can ticket is not SO much based upon
conversion to Republican doctrines as it
is upon personal fondness for Hiram
Johnson. To permit johnson to be nomi-
mated would insure the domination of
these elements, something which the con-
sentative leaders of the Republican party
do not welcome.
But to fail to- nominate johnson means
a possible detection and third party.
The California senator himself may be
persuaded to remain loyal to the party,
but his following will not stay. It's
Johnson or nothing with them. And
preparations already arc under way for

clements which broke away in 1912 and
formed the Progressive party, some of
the radicals who like neither the Repub-
| lican nor Democratic parties, the voters
i controlled by the chain of Hearst news
papers, and the numerous groups who
are irreconcilably opposed to the ratif-
cation of the peace treaty even with res
ervations. Many of the supporters of the
third party would be drawn from the
Democratic ranks. 1t looks for instance
as if the Democratic convention will not
nominate a radical of the Bryan type

their supporters to turn elsewhere. The.

2. That the seed planted is from
fresh stock, of varfties well adapted
to our high altitude and short sea-
sons, and that the seed will grow
when 1t is planted. Every member
should test some seed samples before
planting. This can easily be done by
planting such seed IS peas, etc, In 3

well moistened and in a warm place
for three or four days. Small seed
like radishes can be kept between
two moist blotters until termination
begins.
g.. That the garden measures a

Fish Haven the size has been reduced
IN account OF special reasons that
do not exist elsewhere in the county.
In all other communities no garden
will be accepted that does not meas
