Oct. 27.—The most enthusiastic Republican mass meet- ing of the campaign was held in this city to-night at Hazard's Pa- vilion. Senator Thoma Bard was the chairman of the meeting, which was addressed by Senator George C. Per- kins and Attorney General Tirey L. Ford. The procession which led the way to the meeting was composed’ of all of the marching clubs.in this part of the State. The entire route was lined with cheering crowds. Most conspicuous among the clubs in the procession was that known as ““Teddy's Terror: uniformed llke the Rough Riders that Roosevelt led. The ““Terrors” marched down the street, fir- ing pistols and giving war whoops. The Americus Club of Pasadena, one of the largest marching cliibs in the State, per * formed numerous evolutions for the edi- fication of the spectators. Hazard's Pavilion, with a seating capac- ity of 4500, was packed to the doors. Sen- ator Perkins héld the attention of this vast audience for almost an hour and a half. He showed the Democracy’s incon- sistency In assisting to force the Spanisn war upon the country and, after support- ing the ratification of the treaty, con- demning its consequences. The Senator explained that the interests of California were closely interwoven with the Repub- lican policy of expansion and predicted an overwhelming victory in November. Attorney” General Tircy L. Ford talked of trusts and of Bryanism. He referred to the action of Bryan in supporting the in- surrection in the Philippines as being treason. With biting sarcasm he de- nounced the comparisons made by Bryan of Washington and Aguinaldo. Mr. Ford sald that the Republicans were better united this year than they had ever been before.

Why are the Federal officers and the trans- port officials opposing me? Because the office holders know what I will do to them when Mr. Bryan is inaugurated and commences to ad- vise with me regarding their efficiency and use- fulness, and the transport officlals don’t want me in Washington because they know that I will keep my word, given to them in their teeth down at the windy transport docks last week, and that T will have a law passed in Congress prohibiting the employment of allen labor in the transport service.

What remedy did the Demo- crats offer for the trusts? What laws aid they propose to pass? The Democratic contentfon against a large standing army was next taken up in connection with the cry of imperialism. He showed that this country had not as many soldiers as policemen.
