28 COMMERCIAL MEN | FOR McKINLEY Five for the Friend of Protection to One for Bryan. Analysis of a Poll Which Has Recently Been Made Through | the Mail TRAVELERS GIVE REASONS. Outspoken and Convincing Are the Men Who Daily Come Into Contact With Trade. For McKinley For Bryan... The above figures give the Presidential preferences of 170 commercial travelers | who have written to THE CALL, answering | a circular letter of inquiry which was sent | cut to the craft generally. The signifi- | cance of this showing can hardly be mis- | understood. The proportion of com- mercial travelers who see that prosperity | can only come to the country through the election of William McKinley is over 5 to 1 compared to the number who say | that they will vote for William J. Bryan. There is no other class of citizens enjoy- ing equal opportunities to come into con- tact with all sorts and conditions of busi- | ness men and to learn the drift and trend of enlightened public opinion. There is | no other class of citizens able to meet the | general public under as many varving | conditions. Selected by reason of adroit- | ness, intelligence, skill and address and with senses kept constantly on the alert, their perceptions are keen and ail shades of opinions are elicited by and weighed by them. The men with whom they deal in a business way are the most sensitive of all classes to current indications of trade and most concerned in making a correct and unbiased diagnosis of the same. Collec- | tively they are acquainted with the views | of every locality. The commercial travel- | ers hear and consider all tuat they have to | say. The commercial traveler, moving | about in ears, on boats, in stages and in | all sorts of out-of-the-way places and in | all centers where population congregates, | talks with the customers of these mer- chants, with wage-earners, with capital- ists, with everybody. From these facts it | appears clearly that the result of the can- | vass concerning the Presideatial prefer- ences of the commercial travelers is more | significant than any that has preceded it. It is not only an expression of individual | opinion—it is the consensus of many opinions. Some travelers have caused to accom- pany their answers a stipulation that their | reasons shali not be published. Ohers ob- | ject to the use of their names but they are comparatively few. Here are some sample utterances by those who have an- nounced that they are for McKinley: J. H. Commet—Protection is the watch- word. The “nigger in the fence’ is free silver. H. E. Heacock—Am for McKinley, pro- tection and free coinage by international agreement. Was born and raised in Stark County, Ohio, and have known of Major VcKinley and his family ever since I can remember. Iam familiar with his public career, both local and National, and con- sider him well qualified for the Presi- dency. J. 8. Waldeck—I favor the election of McKinley for President and don’t you for- et it. . Ben Levy—With all respect for Bryan, McKinley forever. Max Sommer—In protection lies pros- perity. In my judgment. good times will come with' the starting up of our mills and factories. Eugene L. Kohlberg—Although a Demo- crat 1 favor Major McKinley. 1 have just returned from Washington, Idaho and Montana. All merchants whom I in- terviewed favor the gold standard and honest money. Julius Siegel—I am satisfied that nearly all the Pacific Coast commercial travelers are working hard for McKinley and pro- tection. Charles J. King—If McKinley is elected 1 feel sure that it will be the beginning of an era of unprecedented prosperity for our country. Reed Jones—Oregon is sure to go for McKinley. Changes here are wonderful in the past few weeks, and all are for Mc- Kinley. M. H. Barry—The election of McKinley is so certain that any remark would be superfluous. Nat J. Tobias—I will vote for McKinley for the reason that no one has told me why free silver is good, and Iiavor sound money. Jerome E. Young—I favor the election of McKinley simply because I am an American citizen and believe that we should have protection and that foreign immigration shouid be restricted as well. George R. Savaze—My motto is to vote for the man who will do the most good, and I think that McKinley is the man. H. G. Weisbrod—My experience as a traveling man is that the sentiment of the merchants [ have called on 1n the past two weeks, regardless of party politics, is that what the country needs is a restora- tion of confidence, and the best and quickest way to restore the same is to elect a Republican. H. H. Yerrington—I favor the election of McKinley first, last and all the time, like a!l traveling salesmen. R. H. Davis—Inclosea please find the names of seven commercial travelers, and each one is for McKinley, protection, sound money and a chance to earn it. Ed Goldsmith—I favor the election of William McKinley, and God help us if he sin’t elected. T. E. McShaue—I believe, with McKin- ley, that open mills, not open mints, are the present need of the country. Robert H. Naunton—I think McKinley is the only man that can save the country at present. F. J. Bachelder—I have just come through Oregon. McKinley will get the four votes of Oregon. C. B. Tomson—I favor the election of McKinley, and I don’t care who knows it. A. D. Simpson—I favor the election of McKinley and protection to our industries, #o that labor will be given employment. Alfred B. Brunner—1 favor McKinley, the only medium of prosperity. A. H. Wilson—If McKinley is elected it | L AR T e e T e O A e e e S T T AT HALE BRO\S,.\N‘A _&:m s tais ks i B R s i AR R A WE WENT INTO DULL MARKETS WITH CASH R R AT RSN .

G RN will start the wheels of industry moving, and the country merchants, hotel and transfer men will be once more glad. Simon F. Juda—McKinley and protece tion mean prosperity for all. E. 0. Regensburger—Protection should be the main issue of the day. We should keep &3 much money as we possibly can at home, instead of sending such enor- mous sums to foreign countries. 8. K. Thornton—I have recently visited the most populous portion of the Staté north of San Francisco, and state, as my best judgment, that California will give McKinley a bandsome majority. H. 8. Rosenthal—While favoring silver under an international agreement the question of protection appears to me to be the paramount issue. Reuben Cohen—1 favor the election of McKinley for the benefit of everybody; bound to have better times. Cnarles 8. Jacobs—The good of the coun- try and its fature prosperity depend largely upon McKinley’s election. B. F. Noyes—The success of McKinley means a return of the good, old prosper- ous times in all lines. We hope to em- ploy at least 100 more hands next season. Daniel Bruton—I have voted the Demo- cratic ticket for thirty years, but cannot swallow Bryan, Altgeld or their principles. C. C. McUray—Protection means more to all American citizens than the so-called silver policy, which will debase our cur- rency. McKinley will be elected because the people are disgusted with Democratic promises. C. B. La Shells—I am in favor of Mc- Kinley, protection, sound money and the Nation’s honor. B. C. Samuel—I favor McKinley. I have been a Democrat all my life, and will vote the Republican ticket thiselection for the first time. W. J. Tilley—I consider protection to home industry the most important ques- tion before the people to-day. Julius Bamberger—I favor the election of McKinley. In my opinion, Bryan rep- resents all that is vicious and against the best interests of the whole country. Charles Rummelsburg—I am subject to wages, and am under the belief that the election of Bryan would prove. disastrous to the wage-earners. I favor McKinley. J. H. Davis—I favor the election of Mc- Kinley. I believe it is for the best interest of my country. Simon Caro—Protection is what we want for all our people, whether for the poorest or the richest. McKinley is solid on that point. . Tnomas H. Nichols—I find in my trav- els tirough the State that McKinley is gaining every day, and will carry Califor- nia by 12,000. W. E. Cumback—I favor the election of McKinley because of my conviction that he will promote a policy of vital interest at this time—sound money and protection. Edward A. Kaher—My choice for Presi- dent is McKinley, God bless him. Elect him and we will have better times. There ara letters arriving by every mail from commercial travelers, Many only say, “I favor the election of William Mec- Kinley for President.”” Among this num- ber are the following well-known men: J.

Shannon, A. D. Levy, Frank J. Connelly. Very few commercial travelers who ex- press a preference for William J. Bryan give their reasons. Below are a few sample utterances: J. H. Mitwchell—1 feel that Bryan would be the best man for the people. George E. Millar—I favor the election of Bryan for President. He’s all right.. Joseph A. Wilson—I am satistied that free silver will be protection. Sol Davidson—I favor the election of Bryan for the reason that I consider him the anti-monopolist and the anti-syndicate candidate, George W. Jordan--I *believe in silver and protection. My strong belief is that silver is for the country's good. Among those who favor Bryan are the following: A. H. Jessee, D. B. Sellus, J. P. Thun, Isidor Cohn, J. Cohn, Andy Hampel, W. J. Mitchell, W. Kroeger, E. J. Isham, D. A. Mendenhall, F. M. Wood, W. Davis, T. W, Schiller, Samuel Braun- hart, A. P. Mathews, J. H. Mitchel, S. Baruch. WHERE IS WERNER? He Left San Jose to Come to San Fran- clsco and Has Since Been Missing. Joseph Werner, who has been living in San Jose four or five years, came to this City last Tuesday with the intention of entering the German Hospital as a pa- tient, he baving been ill some time. He had with him some money and was very well dressed. BSince he left San Jose nothing has been heard from him. Yes- terday his friends came to the City from San Jose to look for him. All the hospi- tals were visited, but no knowledge of him was gained. He has not been in the hos- vitals. His friends, much surprisea and distressed, are looking for him without any clew, Werner is aged 4. He is about 5 feet and 4 inches and of medium build. His face is very white from sickness. His hair is “r{ dark, almost black, and his mustache is brown. His eyes are dark brown. He wore a dark suit when he left Ban Jose and also a black slouch hat. He speaks English with a strong German ac- cent. Axwrne{ B. F. Leib of San Jose and J. W. Taylor, 675 Mission street, are searching for Werner and fear that he has met with foul play. —————— ‘Wanted for Perjury. Louise Debernardi, 14 years of age, swore to a complaintin Judge Campbell’s court yester- day, charging Mrs. Emalie Uhlmann with per- jury. Loulse was arrested about a week ago on the churge of cruelty to animals preferrcd by Mrs. Uhlmann, who has a ranch on the San Bruno road. The charge was dismissed by Judge Campbell on Thursday, hence the war- rant for perjury. PARDON CONVICTS AND BANQUET A Special Session of the State Prison Di- rectors. Liberty for an Old Man Who Has Served Over Twenty Years. FAVORABLE PAROLE REPORTS. Ex-Director J. H. Neff Presented With a Beautiiul Silver Set by His Colleagues. A meeting of the prison directors was held yesterday, a week in advance of the regular date. This was in order that the board and officers might properly present their respects to J. H. Neff, the recently retired prison director. Directors Wil- kins, Hayes, Devlin and President Fitz- gerald were present and hastened through with the routine business. L. Wadham, the expert accountant, pre- sented a report ihat he had examined the books of the board and prison officials, and that all moneys, accounts, etc., were correct as presented by Clerk Ellis. The total cash on band is $597647; cash belong- ing to prisoners, $3325 69, The several funds on October 1 were as follows: Gen- eral appropriation, $116,047 22; State prison fund, $180 90; jute revolving fund, $88,527 38; cash in bank, $5876 07; cash in vault, $100 40. Total, $210,731 97. Reports from twelve parole convicts in various parts of the Btate were read and led thedirectors to believe that the system is working to good ends. Tue twelve men have saved over and above expenses some- thing like $500. Nearly all who have been rédleased on parole seem to be trying to lead better lives. George Gruel, a rancher sentenced to five years’ imprisonment for stealing a horse and buggy from a stable at Hollister, asked to be released on parole. His inends stated that the larceny was the ougrowth of a drunken spree and not from any criminal intent, as he had plenty of money at the time. Gruel has only served one year. Jobn Henley, who has been in the prison over twenty years, asked to be released on parcle. . The oid man was convicted of murder for having killed 8 man named Braumstetter in Hamboldt County. The trouble was over a game of cards. Henley once before endeavored to secure executiv. clemency, but failed for some reason. Henley is now 62 years of age. The board decided to recommend the Governor to commute Henley’s sentence to thirty-three and a third years. . With the credits the.old man has earned by good behavior he will be released in'a month if the Governor accedes to the rec- ommendation. The old man recelved the news with unmoved face and - said that he bad been disappointed so oiten thav there Was no use to shout until he was out and free again. The board also decided to recommend that Governor Budd pardon David Johns, who was sentenced to five y for grand larceny. The prisoner's youth and the wishes of prominent citizens of 8an Fran- cisco induced this recommendation. Robert Bennett, scconded by his friends in this City, made a great effort to secure a parole. He was sentenced to a long term of imprisonment for having com- mitted a felonious assault upon a woman on Polk street. He denied that he was guilty of the crime, and claimed that on the occasion he was very drunk. All of t e parole cases not heard or decided yesterday will be considered to- day. 2 ’fhe directors granted Warden Hale two weeks’ leave of absence, as that official has not been in good heaith of late. Beveral weeks ago Ye Git Tong severely stabbed Gee Goon in the dining-room, the trouble growing out of a long standing feud between the two, A short time ago Goon stabbed Tong. The board decided to take away all the credits due to Tong and send Goon back to the Folsom prison 80 as to have them separated. Warden Hale said that in the commit- ment of Dick Williams United States Judge Morrow had erased the words “bard labor.” He did not know how to interpret this order, as the Warden has to follow the State law. ‘T'he board believed that Judge Morrow simply meant that “Thrifty Dick” should not be put at exc-ssively hard labor. President Fitzgerald did not believe that it was necessary to send Williams out to work on the road with the road gang, as he might spoil the other convicts, nor is it necessary that the prisoner should be kept in idleness. Governor Budd was expected at the meeting, but he did not arrive in time to attend the afternoon meeting. J. H. NEFF FETED. The Ex-Prison Director Recelves a * Beautiful Silver Water Set. A short time ago J. H. Neff resigned as one of the Board of State Prison Directors and his place was filled by the appoint- ment of B. T. Devlin, who had previously served in the same capacity. Mr. Neff’s colleagues desired to present him with some token of respect and after communi- cating their wishes to Warden Hale left the entire matter in his hands. The lat- ter did justice to the responsibility re- posed in him, Last evening there was a pleasant gath- ering in the Director’s house at San Quen- tin. Shortly after the board adjourned in the afternoon Governor Budd and Mr. Neff arrived from BSan Francisco. As their carriage appeared around the hill the S8an Quentin brass band struck up *Hail to the Chief,”” which was well rea- dered by the boys in stripes. Several other pieces were played, After the guests had rested they repaired to the house mentioned and sat down to a sump- tuous feast. Those present were: Gov- ernor Budd, J. H. Neff, Warden Charlas Aull of FolSom, L. Wadham, Captain W. G. Leale, Captain John Leale, Frank Lin- coln, R. Flaicher Tilton, R. M. Fitzgerald, R. T. Devlin, Daniel E. Hayes, J. H. Wii- kins, Warden W.E. Hale and J. V. Eilis. President Fitzgerald presided, and in a well-turned speech presented r. Neff with a beautiful soild silver set, consisting of a pitcher, goblet and salver. On the pitcher was inscribed the following: Presented to Hon. J. H. Neff, ex-prison di- rector, by his colleagues on_the present board of State_prison directors, Edgar J. de Pue, Daniel E. Hl’lyal. R. M, Fiizgerald, J. H. Wilk- ins, Robert T. Deviin. J.V. Ellis, secretary; W. E. Hale, warden. » Ban Quentin, Oct. 3, 1896, It was a late hour before the guests and their friends retired. During the evening, which was Jnuud with music, songs, speeches and recitations, the following toasts were proposed and responded to: “To our honored 1uel\, J. H. Neff' by R. T. “His Exce! lem:;a Governor Budd,” R. M. Hlll?'nld' *The Funny Side of Life,” Frank Lincoin; “The State Prison Directors and Their Duties,” J. H.

Second Day’s Shoot of the Cali- fornia Sportsmen’s Asso- ciation. SOME GO0OD SCORES MADE. Many Clean Scores Made— Ties Carried Through Various Events. The second day’s shooting . of the Cali- fornia Sportsmen’s Association was held at San Bruno yesterday, where some ex- cellent woik was done. The first entry was with six birds, with an entrance fee of $5. In this maich Prince Poniatowski took a hand, and ac- quitted himself with honors, tying the crack marksman Feudner on the last bird. In consequence of the evenness of the ame it was decided to throw the contest nto the nd entry. In this Robinson’s gun went back on him in some manner and he withdrew, as did the Prince, leaving a tie between Fan- nine, Haight and Feudner, each of whom took down twelve birds. They divided the entrance, and pro- ceeded on the third entry of a similar number of birds. In this contest Prince Poniatowski was more foriunate, as he tied the crack State sportsman Feudner, each taking down eleven birds, and leav- ing Slade, Robinson, Fanning ard Webb with ten each. Haight and Fox withdrew n;. tllu seventh and eighth round respec- tively. Poniatowski and Feudner divided the entrance, as the Prince had to return to the City on the 12 o’clock train. The great event of the afternoon was the shoot for the Fay diamond medal. Robinson withdrew early in the event, leaving - Slade, Feudner, Webb, Fox, Haight and Grubb Lo shoot it out. After & most p?ratrneced contest, all withdrew, leaving Fox and Feuduer in the field, and as each man succeeded in tumbling all its birds, it looked as if it wouid have to be a draw. Five more birds were trapped and the two marksmen started in again, but Fox missed his first bird and Feudner rolled over his five, and was thus declared the winner of the medal and the sum ot $47, vesides being credited on the secretary’s books with a free entry for next year's contest.
