LA FOLLETTE'S CANDIDACY The purpose of the LaFollette candidacy for President is obviously to defeat the Republican national ticket. Having given un hope, after 40 years in office through the help of the Republican party, of achieving an ambition he has pursued relentlessly for 20 years, Senator LaFollette is out to get revenge on the party that has given him so much but has failed to hand him the place of power he has thought belonged to him by divine right. Assuming that LaFollette's candidacy would be helpful to the Democratic party, Democratic members of Congress and Democratic politicians and editors generally have been shoveling along the LaFollette cause. A study of the table of electoral votes might throw a little light in certain dark Democratic places. It is by no means certain that LaFollette's candidacy will not do far more harm than good to the Democratic national ticket this year. LaFollette may carry with him a few northwestern states naturally Republican, with a small total electoral vote. On the other hand, he will draw away from the Democratic candidates a large industrial vote in certain pivotal states with a large total electoral vote, which has been herefore fast for the Democratic party, and which but for LaFollette would probably support the Democratic ticket this year. The reasonably sure Democratic states this year are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. These states have an electoral vote aggregating 121. The states which the Republican ticket is reasonably sure of carrying quito. One observer says that house files are indifferent to colors; another is positive that flies avoid pale blue and settle freely on white. A sense of color and a sense of smell are possessed by many kinds of insects, notably bees and butterflies, according to Darwin, Lubbock and other naturalists of the last century. Just as we were dazzled with the idea of baffling the stings and arrows of outrageous insects by the trickiness of our apparel, or mayhap even ridding the earth of the busy boll beevil by some smelly lure, along comes the esteemed engineering foundation with a dissertation on combatting mosquitoes by mean of fishers, especially young ones. The most useful species for that service, so the announcement of the foundation says are the common sunfish, the mud minnow, and the killifish. Competition and struggle for existence in the mimic world. The minnow plays Gollath to the mosquito's David. Lay on mosquito—and d—be Goliath if he cries. "Hold" Enough!" A sting may outdo a sling. Watch your fins, Mr. Killifish. THE REASON If you ever ask yourself why Southern California is developing so rapidly and so surely, the answer is to be found in the news columns of the daily press almost any day. The reason is not man-made, not transitory, not imaginary. In the winter months you find the answer in the reports of bitter cold, of blinding blizzards, of snow blockades over all the east and north. In the spring you find the answer in dispatches telling of the havoc wrought by floods, the devastation spread over north, east and south by hurricanes and tornadoes which destroy millions to the state ranch. The alleged for increases in power was made of the resolution to the company in real strength as an amount used by indies houses. Officers of the resentative work on the resolution road commission rate increase gales July 14. While other county are said to advisability action marked the be have referred revolt." HOME GARDEN In an application poration Department dispose of stock Company which have formed, he plans to escape beds opposite California, Low forts, he says, experimental oysters already the epicurean in San Francisco. The reasonably sure Democratic states this year are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. These states have an electoral vote aggregating 121. The states which the Republican ticket is reasonably sure of carrying this year are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Idwa, Kansas, Maine Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming—a total of 181 electoral votes. The doubtful states may be listed giving to the opposition the most favorable consideration as: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Colorado and South Dakota. All of these states, excepting Kentucky were carried by the Republican national nominees in 1920. Of these 229 electoral votes the Republican ticket will need 85; the Democratic ticket must annex 136. The effect of the La Follette candidacy should it assume formidable proportions and not turn out to be a "dud" might be to keep the doubtful states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and possibly Nebraska out of the Republican column. In such case it would probably carry Montana out of the Democratic column, where it has been placed in this computation, reducing the sure Democratic total four votes or to 117. But in the industrial states of New York, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, the effect of the La Follette candidacy would be anti-Democratic. The farmer vote is not disaffected there to the same extent as in the northwestern states, nor roes it bear so important a relation to the total vote. The vote that La Follette could muster in these states is the railroad and factory vote of the sort that was delivered in 1912, 1916 and 1920 to the Democratic ticket, and would be so delivered this year by the professional labor politicians if La Follette were not in the field. New York and Illinois and Indiana, combined with any one other doubtful state, will turn the trick for the Republican ticket, even if all the constituents doubtful at all. In an application Department dispose of stock Company which have formed he plans to ease beds opposite California.

"This is an honest-to-goodness fight against mob rule and mob violence," William C. Pelkey, chairman of the Republican state central committee said. "We are not going to give in until we are assured that the Republican senators will not have their lives endangered. Until the executive head of this state and the Heutenant governor are willing to carry out their duties and preserve order in the state house, the Republican senators will refuse to attend sessions here." Mr. Pelkey said that "well known thugs" were constantly circulating says that LaFollette could muster in these states is the railroad and factory vote of the sort that was delivered in 1912, 1916 and 1920 to the Democratic ticket, and would be so delivered this year by the professional labor politicians if LaFollette were not in the field. New York and Illinois and Indiana, combined with any one other doubtful state, will turn the trick for the Republican ticket, even if all the remaining doubtful states were credited to the Democratic column. The effect of the LaFollette candidacy will also do more harm than good to the Democratic cause in the doubtful states of Kentucky, Maryland Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma and Tennessee. It will draw off from the Democratic ticket the vote controlled by the professional labor politicians. The Democratic politicians who have been thinking only of agrarian discontent in the northwest have overlooked the probable effect of the third party movement on the industrial vote which the professional labor politicians have been delivering to the Democratic party for the past ten years. Through this oversight they have been led into the folly of feeding a snake that may fatally bite them before the campaign is over. SCIENTISTS USE COLORS TO COMBAT INSECTS Men of science over Cambridge way in England put their heads together and then take time out to announce to a pestreed world that mosquitoes favor navy blue above 16 other colors. Reporting further on the effect of colors, the scientists say that mosquitoes are unanimous in their aversion to yellow, and that they shin light blue almost to a mosquito. EDISON CO.

The not transi-tive winter in the blinding trades over the spring dispatches bought by read over hurricanes by millions to the state railroad commission. The alleged request of the company for increases in rates for light and power was made a particular target of the resolution which called attention to the policy of the electrical company in referring to the so-called drought as an "not of God" while in the past neglecting to provide auxiliary power plants to meet such an emergency. The resolution set forth that the company, having failed to foresee such an emergency, was now demanding that the consumers guarantee the company a profit on the investment while at the same time regulating the amount of power that may be used by industries and business houses. Officers of the club said that a representative would be named to take the resolution before the state railroad commission at a hearing on the rate increase to be held in Los Angeles July 14. While other organizations over the county are said to have considered the advisability of such a resolution the action of the Seal Beach club marked the beginning of what many have referred to as the "consumer's revolt." HOME GROWN OYSTERS In an application to the State Corporation Department for a permit to dispose of stock in the Gulf Oyster Company which he and associates have formed, Dr. F. N. Bowers says he plans to establish extensive oyster beds opposite Altata, on the Gulf of California, Lower California. His efforts, he says, have gone beyond the experimental stage. He has produced oysters already that have appeal to the epicurean tastes of oyster lovers in San Francisco, Los Angeles and they will be satisfied only so long as they take the trouble to go to the polls and vote for candidates that will continue present conditions.

N. Bowers says he plans to establish extensive oyster beds opposite Altata, on the Gulf of California, Lower California. His efforts, he says, have gone beyond the experimental stage. He has produced oysters already that have appeal to the epicurean tastes of oyster lovers in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other portions of the state. The experimental beds, Dr. Bowers told the department, are to be extended over a large area and are to be surrounded by a fence. "Why the fence?" he was asked. "Who ever heard of an oyster escaping?" The barrier, he explained, is to protect the oysters from their worst enemy, the stingray, a wandering sea nuisance with lengthy tenacles that sting and poison anything living they touch. According to Dr. Bowers, oysters have been grown in his experimental beds as large as a No. 7 man's shoe. The Mexicans dehydrate the bivalves in the sun and find a good market in their country among people who like them that way. "Spat," Dr. Bowers said, is beginning of an oyster. It is thrown off in a form resembling a small smoke screen. It attaches itself to rocks or other obstructions in its wavering pathway and immediately starts the business of becoming a pocket of oysters. Four years must elapse from the time the spat lands until it is ready for the cocktail, frying or half shell, Dr. Bowers estimates. His company virtually is a closed corporation, the stock being distributed chiefly to himself and associates. TAKE HEED It has been truly said that often the satisfied do not take the trouble to vote, while the dissatisfied always go to the polls to record their criticism of things as they are. This is a fact that Republicans should bear in mind on November 4. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT In and For the County of Orange, State of California Notice for Publication of Time of Proving Will, Etc.
