WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS August 27th Date For State Convention, To Assemble at Oakland—Gen. Stone Steps Down from Chairmanship— Extending The Primary Election Law The republican state convention for the nomination of presidential electors is to be held in Oakland this year. The date of assembling is Thursday, August 27, at 2 p.m. This was decided at a meeting of the state central committee held in San Francisco on Thursday, when a call for the convention, with the apportionment of delegates thereto to be elected at the August primaries, was formally adopted. At a meeting of the executive committee held later, (permanent organization of the governing body of the party was completed by the election of P. S. Teller of Alameda county as chairman, vice Gen. Geo. Stone, retired. The meeting was enlivened by an attempt by the Lincoln-Roosevelt element in the committee to take the control of affairs away from the executive committee appointed by the chairman of the Sacramento convention and place it in the hands of the main body of the state committee. The leaguers also called upon the committee as a whole to elect a permanent chairman and secretary instead of permitting the executive committee to do this. The result of a wordy warfare was a show-down in which the reformers, so- executive committee appointed by the chairman of the Sacramento convention and place it in the hands of the main body of the state committee. The leaguers also called upon the committee as a whole to elect a permanent chairman and secretary instead of permitting the executive committee to do this. The result of a wordy warfare was a show-down in which the reformers, so-called, came off second best. A roll call showed sixty-seven votes for the organization against thirty for the league. Nevertheless the leaguers expressed themselves satisfied with the roll call. By an overwhelming vote of the electors at a special election the fifty-first assembly district in Alameda county has made primary elections mandatory there for the selection of delegates to all conventions. Under the provisions of the law the party committees can exercise no discretion hereafter and there will be no more arrogation of authority to appoint delegates. Out of a total of more than six hundred votes only twenty or thirty were cast against open primaries. The victory is a signal one for the Lincoln-Roosevelt republican league, the calling of the special election by the supervisors after the petitions had been filed being the result of its efforts. Inasmuch as the league has invaded Contra Costa county in similar fashion and brought about the calling of a referendum election, the difficulty that the reform movement has encountered in the third congressional district because the machine committee could appoint delegates arbitrarily has all been removed except as regards the outlying sections of Solano county, and even here a movement is afoot in the more populous places to have the primary permanently established. The fifty-first assembly district embraces the outlying section of Alameda county and in the battle between the league and the machine the latter had a majority of the delegates from the county, because it exercised its power to appoint its own men in this district as delegates to the May convention. The result was a good sized revolt upon the electorate, which resulted in the triumph for the league at the mont and Brooklyn will be in Contra Costa county, where voters were similarly denied a process for the coming station.

The tariff plank in the platform is more than usually It states the measure of pro definite words—to-wit, "The tion of such duties as will difference between the cost at home and abroad, together a reasonable profit to Am dustries." No republican case with that declaration, and ther some profits now enjoyed by industries are regarded as unjustified in the pledge to tariff at a special session of next year. Further, the pledged to the principal of and a minimum tariff to be club to discipline foreign that discriminate against American ports. It is the principle Blaine and McKinley contented.

The result was a good sized revolt upon the electorate, which resulted in the triumph for the league at the recent election. The provision of the law giving the people of a district the right to determine for themselves whether they will have primary elections made mandatory had never been availed of except in Santa Clara county before the Lincoln-Roosevelters invoked it this year after the machine had defeated it through the arbitrary appointment of delegates. The experience in Santa Clara has been that the rural communities take a commendable interest in the primary elections, an average of sixty per cent of the total vote being cast at them. The San Francisco Call, in commenting editorially upon this action, advises a similar course in other portions of the Third congressional district, which was pocketed by the machine in the May convention through the arbitrary appointment of railroad delegates. What this able up-state journal advises for Contra Costa county applies with equal force to Orange county, where rumors prevail that machine members of the county central committee will attempt to appoint delegates to the state and congressional district conventions, instead of calling a primary election and holding a county conven- Republicans of Contra Costa have united in the campaign maries.

Forty men were in line, and the boys never presented a more soldierly appearance. Major Vestal of Santa Ana was in charge of the election. Capt. Herman Stern was re-elected captain, John Kellenberger first lieutenant and John Selinger second lieutenant. When the votes for first lieutenant were counted it was found Selinger had defeated Kellenberger. Selinger refused to accept the office, and Kellenberger was subsequently chosen. Selinger was unanimously chosen for second lieutenant. He is the regiment's crack rifleman, and participated with the state team at the inter-state contest in Ohio last year. The company decided to accept an invitation to go to San Pedro on the Fourth. Those Cleveland Girls Old Orchard (Me.) June 29.—This very staid, ultra-aristocratic old summer resort has put it all over Paris, when it comes to the sheath gown. That is, if Old Orchard hasn't done it right, Cleveland, O., girls have. The gay party took Old Orchard by storm last Saturday and before Sunday night had herded out all of the most eligible men in the cottage and summer hotels much to the disgust of the quiet eastern girls. Then Monday and Tuesday passed off quietly with the Cleveland girls running things. Today burst. It was hot and humid with the nervous feeling in the air. Every one was afraid to go far from the hotels. There was nothing much to do, so the Cleveland girls, all eight of them, dressed up and came into the dining-room of one of the hotels and Old Orchard is gasping yet.

There was nothing much to do, so the Cleveland girls, all eight of them, dressed up and came into the dining-room of one of the hotels and Old Orchard is gasping yet. All of the girls were clad in directoire, or sheath gowns, and it looked as though each rounding, sinuous curving body had been poured into the gowns. At the bottom of the skirt was the daring slit, through which could be seen not a stocking, but a sock, a half hose, a real genuine man's half hose. Better than that could be seen a man's garter snapped around the calf and buckled to the top of the sock. The garter buckles were of gold and set in diamonds with initials carved and hand chased. The girls explain that early in the spring they formed a club to wear short socks as they thought that they were beneficial to health, and that they were going to continue to wear them the year round. The members of the "Short Socks Club" are Miss Theodora Henrietta Martin, president; Miss Eloise Huglin, fine collector; Elsie Goldthwalte Thayer, secretary; and Miss Eva Asgood Tabor, treasurer. The other members are: Miss Holmes, Miss Harper, Miss Eberson, and Miss Sweetsir. Any girl found without short socks on is fined five pounds of $2 chocolates. Perolin makes clean sweeping, no dust.
