Has the Largest Circulation THE PRIMARY ELECTION The most unique primary election in the history of California draws nigh, and on August 16 voters will select candidates for governor, state district and county officials. The most important duty before the people of Southern California is the selection of a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people of the state. There are enough republican voters in the counties of the south to elect a Southern California man to this office. These counties elected Gov. Gillett four years ago, as well as Governor Pardee eight years ago. It was the great majorities in these counties which say the day in each of these gubernatorial elections, after both men had met defeat in the northern counties. Voters are here in sufficient number to name the candidate, and with the northern counties splitting their strength between four other candidates, the nomination of Speaker Stanton seems practically assured. The strength of the party lies in these counties. It is for these voters to say whether they desire a governor from the south to represent them the ensuing publicans; but no other course was looked for by men who follow the political situation closely in California. The state central committee is the product of the last state convention, which was composed largely of delegates appointed by counties, instead of being elected at primaries. It was bad bad politics to rule this resolution out of order, and, if the state committee reflected the sentiment of the party, the resolution would have been adopted unanimously. Some day in California the people will rule, and not the railroad. FAKE STORIES ON STANTON One of the surest evidences of the strength of a candidate is given when he is the object of frequent attack upon the part of his political opponents. Many believe that Philip A. Stanton is the only one of the aspirants for the republican nomination who is sure of election if nominated. Therefore he is the special object of attack upon the part of the democratic party paper in Los Angeles, which seems to regard him as the most serious factor in opposition to its party candidate Theodore Bell. This paper has been the author of a number of fake stories, one of them being that Mr. Stanton is about to be "pulled out" of the fight, and become a candidate for United States senator. Aside from the fact that Mr. Stanton is a candidate for governor, and for no other office, the story is palpably absurd to any one who has familiarized himself with the direct primary law. Men might shift under the old convention plan of nomination, but it would be so difficult under the direct primary law that no one with normal intelligence would attempt it. In the case of Mr. Stanton, his friends wish him to be governor, and he desires to be governor, and nothing else, and neither he nor they could shift him to the United PREPARING FOR The County Clerk Receives from Secretary of State Davis calling state conventions and socialist parties ing the county clerk to on the ballots for the delegates to county convenions shall elect delegates to tions, according to law.

Voters are here in sufficient number to name the candidate, and with the northern counties splitting their strength between four other candidates, the nomination of Speaker Stanton seems practically assured. The strength of the party lies in these counties. It is for these voters to say whether they desire a governor from the south to represent them the ensuing four years. The most important question before the voters of the south is that of taxation. The fourth equalization district contains a third more territory than the three other northern districts combined. We have more votes in this one district, as much property valuation, in this one district, than the other three combined. Yet the northerners outvote us three to one upon all questions of property valuation, and last fall the valuation of southern counties was arbitrarily raised $321,000,000 by the state board of equalization, over the protest of the single member from the south. By this infamous piece of legislation, the railroad assessment was greatly lowered, for the valuation of the railroads was not subject to this unheard-of increase. Property valuations in Orange county, after being raised $2,000,000 by the county assessor, were again raised $10,000,000 by the state board of equalization. The taxes of every man in Orange county were raised 50 per cent by this increase of the state board, while that of the railroads were decreased in the reduced tax-levy which the raise of the state board made necessary. The equalization districts of the state will be redistricted next year. Justice demands that the southern counties be divided into two districts, and the northern counties in two 'districts', instead of one in the south and three in the north. Whom do you favor for governor, voters of Orange county — Speaker Stanton, a property owner in this county, who has pledged himself to rectify this evil, or one of the northern candidates, whose taxes were lowered by and through the effect of your raise, and who have uttered never a word about this crowning infamy of the time? The governor will have much to do with this redistricting of the state. What assistance can Curry, Johnson, Anderson or Ellery vouchsafe us—what have they said upon this subject? Not a word. nor, and for no other office, the story is palpably absurd to any one who has familiarized himself with the direct primary law. Men might shift under the old convention plan of nomination, but it would be so difficult under the direct primary law that no one with normal intelligence would attempt it. In the case of Mr. Stanton, his friends wish him to be governor, and he desires to be governor, and nothing else, and neither he nor they could shift him to the United States senatorship even though they desired to do so—which they do not. Another attack is made on Mr. Stanton on account of his action on the memorial to congress in favor of the federal line of steamships on the Pacific coast. It is not claimed that Mr. Stanton did not vote for the memorial, because he did vote for it in the form recommended by the Los Angeles commercial bodies. In its original form it contained a labored eulogy of Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas, and in conference between the two houses this was cut out and given to Flint and McLachlan who had just introduced a bill in congress appropriating $10,000,000 for the establishment of this line of ships. The sum of Mr. Stanton's offending is that the legislature of which he was a member gave credit to a California senator rather than to a Kansas senator for a measure which both advocated. As Mr. Stanton is undoubtedly Mr. Bell's strongest opponent, it is to be anticipated that the democratic papers will do their best to get rid of the Southern California candidate at the primaries. However, they may as well reconcile themselves to the prospect that Mr. Stanton is the man who will be nominated by the republicans to oppose their candidate. HOW TO SLEEP OUTDOORS "Directions for living and sleeping in the open air," is the title of a pamphlet sent out by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to its local representatives in all parts of the United States. The pamphlet is meant to be a handbook of information for anybody who desires to sleep out of doors in his own home. It emphasizes the fact that outdoor sleeping is as desirable for the well as for the sick. The booklet will be sent free of charge to anyone applying for it at the headquarters of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in New York, or to the business of the clerk will then leave a voting for delegates fined. Thus at the principalates are chosen to take part in election. The county elect delegates to their election and will select a central committee. The county central committee petition soon. Similar arrangements by the other parties. The democratic states called for Sept. 5 at S are to be 651 delegates ty will have ten, one of the 1908 vote. The prohibition states called for San Jose one delegate to every one of the 1908 vote. The socialist states set for Santa Clara one delegate for every 200 thousand thereof. FULLERTO W. M.

Phillip A. Stanton is the one man who stands pledged to right this wrong. The people of the south want no more arbitrary raises from the state board of equalization. Vote for P. A. Stanton for governor at the primaries August 16th. RULED "OUT OF ORDER" At the recent meeting of the republican state central committee the following resolution was introduced by Chester Rowell of Fresno, and was ruled "out of order" by Chairman Teller: "Resolved, that this republican state central committee hereby repudiates the influence heretofore exercised by the political bureau of the Southern Pacific company in the councils of the party and in the government of the state, and calls upon all candidates for republican nominations to declare unequivocally their opposition to this influence and their purpose, if elected, by all means in their power, to remove it from further influence in the politics and government of California." From one end of the state to the other this action is confirmed by re- of Tuberculosis to its local representatives in all parts of the United States. The pamphlet is meant to be a handbook of information for anybody who desires to sleep out of doors in his own home. It emphasizes the fact that outdoor sleeping is as desirable for the well as for the sick. The booklet will be sent free of charge to anyone applying for it at the headquarters of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in New York, or to the secretary of any local or state antituberculosis association. Some of the subjects of which the pamphlet treats are, how to take the open-air treatment in a tenement-house; how to build a small shack or cabin on a flat roof in the city; how to make one comfortable while sleeping outdoors either in hot or cold weather; how to arrange a porch on a country house; and how to build a cheap porch; the construction of the tents and tent houses; the kinds of beds and bedding to use in outdoor sleeping, and various other topics.The book is well illustrated and attractively prepared. The object of the book is to suggest particularly to consumptives who cannot secure admission to a sanatorium how they can be treated at home under the direction of a physician. In view of the fact that there are less than 25,000 hospital beds in the United States for consumptives and fully 300,000 who should be in hospitals, the National Association urges that more attention be paid to sleeping in properly provided places at home, and that in every case the best be made of the patient's environment. Gov. Gillett, Secretary and Surveyor Genie have filed demurrers which they are defending Julia H. Hagar plaintiff was begun for the spelling the surveyor and the governor and state to sign a patent of land in Newport-Bayance for the state office by Deputy Attorney and comes in answer from the superior county. PREPARING FOR PRIMARY The County Clerk Receives Affidavits from Secretary of State County Clerk Williams has received from Secretary of State Curry affidavits calling state conventions for the republican, democratic, prohibition and socialist parties and instructing the county clerk to leave blanks on the ballots for the election of delegates to county conventions that shall elect delegates to state conventions, according to law. The procedure follows the primary law. The republican state central committee has filed with the secretary of state a designation of Sept. 6 as the time of the state convention and San Francisco as the place for holding it. The purpose of the state convention is to adopt a platform and to select a state central committee to be composed of three from each congressional district. There will be 428 delegates, there being one for every 500 votes cast for U. S. Grant, Jr., republican presidential elector in 1908. Orange county will have six delegates. The delegates must be elected by a county convention before August 30th. Thirty days before August 16, the date of the primaries, the officers of the county central committee may file with the county clerk a petition for a county convention, naming the number of delegates and the proposed business of the convention. The clerk will then leave a blank place for voting for delegates from each precinct. Thus at the primaries the delegates are chosen to the county convention. The county convention will elect delegates to the state convention and will select a new county central committee. The republican county central committee will file its petition soon. Similar arrangements may be made by the other parties. FINANCIAL CENTER Now that the Los Angeles subtreasury bill has passed the senate, as soon as it goes through the lower-house of congress, Los Angeles will be assured of the federal institution, and which will make that city the great financial center of the southwest, so that bankers of the interior can send stead of to St. Louis, Denver or San there for subtreasury transactions in Francisco. The advantage to the financial institutions of the southwest will be great, and in the same connection the mining interests of Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, as well as Southern California, will be benefited by the government assay office, which also is provided for. The bill provides for the erection of a $1,000,000 subtreasury in Los Angeles and the necessary equipment to run it. It is believed the house will pass the measure. Jeffries didn't come back far enough. Yet it is doubtful if he ever saw the day that he could defeat Johnson. Had the latter possessed the same confidence in himself when he entered the ring as when he left it, he would probably have finished Jeffries in half the time. (Note by the office devil.) The same selling contract as has been in use for years has been adopted by the Walnut Growers' association for use the coming season. The price which the growers will set on the crop has not yet been determined, however, and will not be until the crop is ready for the market. J. A. Montgomery of Rivera, secretary of the association, says that the walnut crop the coming season will be only a fair one, judging from present conditions. While the state as a whole will probably produce about 800 cars, the association growers will not have that much, as there is a considerable ed business of the convention. The clerk will then leave a blank place for voting for delegates from each precinct. Thus at the primaries the delegates are chosen to the county convention. The county convention will elect delegates to the state convention and will select a new county central committee. The republican county central committee will file its petition soon. Similar arrangements may be made by the other parties. The democratic state convention is called for Sept. 5 at Stockton. There are to be 651 delegates. Orange county will have ten, one for every 200 of the 1908 vote. The prohibition state convention is called for San Jose Sept. 7 and 8, one delegate to every twenty-five. The socialist state convention is set for Santa Clara on Sept. 10, one delegate for every 200 votes or fraction thereof. FULLERTON W. M. Ferin, an employee of Murphy Oil Company, was severely burned about the head and face in an explosion of an oil car at Olinda Tuesday afternoon. Ferin was standing on top of a partially loaded car when the explosion occurred, and eye witnesses are at a loss to account for cause. Ferin was not smoking and carried no light. The force of the explosion hurled him to the ground, but he kept his presence of mind, and ran for a pool of water a short distance away with the flames blazing more than three feet above his head. The flames were quickly extinguished and the injured man was hurried to the hospital in this city. It is not believed that he is fatally burned. Lincoln Good who was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident more than a week ago, is now wholly conscious. He asked for particulars of the accident yesterday. Thirteen cars of freight were shipped from the Santa Fe station here the past weeek. Ten contained oranges and two hay. SANTA ANA The only victim of Fouth of July explosives in this vicinity was treated at the hospital Monday night. He is a Japanese from Smeltzer and he met disaster by reason of mixing Japanese saki and American fireworks. He became unsteady and allowed a giant fire cracker to explode in his hand. His thumb was almost torn off, the end of the second finger vanished and the palm of his hand was deeply cut LOW ROUND TRIP FARES ON ACCOUNT FOURTH OF JULY Southern Pacific will sell tickets to all local points where the regular one way fare is $10 or less at one and one third fare for the round trip.

The expression "stepping into another's shoes," like many another common phrase, had its origin in an ancient custom. The old Norse law required that a person to be adopted must step into a previously prepared shoe. This shoe was made from the skin taken from the right blind leg of a "three-winters-old bull." The skin was flayed from above the hock, and out of this the shoe was made. The person to be adopted stepped into this shoe, taking into his arms one at a time. It is presumed, the younger sons of the man making the adoption. If there were also sons who were of age they stepped into the shoe afterward, by this sign showing their consent to the adoption. A man in this way could adopt an illegitimate son, making him his lawful heir, but in that case the father was obliged to step into the shoe first. If there were any full grown sons, they stepped into the shoe afterward; if there were no full grown sons, then the next of kin did the stepping, and without his consent, by the way, this special adoption could not be made. Witnesses to the ceremony in the use of the shoe were required to establish its legality. It will be seen that this was considered an important ceremony, and since so much "shoe stepping" was done it is not strange that the expression as now used passed into common speech—Chicago Record-Herald.
