In his address Mr. Foote touched on national asd State es, and then launched upon a eulogy of Mr. Craig, He and the candidate for Congress were schoolmates together, and since that time he had watched the career of his former chum with keen interest. He re- garded him as a statesman to whom the people of California could intrust their interests, confident that the State would be well represented upon the floor of the Hous: The career of the nominee in the field of politics was reviewed and his The speaker de- clared that the voters of the Fifth Di trict would be casting their ballots for statesman, an honest man and a gentl man when they placed the “X" opposite the name of William Craig. The speech of “Ole Bill," as the Democratic war- horse is known to the rank and file of his party, was witty and forcible, and he was frequently interrupted by the ap- plause of his auditors. Mr. Craig delivered an extended speech, dealing with the issues before tls: peop! of California in this campaign and his own candidacy for Congressional honors. He pledged himself, if elected, to work for the best interests of the State and the masses of the people, and declared in the future, as In the past, he would be free from corporation influences and control.

The statement that there has been | any friction between Mr. Harvey and himself, or that there had been any fric- tion on any material point or want of confidence in Mr. Harvey, he says, is a fabrication and entirely without founda- tion in fact. in 14 nd e PROSPEROUS NEW MEXICO. Governor Otero Shows Why State- hood Should Be Granted. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Governor tero of New Mexico, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, vigorous- renews his representations for the ear- 1y admission of New Mexico to Statehood and portrays the undeveloped resources of the Territory awaiting capital. He estimates the total population of the territory now at 282,900, including an In- dian population of 25,900, Of the 1100 officers and men from New Mexico in the war with Spaln at least one-half were National Guardsmen. The report embodies a letter from Colonel Roosevelt, written from Santiago under date of July Zth, commending the be- havior of the New Mexico_troopers in the Rough Rider Regiment. The report lays special stress on the gosslblmleu of irri- gation and says all the water now use- essly running away, shortly will be util- jzed to the highest degres.

Veterans at the Yountville Home Receive a Visit From the Next Governor of the Golden State. Special Dispatch to The Call. NAPA, Oct. 27.—Henry T. Gage, the Republican standard bearer in this | campaign in California, arrived in Napa this forenoon and was enthusi- astically greeted at the depot by many | representative Republicans. He was | escorted to the Palace Hotel by T. B. | Hutchison and G. W. Strohl, chairman of the Napa County Central Commit- tee. In the reception at the hotel there were no formalities. Many citi- zens came forward and greeted the next Governor, assuring him that Napa ‘ounty would return a large majority | for the Republican cause. This afternoon Mr. Gage visited the Veterans' Home at Yountville, where he received a great ovation from the veteran soldiers and sailors. The party | that went from Napa to Yountville was guided by Mr. Strohl. The next | Governor rode in Drury Melone’s car- riage along with T. B. Hutchison, one of the gifted orators of Northern Cali- fornia. In other conveyances were G. W. Strohl, C. T. Masteller, J. C. Cur- | rier, P. S. King, secretary of the Coun- ty Committee; M. L. Megladdey, Dr. Hennesey, E. 8. Gridley, R. A. Brown- | lee, G. M. Francis, John Brott, M. M. Haas, G. S. McKenzie, J. B. Clifford, | Mr. Cory, Owen Wade and Judge Elgin. On the return trip Mr. Gage tarried for a-short time at Oak Knoll, the home of | Drury Melone. | The band played a welcome when Mr. | Gage arrived at the Veterans’ Home. | Social hall was soon filled by the vet- | erans and citizens from the neighbor- |hood. C. T. Masteller called the meet- ing to order and introduced to the au- | dience “Henry T. Gage, the next Gov- ernor of California. A tremendous shout hailed the introduction. Mzr. | Gage did not make an elaborate speech, | as he felt constrained to reserve his strength for the great open air meet- ing in Napa to-night. What he did say was lofty in its tone of patriousm and so clearly expressed that the vet? erans cheered him at the conclusion of | every sentence. He maintained that | the American flag should wave wher- | ever it had been planted by the valor | and blood of American soldiers and | sailors. He pronounced against the | surrender of one inch of territory wrested from Spain. A storm of ap- plause signified the appreciation of the audience. The fusion leaders who had sought to disfranchise the veterans re- | siding in the homes for disabled volun- teers were held up to scorn. ‘“Little Giant” Maguire’s refusal to support the | war revenue measure in Congress re- | celved the comment that the unpatri- | otlc course deserved. J. Wade McDonald followed Mr. Gage | and spoke for an hour on the political questions of the day. He spoke as a | veteran to veterans, and made telling | points in favor of the grand old party. The audience arose and sang “America,” and was about to disperse when Drury Melone arose and made a | brief suggestion, requesting that time be given to allow the next Governor to meet the ladies assembled. Mr. Melone observed that “the hand that rocked | the cradle ruled the world.” The visit of the standard-bearer was prolonged to shake hands with the ladies. Many of the veterans were also presented. George A. Knight, one of the eloquent exponents of Republican principles, ar- rived this evening and was cordially re- ceived by the committee and escorted to the Palace Hotel. To-night the great procession of | cheering Republicans, the rockets, the music, the red fire, the transparencies with pertinent mottoes, created the | wildest enthusiasm. The procession was marshaled by G. W. Strohl, and In line were Henry T. Gage and George A. Knight. Thousands of spéctators lined the streets on either side of the route and cheered the passing columns. To attend the great outpouring of the masses to proclaim against the scheme of single tax citizens came from all parts of beautiful Napa Valley. A big turnout was expected, but the magni- tude of the demonstration and the great number of visitors assembled surpassed predictions. The procession was creditable in the highest degree, as it largely represented the actual in- | dustrious and progressive men, who have established the character of the | community for enterprise and intelli- gence. Among the striking mottoes reflected by the lilluminations were: “Maguire’s Single Tax Means the Farmers’ Double Tax,” and ‘“Maguire Stands for Single Tax, Confiscation and Anarchy.” 5 In the open air on the courthouse grounds 4000 people gathered to in- spire the Republican speakers and place their seal of condemnation on the | odious scheme of single tax. The mul- | titude was called to order by S. E. Holden. who named the following vice president: 3. M. Francis, J. A. Mc- Clelland, Clifford Roper, J. H. Lovejoy, Thomas McBain, Joseph Levinson, S. | i that the “Little Giant” was endeavor- | public at this time. E. Chapman, Q. K. Salsbury, C. Malan- drino, H. Bchwartz, Benjamin Shurtleff, R. H. Sterling, F. M. Jordan, T. N. Mount, Joe Kronberg, Thomas Derry Sr., L. T. Hayman, Jchn Ames, N. W. Collins, C. C. Mansfield, E. L. Webber, Leslie Brisbin, H. W. Bernheim, H. J. Hoerule, E. H. King and C. S. Wil- coxen. Applause prolonged and mighty hailed the introduction of the nominee for Governor. When the cheering subsided | so that his voice could be heard Mr. | Gage acknowledged his appreciation of the magnificent reception. He did not | dccept it as a tribute to himself, but as an expression of the general devo- | tion of the masses to the cause which he represented. Speaking of his tour of the State and the great enthusiasm everywhere manifested he said he was convinced that the Republican party would on the 8th day of November achieve the greatest triumph ever scored in California. The people were alarmed at the danger of fusion. Their intelligence had pierced the fallacies of the single tax. Maguire had sought to obscure the real and vital issue of the campaign by shouting “Railroad! Rall- road But the tactics of the fusion leader had not deceived the people. Maguire’s record on the railroad ques- tion was fully ventilated. The Congres- sional Record was produced as proof ing to deceive the people on this ques- tion. The fact was made clear to the listening thousands that one word of objection from the ‘“‘Little Giant” would have defeated the measure. Mr. Gage spoke for over an hour and convinced the people by his frank and manly way of presenting facts that he represents the best interests of the commonwealth; that he is free now and always has been free from corporate influences. In a simple, straightfor- ward manner he gave a pledge to the enlightened citizens of Napa County that he would as Governor endeavor to administer the affairs of the high office in an honest and econgmical manner; that he would use the best judgment God has given him in the service of the State. The sentiments of patriot- ism which he expressed in his admir- able address to the assembled thou- sands evcked a volume of great en- thusiasm. Cheer after cheer rent the | air, Another signal for great applause was the introduction of George A. Knight. Mr. Knight delivered one of the most forcible and convincing speeches of lhe’ campaign. He turned the rays of truth on Maguire’s record in Congress on the | railroad settlement. He drew a word | picture of the “Little Giant” prancing around the State of Delaware and talk- | ing single-tax while important meas- | ures were under discussion in Congress. Words were not minced in speaking of Maguire's pretensions before the The point was ad- | vanced that if Maguire was so anxlous | for more legislation to regulate the railroads he ought to be seeking re- election to Congress from the Fourth District. As Governor the only bill that he could introduce was his own bill, which had often been introduced in the public treasury. Mr. Knight en- joined the Republicans to support the whole ticket and not to be swayed by the campaign lies circulated to injure the cause of Justices McFarland and Van Fleet. The eloquent utterances of the orator commanded the earnest attention of the assemblage. His magnificent voice and clear enunciation made it possible for | those standing at a long distance from | the speakers’ stand to hear distinctly every word uttered. His review of what the Republican party had accomplished | for humarlity, what the organization | had done to make people better, hap- pier, and more prosperous, elicited shouts of commendation. Cheer after cheer greeted his ringing declarations. The great popular uprising to-night in support of Gage and iveff is a re buke to Maguire and single-tax. It has inspired the Republicans of this valley with fresh courage and a stronger de- termination to increase the Republican majority beyond the records of the past. To-morrow Gage and Knight will Journey to Sonoma County and address the people of Petaluma and Santa Rosa. NEFF MEETS SAN JOSE REPUBLICANS Compliments the Good Government League Upon Its Splendid Work. SAN JOSE, Oct. 27.—Jacob Neff, the Re- publican candidate for Lieutenant Gov- ernor, was a caller at the headquarters of the Republican Good Government League to-day. He was accompanied by Captain Ellis and Mr. Colnan of San Francisco. The old warhorse of the Re- publican party met many orchardists and Yarmers, who assured him of their sup- port. Mr. Neff complimented the Good Government League upon the work it was doing and especially praised the fine ban- ADVERTISEMENILS.
