There should be water enoagh so that the new ships of the navy he ao,. 000-ton ships oould come np easily" Captain Hobson said he had not come to the- Pacific coast at the behest of President Roosevelt but that he bad learned a good 'many things on his trip. "I've found." said he. "that not only have you a great empire In this part of the country - with your resources, your soil and your, climate, but with your people as well. America draws from the best blood of Europe and this part of me country .naa. torawn jcrom- tne nest blood of America.

"I've also learned that you are wide awake that you realise that you are looking out on the 'Pacific ocean and strong into the face of great world problems. It has bee it shown me that a realisation of these problems will nat , urally originate on the Pacific elope and that from the Pacific slope the Interest in these questions should be extended gradually eastward until it finally cov ers the great body of the country and then becomes crystallsed in the shaping ' of great national problems. "I, believe that' chambers of com merce, boards of trade, legislatures and other such bodies on the pacific slope should begin now to adopt suitable res olutions and memorallse congress and seek the cooperation of other -bodies and legislatures in awakening the peo ple to the 'urgent necessity of creating a naval force such that without leav ing the Atlantic unprotected we could still maintain aa a permanent policy a naval force on the Pacific ocean. A fleet here should be at least 26 per cent greater than that of any other power, and thus lay the basis for the powerful-and effective realisation of the - great possibilities thai are- facing our people on the Pacific" coast from China and the orient." Captain Hobson spent today playtng frolf on the Waverley links and will .eave this evening for Albany where he Is to speak tonight.

The shore was lined with thousands of people the entire distance, many of them evidently having slept in the open in' order to be on nana on lime. - When the eight big warships hove In sight off Santa Crus they were- greeted by thousands of people on excursion craft, on the hills and on the beach. The anchors were dropped at 8:30 and a rew minutes later a aaiute was nred by the Santa Crus division of the naval reserves. The reception committee, headed by Mayor.

Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey's political life is at stake in today's primaries, at which it will be finally decided whether he will be delegate to the Democratic conven tion at Denver. v- In political speeches Pailey an nounced that if a majority of the peo ple should vote against him' in the pri mary election he would resign. On this account, unusual interest Is taken in today's primaries. A most bitter fight Is waging against Bailey, his relations with the Waters Pierce and Standard Oil companies Do ing used aa the chief arguments against him. Both sldea are today claiming victory and feeling runs high. Bailey's follow ers say he will be chosen delegate by 60,000, while their opponents say Cone Johnson will carry the state by 75,000. A special primary election to deter mine if Senator Bailey shall be. elected as a delegate-at-large to the Democratic national convention is in progress throughout Texas today. The primary will determine tM personnel of - the entire Texas delegation, numbering ZO members in all. that will attend the Denver convention. -The results of the primary . will be ratified by the state convention, which Is to meet in Port Worth on May . ! Halleylsm, socaned. is the one ana only Issue of the fight, which has been the most bitter political contest ever recorded in Texas. The fight against Senator Bailey has been going on ever since the exoosure of his alleged deals witn tne waters-tierce ana standard Oil people more than a year ago. Texas has probably been the most bitter and persistent foe thst the Standard Oil company ever went up against. After fighting the company in the courts for years it was finally forbidden to do business in the state and state officials nave been lying awake nights ever Since- in an endeavor to find something belonging to the Standard Oil company upon which they might levy to satisfy the Judgments. When Senator Bailey's alleged trans actions cam to light the commotion that it caused shook the Lone Star state fronventer to circumference and it was Relieved, at the time that the young statesman had signed his polltlc sl death warrant. But by hard work Bailey succeeded In holding on to his seat In the senate for the time being, though his popularity and Influence were undoubtedly weakened to a great extent. The opposition, however, never relaxed its vigilance, and when Senator Bailey announced his determination to go -as a delegate to the national rm. vention his nolltical enemies hllv4 they saw an opportunity to administer a crusning reDuxe. Meanwhile the Democratic forces throughout the state had lined up solid ly into two hostile camps, those for Bailey and those ajralnnt him. The Bailey people announced their ticket for delegates to the Denver convention The antiBalley element -rounded up at Waco , and., in one of the largest and most enthusiastic, political conventions even held In Texas selected four men to make the race for positions as dele Sates-at-large in opposition to Senator alley and three of his friends.
