A picture of the battleship Oregon, whose race against time and whose splendid fight for the maintenance of a Repub- lican policy and Republican principle s known round the world, is there to inspire the Democratic hosts. It nar- rowly misses screening from view the one portrait that stands out amid the verdure. Suspended from the canopy of flags are the tri-color shields that bear the names of the counties. Upon the east end of the hall, directly In front of the platform, a great slice of the hall has been reserved for the San Francisco delegation—the Fourth and Fifth Congressional districts—while .north of this assignment, and also in a position of honor, has been placed-the Tos Angeles delegation—the Seventh Congressional District. The rest of the _ districts have been spread back through " the hall without effort to preserve nu- mwerical or alphabetical order. All in all, the Democrats should be appreciative, for the citizens of Santa Cruz have gone to great lengths to make their visit here agreeable.

ST. PAUL, Minn,, May 14.—“William R. Hearst has no more show to carry Minnesota, North Dakota or Montana than has the Czar of Russia,” said a Democrat of national prominence to- day. “Hearst is wasting his money; he is evidently misled by those who are tap- ping his barrel,” L. A. Rossing, chair- man of the Democratic State Commit- will not have more than 15 per cent of the delegates to the State Convention. There is but very little Hearst senti- ment in the State. In my correspond- ! ence with leaders throughout the State 1 fail to find where Hearst cuts any figure.” FARGO, N. D, May 14.—Hearst is crats. He is not even counted as a pos- sibility. It is doubtful if his name will be mentioned in the State Convention. His candidacy is looked upon as an ad- vertisement for his many papers and is not considered legitimate. HELENA, Mont, May 14—There is no Hearst sentiment in this State. The Democrats will have none of him. All the reports purporting to have beeh sent from this State to the Hearst papers are pure falsification. THey were never sent. Democrats here say the idea of Hearst cutting any figure in Montana is absurd.” —_——— Pupils Exhibit Their Drawings.

When Strinkorb discovered the note he awakened his brother, who lives in the lower flat at the same number. Ernest Strinkorb hurried to the City Hall at 2 o'clock Saturday morning and submitted the letter to the police. Two policemen were de- tdiled oh ‘the case and after an in- vestigation of the facts and a care- ful examination of Bakers Beach and the bay they reported that there were no indications that the migsing woman had committed suicide. * Mrs. Strinkorb’s sister has been vis- iting her for the last twelve days.
