We indorse to the fullest extent the ad- mirable platform adopted by the Republican party of California at the State convention recently held at Santa Cruz. We have no local fssue In San Francisco this year and we take the occasion to appeal to the peo- ple of the city to elect Republican Senators and Assemblymen to the end that we may secure the passage of a just apportionment bill and carry out the purposes and policles indorsed and advocated by the party in the Santa Cruz platform We especially indorse the commendation of our Governor, Henry T. Gage, for the able, fearless and economical manner in which the State Government has been con- ducted under his administration. We heartily approve the course followed by our Representatives in Congress, Jultus Kahn and Eugene F. Loud, and earnestly commend them to the voters of their dis- tricts for re-election. We declare ourselves and the Republican party unreservedly in favor of the adoption of the proposed amendment to the constitu- tion of the State, providing for a primary election law; and we earnestly urge upon the electors of the city and county of San Francisco, without distinction of party, the support of the amendment, to the end that party organization may bs placed upon & secure basis and made to represent the will of the party, freed from the control of boss rule, and we Instruct our Senators and As- semblymen to do everything in their power to secure the enactment of a new primary election law in conformity to the amend- The motion to substitute the minority report was lost and after still another up- roar the original motion of Dinkelspiel to adopt the majority report was car- ried. The report of the committee on plat- form and resolutions, the Kelly heelers allowed to be read without interruption. It was presented by Thomas P. Wood ward, chairman of the committee, was adopted unanimously and with rous- ing cheers by both factions.

We pledge our Legislative nominees to & strictly economical administration of State affairs, assuring the taxpayer that the bur- dens of government will be maintained at the lowest point consistent with a proper administration of the affairs of State and a due regard for the good name and stand- ing of our commonwealth. Let the Republicans of San Francisco stand together during this mational cam- paign and uphold the administration of President McKinley. Let it not be said that San Franeisco, whose people have prospered more than those of any other city in tha Union, have been ungrateful for the benefits they have received. Let the citizens of this metropolis of the golden West, in this year of our semi-centennial, vote for McKinley and Roosevelt, for protection and prosperitys for sound money and for national gran- deur and glory. Let us, in a word, sustain the national Republican party as the rep- resentative of natfonal unity, of human Iib- erty, of finanelal integrity and of the policy of vrotection—as the embodiment of fhe wisest political policies and the purest volitical principles of the age.

OAKLAND, Sept. 20.—Gross neglect on the part of a freight train crew caused a | serious collision on the Southern Pacific Ralflroad this afternoon at Haywards be- tween the Sacramento local passenger train, due in San Francisco at 4:15 o’clock, and a local freight. But for the nerve of | Engineer Morris Shean of the passenger train, who remained at his post, the wreck would have been disastrous to the 150 passengers. As it was, the shock was sufficlent to tumble them about in the crowded coaches and to cause a panic for a few minutes. The primary cause of the head-on col- lision was the {nexcusable carelessness of the freight train crew In leaving a switch open on the main line track while the freight was standing on a siding waiting for the passenger train’s arrival at Hay- wards. The Sacramento traln was composed of engine 1402, four coaches, a baggage and a mall car, in charge of Conductor Kil- patrick and Engineer Shean. It carried passengers from Sacramento, Stockton, Hanford, Mendota and Porterville. It was due at Haywards at 3:06 p. m., and was on time. The freight train, !n charge of Conductor Jack Carey, with Brakemen Scott, Barber and Short, had backed down' upon the siding neai Hunt's Can- ery. | The lower switch toward Niles had been opened to let the freight run in on the siding untfl the passenger train E Instead of closing this switch it was left thrown open. e passenger train came booming along at thirty-five miles an hour for Oakland pler. Engineer Shean given the station whistle and was jus slowing down when he struck the open switch, The big, puffing engine of the freight train loomed up In front of him before he had time to move. With quick action he threw the reverse lever and gave all steam back as hard as his engine would stand. But the collision was in- evitable. Shean did not have time to prevent that. The engines came together with a crash and a shock that sent passengers flying from their seats. The pilots and fronts of both locomotives were smashed Into small bits, causing several thousand dol- lars’ damage. There was a scurrying as soon as the engine was brought to a standstil] to see if any one was hurt. The train_crews were held for orders from the division superintendent’s office. To clear the track of the crippled en- gines was the next task. An engine from a Livermore local freight train ed into serivee to drag the disabl pas- senger train into Oakland, and the jour- ney was completed after considerable de- lay without further interruption from ob- | structing freight trains, = | RACE MEET ON DAKLAND TRACK Running and Sulky Events Programmed for Each Day.
