. Senator James D. Phelan is a candidate tol succeed himself but half a dozen or more candidates have declared their intention of entering the race.

"TTTHAT ale the reasons for the
w advance in gas line prices?"
was asked by the President of
large daily newspaper.
Continuing, the gentlemen said: 81
can conceive how the cost of a manu-
featured article might increase as
much as so to 100 percent because
of the increased cost of rawmaterialS,
labor, ETC.; but it has always seemed
to me that the price of a product
taken from the ground at a COM
paratively' low cost should not be
affected to any marked degree"
This constitutes fair question, and
we are glad of an opportunity tc,
answer it frankly.
Gasoline is refined from crude petro-
leum by lengthy and expensive
process, and is, In the truest sense, a
manufactured article. Time, labor,
and heavy investments enter into
the manufacture of gasoline from
the crude, and each of these neces-
sarily affect the price.
The cost of crude is a dominant
factor in fixing the price Of gasoline.
The extraordinary demand for peho-
leum products, plus the abnormal IN
creaseS in the cost of labor, machin-
cry, and money necessary for drilling
and equipping oil wells, have com
bined to force upwards the price of
crude oil {. o. b. Whiting from Sl.54
to $4.30 Per barrel in four years,
nearly $50 percent.
For the same period the selling
price of gasoline has increased but
A percent
Since the Armistice was signed, the
production of automobiles, tractors,
trucks, and other power using ma
chinery, has created a demand for
gasoline far In excess of normal Gas
oline reserves have been reduced to
an alarming extent, and the bidding
for crude oil on the part Of refiners
generally, has forced prices upward.

Because of its acknowledged superior
efficiency in manufacturing, the
