WHO WILL MANAGE
STATE CAMPAIGN?
Machinery of Republican
Party Passes Into New
Hands September 6 .
By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH
Who will manage the republican cam-
In the absence of Hiram TV. Johnson,
that question is giving the reform re
publicans more concern than the plat
form pjroblem. The machinery of the
republican party will pass into new
hands September 6. The insurgents
that were are the regulars now. Wal
ter Parker, Phil Teller, Will Davis and
the other bigwigs of the machine join
the "Has Been" club September 6. Who
will take their places?
Johnson may exercise a determining
voice in the selection of campaign man
agers, but there will be limitless ad
vice ready to uncork for his guidance
when he returns from his vacation.
Naturally enough, at the inception of
what appears to be an easy fight to
win, the hammers are out for the men
who appear to be in line for prefer
ment in the matter of party reorgan
ization.
SELECTION* OF SECRETARY
The practical politicians in the re
form ranks or allied with the Lincoln-
Roosevelt leaguers are not giving. them
selves any concern about the chair
manship of the state convention. They
dismiss that with a wave of the hand,
declaring' that it is up to Los Angeles.
The chairmanship of the state central
committee and the selection of a secre
tary are quite different matters from
the standpoint of the northern Cali
fornia republicans. They want men at
the helm whose republicanism may not
be, questioned and who can not be sus
pected of "throwing down" any repub
lican nominee for a democrat. 'jy ~'+
Among those most prominently men
tioned are Chester H. Rowell of Fresno
for chairman of the state central com
mitted or the executive committee, and
Charles R. Detrick of Mayfield for sec
retary. Rowell is president of the Lin
coln-Roosevelt league and Detrick is
secretary of the league's state organ
ization. It may. be. that Rowell will
not care to assume the duties of chair
man of the state central committee.
There is no more conscientious repub
lican in California. He accepted the
presidency of the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league at a personal . sacrifice and he
might fairly enough refuse to accept a
place that would involve a greater per
sonal service. Detrick has been a strik
ing success as secretary of the Lincoln-
Roosevelt league. He has tact, unfail
ing good nature, and' he has always
been a republican, -win or lose.
PROMINENT LEADERS
Other names prominently associated
with the chairmanship are those of W.
R. Davis, former, mayor, of Oakland,
and Judge Frank R. Devlin of Vallejo.
The selection of either would go a long
way toward insuring the confidence of
those republicans, who are obsessed
with the idea that the Lincoln-Roose
velt league is an. organization .hostile
to the republican party. •
Both Davis and Devlin are known
from Siskiyou to.San Diego. Nobody
has ever questioned their republicanism
nor their Integrity. : Devlin was the
first president: of the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league. He is a constructive, practical
politician of the highest "type. Davis
was one of, the organizers of the Lin
coln-Roosevelt league and as one of
its vice presidents %vas a power in the
campaign for -Johnson's nomination.
CONVENTION CHAIRMANSHIP
For chairman of the San Francisco
county convention the men most*promi
nently mentioned are C- H. Bentley,
Thomas S. Williams and Thomas E.
Haven. Either could not fail: to be
eminently satisfactory to the deepest
dyed leaguers, and their allies are,in
terested in matters of more practical
potentialities than the chairmanship of
a. county convention. =
On ' the " face of the returns as cor
rected up to last night, the anti-ma
chinists.will have 116 out "t% 165 ' del
egates In the county convention. "Their
column | was strengthened yesterday by
the addition of 15 delegates from -the
thirty-eighth ['assembly district.. The
unofficial, count indicated that the;thir
ty-eighth had gone to the machine by
a hairline margin. 'The can
vass of the district completed late yes
terday afternoon' showed the election
of the league's delegates by a margin
of 14 votes out of a total of 1,100.- .

Several Members of Oakland
Force Entertain Parties at
the Orpheum Theater
OAKLAND,- Aug.. 24.— The interest
shown by police Inspectors' in "The Po
lice Inspector,"' a sketch depicting a
phase of the laiv guardian's work, was
illustrated tonight by the attendance at
the Orpheum of several of the men in
command of the. Oakland force. Cap
tain of Detectives Walter J. Petersen
and Inspector Frank Lynch both enter
tained box parties, and throughout the
house were several parties of police
men and their wives.
John T. Doyle, the clever actor taking
the part of William Bonsell in< the
sketch, is a song writer and a student
of criminology, as well as a capable
thespian. He is the composer of one
of Miss Winona Wagner's songs, called
"Five Little Pigs." Doyle was starred
in Dixon's play, "The Traitor," and is
well known here as Wainwright, the
financier, in ' "The Man of the Hour."
In this sketch he portrays an excep
tional icriminal. The real Bonsell was
a clever swindler, who committed two
murders before the police finally landed
him. * . .. ;
Among other attractions on the bill
are Miss " Jessie Heather, the English
comedienne; "Toyshop Pastimes," one
of Gus Sohlke's offerings, and Lou An

TURXTO SLIP
The nose of the tug was pointed
north along the water front, past An
gel-island and Alcatraz, up to Belve
dere, around Fort Baker and into the
choppy wash of the Golden gate. Turn
ing here, a run v/as made in front of
Fort Mason to Point Richmond and the
terminal of the Santa Fe. Turning south
along the east shore of . the bay, the
docks of. the Key Route and Southern
Pacific were' viewed, and then a close
turn was made to the Western Pacific
slip and east shore terminal. Without
as much as pausing, the little tug
poked through the spray and sunlight
west acros the bay to Hunters point,
where the dry docks., ship building
plants and iron works clouded the sky
with the smoke of industry. •
Under a slower : headway the party
was brought along the south water
front, past "the western freight ter
minal of the new road,- just below the
Western sugar refining company's
plant and then up to pier 34, where the
first-landing was made. The officials of
the road declare the pier to be the
finest piece ot engineering of its kind
'in San Francisco.
MEET STEAMSHIP OFFICIALS
On returning to the Mission street
wharf at 2:30 the party was taken di
rectly to the offices of the Toyo Risen
Kaislte in the building, where
General, Manager Avery presented, the
members to Vice President R. Okowa
and Managing Director M. Shiraishi.
After a short stop there "lunch was
eerved. at the Fairmont hotel. General
Traffic Manager Lomax presided at the
luncheon and short addresses were
made by Freight Traffic Manager Ad
ams, Major Hooker, Charles Cook, Ken
neth* C. Kerr . and General Manager
Avery. of the Toyo Risen Kaisha.
At the close of the lunch a final trip
was taken in the machines to the
freight yards at Eighth and Brannan
streets, where the company has in
stalled a network of tracks and sheds
on eight square blocks. Two large
brick. buildings already_ on the ground
will: be occupied with freight depart
ment offices and warerooms. - The yards
are so situated that a direct franchise
connects them on the south with- the
western freight slip and another on
the north with the state belt line, thus
putting the ; new road in direct com
munication with every important in
dustry In the city and also, with its
own wharf and transatlantic facilities.
In the words of Lomax. the company'
has ; acquired a maximum of efficiency
and service with minimum of equip

, The finishing touch to -*he
Western Pacific organization
will be given -next January
when the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
severs its relations with the
Pacific Mail company and goes
Into partnership with the
Gould line. This will give
the Western Pacific oversea
connections for freight and
passenger traffic that will b« *
as perfect .as those of any
other transcontinental line
and perhaps a ljttle better, as
the trans-Pacific service will

; It was announced yesterday .
by W. H. Avery that the T.
K. K. trans-Pacific service ;
after the first of the year until
next June will be contributed
by four fast liners. They will
be the new. triple screw tur- •
bine liners Tenyo Maru and
Chiyo Maru and the twin
screw liners Nippon Maru and
American Maru. A third tur
bine liner, aa yet unnamed, is
now nearingr completion in
Japan. It is a sister ship to
the .Tenyo and Chlyo and will
be ready for service in June.
When the new liner goes
into commission the five ships
will be kept on the run, which •
will give the Western Pacific a
trans-Pacific service that will
be first class in every respect.

Health and Beauty Helps
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN
M. L. X.: It is not half so difficult a
problem as you think to keep the com-
plexion beautiful in summer. You
haven't used the right thing — that i 3
all. Of course, a cream that contains
lard or oil will give you a "s.hiny face"
and powders are. bound to "smear" with
perspiration. You want a cream that
will remove dust and dirt from the
pores and leave the skin smooth, moist
and pliable. . You can make such a
cream at horne — and it will be abso-
lutely-free from grease or oil. Just
get from your druggist one ounce of

Almozoin clears the skin of all pore
dirt and prevents blackheads because it
make's large pores small. Massage with
it to keep off wrinkles, roughness and
redness. Follow the advice given
"Georgia Girl" in the next paragraph.
Georgia Girl: Use this liquid face
wash and you will find it more satis-
factory than 1 any powder or cosmetic.
Dissolve four ounces of spurmax In a
half pint of hot water, add two tea-
spoonfuls of glycerine and let cool.
Apply to the face, neck and forearms
with the palm ot the? hand and you
need not bother again all day about
your complexion. It affords protection
against sunburn, tan and freckles, al-
though it is so dainty and delicate' that
its use can not be detected. It is es-
pecially fine for any one with. dark or
oily skin, for it is a true complexion
beautifier and keeps the skin smooth,
soft and velvety.
R. F. D. No. -3: You can make your
dull and expressionless eyes clearer
and brighter if you use an eye tonic
maae by dissolving one ounce of cry-
stos, in a pint of water. Drop one or
two drops in each eye whenever they
are tired or feel weak. ''-It strengthens
weak eyesight, relieves inflammation
and redness, and does not smart or
burn. Th« regular use of this eye tonic
has enabled many to discard their
spectacles— a. fact that will be appre-
ciated by any woman who looks older
than she really is when wearing eye
glasses. ' \u25a0
W. T. C: Don't feel so dejected at
the approach of short sleeves. Those
unsightly, hairs on your forearms. -will
yield to proper treatment. Just get
from your druggist an ounce of dela-
tone (it costs a-dollar. but it's worth
it) and. mix a little of it with enough
water to make a paste. Cover the
hairs with the paste and«let It remain
for a few minutes: then wipe off and
wash with warm water. Even if the
hairs should come back, they will be
light and thin, and a second or third

Line in Territory Sought
by Hill '
[Special Dhpatch to The Call]
PORTLAND. Ang. 24.— Harriman of
ficials filed articles of incorporation to
day for a railroad from Grant Pass, in
southern Oregon, to Crescent City, in
Del Norte county, the extreme north
western part of California. The dis
tance is 70 miles. The railroad Is to
be known as the Grants Pass and
Western. The incorporators are: J. P.
O'Brien, general manager of the Har
riman lines in Oregon; C. G. Suther
land, chief clerk In the offlc? of the
general manager, and James G. Wilson,
one of the Harrtman attorneys. The
capital stock of the company is given
as 5500.000.
In 190t>. Colonel T. W. M. Draper of <
Pan Francisco surveyed a proposed
railroad over the route outlined and
acquired considerable right of way. It
is known, too. that the Hill interests,
now owing the Pacific and Eastern
line which is building: easterly from
Medford to a connection with the Ore
poiv trunk line in central Oregon, have
had -reconnoiterins parties working
southwesterly from Medford in the
general direction of Crescent Clty-

Alcestis: You say you have tried
dieting and exercising to rid yourself
of superfluous fat and failed to reduce
your weight. Many other women after
the same experience have accomplished
the desired result with parnotis — that
harmless flesh reducer that is sold in
most first class drug stores. Dissolve
four ounces of parnotis in I V* pints of
warm water and take a tablespoonful
before each meal. In a few weeks the
overly stout woman finds she has lost
10 or 15 pounds and that her flesh is
firm and free from fiabbiness.
X. X.: To cleanse your blood of the
impurities that cause pimples* and erup-
tions of the skin. I know of nothing
better than as old fashioned home rem-
edy made as follows: Get from your
druggist one ounce of kardene. dissolve
it in a half pint of alcohol, add one-half
cup of sugar, then pour in enough hot
water to make a full quart of tonic
Take a tablespoonful of this inexpen-
sive> blood remedy five minutes before
each meal and it will aid digestion,
make the liver active, and cleanse your
blood. It strengthens and builds up
the entire system and when you are
well, that wretched "tired" discouraged
feeling will leave you.
C. C X.: If you are blessed with
beautiful hair by all means take the
very best care of, it you can. Yes.
dandruff will in time destroy any head
of hair if permitted to remain. If:
necessary shampoo every week with
canthrox. Dissolve a teaspoonful in a
cup of hot water, pour a little on the
head rub as you would with any other
shampoo: then rinse well. Canthrox
makes plenty of rich lather and thor-
oughly cleans the scalp and hair. It
relieves itching and irritation of thf
scalp and the hair dries quickly and
evenly without streaking. It leaves
the hair soft, bright and fluffy, so that
it is easy to dress tn any style you pre-
fer. __
Mrglnla: You can overcome th<» trou-
ble with your scalp if you will use *
hair tonic made as follows: Get on?
ounce of quinzoin from your druggist.
dissolve in a half ptnt of alcohol and
add a half pint of water. Rub into
the scalp and hair roots once or twic?
a- week. This is a soothing and refresh-
ing treatment for a hot. hard and stiff
scalp. It keeps the scalp soft, pliable
ana just moist enough to encourasr*
hair growth. Quinzoin gives strenjrV
and vitality, stops falling and splitting
at the ends, destroys th« germs that
cause dandruff and baldness and you
soon see a wonderful improvement in
your hair as it becomes rich, fine and
glossy. This tonic has given splemli.l
results where ready-prepared tonics did
no good. Use «anthrox for shampoolnsr
and avoid soaps which make the hair
hard, brlttlo and roarse.
