THE N FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1900. VOTERS URGED TO GO EARLY TO VOTE Fund 'of Twenty Thousand Dol- lars to Corruptly Defeat Belshaw. Railroad Money in the Forty- First District to Help Elect Dibble. authentic information that railroad ney has been thrown into the fight to defeat C. M. Belshaw for te Senate in the Elevent natorial District, and to elect H. C. Dibble in the Forty-finm Assembly District. Indications point to W. F. Herrin as the chief disbur< 3 agent and to Jere Burke as he sack bearer in Contra Costa County. Prom:iuent men went to W. F. Her- rin's office o impertant business yesterday, but did not find him there and could not sscertain his whereabouts. Three railroad men in Pinole and rail- men In other parts of Contra Costa County are freely spending money f the corporation to debauch the voters. Mr. Belshaw, serving in the As- sembly as the representative of the people, refused to take orders from the fic egents. The decree has gone forth from the political bureau defeat him. It is reported that a corruption fund of $20,- ed in the Eleventh Senatorial District. formation is to the effect that the sum of $2300 was sent into t District yesterday to help elect Dibble. In the Legislature Dib- ble was the faithful servant of the corporation. The company needs his ser- vices again in redistricting the State. It is the duty of Republicans and all other good citizens to defeat Dibble. The safe plan is to vote for Oscar Sutro. It is surmised that Herrin has established secret campaign headquarters in the Palace Hotel or Crocker bullding.

Sunset District held its final Republican rally of the season at Park View Hall on Ninth avenue last evening. It was a memorable occasion in the district, for a squad of ‘“‘rooters” put in an appearance armed with gigantic horns, with which the points made by the speakers were uproariously greeted. All the people in the neighborhood were present. A huge bonfire blazed in front of the hall all the evening. Alfred P. Somerville presided and made a strong appeal for the good of the district. His remarks were generally of a Mocal application. He sald that all the Sunset District desired to be placed in the Thirty-seventh Assembly District and to abolish K street as a dividing line. It was the hope of the people of the en- tire district that the coming Legislature would give the relief that was asked, and he urged the people to attend to that mat- ter by exerting their influence with those who should be elected from this city to g0 to Sacramento. His remarks were loudly applauded. Senator Wolfe follow- ed. At the close of the speaking three cheers were given for McKinley and the entire Republican ticket.

A strong and active campaign has been waged in the district and the work- | ers turned out en masse to this, the last meeting of the great struggle. Long be- fore the first speaker had been introduced | every seat in the spacious hall was occu pled and standing room was at a pre- mium. FPercy V. Long, nominee for Jus- | tice of the Peace; Hamilton A. Bauer, the | district's choice for Assemblyman, and A. | J. Dannenbaum, who has been touring the State in the interest of the Republican | arty, spoke on campalgn issues and set orth reasons why California, and espe- | cially San Francisco, should roll up a handsome majority for the retention of | the present administration in power. I. Golden, George Fletcher, Davis Louder- back, Thomas F. Graham, Judge D. J. Murphy and H. L. Joachimsen also spoke. Congressman Bugene F. Loud was the principal speaker of the evening. He was given a hearty reception as he stepped upon the platform and his speech was frequently interrupted by applause. He | sald that the cry of “imperialism” with | the Bryanites was but a phantom. He | declared that the administration of the nation’s affalrs under the guidance of President McKinley and through trying times was better than had been ever be- fore given to the people, and was worthy of appreciation. The voters should show that appreclation and return McKinley and his party to power. Mr. Loud contrasted the prosperous con- dition of to-day and that of the dull times of 1893 to 1807 and gave the credit of the bringing about of the change to the able management of the Republican party. McKinley, he sald, had brought us through a great crisis ‘and with suc) 5«.(1 results that it was but just that any ight thinking people should show its approval of his great achlevement at the polls on election day. —_——— At a recent voting contest it was unanimous- ly decided that there was nothing better on earth than the ““American’* clear Havana cigar.* —_— e | | The nation that produces the most mar- riages s fasci-nation. ool in this campaign: the commercial travelers.

It is incorrect to say “Let us wait on the corner on Will.” 2. Stop, stay. To stop means to cease to go forward, to leave off; to stay means to abide, to tarry, to dweil.

The former refers to the contents of sewers; the latter to a | gystem of sewers. 9 Majority, plurality. These words are often confused. A has the majority of the votes when he has more than haif of the whole number cast; he has a plu- rality when his votes exceed those of any other candidate. A plurality is not neces- | sarlly a majority when there are more than two candidates. IX. HOW TO RECKON INTEREST. Interest is a charge for the use of money. The princiral is the sum for the vse of which interest is charged. The rate is the Xer cent of the principal which is | charged for its use for one year. By § per | cent interest we mean a charge of 36 per year for every $100. Accurate interest is reckoned on a basis of 36 days to the ear; business interest is reckoned on a asis of 360 days to the year. Legal in- terest is interest which is computed at the rate per cent established by law. To charge a higher rate of interest than is allowed by law is called usury, for which penalties are imposed by the laws of nearly all the States. Debts of all kinds draw luterest from the time they become due_ but not before unless so specified. The following rules for reckoning accu- rate irterest can be easily remembered: 1. Principal x Rate x Time in years Divide by 100. 2. Principal X Rate X Time in months. vide by 1200. 8. Principal X Rate X Time in days. Divide by 38.50. Where possible the time should be in- dicated In years and fractions of a year, or in months and fractions of a month. For instance, 2 years 6 months = years: 3 years 9 months 3% years months 13 days = 416 months, éte. To di- vide by 100 simply point off two decimal places; to divide by 1200 point off two deci- mal places and divide by 12; to divide by 38,500 point off two decimal places and di- vide by Sometimes the work can be simplified by cancellation. as follows: Find the interest on $21% for 3 days at 5 per cent. ! 3 Mx&'x&” =24§:10 = ! 272N ‘ | L - To find the accurate interest for years, months and days, as, for instance, 4 years | is $24.28, therefore for 2 days the interest is_one-tenth, or $2.43. 3.
