Os course, these four states have not enough delegates to insure my nomi nation. but they arc enough to go a long way in that direction. ft is a considerable distance from California to New Hamp shire. and the fact that I have carried them explodes absolutely the theory which was somewhat overworked that I had no sup port outside the states bordering on Missouri. ft gotjs without saying that 1 am profoundly grateful to the Democrats of the quartette of states named, and I sincerely hope my friends therein will never have cause to regret their action. Whatever happens. I shall always hold this evidence of their confidence ami esteem above all price. I am particularly under obligations to the women of Cali fornia. who. exercising for the first time the elective franchise in a national election, stood by me so loyally. By GENEVIEVE B. CLARK. WASHINGTON, May 16 I wish to join with my husband in expressing my appreciation of the aid given his candidacy by the women of California, and I congratulate all the women who voted at the primaries on their first exercise of the privi lege of sharing in a national election. I know that there will always be a wise use made ol the ballot by the good women of California, and trust that before another four years have passed their example will have stimu lated all tile states of the I iiion to extend the vote to women.

The trout happens to be in the Nixie department of the Atlanta postofthe because W. L. Young found it in his railroad postoffice pouch on the train between Chattanooga and Meridian. Young is a considerable mail clerk. Very often he has sent along letters to the proper lettees when they weren't any more intelligently addressed than a badly written Chinese laundry bill.

"The best thing to do," advised Ills , boss, "is to shove the darned thing into , the Atlanta dead letter office. They’ll know there if anybody can find out where it belongs. What I think is that the fellow who sent that trout took something along besides bait when he went fishing." So they forwarded the fish to the Nixie department here. King sent on a letter formally explaining the situation 1 to Postmaster .McKee and there has been about one mile and a half of the intel tnjnable P. <>. red tape used up trying to locate the owner and the sender of that fish. Meantime it lies in the Nixie depart ment. where it has a separate place of honor, principally because its not a 1 fresh trout any more.

They will be instructed uncompromis ingly for Roosevelt. The "insurgent” delegates to be elect ed tomorrow will go to Chicago with credentials claiming tp be pritna facie regular. They will not expect to be seated immediately, but they will con test with the Taft delegates elected in March for the right to sit in the con vention. Illegal Election Their Claim. In the event of the Roosevelt strength being sufficient to organize the nation al convention, these contesting Georgia delegates probably will be seated in place of the regulars. They claim that the Taft delegates, who will bear cre dentials signed by the recognized Geor gia delegation, were elected illegally and without due notice.
