Minnesota Orator Says MDemocrats Alone Are Expansionists. | OAKLAND, Sept. 22.—A fair-sized audi- ence listened to Charles A. Towne, the Democratic orator from Minnesota, at the | Exposition building this afternoon. The heat was oppressive and speakers and listeners alike suffered from its effects. A single masculine shirt waist blossomed out in 1he heat, but shirt sleeves were the | common dress of the male auditors. | J. J. McDonald, chairman of the Demo- | cratic County Committee, called the meet- ing to order and introduced Frank Free- man, the Democratic candidate for Con- gress in this district, as chairman. “] was present at the Democratic Na- | tional Convention” sald Mr. Freeman, “and helped in the construction of the platform. I believe in every principle enumerated by it J. A. Emory of San Francisco was the | next speaker. “The issue is imperialism,” he declared. *“Our nation cannot defy the moral law and live. This is a time of danger, not a time for parties, but for Americanism.” Mr. Towne was introduced and spoke for an hour. He said in part: “The campaign of 1900 is only the cam- paign of 18% under the head of unfinished business. There is nothing inconsistent | in the fact that the Issue of 1896 is looked | at somewhat differently this vear. It was then, as now, the interminable struggle between the few and the many. Then we were combating the great banking insti- tutions who were endeavoring to depre- ciate one kind of money in order that they might more readily control the world with | another. | “Our opponents charge that we are not | expansionists. I say the Democrats are the only true expansionists. Expansion is a growth outward, the same substance be- ing maintained throughout. Imperialism is a forced and harmful spreading out, in | Wpich a fruitless endeavor is made to as- similate heterogeneous elements.” Mr. Towne spoke at 8an Leandro from | the porch of the Estudillo House at noon to-day. In the party which accompapied | him from that place was “Big Mike" Ker- | win, the Castro Valley statesman, who was arrayed in a gorgeous shirt walst. ——————— ONLY THREE DAYS MORE IN WHICH TO REGISTER Seven Thousand Citizens Yet to Es- tablis Right to Vote in .~ November. | The total registration reported by Reg- istrar Walsh last night was £,000.

Towne Arraigns the Policy of the Administration in Caustic Terms. | i | | 1 — HE opening rally of the Demo- cratic campaign last night did not set the city on fire with enthusi- asm. The meeting at Mechanics' | Pavilion was not attended by over 25600 people, that, in fact, being a very lib- | eral estimate. Campalgn enthusiasm was at a low ebb, and an occasional outburst of enthusiasm did not r'elrleve( the gather- atmosphere of frost. mfih‘i.’rll::.-\. Towne of Minnesota held the attention of the audience for over an hour, though he failed to rouse them often from their indifference. His voice was some- what hoarse from his vigorous campaign- ing and he spoke with some effort. Ex-Congressman Towne's party arrived from Oakland at 5 o'clock and was driven to the Palace Hotel. Mrs. Towne accom- panies her husband, and with them at din- ner at the Palace were M. F. Tarpey, Senator J. C. Sims, Mrs. S. M. Joy, who was Mr. Towne's first school teacher; Dr. D. E. Osborne of St. Helena, who was a college chum of Mr. Towne at the Univer- sity of Michigan; Franklin K. Lane, and ‘Wakefield Baker. The members of the party lingered at dinner, and it was not until 8 o’clock that they entered their carriages and were driven to the Callfornia Hotel. There the Iroquols Club had been waiting to lead the parade to the Mechanics' Pavilion. As soon as possible the procession formed and proceeded to Market street and thence up Market to the Pavilion. There was plenty of the blare of brass and the occa- sional sputter of fireworks, but the crowd on the street was small and little enthusi- asm was occasioned by the passage of the first parade of the Democratic campaign in this city. Five carriages held the party's guests and prominent local Democrats. In the first carriage were ex-Congressman Towne, Senator J. C. Sims, chairman of the State Central Committee, M. F. Tar- pey and Franklin K. Lane. The second carriage-load consisted of Mrs. Towne, Mrs. 8. M. Joy and ex-Con- gressman Caminetti. In the third car- riage were Porter Ashe, J. H. Henry, Judge Lawlor and D. M. Delmas. W. H. ‘Alford, Thomas E. Curran, Frank S. Drew and Seth Mann were in the fourth carridge, and in the fifth were Al Mec- Cabe and J. J. Kennedy. The Iroquols Club, the Democratic Cen- tral Club, the Monticello Club and a num- ber of district Bryan and Stevenson clubs formed the body of the parade. IN MECHANICS’ PAVILION. Transparencies of Local Candidates Conspicuously Displayed. The rostrum, draped over with the stars and stripes, was placed half-way down the floor on the west side of the Pavilion. It was filled with seats for the 200 and odd vice presidents that had received honor- ary appointment, and to a few especially favored “honored guests.” Directly in front of the rostrum 300 chairs were re- served for the members of the numer- ous uniformed marching clubs that aid escort duty for the speaker on the way to the Pavillon. The Iroquois and Mon- ticello clubs acted as a special guard of honor and were accorded the most con- spicuous position on the floor. How- ever, there were seats and to spare for all the rest without interfering with the audience. The audience, In fact, was not large enough to Interfere with.

The decorations were confined solely to the rostrum up to the time the clubs be- gan to arrive. Then the reserved seats filled up with a motley array of banners, transparencies, bunting and uniforms. The audience settled down in the hall long before the speaker and his escort ar- rived. It was after half past 8 before a brave of the Iroquois Club. in war paint and feathers, wandered into the hall and against a post opposite the rostrum plant- ed a transparency bearing the. legend, “Stephen M. White for Senator.” Then came the Monticello Club with a brass band that at once went into active competition with the one already working overtime before the grand stand. After it came the Iroquols Club, led by another of that tribe, in regalia, and the rest of the marching organizations, uniformed and ununiformed. A wait of another quarter hour and the speaker of the evening arrived. He was preceded to the stand by a squad of vice | presidents and was escorted by the offi- cers of the State and county central com- mittees and by William H. Alford, Super- | Chairman Lane and | for Judge Lawlor. others prominent In the ranks. There was not just the enthusiasm the committee had arranged for, the audience lacked was made up by the clubs and the bands, and in the end Mr. Towne fire him to eloquence. LOCAL SPEAKERS HAVE A SAY. Senator Sims, Franklin X. Lane, J. H. Henry and Porter Ashe Talk. Chalrman Sims of the State Central Committee called the meeting to order and spoke In eulogy of the orator of the evening, He said: “We assure him that his rare fame is cherished as much on the Pacific Coast as on the Great Lakes or any other por- tion of the Union, and we nope that his coming will prove a new bond between the East and the coast.” Continuing Senator Sims arralgned the Philippine policy of the administration and concluded by introducing Franklin K. Lane, chairman of the evening. Mr. Lane spoke briefly, asserting that the signs of the times point to Democratic victory. He gaid with Mark Hanna speak- ing for Republicans in the East and Mar. | tin Kelly speaking for them in the West it was evident that the Republican party was putting the friends of the peopie to the front. He concluded by introducing a “couple of preliminaries.”” J. H. Henry of San Jose, candidate for Congress in the Fifth District, was the first of these. Mr. Henry spoke very briefly und waa followed by Porter Ashe, candidate for Congress from the Fourth District, who spoke eloquently and not so briefly. But he did not occupy the front of the stage long, and a song was rendered by the Columbia Quartet, the four gentlemen in grotesque costume. CHARLES A. TOWNE'S SPEECH. Pays His Respects to the Administra- tion in Caustic Terms. ‘When ex-Congressman Charles A, Towne was Introduced he was recelved with prolonged cheers, the larger part of the audience rising and waving hats and handkerchiefs in his honor. He spoke as follows: Mr. Chalrman and fellow-citizens: It s al- most exactly two and a half years since it was my very great pleasure and privilege to but what | recefved applause sufficient to| speak to a San Francisco audience. I have ever since that time retalned the most pleasant | recollection of my visit, and I return to-night with emotions answerable to that feeling. My | riends, two and a half years ago it was my | duty to speak to you in regard to the dominant issue of the campalgn of 198. Neverth two years and a half ago, I addressed you In regard to the campaign of 1900, for the cam- | paign of 15% and the campaign of 199 had and have for their objects practicall: the | thing. The campaign of 1900 vy be said In | every true sense to be the campalgn of 1598 under the head of unfinished business.

Let is be known that the Demo- cratic party is not warring upon wealth wealth. Honest accumulation has no better friend. But these men who are adding to their wealth by Imposing upon the law are sowing the wind and must some day reap the whirlwind. They are banking up the water 50 that some day it will rise upon them until it bursts its restraints and sweeps them and their gains, together with honest accumula- tions, away forever. Along with the development of military gov- ernments In the world has gone colonial ambi tion. We are already entering upon a da gerous phase of soctal declivity. History shows that soclal decline has attended upon such con- ditions as wo face now. We have reached the | danger point. One per cent of the people to- day own as much as the other nimety-nine. YWhen such accumulation as this Is the result of special privileges; when the money making vower has control of the law making machin- ery, then exist the conditions which have led to Qisaster in other countries and, if the cor- rective be not applied, will lead to disaster in the United States. Here the speaker related tales of massa. cre and what he was pleased to call tyr- anny in the Philippines. He held up blood red pictures of the brutalities of the American soldier and the Republican ad- | ministration. And then continuing said: Will you San Francisco merchants, because You can sell an army mule or bale of hay, vote to continue this thing? No, my merchant friend, what you want is the earliest possihle as amity. You want the commerce and trade of the survivors of this people. You do not want to kill the best of your customers and earn the hatred of the rest. We are governing the Phil- ippines as our forefathers were governed by Great Britain 135 years ago, when they fought to overthrow that power. When this country fought for freedom it was a rebel against a government. It is inconcefvable that they should fight to perpetuate the abuses which they overthrew. The President of the United States has over- stepped the constitution on at least two ooca- slons.
