Why, yes, You may come with

idea how funny he appeared with

his coat. But he knew nothing of

WE LOSE. TEXAS WINS

California has lost out and the Democratic national
convention will not to San Francisco next June
Instead the followers of Andy Jackson will meet in
Houston, Texas
1t is to be regretted that the Democrats could not de-
eide upon the Bay City. Perhaps, however, they re-
called that the only previous convention they held.
that city, resulting in the nomination of Governor
James Cox of Ohio, long drawn-out and tedious
affair and though the blame could not be attached
San Francisco the powers that be may have wished to
avoid repetition.
On the other hand, the Democrats, realizing that
choosing candidate this year going to be difficult
job may have wished to have all the room possible
and Heaven knows they will not go shy of room in
Texas There is enough there-even for Democrats.
At that Houston won out by only two votes and per-
haps by the time 1882 comes around the Democrats
will have seen the light, and decided that they made
mistake in 1923 and should have chosen California

The curtain falls on the Gray-Snyder case and it is
to be hoped the nation forget it.
1t was sordid mess from start to finish, its very
sordidness and cold~booded brutality giving it nation
wide attention that bellies the claim the public often
makes, that it is not interested in crime news.
There single redeemng feature that might
stand the slightest for the pair who have by
this time stood before the bar of final judgment The
feeble attempt to them in their last hours failed
miserably it deserved to fall and one wonders
why Judge should have issued such an order as that
made by Judge Levy.
Following Governor Smiths decision that he could
in duty to his OATH interfere with the course of
Justice it appears little short of farcca that Judge
should issue order declaring the condemned woman
should be granted stay of execution as she was need
ed for a witness in civil suit.
Governor Smith placed in difficult position.
His we's serious illness must have brought home
to him most forciby how dear womans life to her
family yet he could not act differently than he did and
be true to himself, his high office and to the people
who elected him.
