It now declares that the man must be protectedeas weil as the product of his labors. Wherefore, we demand that the immigra- tion laws be amended so as to absolutely prohibit the filling of the marts of labor in | America with laborers from foreign Jands. We demand the enactment of such legis- lation regarding Hawaii} Porto Rico and such other territory as may be acouired by the United States as will protect American workmen against contract Chinese, Japan- ese or other contract labor found therein and will_prevent any further influx or ex- tension thereof T We also demand that Congress exclusion act prohibiting further Japan- and coolie immigration, and ths such exclusion act shall prohibit both the Japan- and Chinese now located in the Ha- alian Islands from entering the United States. Economy in the expenditures of t! rev- enues of the individual or t.e State is ab- solutely necessary to the happiness of the man and the security of the community. The Republican party now, as ever, lleves in a rigld economy in 11 d ments of the government, city, county State. We pledge all our candidates to an economical administration of public affairs, to the end that taxation may be reduce to the smallest rate commensurate with the needs of the public weltare. We oppose the doctrine of the tax,” of which the Democratic nominee for Governor s the apostle, as being socialls- tic and anarchistic, and the practical work- ings of whi be to release 'stocks, bonds, corporations and usurers from tax- ation and place its burdens on the farmers and owners of homesteads. We approve of the war revenue recently | passed by Congress as belng in line with | the above sentiments, as it compels the | Juxuries and the corporations and aggre- | =at® wealth of the nation to pay a greater yet not improper share of the taxation made hecessary by the war than any revenue measure heretofore adopted.

The voters have always a rem- edy for the ills that they think afflict them | "Dy a_change of officials In the manner pro- | videa by the organic law of the land. We deprecate the attempt by the Democratie- Populistic-Fusion party of California to stir hatred of the judiclary and contempt nees to the use of all honorable means in their power for the creation of such a de- partment. We look forward with pardonable pride to the early construction, already assured, of the restraining barriers for which a half million of dollars has been appro- priated by our State and National govern- ments. The mineral lands of California should be preserved for occupation and develop- ment by the miner, and we pledge our nom- inees for Congress to labor for such nNa- tional legislation as will fully accomplish this result. The navigable highways of California, forming as they do an effective means of regulating the rates of transportation throughout a large portion of our State, are gentitied to such legislative and Co: Gressional aid as will insure their proper fmprovement and protection, and in_this connection e denounce the action of the present Democratic Governor in prevent- ing the dredging and other contemplated improvement of our navigable rivers, after an appropriation had been made therefor by a Republican Legislature. The present year has demonstrated again the necessity for a_complete system of ir- rigation which shall enable the land owner fo use, tn dry and rainless summers, the water that is so plentiful in the winters and by its means secure fruitful crops from what Is now worse than wasted soll. The redemption of the many millions of acres of the present arid lands of America is & task that should engage the Immediate and constant attention of the authorities. both State and Federal, for its success will add promptly and immeasurably to our taxable wealth and population. The conserving of the flood waters of winter will require the investment of many millions of dollars, which, if invested by private capital, would subject the settler and land owner to imposition and extortion. We, therefore, pledge our representatives in Congress to the policy of the location and construction of a system of storage Teservoirs by the General Government. The interests of the miner, farmer and Jumberman are involved in the preservation and reproduction of our forests. We pledge our representatives to the enactment and energetic enforcement of such laws as will Protect and preserve our forests, as one of our great natural resources. The tree is the mother of the fountain, and the widespread destruction of our for- osts by fire threatens to diminish the sup- Ply of water for mining and irrigation and Yo entirely destroy the lumber industry of the State at @ time when the demand for Jlumber abroad promises great prosperity to that trade. The Republican pledged to such party of California is legislation as will thor- Sughly protect the dairy interests and the publle from impositions in the sale of dairy products, and the nominees of the party will Larefully and thoroughly enforce this pledge. ‘ i | ,..um —_— S~ ———— the Pardee Fight. | of the 1aw as calculated, 1f not desighed, to | fap the foundations of our republic and \g aparchy upon our country.

A miversity of California has in the past been the reciplent of the care of the Tepublican party, under whose liberal sup- port it has been emabled to reach its pres- Pt high standard. We piedge ourselves to continue that support and to make the University worthy in cvery respect of the most enthusiastic hopes of the people. It ftly crowns the educational system of our State. The mining industry, ranking as it does among the foremost industries of our State, f< entitled to the fostering care of both our State and National governments. and We congratulate the miners of California that legislation inaugurated by a Republi- can Governor and carried to completion by a Republican Legislature and a Republi- can Congress, placed their industry where it rightfully belongs, and surrounded it with such legislative safeguards as has restored confidence among those engaged in the min- ing industry and caused a large and repld increase in the vield of the mineral pro- duets of California. We pledge our Legislative and Congres- sional nominees to continue the work so happily begun under Republican auspices until all needful Jegiglation in behalf of the mining industry shall have been accom- plished. We favor the creation of a National Exe- The necessities of the people and the re- quirements of trade alike demand good roads in every part of the ..

It has no excuse for its commissfon and its perpetrators should be punished and the practice forever pre- vented. We demand the vigorous enforcement of the laws already passed against this infa- mous traffic and the passage and stringent enforcement of such other measures as are needed to give the officials full power to eradicate this blot upon civilization and properly punish those engaged in this ne- farious business. We belleve that a judiclous appropriation should be Inaugurated and maintained’ whereby the State and District Fairs shall be properly aided and thus awaken & new interest in_agricultural, horticultural and stock-breeding pursuits. The Republican party has ever been the fearless champlon of the downtrodden and oppressed and has always stood sponsor for the maintenance of fair wages under just conditions, therefore we place our party, our candidates and ourselves unreservediy on record as favoring leglslation beneficial to the industrial classes of this State, and we favor and recommend the use of the Allled Printing Trade label ‘on all political print- ing as a guarantee that sald work was exe- cuted by competent craftsmen under fair conditions. "The free labor and the industries of Call- fornia are constantly suffering from the evil of convict labor, and large quantities of goods, the product of prison labor in other States, are being imported and sold in Californla. This unjust and most vicious competition can only be met by judicious legislation on the part of our State and national repre- sentatives. The Republican party of the State of California, in State convention afsembled, hereby declares {tself unalterably opposed to convict labor being brought into competi- tlon -with free labor, and hereby pledges itself in support of any measure designed to protect and foster free labor and the in- dustries of our State against the evil effects of convict labor. ‘And we are in favor of the passage of such laws as will cause such convicts to be employed upon the public highways of this State, thersby withdrawing them from competition with free labor In all branches of_industries. We favor the passage of a law by the Congress of the United States confining the gale of goods, wares and merchandise manu- factured by convict labor to the State or Territory. in which they are produced. Where municipal charters have been adopted by the vote of the citizens of municipalities, under constitutional provis- jons, we request our Legislative candidates o Vote to approve the same in the Legis- lature. The purity of elections Is the salvation of the country. All parties willingly sub- mit to an election fairly conducted and in which the ballots have been honestly counted; no other election should be tol- erated or permitted. The foundation of ail selections of officlals Is the primary of a political party: such primaries should be as onestly conducted as general elections. No partisan §s bound by the decision of a dfs- honest primary. We therefore declare our- selves unreservedly in favor of a law regu- lating the primary elections of all political parties, to the end that the same protec- tion may be extended by the Australian sys- tem to primary elections now extended to general elections under the general elec- tion law. ‘We heartily indorse the work of the State League of Republican Clubs and recognize the great Importance of club organization. WAVERED It Weakfi Pardee’s Fight by Not Stand- ing Firm. A Reckoning Awaited in Sev- eral Camps Before Har- mony Is Restored. ® ® © > ® & ® CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAK- LAND, Aug. 2i—Resolved, That George C. Pardee be constituted a committee of one to trade the 68 votes. of the Alameda County Convention as he sees fit, provid- ing that he does not infringe on any special privileges granted the delegates from Alameda City. PPPPOPOP906 @ The foregoing resolution, passed at the caucus held in Sacramento night by the Alameda delegation, is sald no doubt that it will be demanded before the county convention which meets Sep- tember 19. Some of the returning delegates declare that Alameda County was disparaged in the eyes of the rest of the delegates by the claim that her own delegation was not unanimous, and that Lou Brown could count on nearly a dozen votes from this county. . The report sent out to all the newspapers of the State that the nine delegates from the city of Alameda were not for Pardee and did not wear his badges is calculated to have done as much harm to the Alameda man’s cause as though they had bolted the Alameda delegation in the convention. To alleged position of Alameda City’s deles gates is largely attributed the defeat of Dr. Pardee. Ten da, ago a letter was received in this city by a politician from Lou Erown. p Brown referred to his chances of winning the nomination and informed his correspondent that any ticket on which' tiie name of J. B. Lank- tree appeared or in which Lanktree was especlally interested might be sup- ported by his (Brown's) friends with col fidence. ~ This letter was shown to many responsible people and created much comment. Since the manner in which the Alameda City delegation, of which Joe Lanktre a member, acted at Sacr mento has become known, the subject has been revived with considerable in- | terest, and when Joe comes back he will no doubt tell all he knows about fit. There was some suspicion that the letter was a forgery it has been-vouched for to-day as wine. Dr. Pardee's stanchest friends declare that it was thoroughly understood before the primaries that the “unpledged” ticket in Alameda City was solid for him, and on that acount. and relying upon that assur- ance, his regular ticket was withdrawn. It appears that there some misunder- standing, for which also an explanation mAA“no doubt be demanded. sorts of stories have been circulated in Oakland twenty-four hours T ses and plans of the City delegation. It is more than probable that many of them were started by Oakland candidates for county offices who are interested in In- Juring the chances of Alameda’s two an- nounced candidates—Jim Barber for Tax Collector and Oscar Rogers for Sheriff. However this may be, there will have to be a reckoning between certain camps if harmony is to prevail. There are many ready to defend Joe Lanktree and E. K. Taylor, who were supposed to have led their delegation, and the point is made | that Taylor, who is a candidate for State | Senator, would hardly be likely to take a stand opposed to the unanimous wish of Alameda County, which if taken must have jeopardized 'his political These are some of the matters that will be threshed out before the end of the | week. Some of Lanktree's friends declare that the Alameda City delegafion was a unit with the county all the ' time and | that the stories of inkarmony were |clrculated by interested parties, who thought that in the Alameda in- | cident the saw a straw to grasp at which might be used to injure the entire county. This element of speculation will also enter into the general reckoning. g IRISH FAIR EVENTS. - | Firemen Will Have the Right of Way To-Night. One of the new features at the Irish Fair last evening was a voting contest {on the map of Ireland, in charge of Miss | Nellie Sullivan and Miss Josie Malloy, for | the most popular county in the Emerald | Isle. The sod of the county receiving the { most votes will be placed in a stone re- ceptacle in Golden Gate Park, in a con- | spicuous location, and planted with shamrocks.

A. | Haran, who played the chief. Miss Lil- | lan Forsythe, with the dance of the Irish fairies, in charge of Mrs. Dreyfus, met | with arty applause. The art collection in the theater in- cludes _many pictures by celebrated art- | ists. These paintings have been loaned, | and came from some of the most refined and wealthy people in this city. Last | evening the famous painting of ‘“The Mur- E,hy Party at Donner Lake,” by Andrew “Hill, was added to the collection, and aftracted a great deal of attention.
