Nortree Hall was crowded. Pro- fessor Sanford presided and introduced A. J. Dannebaum of the University of California. . Mr. Dannebaum said that imperialism was used by the Democrats to veil the real issues—the tarift and the silver ques- | tion. If Jefferson, who was an ardent ex- | ansionist, were alive to-day he would | e a Republican. The facilities of modern times, he said, had rendered as nothing the rémoteness of the Philippines as com- | pared with that of Louisiana one hundred | years ago. The Republican party had done its duty by the people and the peo- ple should do tiieir duty by the Republi- can party. Hon. D. E. McKinlay of Santa Rosa made a rousing speech and was frequent- | ly interrupted by applause. He said that the people were never so _united as they | were now. Washington, Jefferson, Jack- son, Lincoln and Grant ‘were all called | imperialists and McKinley was called an imperialist for upholding the same poli- cles. Imperialism, said he, was a catch- word used by the Democrats to draw the | votes of the uninformed. In order to| bave prosperity, labor and capital must | work "together, which ~was impossible under the Democratic platform. Mr. Mc- | Kinlay made his arguments clear by apt | illustrations and stories which kept the | audlence in an uproar. | The meeting_was largely attended by university students.
