men in California and our con-
servative millionaires were fear
full of him. They feared that his
ideas were dangerous and they
fought him bitterly; but they
found when the power was in
his hands that he used it so
, sanely and that the reforms for
which he stood and which he
put through were so humane and
so just that today he has no
supporters in the land more out
spoken and enthusiastic in bis
praise than the bankers and the
big business men of his home
State.
Refers to Roosevelt.
California rejoices. that there
will come before this convention
the names of several public men
. who enjoyed the confidence and.
the friendship of Theodore
Roosevelt. California is proud
that among the number her dis
tinguished son holds a conspicu-
Gus place. ..
But, be it clearly understood
that California makes no pre-
tension, no claim, that her can
didate is the political heir Of
Theodore Roosevelt. But, if it
should happen that the claim is
here made that the political
mantle of Theodore Roosevelt
was bequeathed to any one,
then, before you accept or be-
lievc it, California asks that
you remember that Theodore
Roosevelt, in the presence of an
assemblage of $4,000 people,
said of her son, "he is fitted at
the moment to be President Of
the United States"
Nominates Johnson.
To the end that men and not
masters shall administer the
great trusteeship. of the Repnb-
lican party; to the end that this
convention may make no mis-
take; to the end that you who
hold in your hands the party's
destiny may 20 forth from these
halls triumphant in the assur-
ance of certain victory; to the
end that a Republican admins
tration may once again broad
cast the nation with happiness
and prosperity; to the end that
the constitution Of our fathers
and the highest traditions Of
the American people shall en-
dure; to the end that the patri-
otto principles and the lofty
ideals of Washington, Of Lin
coin, and of Roosevelt shall live

Shower Of Feathers.
Can you imagine McAdoo nomi-
mated against Wood going out TO the
workmen snd saying, IL increased
the pay Of railroad workers by
thousand million dollars a year with
out a strike. General Wood, my
rival, as his nominating speech tells
you, cut down with a laugh one OF
the greatest strikes that workmen
ever started in the attempt to better
their condition. Take your choice
Now, the speech is over ending
with the name Of Leonard Wood
Some delegates are standing, not
half of them, however. Perhaps
they will persuade the others to
stand up later. New York is sitting
down, so are Missouri, Ohio, and
many others.
A shower Of red, blue and green
feathers, ingeniously released Is
falling from the roof.
Allen ended his speech with q
quotation from the Rubaiyat about
"All your piety and wit" and All
your tears will not wipe out word
Of IT," IL Wood who uses a soldier
language were here, and II he knows
anything about speeches he would
say to Allen "Why - You. Al
my tears, unfortunately, won't bt

But it is a cheer and a good one.

only two general sales year,

So unusual, that only those who

All of them have had representatives here for months endeavoring to interest the government in their projects or to ob- tain concessions permitting them to operate aerial freight and passenger lines.
 The British Handley- Page com pany has obtained ;t government con- cession to establish an air line for pas Sengers and cargo between the princi- pal cities of Brazil but no British ma chimes have yet arrived. It is said that E2,0000OO has been set aside to develop air routes by this concern along the entire coast from Pernam- buco to Buenos Aires with stations at eight points on the way.

MORE THAN ONE WAY
 TO GET WOMAN'S AGE
Census Enumcrators Come Across some Amusing and PerpIeXing
 Problems in Their Work.

The half-WaN point in the census enumeration has been reached accord ing to the schedule laid out in Wash ington. but the enume orators feel that it has hardly begun. Workers in some districts have already completed their work, but the majority are still labOrin@. On the whole the citizens are inclined to facilitate the work of the census bureau. although occasion ally am enumerator will find difficulty in getting the ''pedigree'' of some who send their servants to the door to say that no one iS home. or to come at d later time.
 -" Some women hesitate. to tell their ages. but the enumcrator generally finds way to get il before he leaves the place. Mrs, smith," who lives in an apartment house. declined to give her age, although she supplied ali other details asked by the cnumerator The enumerator being q tactfuI per son, did not press the point but rang the bell of Mrs. Brown" across the hall Mrs. "Brown" also declined to give her age.
 Airs. smith refused to give her age" said the willy enumerato tor.t but Of course she is an older woman than you are.''
 'I should say that she is" answered Mrs. Brown with much emphasis.
 How much Older"" asked the enUmcrator.
 She is exactly six years older" an- sWcred Mrs. "Hrown.' "She was born in 1864. on August 2. l know her age to a day.
 "I am sorry You wouldn't tell me your Hge,' said the enumerator and bowed his way out.
 The enumeratOr called at another apartment and had progresstd until he asked Mrs. "Macheste' her maid cn name. She said that her first name was Thomas and her surname was 3aritOr": The fnum orator gently ar eued that Thomas Was d mans name and that she must be mistaken. She to prove her assertion she grabbed her trustN broom. and the cnun4erator made d Ina Sty exit.
 At once place the cnumerutOr stop ped. q colOred woman insisted that she was the head of the house. and re-, fused to be diSlOdged from that posi- tiOn. She claimed 10 be 13 years old. also claiming q little bON of five and q little girl of three as her children.
 The large majority of the enumer- ators are of the gcntler sex. many of whom are very sensitive to rebuffs.
