Do you belleve that Henry S. Martin, Asa R. Wells, I J. Truman, D. J. Murphy, Albert Heyer, Dr. Kearney and men of that stamp make | pledges to break them or t ou do, the servile tools of any man? then believe that the Examiner and that Mr. Phelan speak the truth. If you do not eve that of these eminently re- spectable gentlemen, then belleve that and that his foul support, er have lled and are lylng for the purpose of deceiving you. “I should like also to direct your at- tention to the fact that Mr. Phelan de- clared on Saturday night last at a meet- ing in the Thirty-first Assembly District, that the reason why the Democratic party held no primary election was that the Supreme Court had declared the primary election law t stitutional, and that there was consequently no primary elec- tion law, and no protection could be af- forded to voters at a primary election. This statement is, upon its face, either a false statement or one made in total jgnorance of the law. The Porter primary law is still in full force and effect, con- taining provisions for the severe punish- ment of any violatien of the primary election law, and the only necessary step to the invocation of the protection of that Jaw at a primary election is that the primary be held under its provisions, that is, that the party holding the primary election should do so under the provisions of that act, by 80 specifying in its call for the election. It was not the fact of EXCORTATES | essity to | hat have | speeches and were cord! | was the rendezvou 1s | absence of legal protection that influenced Mr. Phelan and his gaug of job-chasers agalpst the holding of a primary, but the fact that he feared to place himself be- fore the voters of his own party, fearing, and with good reason, that he could not renominate himself.” Mr. McK{nlay's remarks were followed by ringing Sheers. Julius Kahn, candidate for Congress in the Fourth District, in a briefspeech told the voters why patriotism and loyalty to the party should cause them to support the national administration by voting the Republican ticket from start to finish in order that after the { fought the news could be Washington that California had swung solidly into the Republican column.

Murphy, candidate for Dis- trict Attorney, also received an ovation and for ten minutes he spoke on the fm- portance of the office he aspired to and what the citizens of this city could ex- pect if he was elected. I. J. Truman was a late arrival, but was given a cordial re- ception. He devoted a portion of his speech to enlightening those present on the methods employed by James D. Phe- lan and his committee of ‘100 job-chas- ers.” His remarks were cutting and to the point. Mr. Truman stated that if he were elected to the office of Treasurer there would be no “hefting,”” nor would citizens be in danger of los!nfi sleep worrying about the money in his care. He also dwelt on the expose of Mayor Phelan’s colonization scheme, and closed with a hope that the whole ticket from Henry T. Gage down would be elected.

If the mid- ronders are not to have a place on the State ticket, I for one shall not be forced to sup- port the fusion-Democrats. I think it more honorable for the straight Populists, in order to preserve the party, to support and help elect the State Republican ticket, for if the fuston-Democrats win the Populist party will be virtually dead in this State and never can be_resurrected. We cannot kill fusion by supporting it at the polls. I am willing to support an honorable amalgamation with all the reform forces on a union platform, but such a damnable swap- ping and dickering by a few office seekers as was done at Sacramento in July I think cthould be rebuked by not voting with them. 1 think it best for the straight Populists, in order to preserve the party, to g0 on the ticket by petition; otherwise to suport the Republican State ticket. The principles of the Populist party are right—eternally right. They are con- ditions brought about by changes and circum- stances. They are progressive and evolution- ary, and are destined to be crystallized into the organic laws of the land, if not by evolu- tion, then revolution must be the consequence. Hence, the duty of the hour is to vote with the Ropublicans instead of the Democrats. Let us hear from the Populists throughout the State on the subject. The time is sbort. J. A. COLE.

Should a Heavy Frost Come Out- standing Grain Would Be Tinfit Even for Hog Feed. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. ST. PAUL, Oct. 20.—Reports from the wheat flelds of NorthDakota and Mani- toba to-night are of a most discourag- ing character. It has been either rain- ing or snowing nine days. In Manitoba only about 8,000,000 bushels of wheat of a crop of 26,000,000 bushels has been thrashed, and the balance standing in stacks and shocks is threatened with destruction. The farmers almost de- spair of saving the balance of these crops. The barley and oat crops are also all out in the flelds, and if a heavy frost or snow sl. 1ld come now the whole out- standing crop would be rendered unfit for even hog feed. The loss in North Dakota and the Red River Valley is e?tlmaled at 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 bush- els. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 20.—The rain and snow throughout Red River Valley and North Dakota caught many of the farmers with grain unthrashed and the prospect is that much of it will remain in stack until spring. This is especially the case in interlor townships and lo- calities at a distance from the railways and villages. Just what the loss will be it is impossible to estimate, but it is safe to say the greater portion of that which remains in stack through- out the winter will be of little value ex- cept for fodder. Samples of wheat brought to this city which had been exposed to rain for the past few days were so bleached and swollen as to resemble the Washington and Oregon product. Such grain will have to be dried out and cleaned before its value can be determined. Estimates on the number of bushels thus affected in Manitoba are 7,000,000. On the rame basis 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 bushels would be damaged in Red River Val- ley and North Dakota, and the total {oss will amount to several million dol- ars. The bad weather has very materially affected general movement of the crop. Farmers are unable to come to market and elevator men cannot han- dle the crop expeditiously. Many of the mills in the Northwest are running dav and night, and the stock on hand has been considerably reduced. All in all the Northwestern crop has largely deteriorated from the early estimates.

JORDAN OPPOSED TO_IMPERIALISM Stanford’s President Makes a Bold Argument Before the Liberal Congress of Religion at Omaha. OMAHA, Oct. 20.—A bold argument against imperialism was made by Presi- dent David Starr Jordan of Stanford Uni= Versity at this evening's session of the Liberal Congress of Religion, and it was listened to by a crowded church. Summed Damage to up, It was to the effect that a pollcg of expansion would make incumbent upon this country an expensive colonial system with all that that im- plies of a costly army and VY5 that our Government system would have to be largely changed from American re- publicanism™ to British imperialism; that the pursuits of war would take the place of our pursuits of peace; that it is not suited to this country; that living in the tropics degenerates = the Anglo-Saxon character, and finally, that this nation stands for an ideal of individual citizen- ship, which is a higher purpose for hu- manity than national aggrandizement.
