San Francisco, June zo.--The west Vir- zinia delegation arrived here tonight and vent progressively to work for the nomi- nation of it's favorite son, John w. Dav- s. the American ambassador to Great Britain His strength, they declared, would become apparent after the open ng ballots had demonstrated that none lf the leaders could be nominated.
 Governor J. J. Cornwell, who will make he nominating speech, issued this state nent:
 Davis would be an ideal candidate for many reasons. He is one of the most orceful speakers and debaters in Amer ca His great ability is universally ad- nitted. His character could not and would not be questioned. There are no lntagonisms, no objection could be urged except that he is a democrat. The public S in no mood to vote for or elect any san merely because he is a candidate of any certain political party. This is not a politicians period. A man to win this election must face the rising and not the jetting sun. He must stand not only for he right but be able to make the peo- ile understand him. Davis would be able o do that

 ONE MAN FOR BRYAN
 One gentleman wearing a size 53s hat is for William J. Bryan. He is not only for Mir. Bryan. He comes right out in the open and admits it. He says boldly that if he cannot vote for Bryan, he will vote for a candidate of the Bryan choos- ing. But, as I have just pointed out to him, Bryans ideal candidate is no more. MT. Bryan is on record as saying he fa- vors someone strongly committed to pro- hibiton and woman suffrage as the para mount issues, and Dr. Mary Walker is dead
 For second choice, I suppose Mir. Bryan might pick on Grover Cleveland Bergdol of Philadelphia as one sharing some of his favorite views. Like Mir Bryan Mir Bergdoll was from the very first strongly opposed to the war with Germany, anG Grover also has proven that he can run well. Probably, how

Rosny CROPPED her way to his feet.
The old duelist, who in his younger
days would fight at the drop of the
hat, had been brought pitiably low,
but not so low as Brousseau thought.
