"B3ill" Sto w, a noted lobby ist of the Southern Pacific Company, is engaged in the scheme to have Stan ford nominated for President by the Farmers' Alliance. President L. L. Polk of the Ailiance, who arrived on this coast a few days argo and who has addressed Alliance meetings in Southern California, camie to the State upon invitation of Senator Stanford to increase, if possible interest in the Aliauce movement in Southern California, which is a weak section as rar as Stanford is concerned.
