Nominating process described for Prohibition and Socialist parties
The article explains that neither the Prohibition nor the Socialist party will nominate United States Senators. Prohibition nominates Daniel R. Sheen of Peoria for governor, while Socialist nominates J. H. Brower of Chicago. Other positions have party candidates, and voters must mark every name on the ticket. The Chicago ballot is long with many Democratic and Republican options, delaying results.

More Rational Railroads Need Credit to Compete
Edward H Harriman spoke in San Francisco saying a national mood favors better finance for railroads to boost efficiency and allow growth in farm and industrial profits. He urged regulated publicity yet insisted railroads must have credit and protection, and criticized destructive forest competition by legislation. He noted the Interstate Commerce Commission rate publication as serious and discussed a Sierra tunnel project, noting finance as the key hurdle. He also reported observing 46 fruit cars near Sacramento and planned to visit Pelican Bay Lodge before returning.
