He wants it for the honor of the position and for the good he will be able to do for the city he loves. ‘‘The charter provides for eight com- missions of public utilities. Whom can you trust =0 well to appoint the members of those commissions fairly and honestly as the Hon. Horace Davis? He will bring into office with him his years of business experience. He will give the city the ben- efit of all the years he has devoted to the public service. The city owes him a debt of gratitude for consenting to become a candidate for the office of Mayor. Many valuable franchises have given away during the regime of our Democratic opponents, and yet they claim to be the friends of the people and tc dminister municipal affairs in their been interests. The Democrats say, ‘Don’t talk n politics in the municipal cam- ps Well, if the national administra- was Democratic I would recommend taking their advice. The best Democrats have come over to the Republican party and the bad Republicans have gone into the camp of the enemy.” Davis a Friend of Workingmen. Senator Perkins referred to Hon. Horace Davis' record on the Chinese question and stated that when the Chinamen threatened to boycott his flour because of his working for the exclusion act in Congress he replied that the good of his fellow. workmen was worth more to him than all of the trade of China. In clos- ing Senator Perkins said: “The clection in this great city will be felt throughout the entire State. If we elect the Republican ticket its influence will be for good.” The band played and the Knickerbocker Quartet followed with a patriotic selec- tion which was heartily encored. Scott Arouses Enthusiasm. Irving M. Scott was the next speaker, and spoke in part as follows: Two weeks ago to-night I announced that those who expressed fear that ihe charter would not be- come a law were humbygging the peo- ple. Since that time the charter has been WEED. was prematurely bald and a later one tak Tetantly ‘ahowing the beautiful effects of this remarkable hair-grower. The remedy is not a new experiment and no one need fear that it is harmful. It cured John Bruner, postmaster of Millville, Henry County, Ind., and he strongly urges everyone to try it. A Methodist preacher, Victor A. Faigavx of Tracy City, Tenn., was perfectly bald on his forehead for many ‘years, but now has a fine growth. Mrs. C. W. Castieman, 843 Main street, Riverside, Cal., reports her hus- band’s shiny head now covered with soft, fine halr, and she, too, has derived wonderful benefit. Among others who have used the rem- edy is the wife of Gsorge Difenbach, general agent of the Big Four Railroad of Dayton, O. who was entirely cured of baldness. The president of Fairmount College, Sul- phur! lp Professor B. F. Turner, was bald for thirty years and now has a splendid growth of hair from having tried this re- markable remedy. The remedy aiso cures itching and dandruff, sure signs of approaching baldness, and keeps declared a_fundamen- tal law of the com- monwealth by the highest judiefal tribu- nal in “the State.

T am here tc-nllght advocating the election of Horace Davis for Mayor be- cause the conditions in which our people find themselves have made it possible to nominate this best and cleanest represen- tative of the Republican party for that high office. £ “I have lived in California through what I may call its sleepry period, during the last ten years, and I have seen it respond to the impulse of prosperity which began to dflw(r’l uv(}n(hthe couv’]fllry with the in- auguration o e magnificent administ; tion of Willlam McKinley."” 73 557 Mr. Scott then ing tribute to th ministration, and declared not (;r:iy ‘for succless for th municipal campaign but also that the vote otPCn.llforn(l would be cast for Wil- liam McKinley for a second term as Pres- ident of the United States.

The speaker referred to the Individual candidates . of the Re&)ubllcan purtg in glowing terms. He laid especial empha. sis on the Hglendld official records of Auditor Asa R. Wells, who, he declared, was the best Auditor San Francisco ever had, and of County Clerk Willlam A. Deane, whose administration has been above criticilsm. Continuing, he said: “T ask you whether you can pass over the claims of an honest, successful busi- ness man of ripe judgment and progres- sive tendencies, and a Republican, vote for a young Democrat with no spe- clal business training, even though he be energetic. “I call upon you who can draw the line between improvements and confiscation to vote for this ticket, that we may ride over good streets and enjoy the advan- tages of good sewerage, at a reasonable rate of taxation.

The quartet sang a “take-off” on Phelan's candidacy that brought down the house. Davis Receives an Ovation. At this point Horace Davis entered and the great audience rose as one man in a wild_ outburst of enthusiastic ‘welcome. Mr. Davis was at once given the floor and spoke in substance as follows: “If anything could inspire me to elo- quence it s this great and enthusiastic audience, which is here to-night. I am particularly pleased to see so many ladies | P sent, for this, you know, is a home D palin, and when the ladles manitest such & strong interest in the meetings and in the result of the election it speaks well for the success of the Republican . pqy_hm subject that we are here to discuss to-night is” the future government of the city.

During the e O B O e o ] | % | | “WORK FOR THE WHOLE TICKET.”—HORACE DAVIS. months the charter convention was in ses- sion I attended all its meetings whenever I was in the city. I also attended all the meetings of the committee of which I had the honor of being a member, and, as some of you will remember, I had the honor to preside at the meeting held after the convention had concluded fils work to ratify the charter which it had compiled. I also wrote personal letters to such mem- bers of the Legislature as I thought I might have some influence with, urging them to vote for the charter and not % 0 contrary to the will of the people, who esired a just and modern form of gov- ernment in place of the present slipshod municipal machinery wltg which we are cumbered.” Eulogizes the Ticket. Mr. Davis then devoted a few minutes to eulogizing the capabilities and hon- esty of the other nominees of the Repub- lican party, who, he declared, were men of irreproachable character and consti- tuted the best ticket that could have been selected. As for himself, he was averse to self-praise, but he belleved his record was well known to the people, and on thln]l record he was prepared to stand or all. f you feel that, in view of my record, I am worthy of your confldence,”” he sai “then I ask you to vote for me.” An uproar of applause interrupted the speaker at this point, and when the clamor had in a measure subsided Mr. Davis said quietly, “I see there are a few here who intend to vote for me.” Mr. Davis then proceeded to discuss the policy of the national administration and the prosperity that is now being enjoyed over the entire length and breadth of the country, and asked if the people of San Francisco desired that the announcement should ‘ffl forth that this city, which had recelved and was receiving the great bu! of this prosperity, had turned its back on the party that was responsible for it all. He concluded with an eloquent ap- peal to the Republican voters of the city to get out and work for the success of the entire ticket. He declared with sincere earnestness that the battle could only be won by energetic, consclentious work, He urged all who had not already done so to Join the clubs and work among thelr nefghbors and friends for the success of the Republican party at the polls on No- vember 7.. As he took his seat a man in the gallery proposed three cheers for Horace Davis, and they were given with tremendous enthusiasm. When Phelan Deserted the Charter. “In 1866 I was a member of another chdrter convention; Mr. Phelan was; we eleven were; and we wanted a president. I first suggested James D. Phelan for that position, and when he was nominated I made the seconding speech. When James D. Phelan was elected and when he went to his chalr at our head he said: ‘Gen- tlemen, 1 am in favor of this charter, I will work with you for it and will fight for it until it is Settled at the polls.’ ‘At that time Sam Rainey was looking for a man to take the Democratic nom- ination for Mayor. He offered it to Mr. Phelan and Mr. Phelan went before the convention and got it. The next day he came before us, the members of the c‘mr- ter convention, and sald: ‘Gentlemen, 1 have accepted the nomination for Mayor, and upon the advice of my friends in the Democratic party I have come to the con- clusion that I may have nothing more to do with this charter project'—and right there James D. Phelan took the orders of his new-found boss, Sam Rainey, and offered his peremptory resignation as president and member of the charter con- Ve saction. of th tul 8 section o @ powerful speech of Judge A. P. Van Duzer was a rgvela.tlms to that audlence of thousands; that it had its effect goes without saying. It was known to many that Phelan had forsaken the city in 1896, but never before had the statement been made by such competent authority or_with such positiveness and directness. Judge Van Duzer minced no words in that nor did he in drawing the obvious parallel between the character of Phelan as then displayed and the char- acter of Horace Davis as demonstrated by & long life in politics and out of it. Cheer upon cheer went up as he shot out his telling charges and twice when he would have ceased he was called back to the T Mayor Phelan came ber ‘“Mayor Phelan came before the people when he first ran for office and w-xthpma%) words promised to stop the stealing that had been going on and he did not do i He promised again last year and didn'f, He's before you.agaln with the same promise and to prove to you that he won't and cannot when the bosses bring the pressure to bear upon him I’ read you a few flgures.” And then the speaker brought the books to show that despite Phelan promises the administra. tion of the city by him had cost nearly a million a year more than under any previous rule. ‘Home Rule Not an Issue. Colonel Eddy's arraignment of those Republicans the Democrats are wont to say elected their standard bearer at the last election was particularly strong. In opening he called attention to the fact that his audlence had had the privilege of listening to a coterie of the greatest men ever brought lggether under one roof in California a he paid high in. ° W’-Q D A B R S S S Brilliant Orators Attest His Worth.

We have home | rule and have d it, and if it has | not been successful it is chargeable to th | people. The question of this campaign is not home rule but who shall rule. we turn the city over to Phelan, the Dem- scratic party and home rule or shall we | turn it over to Horace Davis, the Repub- licans_and good rule.” He dealt with the Phelan Senatorial as- pirations in no light manner, and set it well before his audience that the fight of Phelan and the Phelan Democracy was not so much to assure good government to San Francisco as to secure to Phelan | the political machinery with which to work out his bigger aspirations. “The test of your Republicanism next | year,” said he, “will be whether you voted | tor Horace Davis or James D. Phelan at | this election. If for Phelan you will not | pass muster as a good Republican—and you should not. I will not say that the Republican who votes for Phelan this year, in the face of all the es at stake, is a traitor to his party; I will simply say he is not a good Republican | and never can be; furthermore that he never was.” S S QPPORTUNITY TGO VOTE. Merchants R-quested to Allow Employes Plenty of Time. | The directors of the Merchants’ Assocla- | tion, which now numbers about 1100 busi- | ness firms of this city, passed a resolution | at their last meeting requesting all mem- so that their Yes- bers to make arrangements employes may vote on November 7. terday, in compliance with the r the following circular letter was To the Mem? of the Mer: soclation—Gentl. Your bo: tors has been requested to call the speclal attention of the members of the associa- tion to section 1212 of the Political C of California, requiring all employers to allow their employes two consecutive hours in which to vote on election day without any loss of employment or wages. In comply- ing with this request, this board respect- tully suggests that it {s a patriotic duty to permit each employe, 'Who 1s a voter, suf- ficient time to vote at the coming election, so that the general interest in our munlel pal affalrs, which this association has fos- tered and encouraged, may be kept up and result in permanent good government for our city. It is recommended-that our members ar- range beforehand to open their respective places of business a little later on the morning of November 7; or, if this is im- practicable, to permit as many of their employes as can be spared in _the morning to vote before th come to business and to permit the others to leave for the day in time to reach their respective voting precincts and vote before the closing of the polls, Through this arrangement, very - little time need be lost and full opportunity will thus be given for all employes who may wish to vote. On the other hand, should there be mo uniform course of action in this matter, it is probable that munlcipal elections, like other elections, will be made legal hoildays, which would’ entall consid- erable loss upon trade and Indust 1 polis will open election day, Novembr at 6 &. m. and will close at'5 p. m. truly_yours, BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MER- CHANTS' ASSOCIATION.
