SHIP MASTERS AND OWNERS GREET GAGE There was quite an imposing scene on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange yes- terday afternoon. From 1 to 2 p. m. near- Iy all the prominent merchants, shipown- ers and masters of vessels gather there daily to discuss business and occasional olitics. POit 2 p. m. yesterday Henry 1. Gage, the Republican candidate for Governor, ac- companied by Hugh Craig, president of the Chamber of Commerce, put in an ap- pearance and was hailed with cheers. He was \introduced to all as ~‘our next Gov- ernor,” and all without exception wished him success. Mr. Gage had not been in the room five minutes before he had made & dozen friends—friends who will be able to do a great deal for him in the coming struggle, Amony those who were introduced to Mr. Gage were, J. Eme ger, Captain J. H. Bruce, W. H. Mighell, F. Emery, J. K. C. Hobbs, Captain Freeman, Captain Alex Swanson, R. G. Sneath, Colonel C. L. Taylor, A. Chesebrough, John Rosen- feld, J. Dailey, Captain T. P. H. Whitelaw, Captain F. W. Jordan, Captain W. I. Gray, Abe Marks, W. B. Downs and J. ‘W. Harrison, who was presented as “a good Democrat.”” Mr. Harrison was charmed with “our next Governor,”’ and is half persuaded to become a good Re- publican. As Mr. Gage was leaving the Exchange building he encountered Mr. Maguire go- ing in. The rival candldates stopped and chatted for a few minutes and then con- tinued on their respective ways. When Mr. Maguire got into the Exchange he found that everybody, except one or two died-in-the-wool Democrats, had left the bullding with Mr. Gage, so he also re- tired, promising to call again to-day. of the first order. Mr. Kahn reasoned, t was the duty of the e phold the brilliant 2dministration of President McKinley. It Wwas due 0 him, he sald, that a Republi- car. Congress should be chosen to sus- tain him. Mention was made of the geo- graphical position of California as re- Jated to the Philippines and the argument was advanced that a magnificent com- merce should be created to enrich the country of the Pacific Coast. The destiny of San Frencisco as a great commerclal city was dwelt upon. Mention was mads of the Federal appropriations demanded to complete the Postoffice in San Fran- cisco, and the point discussed that Cor- gressmen in sympathy with the admi istration should be chosen to repres lifornia. Lz;, J. Truman, Republican candidate for City and County Treasurer, was intro- duced as the second speaker. Mr. Truman remarked that if a vote were taken now the Republicans would roll up an immense majority. He was persuaded to this belief by the enthusiasm for the ticket among the masses of the people. He described the way in which the Democratic State Convention was packed Dby two or three bosses in San Francisco. Mention was made of the “raw” work in packing local conventions. The fact was cited that A. C. Freese, one of the strongest men of the city, was turned down for Public Administrator and a man named Fitzgeraid imported from Oak- land and placed on the ticket. A. B. Treadwell, nominee for Police Judge, was welcomed with great demon- strations of applause. In his speech he exalted the constitution of the United States and paid a tribute of praise to American heroes. Thomas Graham, nominee for Police Judge, was the next speaker. Judge Joachimsen followed with a few remarks. R. R. Duckworth, president of the Spanish-American Republican League of California, was presented to the audience. He made a brief speech. Judge C. A. Low had only a few words to say. He was firmly convinced that the Republican ticket from top to bottom would be elected. He had doubts for a time about the success of the municipal ticket, but now he was convinced that the whole ticket would win. Patriotic songs were sung by Mrs. Bertha Adams. She was cheered and re- sponded to an encore. Chairman de la Torre presented to the audience ex-Governor Romualdo Pacheco, remarking that the distinguished man served in Congress with the noble Wil- liam MecKinley. The applause following the introduction of ex-Governor Pacheco was prolonged and hearty. The ex-Gov- ernor said he appeared before the audi- ence as an old friend—an old public serv- ant—who had endeavored to render the best service in his power. As in'the past, he was now a Republican and a supporter of Republican principles. Mr. Pacheco dwelt upon the forms of government In fusion’ convention, where they declare I am a railroad hireling, are infamous and the man who charges me with such is a | corporate scoundrel himself. (Applause.) In my early manhood I commenced to battle against the right of the railroad to operate this State, and the first political utterance from my lips: was that the Southern Pacific had no right to inter- fere with political affairs.” When Mr. Gage informed his listeners that he assisted Joseph Call in wresting from the railroad corporations of America nearly 30,000,000 acres of land and restored it to the public domain, the applause was deafening. “It is infamous for this man to stand on a political rostrum and declare I am a tool of the railroad. It hurts my heart and I resent it because they strike at the name and homor of my children, whom I love. (Great applause.) Fear not, fellow-citizens, that I will ever be dominated by that kind of influence. If I am elected Governor of this State of California—and T will be its next Gever- nor (continued cheering and cries of *you will’”)—you may depend upen it that when I oecupy that chair there will be a heart beating there for the poor man. No Governor will occupy that chair who has not an ear of sympathy for strug- gling manhood.” At the close of Mr. Gage’'s address the audience arose and gave him three ring- ing cheers, Charles A. Patton, Republican candidate 4 iy m i H’N" | f it if K] il i fif the United States, pointing out the sim- ple features of our system. He spoke of his acquaintance with Henry T. Gage, and from personal association with him knew: his abllitfes. On this topic he said: “I do not Know of one better fitted to fill the office of Governor than Henry T. Gage. Nature has endowed him with qualities which place him in touch with the people.” A few minutes before 11 o'clock there was a great tumult of applause, which signaled the arrival of Henry T. Gage, the Republican standard bearer. Although many had gone home weary of waiting, 1000 people remained to greet the next Governor. The greeting accorded to Mr. Gage was in the nature of an ovation. The audience applauded and cheered for several minutes. Owing to the lateness of the hour the standard bearer did not make a speech. He expressed his grati- tude to the people for the compliment they had paid to him in waiting so long. It was explained that engagements else- where detained him. He promised at some opportune time to speak at greater length, and closed by thanking the peo- ple for the magnificent reception. s A AT THE POTRERO. Republican Nominees Enthusi- astically Received by the Mechanics. The Opera House at the Potrero was packed last night with the mechanics, their wives and children, in the anticipa- tion of seeing and hearing the men that will administer the laws and govern the State and municipality on and after the first Monday of next January. Shortly after 8 o’clock a carriage drove up with the next Governor, Henry T. Gagt; Irving M. Scott, C. S. Laumeister and Alva Watt. These gentlemen were met at the door leading into the hall by T. C. Duft and Dr. T B. de Witt, the lat- ter acting as chairman of the meeting and the former in the capacity of presi- dent of the Potrero Republican Club. As soon as the guests had been seated on the platform T. C. Duff called the meeting to order and introduced Dr. de ‘Witt as chairman of the meeting. This gentleman introduced Irving M. Scott On the introduction of Gage the rafters of the house were made to vibrate. He commenced his discourse by gaining the goodwill of his audience in telling them that he had been a hard-working man in his younger days and as a consequence his sympathies were with the working- man. Maguire claimed to be a black- smith, but he was under the impression that it was a good many years since the single-tax eater had heard the music of the anvil under his own hammer. (Laugh- ter and applause). At the conclusion of Mr. Gage's remarks he was given three cheers by the audi- ence. C. 8. Laumeister, nominee for Railroad Commissioner, was enthusiastically re- celved. He made a short address, telling his audience that in 1868 he lived in the Potrero while following his avocation as an engineer. He was a mechanic and un- derstood the trials and difficulties which beset men who have to work for a living in order to properly support their families. He spoke for the nominees of the party and was sure of the success of the entire ticket on election day. C. F. Curry, W. A. Deane, Edward Shee- han, Thomas F. Graham and Charles L. Patton and Julius Kahn, who arrived late, were received with hearty cheers. All made short addresses which were listened to with marked attention. Graham, who is a nominee for Police Judge, being a | Clitus raduate of the rolliniomllll. had the en- ire sympathy of the boys in the Potrero with him. < Another meeting will be held in the near future at which the municipal nominees alone will be accorded the pleasure of talking to the men who build the ships that command the respect of the whole Horld and add luster to the American ag. Much Democratic Oratory. .On Thursday evening the Thirtieth Dis- trict Maguire Club met in the hall of the San Francisco Athletic Club to hear the usual flow of Democratic oratory. Tim Tracy, L. M. Manzer and E. L. Fitzger- ald held the crowd until the advent of James H. Barry. A n r of other can- didates followed Barry, but the crowd was restless, began to thin rapidly. on Barnes which ‘dll no%oa“ 1'1' sx'ele)"‘ké w eliver, bu he lives in hopg? being able to work it off yet on § e Barbot c club. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS GREET JUDGE MAGUIRE Members of Two Colleges Tender a Reception to the Leader at Woodward's Pavilion. Class Yells, Oratory, Campaign Somgs and General Good Fellowship Mark the Eyening Proceedings of the Governor Budd’s J Address. “Are we relying on the ‘Little Giant? " Several hundred students asked that question at frequent intervals at Wood+ ward's Pavilion last night, and each time would follow the answer, almost in the same breath: “You bet we are relying on the ‘Little Giant.' Question and answer afforded them no little satisfaction, and it certainly afford- ed the big crowd packed into the lower part of the structure much amusement. It also tickled the man on whom they placed so much reliance, as well as the other aspirants for office and the invited guests seated on the little balcony that served as a speaker’s stand. The occasion was the joint reception of the students of California and Leland Stanford Jr. universitles to James G. Maguire. - For once the rival college yells rang out in blissful harmony in- stead of deflant challenge. The blue and gold was Intertwined with the crimson; the men of the two great institutions in- termingled on terms of courteous cordial- ity. For the hour the bitter gridiron scrimmages and the hostile meetings on the diamond were forgotten, or if not for- gotten, were ignored. When the short, snappy bark of Stanford rang out the quick, raspy cry of Berkeley was defer- entially stilled “until the close. Then it would come as a friendly acknowledg- ment of the other. It will be different a few weeks hence. The big pavilion was artistically decor- ated with the colors of the two colleges in honor of the oeccasion. Back of the speaker’s stand was a broad banner of blue and gold, which bore the motto in letters of silver, ‘“Truth is eternal and must prevail.”” The front of the stand was draped with crimson, festooned with an eagle and shield, while underneath were large crossed American flags. ‘Around the gallery the two college colors were entwined, caught ‘up_ at intervals with portraits of Judge Maguire and American shields aiternately, while over- head broad streamers of blue and gold radiated from a crimson centerpiece. The gallery was reserved for the colle- glans and invited guests, while the main floor and lower circle were thrown open to the public. There was some misman- agement on the part of the police, to which Governor Budd called attention when the matter was brought to his no- tice. When the officers thought there were enough in the hall they refused to admit any more, although there were many vacant seats left and a large crowd outside clamoring for admission. When the Governor demanded that the people be admitted the doors were thrown open and the hole quickly filled. Pending the arrival of the guest of the evening and his associates—and they were late in reaching the pavillon—the audi- ence divided its attention be- tween the band and the shouts of the students. When the latter gave their vo- cal chords a rest they would fill in the time distributing cards of the various candidates. Those seated on the main floor were the recipients of these favors, which were usually snapped down to them with catapult force. After a time the celebrated Columbian: Quartet made its bow and sang a new patriotic song, giving for an encore a po- litical effort telling about the hot time there will be in the old town when Ma- guire is elected Governor. It lacked just 10 minutes to 9 when Judge William P. Lawler, chairman of the Union Campaign ‘Committee, made a passageway through the crowd for Judge Maguire, Governor Budd, James H. Barry, William Craig, Willlam M. Hinton, John P. Dunn, E. L. Hutchison, Will 8. Green, H. A. McCraney and the Stanford and Berkeley orators. The party ascended the speaker's stand amid a tumult of en- thusiasm, while several clubs with band and drum corps marched in, adding to the hubbub. Judge Maguire bowed his acknowledgment of the brand new calls the students turned loose in his honor, and after the cheers for the candidate had subsided they broke out afresh for Governor Budd, and the welcome ac- corded him was fully as demonstrative as it had been for Judge Maguire. 2 After a time, John C. Applewhite of the ploneer class of '95 of Stanford man- aged to make himself heard. He P “The students of two great universities have met this evening to jointly receive James G. Maguire, whom you all know. These two universities have met before upon the gridiron, on the diamond and in debate, at which times free vent has been given to their rivalry; but to-night they meet in perfect harmony.” After a few laudatory words of Judge Maguire, the speaker presented Governor Budd as the chairman of the evening. Again the cheering for “Jim Budd’ broke loose. After it had subsided the Governor spoke in part as follows: “It {s enough to knock one speechless to see such a crowd turn out on such a night as this, and nothing but the honor of presiding over a meeting of the stu- dents of these two great colleges would have brought me out to-night. Away back in 1869 I entered the first class of the University of California for the full four years’ course, and iIn 1873, with eleven others, I was graduated from that insti- tution. I have watched its struggles in infancy and have seen it grow to man- hood under the fostering care of our peo- ple until it has been so magnificently en- | dowed that it will soon be the university of the world. “Then there is that other university brought into existence by the generosity is an able speaker and before he had ut- tered a dozen words, he had won the sym- pathy and approval of the audience. He had a particularly happy way of present- ing his arguments which aroused many hearty bursts of applause. He sald the students of the colleges had no fear of the single tax, and the efforts of the Re- publicans to force it to the front was ridiculous. The poll tax was of much more concern to the students. He termed this form of taxation as unjust and arbi- trary. He said the currency question was & more vital issue of the campaign, while no question could be of greater import- ance to the people of the Pacific Coast than the construction of the Nicaragua canal, which should be bullt by the Gov- ernment for the people, as the Democrats advocated, and not by the Government for private individuals, as the Republi- cans desired. The Nicaragua canal led up to the railroad question, and the speaker proceeded to grill that corporation to the keen relish of his hearers. Everybody on the stand shook hands with the voung orator when he had fin- ished, and after a musical selection Ralph E. Fiicher, class of '99, Stanford L‘nltverslly, was introduced. He/ said in part: s “I want to tell you that the Stanford students are right in line for James G. Maguire. I know personally that one- fourth of the men there, who were for- merly Republicans, are for the Democrat- ic nominee this year, and I have not heard of one Democrat who is opposed to him. “Students have much to do with the study of political economy, and when they find a great cerporation evading its just obligations and interfering in pub- lic affairs for its personal ends, they are not slow to reBuke it. He who opposes such corporate greed is a patriot of the highest order, and such is now James G. Maguire. Mr. Gage may be a most worthy gentleman, but he 1s in extremely bad company.” Mr. Filcher is a born orator and his speech delivered with fiery eloguence brought the people to their feet with re- peated cheers when he retired. The Stanford quartet sang several cam- of one of California’s most public-spirited citizens. Already it has become famous throughout the land as a temple of learn- ing, and has brought to this State that splendid body of instructors headed by the scholarly David Starr Jordan. But neither of these universities is of a po- litical character. “When I took up a paper this morning I saw a statement credited to the Repub- lican candidate for Governor that the University of California is a Republican institution, fostered by Republican gen- erosity. Back into his teeth I hurl the falsehood, for it is false. For him I have the greatest respect as a man and law- yer, but as a political speaker I will not say anything.” 3 Governor Budd then gave a history of the founding of the State University, and said that both parties and all the people had helped it. There was no politics in it. ‘“Hastings founded the college of law that is now a part of the university, and he was a Democrat; Toland founded the medical department, and he was a Demo- crat; Mrs. Phebe Hearst is now engaged with plans for new buildings that will be a lasting monument to her generosity; while Miss Jennie Flood, whose father was one of the leading Democrats of the State, has just endowed it with $3,000,- 000. Nobody ever claimed the University of California was a political institution until yesterday, and if that gentleman doesn’t know any more about the college than that he had better remain in Los Anfie]es and practice law. “During the last session of the Legis- lature when more generous provision was made for the University of California than ever before at one time by the State, Re- publicans and Democrats allke, without a single exception, supported the meas- ure. Coombs, the speaker of the Assem- bly, a regent and a Republican, indorsed the bill; so did Jeter, the president of the Senate, also a regent, and a Democrat, and I as Governor, and, too, a member of the Board of Regents, signed it. Three regents and every member of the Legls- lature gave their time and attention to that bill.” The Governor then launched forth into the issues of the campaign, asserting that the railroad was the paramount is- sue. He said the Republicans denied that the railroad was in politics, but its hand was too apparent in Gage's nom- ination to attempt any denial. In order to conceal the real issue Mr. Gage and his followers raised the bugaboo of the single tax. If they were asked about the rail- road they would reply, “Sh—h, Maguire is a single taxer.” If Maguire were forty single taxers he could not carry into ef- fect his theory without the approval of the people, for it would require a con- stitutional amendment to adopt it. The question to-day, he said, was tne | Income tax, and though he had worked to secure an income tax, his efforts had been defeated by a Republican Legislature. in conclusion, he sald: *I ask the people to seriously consider the issues of this cam- paign. The ral is either for or agalnst one of these two candidates for Governar, and whichever way it be, the People want to be on the other side.” Hugh Bradford, class of 9, University of California, ¢ Goy AND HI§ JTUNATUREES CHRY S " HELD 4 UP THE IPEAKERS JTAND o paign songs to the delight of the crowd, after which Clinton E. Miller, class of '00. University of California, came forward. His crisp, epigrammatie sentences were full of f)lth and humor and he sqon had his auditors in rare good humor.~ His allusion to the “Green Gage r-1di- date” made a general hit. He conc.uded his address by reading a resolution favor- ing Maguire, adopted at a recent meet- ing of the University of California Ma- guire Club. Anthony H. Suzzalo, class of '%, Stan- ford, was the last of the collegians to address the gathering. Mr. Suzzalo has a fine presence, a clear resonant voice and delivered a carefully prepared speech with telling effect. 'He concluded by reading resolutions adopted by the Stan- ford Maguire Club, in which the candi- dacy of Maguire is heartily indorsed. Governor Budd at this stage presented all the candidates for State and Congres- sional honors to the audience, each being cheered in turn. After a couple of songs by the Columblan quartet Jugge Maguire was introduced. His address was very / short, as the people were beginning to leave the hall. He said, substantially: “Mr. Chairman, gentlemen of the uni- versities and ladies and gentlemen: This is by far the grandest demonstration of the campaign. It is a demonstration of principle by the two greatest universities of the West. 1 have watched and sym- pathized with the growth of the Uslver- sity of California. I heard it said when it ‘'was founded that it would only be. come a college for rich men’'s sons. I have seen it the college of men of every condition. / “I have seen it grow in the last four years under the efforts of Governor Budd until_ it has doubied in attendance. I stand.on a platform pledged to the liberal support @f the Unlversity of California, and when I succeed Governor Budd, for I shall succeed him, I pledge myself to foster it as Governor Budd has done. “The Leland Stanford Jr. University is magnificently equipped and splendidly endowed and has added new lugter to the State. In the study of political ecopomy by these young men the principle instilled in them, above all others, is the doctrine of equal rights to _all. It was the do trine of Thomas Jefferson and the im- mortal Lincoln. ““We welcome these students to our ranks to battle with us for equal rights.
