California Battleship Launch Draws Native Sons Crowd
In San Francisco the armored cruiser California was launched at Union Iron Works amid a gala ceremony led by Governor Pardee and Miss Florence May Pardee. The ship, nearly 14 000 tons displacement with 23 000 horsepower, costs 3 800 000 and features four 8 inch rifles and rapid fire 6 inch and smaller guns. Armor tests show strong protection, and the vessel is built like recent submarines. New Hampshire Democrats convene in Concord to choose delegates to St Louis with internal factional rivalry and Parker sentiment noted.
