8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1898. ' JUDGE MAGUIRE OPE Silver Pops and Democrats in Numbers Ral Honor. He Scores De Young, Advocates Single Tax and Casts Reflections on the Army and Administration. James G. Maguire, the Populist-Sil- | ver Republican-Democratic nominee for Governor, opened his campalgn last evening at Metropolitan Temple. To assist him in making the occa- slon worthy of the cause his mana- gers assembled as many of the pinto nominees on the State ticket as could be gathered together. These were as- sembled on the platform, together with a miscellaneous lot of Populists "and Democrats who are more or less known to political fame. When the meeting was called to order the body of the hall and the gallery were packed to suffocation by persons of both sexes, whose presence was due to their desire to welcome or witness the welcome of the Democrati¢ stand- ard-bearer. Five minutes after Judge Maguire began to speak members of the audience began to file out by twos and threes and by the time he had con- | cluded his address fully two-thirds of | the seats in the hall were vacant. The greater portion of the time occu- pled by Judge Maguire’s address was devoted to a demonstration and de- fense of his acts as Congressman. Each plank of the Democratic State platform, which was taken up by him in turn, was made the excuse for a lengthy recitation' of his position on various matters that came to the at- tention of Congress, as well as a de- tailed explanation of some of his acts in connection therewith. After having gone through the list of planks in the platform and suffering the loss of one-half his audience Ma- guire said that he wished to refer | briefly to the question of single tax. He contended that single tax is not an | ue in this campaign, and then devot- d half an hour to telling his auditors why he believes the theory of single tax to be the cure for all social and po- litical evils. Having left no doubt as to his views on this subject, as well as his desire to have every ome else become as ardent a single-tax advocate as him- self, he dropped the subject and pro- ceeded to pay his compliments to M. | H. de Young and the San Francisco Chronicle. He declared that he had | been vilified by the newspaper and its proprietor. He scored the would-be | United States Senator, greatly to the | delight of his auditors as well as to his | own apparent satisfaction. In his opening remarks Judge Ma- guire made reference to the war just closed, and by insinuation-attempted to | cast discredit on the administration, and, inferentially, on the army and its commanding officers. He declared that | lorable mistakes had been made in nduct of the war,” and that these mistakes were “due to negligence and | incompetence.” He also said that e meaning the Democratic party, | “are not in a position to place the | blame and we do not charge it against | any one in particular.” With mock | ignation he asserted that the Demo- crats were “willing to treat it as a | common sorrow.” He referred to the details of the military operations that | resulted in so much glory to the Ameri- | can forces in Cuba as “dark and inex- | cusable chapters of incompetency.” | The meeting was called to order by | Seth Mann, chairman of the Demo- | cratie State Central Committee. He ad- dressed the meeting at some length on what he conceived to be the issues of | the campaign and closed by declaring | is that the Democrats have the Republi- | c#ns “on the run now and we propose | to keep them in that condition.” He | then introduced Mayor Phelan as the | chairman of the evening. The Mayor was well recelved and showed his appreciation by speaking for almost an hour.of the things the Democrats proposed to do and telling why they propose to do them. He eu- logized Judge Maguire and in his de- fense of that gentleman declared that Maguire’s utterances in the past had nothing to do with the issues of the present campaign. He said that if San Francisco can give Magulre even as large a majority as it gave Governor Budd he will be elected. At the close of his remarks he introduced Senator Stephen M. White. Senator White prefaced his remarks by declaring that it was not his inten- tion to make a speech, but he forgot his promise. He asserted that the Re- | publican ticket is the ticket of the | Southern Pacific Company, threshed over the old wheat of the San Pedro | and Santa Monica affair, referred to the stand taken by the Los Angeles Times, eulogized Maguire and solemnly de- clared that while Henry T. Gage was an estimable gentleman and his per- sonal friend he (Gage) has no experi- | ence in statecraft. He closed by assert- ing that single tax is not the issue of the campaign. Mayor Phelan then did the honors of the evening by introducing to the audi- | ence James H. Barry, Democratic nom- inee for Congress in the Fourth Dis- trict; BEdward L. Hutchinson, Populist nominee for Democratic Lieutenant Governor; H. P. Andrews, nominee for Attorney General; W. S. Green, nomi- nee for Treasurer; William M. Hinton, nominee for Rallroad Commissioner, Second District, and Henry A. McCra. ney, Silver Republican Aominee for Democratic Clerk of the Supreme Court. After each of these gentlemen had made his bow Maguire took the platform and the exodus began, i bt MAGUIRE'S ADDRESS. Mr. Chairman and fellow D ladies and gontlemen: To pay that T s pleased with the splendid gathering of my fellow citizens to ald in' the opentng | of the campaign, and the inspiring enthu- glaam which you have manifested, would ebly express t I prines o mg'i fln e teeling which e are entering upon a cam fraught with much lmpup:tnnce to uf:‘ fi:fll terests of the peogle. under ausplces that ve us the brightest hopes of victory. e come to this campaign asking for a continuance of guwer in the hands of those who have been put forward as the representatives of the three great reform garueu in_California to-day, with splen- id records of State and xmmlx:lml-p ad- ministration behind them; with a State administration which has fairly and hon- orably redeemed its e'vu‘r‘y pledge to the people; with a nmnlclr administration under the leadership of our distinguished chairman to-night, which has more than verified, more than realized, all the hopes of the people who with bl h expectations laced }F in tha honorable office which now fills. We come into this contest with a fair and honorable and satisfac- m union of t.h% ocratic, People's _Silver Repyblican parties _lvr tha | {vrnperly with food and clothing and med- | | Annje Wheeler, daughter of NS HIS CAMPAIGN ly to Do Him great purposes aud principles for which you stand. We were placed before the people by untrammeled conventions, rep- resenting and speaking the sentiments of the common peopie of the State on the occasion of the meeting of each State convention. The speaker then ncmed in succession the nominees on the ticket, saying a com- plimentary word for each. “‘On the other side,” he said, ““we have a ticket that certainly was not happy in its presentation to the people of California, of which I took occasion to say what Senator White has more emphatically said to-night, that it was nominated by a convention dominated wholly by South- ern Pacific Rallroad influences. Its dom- Ination by rallroad Influences was a mats ter of common repute from all sections of the State from which delegates went to attend the convention. “Its platform is a rallroad platform, giving all that the Southern Pacific Com- pany could have demanded had the con- vention turned the writing of the plat- form over to the company. It was turned over to some of the company’s represent- atives very largely, and is very largely the product of their hands and mnds. Every known railroad candidate inat was supported in advance of the nomination by the Southern Pacific Company was duly nominated by the convention. Be- fore the convention named a man for any office on the Republican State ticket the San Francisco Call procured from some source the entire ticket that was to be nominated and published it, from Gover- n& down to the last candidate on the ticket, exactly as the convention after- ward nominated it.” The speaker then took up what he termed the issues of the campaign, dis- cussing them in great detall, speaking successively of each plank and section of the platform. Speaking of the plank in the platform referring to the war he said: he plat- form commends and glorifies the nnble‘ services of our soldiers and sailors in the war. They have added luster to our country’s fame and glorified her flag &nd | made It respected throughout the world. | And to them all honor. In the admin- istration of the affairs of the war certain deplorable mistakes were made, mistakes | resulting from incompetency somewhere, | from negligence somewhere, from negli- | gence and Incompetency that can have had no good excuse. Yet we are not in a position to place the blame, and we do not charge it upon anybody in particu- lar. The fallure to supply our soldiers | cal attendance and proper care is a| scandal that must and will be investi- gated and the responsibility placed where it belongs. But until that is done, until after due investigation, we may say or know who was responsible and compel | him, or them, to answer for that res sibility, we are willing to treat that s dal as a common sorrow of the American people and pass it thus in silence—no, not in silence; out of even that dark and in- excusable chapter, written by this ‘ncom- petency, written by this neglect 5 fur- nish needed supplies and care to o .r sol- diers, there has come even from that dark and unpromising source a glory to | our nation that will live in history. with the brightest memories of the war itself. | Out of all that dark and humiliating scan- | dal has come the glory won by the vol-| unteers of the Red Cross Sociéty. (Ap- plause.) Into every breach left open. by official negligence, to every suffering soldier, suf- fering not because Congress had falled to provide money for ail his necessities—be- cause Congress provided ample means and infinitely more—to the bedside of every suffering and neglected soldier, to every camp where privation resuiting | from lack of sufficient clothing, lack o sufficient or proper food, lack of medicine lack of medical attendance, lack of nurs. ing, went the glorious women of the Red Cross Soctety and of other religious and benevolent orders devoted to that noble work. Their history must be written in connection with the brightest work of the Deweys and the Schleys and the leaders on land and sea of ail the military and naval forces. I know of no incident of the war more touching, more glorfous, than was the case of Annie Wheeler's trip to Santiago. 1 General Joe Wheeler, lived 'in Washington during the whole period of my residence there as your representative. 1 knew her as a gentle, genial and popular society lady, who_would be expected to shrink from the hardships of the camp and the hor- rors of the hospital, yet at her country’s call she volunteered and went imme- diately to the shore of Florida, eager to g0 on the scenes of war and strife, and £he went- bearing the love and pity of our great nation’s heart down to the hospitals of the fever-haunted shores of Southern Cuba, bearing those blessings and tributes even to the smoking _hell of battle in which her llant father led the fighting mga in which her brave brother followed the flag. [Apglause.) What she did every sister of the Red Cross Soclety stood pre- pared to do. - What she did many others who went forth but whose names are not yet recorded upon the scroll of fame did and did bravely. Honor to them! An out of the darkness of the darkest chap- ter of the war's history comes the glot: of the record made by those noble an self-sacrificing American women. [Ap- plause.] The speaker here took up the plat- form and spoke at length on each part. Judge Maguire took up the subject of the Democratic State platformn and dis- cussed its various planks at length. He also made lengthy reference to his rec- ord in Congress on legislation affecting the interests of this State, The platform declares for an amend- ment, No. 10, now pending to the con- stitution of California, giving the people of the countles in the’ State the right to a volce in determining by what rules and in what manner their county govern- ment shall be administered. It declares in favor of the principle of direct legis- lation, In favor of its immediate appli- cation to the municipal affairs. uch denunciation has been heaped by. the op- position lprens and by opposition” speakers {pon this plank 1n the platform—direct gislation, the control of their laws the people; that is what it means, 24 It does not mean, as they contend, that all laws shall necessarily be adopted by that method. The Democratic system of government involves it in its very essence; the Republican system is a government by aienc&. by agents selected by the people, The Republican system which has been acquiesced in in this country from the be- ginning has given to such agents absolute power, wer not to be controlled by the eople through their terms of office. That as been found to work badly. It has been found that combinations of people interested in special privileges have inter- fered in elections, have sought by‘corrum combinations and influences to 'control elections, and have succeeded in doing so; that they have bribed legislative repre- sentatives in State, county and municipal government, particularly government, In the great scramble and -tmg_fu for the riches that come to spec- ial privilege under the favors of mu.nlc?;a.l legislatures. Now, if special privileges are to be con- tinued at all and popular government is to be continued you must in some way make correction eéffective; you must re- store to ‘the people and retake to the peo- ple a power that they never should have abandoned; the power that whenever a flagrant violation of their rights is com- mitted corruptly by their representatives in any .legislative body.vfru,t or ‘small, ple can br!nF about a review of that ac- & reasonable percentage of the peo- tion by calling for a vote of the ple upon it. That 15 the meaning -nf” ur- fiou of that provision. The retennSum the reference of constitutional amend- ments to the people for consideraf and action. I say it has not worl badly. | 6 308 06 06 30 306 308 308 308 X0 30X 30¢ 0K 308 308 306 308 308 308 306 106 30¢ 306 0 X0 30 30¢ 308 X0 308 308 30 308 308 306 X0 30K 308 308 30K X0 30X 308 306 0 306 30¢ 306 306 306 X 3% - 1o JIM GALLAGHER WAS GTHERE 5 .-“ thaismve THE CROWD, To .;unansut.e.-f — '] CAN PUT ME HAND ON THE MANZSAID PHELAN: 0608 300K 3030 30 30 30630 306 3030 10 1010 10 10 06 oK 06 16 1€ Y9 10 30 10 10 10 106 68 10 100 6 X8 10 300 306 3030 30K 30 30300 00 30K X0 X0 30 300 0 ¢ % p=$=1 & % O'MALLEY'S REPORT .

I intended to say a few words on two other ques- tions, and I shall do so very briefly. In order to escape all of the propositions contained In the Democratic platform, in order to avold their discussion, in order to shelter the special privileges against which those propositions are aimed, they cry out that the Democratic candidate for Governor believes in the single tax. (A] plause.) And that, therefore, mvsu?; would be likely to become a single tax tate right away if he should be elected. flntt_le‘; me ove&mucla mtthfl“tl lon, ey are attempting to rt:to with terror as to the tremendous e b= | ticket by presenting fictitious issues and | ctaiming that the horrors of financial ruin '(Laughten;l And they seem to have made up their platform preue" generally in the same way. They liked certain the State. They are told that the con- stitution of California, as it stands at present, prevents the adoption of the sin- gle tax. ~ Oh, but they say, with a man like the Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor a change in the constitution would be a very simple matter to secure; that 1 if he should be elected Governor some- how he would at once convince a major- ity/of the people of California that they ought immediately to adopt the single tax. I wish I could feel that I would have that influence over the people of California. (Renewed applause.) Now let me tell you, my friends, why it is that the single tax is not and can- not be an issue in the present campaign. First, because it cannot be adopted until the people adopt a constitutional amend- ment; and when the people are ready to adopt such a constitutional amend- ment the man who says that they should be prevented from doing it is not an American. (Applause.) Not only is he not a_Democrat but he i8 not an Ameri- can. The peogle of this State have a right to adopt such constitutional amendments as a majority of the people may desire to adopt. ut no such change in our sys- tem of taxation can be made until the people do adopt a constitutional amend- ment providing for or authorizing it. But they forget another obstacle that I would run up against in trying to sub- mit such a constitutional amendment to the people. I do not want to discredit my own power as they have conceded it to me.. It rather flatters me to think that they are so much afrald of me, but I must out of deference to the truth state what the situation is. I would en- counter the obstruction that would re- sult from the fact that my own party has not declared in favor of the propo- sition. So that you see the danger—the bogie | man—that the gentlemen ot the platform committee of the Republican State Con- vention present to the people has very little substantial existence, and that the | reason why single tax men are not press- ing for such an amendment to the con- stitution or to make their proposition an issue in the campalgn is that in the pres- | ent state of education on the subject it | would be a waste of effort to do any- | thing of the kind. Do the Republicans realf believe ‘that the single tax would be Hiely to be adopted if I were elected? Do they really fear that? Or are they doing as they did in the Tilden campaign, when they went over the country with faces drawn in imitation of plety and patriotism, declaring that if Tilden were elected the Confederate debt would be as- sumed by the Federal Government, and | they actpally secured the electoral votes of some of the States upon that ridiculous assurance. Are they doing as they did in the last campaign, trying to frighten and bully people into “supporting the and varlous evils would fall upon tne poorer classes of the country if they should support their own interests and not supp resented by that party? the people that way sometimes, but they can’t fool them that way twice, or in two successive elections. The Republican Conventfon did not know what the single tax was, and most of those who adopted that platform don’t know yet. They say that it is socialistic and anarchistic. Now, it cannot be both. Anarchy is the abolition of government. Socialism is the concentration of al power in the Government, of all indus- tries, of all enterprises in the Govern- ment. (Applause.) The ‘one is the oppo- site of the other. Yet they declare in their platform solemnly that the single tax is both. Both! hey didn’t know what it was at all. They thought it was something nasty, but they did not know what it was. The 8an Francisco- Chron- icle comes to their relief in the matter and attempts to save them from public ridicule. It says that it is true that in the Republican platform a was made in this matter; that the single tax is not socialistic, is not anarchistic; that it could not be both. But it savs that the Republican platform didn’t mean that it'was. They just put in those two words because they were words; just words. words and put them in in connection with _what they proposed to do, and they dis- liked other words, and they put them in in condemnation of their opponents. Why, in their declaration on the money ques- tion they declare for the gold standard, and then they declare for an interna- tional monetary agreement. Now what is an International monetary agreement? Why it {s an agreement about money, they say. But what kind of an agree- ment about money? What is it to be for? Not for bimetallism. They have dropped | that out. They were abandoning the bi- | metallic theory in sections; they were | withdrawing from it; they were clipping | off the tail of the animal by inches so as | not to_cause the animal too much pai clipped it off an inch at a time, and so they retained the old international bi- metallic agreementnplank in their plat- form and clipped off the words “for bi- metallism’’; they clipped off those two words and left -the thing absolutely without meaning—just words. Now, my friends, sltho:fh the single tax is not and cannot be issue in this campaign, for the Republican party by declaring negatively Bgfllnst a principle cannot commit the other party to the principle—it can only act for itself; yet I am not willing that my personal opinions on the question of taxation should be misrepresented in this campaign for the purpose of creating prejudice. They say that the single tax is intended to shift the burden of taxation from the wealthy peo- ple to the farmers. Their sympathy for the farmers may be questioned, but I shall not stop to question it mnow. I shall attribute the statement to ignor- ance., Let us see about that. The farm- ers of this State now pay more than 50 er cent of the taxes for the support of 'he State in their direct taxes upon their homes .and personal property, and indi- rectly upon the commodities on which the taxes pald by merchants and others are assed to them. If the farmers could have heir share of the State taxes reduced to 25 per cexi of the whole they would be doing well. Let us see how they would fare under the single tax system. Land values are now assessed separately from their hands raised in holy horror and their | ort the monopoly interests rep- | They can fool | rave mistake | improvements in this State, and the to+ tal amount of the land values assessmen for 1897 was, I believe, $654,000,000—the fig< ures will be found in the reports of the State Controller. Of that amount of land values assessed the city of San Francisco alone contains nearly one-third. Seven cities of the. State contain more than 55 er cent of all the land values in the tate. The other cities and towns cer- tainly contain another 20 per cent, making 75 per cent. f the remaining 2 per cent, not half, nor nearly half, is owned by occupying farmers; more than half is owned by spec- ulators, by others, domestic and = alien, Wwho farm the farmers. (Applause.) Under the single tax system the farmer would BAY, ot exceeding 12} per cent of the tate taxes as against 50 per cent that he now bears. His proportion of the tax would not be more than 10 per cent, be- cause his exemptions would amount to vastly more than the incréased tax upon the land value, and to the farmer the sin-- gle tax would be a beneflcence (applause), and it can be demonstrated from the offi- cial records, and tax rolls. I am not mow advocating the expediency of adopting the single tax because I will not be drawn aside from the issues of the present cam- aign to discuss questions that are not n issue. But I do say that the statement which I have just controverted is glar- infly untrue. eading Republican organs are declaring and have repeatedly declared that the sin- le tax would drive capital from the tate Let us see about that. What is capital? Capital is movable property ap- R“ed to the production of new wealth. Now all such property would be exempt from taxation under the singe tax system. ‘Would exemption from taxation drive capital out of the State? Is there any man who thinks so outside of the editorial room of a rallroad paper, or outside of the platform committee of a Repub- lican ~ railroad convention? It would not drive capital out of the State. It would bring capital into- the State whether It is good or bad it would bring capital into the State instead of driving it out. Would it drive other forms of movable wealth out? No, they would be exempt, and they would flow into the State upon the same principle. Exemption from taxation never drives wealth out of a State. But they they don't say it, but they intimate i oh, it would drive the land out. Well, if it would not drive the land out there is nothing else that is useful to be driven out. . Bo the utter fallacy of that state ment becomes perfectly apparent. The trouble with all these {»enph‘ is that they are ignorant of the subject'they are dis- cussing, utterly ignorant of it; so ignor- ant that men who understand dt dislike ‘lhe simple task of answering them. But they say it is a_measure for the confiscation of land. Not at all. It is | not a proposition to confiscate land. The | confiscation of land would put an-end to the single tax. Can the single tax ap- ply to land belonging to the State? <Cer- tainly not If it is to be taxed it must be in private occupation, and it must be in private occupation under a tenure that will admit of taxation. If the single tax is to be continued the seggregation of | land into private holdings, with exclusive | right of control of the private holdings such as gives the basis and foundation for taxation, must continue to st. And that is the purpose; that is the purpose. But I will tell you what it would. stop. It would stop two men like Miller & Lux from holding 14,000,000 acres of the land of these_three or four Pacific Coast States and Territories in comparative idleness for speculative purposes, while barring hundreds and thousands of American families from the opportunity to make homes upon the land. (Applause.) It would distribute the burdens that are now borne by the farmers and by the manufacturers and by the merchants and by the laborers upon their homes and business and industries over all theso holdings, including the holdings of the | speculators, and it would impose less | taxes upon the homestead owner, be he | farmer or the owner of an urban home, | than falls upon him now. .Have you | thought what a princely possession Mil- { ler & Lux have—one of them is dead, but | the firm goes on—have you thought what a princely possession they are barring the | people of “this country away from for | the mere purpose of speculation?—14,000,- 000 acres of land, 23,000 square miles of { land nearly; 23,000 square miles of la | extending around the earth at the equ tor would form a belt around the earsh, | or within a thousand miles of reac around the earth, a strip a mile wide Now, if the Single Tax were in issuo in this campaign I would point you to that kind of land monopoly on the one hand, and to the degradation of the peo- ple excluded. from the land by this mo- nopoly as one of the things that the Sin- gle Tax is intended to extirpate. But the Single Tax is not an issue in the campaign, and I shall therefore pass fit. Now, there is one other thing to whith I desire to refer a mome; and thdt is rsonal. The San Fran “hronicle as been assailing me with vilificz ever since the opening of the its editor, we are told, has assurances, long before the opening of the campal, that if the Republican legislative ticket shall be elect: he will become United States Senator, and he is trying to the place by vilifying his oppone Those of you who remember the Chronic of twenty years ago will recognize in columns of to-day the old style of black- guardism from which no de; exempt in those days. (G e.) And no decent man will be exempt from its blackguardism now if by blackguhrd- ing -him Mr. de Young can get anything ‘Whenever you see the columns of that paper reeking with blackguardism you-may know ihat Mr. de Young is after something. (Great laughter and a.;éplausfl.b He is after the L‘nFted States Senatorship now. A voice—He will never get it. ‘Well, I don’t know about that. He wi et_it if the railroad ticket wins. s le Young has been obliged to state th he is not a candidate for United States Senator. It would defeat the possibility of his being Senator if he did not deny it. (Laughter and applause.) But those of you who have studied Republican pol- itics as now managed by the Southern Pacific Company will understand that Mr. de Young's denial don’t amount to much. It is not necessary for a Republican to be a candidate now. in order to get office that he wants. 1 DR.
