"It is just a common cold,” le say, “there's no danger in that” Ad- mitting their statement, then there are wuncommon colds, colds which are dan- gerous; for many a fatal sickness begins with a cold. If we could tell the com- mon cold from the uncommon we could feel quite safe. But we can’t. The uncommon vari ety is rarely rec- ognized until it has fastened its hold on the lungs, and there are symptoms of consumption.

It in- creases the sup- g)y of pure, rich lood and builds up the emaciated body. "I took @ severe cold which settled in_ the bronchial tubes.” writes Rev.

Such a res- olution has been prepared, but whether the Gage gang will dare to spring it de- pends upon what the organization of the convention will be. The Gageites realize that such a resolution must not be pre- sented unless it is certain of adoption, for it it should be defeated it would be an- other direct slap at the Governor and would supply political capital for his op- ponents. At present it is not at all cer- tain that sufficient votes can be obtained to pass such an indorsement, for while it ig admitted that a majority of the dele- gates lean toward Gage, it is a very small majority and is made up of those who have axes to grind in the county fights, and the Gage adherents cannot afford to antagonize the otner side without jeop- ardizing some of the county candidates. To-night the Gage crowd was working hard to win support to the resolution, and in one or two instances had even offered to trade on the county ticket for votes in support of it. They argued that unless the county eonvention took some such ac< tion the members of the party would be showing discourtesy to the Governor. On_the other hand, the anti-Gage men are doing all they can to induce the Gage gang to introduce the resolution, because met in Oakland | stically cheered.

An exemplification of’ the foregoing is found in the | frm stand he took, together with the entire California delegation, against the proposed reciprocity with Cuba, as being inimical to the protective policy of the Republican party and especially injurious to, if not entirely destruc- tive of, an important and growing industry of the State of California. 1| This convention unhesitatingly advocates the constructing of all Government ships in Gov- ernment navy yards, and we further believe it %o be the duty of the Government to have all its work performed under Government super- viston; and we heartily indorse the action of | the Hon.

We urge upon Congress that the national eight-hour law be extended to apply to all Gov- ernment work, whether performed in public or private establishments, and we heartily in- dorse the course pursued by Congressman Vic- tor H.

OAKLAND, Aug. 18.—A "caucus of the Alameda County delegation to the State convention was held immediately at the close of the Congressional convention, the delegates being the same. The caucus was open and developed nothing of im- portance. Congressman Victor H. Mot- calf was elected chairman of the delega- tion upon motion of State Senator Lukens. The delegation autherized Mr. Metcalf to appoint a special committee of three for the purpose of generally handling the delegation, and this the chairman sald he would do later.

HIS SPLENDID RECORD. It is a great satisfaction to a Republican to point to a leadership which has stilled the voice of passion, to an official career which has silenced the tongue of calumny, to a record which challenges comparison ~ for fts fealty to party principles, its loyalty to the ship and for its scrupulous regard for official integrity and the public interes 1t is a vindication of the recent political his tory of the Third Disf that illuminates and instructs; that pledges the faith of the future that integrity, loyalty and statesmanship and a steadfast reliance upon the principles of the Republican pnrtyshall not go unrewarded. No etranger Wil I present to you. You know him, and fou know it was he who gave Californiaf a_larger place upon the political map of the nation. It was no accident which caused him to be selected for a place upon the most important committee of the House over the heads of men with a far longer legis- lative experience. That selection was the Tecognition of abilities not circumscribed by the narrow confines of this Congressional dis- trict, nor bounded by the broader fields of the State of Caljfornia, but which extend through- out the length and breadth of the nation. It was no freak of fortune that piaced him_ in confidential touch with the leaders of the Re- publican party at the national capital and caused him to be recognized as the leader of the California delegation in the House. There as_here competition fled before him by reason of those commanding qualities which give the personality of certain men domination over the minds of others. The possession of these qualities marks a man for leadership among his fellows. They are a combination of intellectual powers with true manhood and the grace of manners which places a man at ease in the highest companionship.

Ry Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, Aug. 18.—The Gage | boomers who have been placing Sonoma | County’s solid 22 votes in the raiiroad col- umn will now have an opportunity to re- vise théir figures. Primary elections were | held in this county to-day, and the re- | sult is a repudiation of the Gage ma- | chine by the Republicans of Sonoma. Out of the 22 delegates 15 are promounced | anti-Gage men, and of the remaining 7 only 2 have declared themselves openly | for the renomination of Herrin's Gov- | ernor. The other 5, though of doubtful leanings, are put down by the anti-Gage leaders in the Gage column. _Chairman Charles H. Adams of the Republican | County Central Commitsee said to-night that Gage's maximum represenfation in this county would be 7 votes. In this clty there was no contest, and | an unpledged delegation was elected. It | is from these delegates that Gage is ex- | pecting to get several of his votes. The | rest of the county is practically solid against him. The Santa Rosa delegates are: M. V. Vanderhoof, W. orr, W. S. Davis, A. B. Lemmon, J. L. Jor- dan and A. G. Burnett. The delegation to the Congressional convention is composed of E. F. Wood ward, H. L. Tripp, A. W. Arnold, A. DeW. Brown, Frank Koenig and O. O. Webber. It favors the renomination of Congressman Frank L. Coembs. PETALUMA, Aug. i8.—Petaluma and Vallejo townships to-day elected 5 antl- Gage delegates. They are Editor J. E. Olmstead of the Argus, Lyman Green, T. C. Denny, Harrison Mecham and D. R. Risk. Denny and Mecham favor Ed- son, while the others have expressed no preference,.save that they desire the de- feat of Gage. The primary election was an unusually warm one, and the vote was heavy. HEALDSBURG, Aug. 18.—Healdsburg elected two anti-Gage delegates to the State convention in the Republican pri- marles to-day. The sentiment in northern Sonoma County is overwhelmingly against Gage.
