Wheeler electors in the Independent
column.
Such action is not surprising from
the Republican party in California,
which is now once more under the
control of the Crocker and the South
ern Pacific machine which was smash
ed by Hiram Johnson and which, with
the aid of the national administra-
ton. has once more returned to power
in California.
This piece of political trickery
will not succeed. and an aroused
electroate in California will have an
opportunity to register its disapproval
on November A."

 This old pine was then traced out and the source Of the water was dis coverrd. The water leak has made conditions slippery at that congested traffic point
