He directed at- tention to the fact that it had been wholl: due to Democratic policy and measures that the amendments proposed by James G.

Wolf claimed that the Philippine ques- tion wae of far more importance to Cali- fornia than the proposed trust legislation. He called attention to the great oppor- tunities opened to California through the acquisition of the islands, and said the future of Californja and the Californian farmer lay in the development of the Ori- ental trade. The meeting closed with cheers for George C. Pardee and the whole Repub- | lcan ticket. Oepn-Air Ratification.

After that Mr. Lane went to Haywards and enjoyed the last night of the carnival. Mr. Lane arrived shortly after noon. He was accompanied by Samuel Butler, president of the Miners’ Union of Grass Valiey, and R. H. Norton, a member- of the American Federation of Labor.. Es- corted by John J. McDonald, chairman of the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee, the gubernatorial aspirant and his companions repaired to the cor- ner-of First and Pine streets, at the edge of the Southern Pacific Company’s yards, where a temporary platform was erected. from which Mr. Lane dnd others made short speeches to the -several hundred railroad workmen gathered about the im- BUTLER INDORSES LANE. Chairman McDonald introduced _the speakers. He first presented R. H. Nor- ton of Los Angeles, who is a civil en- gineer.

I realize that noon is almost the only time that a workman has to listen to cam- paign speeches, for when he gets home at night from his employment he is usually too tired to do anything else than go to bed and pre- pare for the mext day's toll. So I have been calling upon the men at their shops, where I could meet shem face to face, and iook them of a man they are to vote for at the next election. I don't believe a man should simply tend out a lot of picture cards and literature and let the voter and laboring ‘man guess at the kind 6f man who asks for his suffrages. t is his duty to show himself, just as much it is the duty of the voter to acquaint him- self with the character of the candidate who eeking his vote, Four years ago 1 went to-the Unlon Iron | ks and got the promise of the men there te for me, which they did.

Although the Republican party would em- body in itself all virtues, I will call your at- tentlon to one fact, that it has a man in the party ranks bonest emough not to follow the party leaders. That is Speaker Henderson of Jowa. As I was coming into the hall I met a personal friend of mive, United"States Sena~ tor George C. Perkins.

Six months ago down at the county clubs the fac- tions were at dagger points. Lukens and Nus- baumer and the rest of them were all out. Neither of them would trust the other around the corner. But suddenly Republican harmony came about, and the only fight was about’ the division of the offices. Six months before the enactment of the farcé known as the Repub- lican County Convention every office had been parceled out. Let me tell you that some other people want to get at the ple counter besides the political trust, and there will be thousands of Reoublicans as well as Labor party men that will vote the Democratic ticket. We are against the people who made money out of the late war. We are against the party that fs dominated by the bosses. We. have heard a great deal about ‘‘old bills,’” those with long “whiskers on, but.I want to tell you right now that this *‘oid Bill" will be there all e ‘While Franklin K.

Chairman Foote resented Mr. Lane, who was cheered. e said: It may be a singular thing for me to say, but I feel a bit more confident of success than my distinguished friend, W. W. Foote. I have beén talking to the working men and they have given me cause to believe that I shall be elected. To-day I wel":nlu the West Oakland yards, where you can ‘meet the typical work- ingman at all times. Standing on a barrel, an empty barrel, the only kind we have in this campalgn, I talked to two or three hunired men. They were all confident of success. A few days ago 1 was in Sacramento. The sporting men of that place are wagering that Lane will be the next Governor of California. T find the same spirit in San Francisco among tkousands of Republicans and men of all par- thes. HE LIKES SACRAMENTO. k) am expected to say something nice of Oakland. A remark made by Senator Barth once when he was here has always remuined with me. He cald: “When a Sacramentan dies he wants to get to Oakland.” To say something pleas- ant in the place one is speaking it seems to be quite the custom among politician: The late Vice President Stevenson, when addressing an oudience in Missourl, remarked if .he ever changed his residence he would choose a home in Missourd. It workéd like a charm. In Col- orado the audjence was captured-by the sdme pleasantry. Wehen: the tourists reached Fort Yuma, in Arizona, where it was 120 degrees in the shade, every one wondered if Stevenson would have the temerity to repeat the remark. There was only a bunch of Indians to talk to. Their wearing apparel consisted of a sirigle blanket each. Stevenson was there, however. He sald, “If I ever change my dress I will adopt yours.’ However, if I change my residence I don't believe I will come to Oakland. I will go to Sacramento. While this may deprive Oakland of an honer, you will be compensated by a con- tinuance of four years of residence of ‘your dlstinguished townsman, for Governor. THANKS THE DELEGATION. I do not ask the support of the people of Oakland because I am an Oakland boy. I want your support because I am a California man. If my education has not been sufficient to enable me to represent all districts, Oak- land, San Francisco, San Diego, and all of this great State fairly and equally, irrespective of sections, then ] am not fit to get in the Gov- ernor’s chair and you should not vote for me. When I am Governor, I d not want to be the Governor of only a district, ‘but all of Cali- fornia.

And I rejoice when he adds an- other dime to his daily wage. 1 am glad and { I rejoice at these things because I know that with every increase in wages and decrease in his working hours, the workingman will ‘be happier, more intelligent, better educated, more prosperous, will be able to take better care of his wife and send his children longer to our schools and universities. For, upon the intelligence, education and prosperity of the common people, such as you and I, de- pends absolutely the prosperity, yes, the per- petuity of our country, our institutions and our liberties. Our constitution and our laws guarantee to every man ‘“‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’” And- I em glad for everything and anything that will give ev- ery American laboring man longer life, great. er liberty, and not only the purSuit of; but the actual possession of greater happiness. 1 have been asked to say what, in my judg- ment, is the greatest issue in this campaign. At I unhesitatingly answer that the continued prosperity of our people is the greatest issue of this or any other campaign. 1f our farmers and our miners, our cattle and sheep men, our horticulturists, ‘our merchants, ,our viticultur- ists, our sugar men, our lumber men, our oil men, our produce people and the thousand and one other people interested in our many manu- factories are prosperous, then, of course, every- body s prosperous. But what party and what person are responsible for the great prosperity of this country to-day? Who closed the Demo- cratic ‘soup-houses of eight years ago? Who opened up our mills and manufactories, 1it the fires under their cold boflers and set them run- ning overtime in their endeavor to supply their c? Who filled the empty dinner pails of the rking people and gave them work, and changed their cold and cheerless lodging into warm and happy homes, presided over by sing- ing wives and filled with laughing children? You know as well as I that it was McKinley and the Republican party. ““There neveér has been & time when the Ke.' publican party has not been the foremost power for good in this country. It gave us Lincoln and Grant; it gave us Garfleld and Blaine; it gave us McKiniey and Roosevelt—each one of Wwhom Was the man of the hour and served his country in its times of greatest need. Our gavings banks are running over with money deposited by our people; our manufac- tories are rushing with all their might to catch up with their orders; our people are all em- loyed at wages such as they never earned be- ore; our exports during the last five years have exceeded in value by many millions of dollars our exports for the hundred years pre- ceding, and the American flag is known again around. the world. Are our people ready to change all this and again place in power the party which elght yedrs ago made such a fall- ure in governing us? Our Democratic friends tell us that the com- ing State election will have no. influence.on the natfonal, election two.years from now, But there are Congressmen and a Senator to elect— and those Congressmen and that Senator should be solidly Republican to help President Roose- velt govern this, country as McKinley governed it. In’ that way, and in that way only, can the prosperity which McKinley gave us be con- tinued. But I do not belleve that the people of the State of California are tired of the pros- perity they now enjoy, and I, therefore, do not believe that they will, on the 4th of next No- vember, put California into the Democratic col- umn. The lesson of hard, times, taught by Cleveland, has not, I am sure, beén forgotten. FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA. Voters Sbould—gtrlve for a Continu- .ance of Prosperity. And we of California have an especlal and particular interest in the continuance of the prosperity which, under Republican rule, this nation now enjoys. Situated as we are on the western verge of the American continent, with the mighty Paelfic as the great highway that will bear to us the trade and commerce of the millions living on its further shores, California must prosper more than any other State from the trade which is just now begin- ning to flow to-us from far Cathay. ‘‘West. ward the course of empire takes Iits way.” There never was a truer prophecy made. Time was when Persia was the mistress of the world of trade and finance. From her the scepter passed to Egypt; and then to Greece. And after Greece came e. And when Rome decayed Spain became her legatee. From Spain the power of trade and riches went to Lisbon, and then to Amsterdam. Then London became the world's great financial center. ‘‘Westward the course of empire takes its way.'’ And already cur own New York begins to be the world-power and the arbiter of commerce and finance. ‘But California’s greatness cannot long be put off; and before many years, the Golden Gate will let in and out a greater commerce and a great- er trade to and from the swarming millions of the farther East than now spreads its myriads of white sails upon the broad Atlan- tic. The products of our mines, our hills and fields must find an outlet and a market. That nation, like that individual, which has no mar- ket beyond its borders for its products, cannot prosper. . To make our producers’ and our manufucturers prosperous we must have a mar- ket for our products. And where can Califor- nia hope to find a better market for the things she has to sell than among the swarming mil- lions on the other side of the great ocean whose white-topped breakers thunder at our very doors? The time will come (and it is not many years In the future) when California will have within her borders ten million happy people, prosperous from the products of her-soll and er manufactures, filling the fleets of- ships with the many things she has to sell, and re- ceiving: In return the many, things she must expect from other hands. Buit, if the Republi- can protective tariff be taken off by. our Demo- cratic triends and all our struggling industries be put at the mercy of forelgn nations, what can California hope to gain in the struggle for the markets of the world? There never was a time<when California needed more the fostering care of the Re- publican party than she does to-day, when the eyes of all the world are turned toward her, when she is, for the first time 4n -her history, confronting great things and when she has within_her grasp the mighty promises of a magnificent future. And yet our Democratic friends still turn to free trade and a ‘‘tariff (gr revenue,” and tell us that it will make no fference to us if California should turn its 'k on Roosevelt and the Republican party. How would you, my frlends of Santa Clara, ‘el if the tariff on your apricots and prunss were stricken off by Democratic party in pursuance of the plank in its State platform that calls for a “tariff for revenue" alone? And how. would California feel if- her wool, her wine, her flour, her wheat and all th things she grows and makes were under a Democratic rule taken from a tariff such as we now have and thrown open fo the com- petition of all the world? To my mind there lurks nothing but ruin behind the prospect of a Democratic victory. And still our Dem- ocratic friends tell us that there is no menace in the passibility of the defeat of the Repub- lican ticket in November next. Remember, Californja_has now a solid Republican rep- resentation In Congress. And we want to have again that solid Republican delegation, two Senators and eight Representatives, in ‘Washington to hold up the President's hands and ald him in his efforts to follow in ‘the footsteps of McKinley. If our people should B0 wrong on the State ticket how easy it would be for them to forget to vote for Re- publican .Congressmen and Republican legis- lators, upon whom will.devolve the duty of clecting a United States Senator. Now i the time for Republican California, in prepara- tion for the Roosevelt campaign of 1904, t5 express herself in no uncertain tones. Let Californta_join with Maine and give herself again to the party of protection and prosperity. 1 see great things for California in- the next generation. 1 see her winter floods, dammed up in her mountain fastnesses, turned loose in vivitying streams upon the parched and thirsty summer fields. 1 see our forests, protected by wise and generous legislation, holding in their cool and shadowy depths the snows and rains that fall so freely on our mountain slopes. I see her fruitful hills and smiling felds thickly populated by happy and prosperous millions. I see our bays and rivers white with the -sails of swiftly moving commerce. I see the western ocean lined -with serled: ranks of argosies b with the products that our people send abroa: to_waliting millions on the far-off shore of and bearing home to us the welcomé ‘calth of Ormus and of Ind.”” I see a happy nd contented people, prosperous beyond com- 1 see California the envied of all ‘the world, her genial summers, free from deadiy drought, and her winters, such as other and less favored lands would hail as friendly sum- mer, storing up their precious moisture to revivify our drooping summer crops.- I see, in_short, the. California of our.dreams, Cal. umnlh- as she should be, California as she will be.

It should have been heid In Oakland. It would have given you an opportunity of hearing Sen- ator Beveridge talk to you on the things you needed in this State. He talked of pros] ty. It was his only song.

It is a strange thing this prosperity. The campalgn orator tells you that it is due to the high_ protective tariff, vet according to Speaker Henderson this very protection, the source of all the prosperity, i3 threatened most by the Republican party itself. The trusts themselves endanger this prosperity. President Roosevelt is a brave and a fearless man. That is my personal opinion of him. (Applause.) He will not think that California is lost to him simply because the State has gone for Lane. Washington and Oregon have gone Democratic, yet these fair lands have not been blighted.

We promise to give the people what they ask. Just think that in this great State of California there are hospitals for the insane without an operating table. And the enormous amount of 9 cents a day for the meals of the unfortunate inmates- is expended.- This is a state of affairs which should be. remedied. _-Another inmova- tion which is required is that the school- books used by the _children in the pubilc .schools shall be brought within the means of & modest man with modest salary. If I elected I will make that condition prevail. Reform is the watchword of the Democratie party. Have you read the Democratic plat- form? Read it. It does not denounmce. It does not lock with horror, It is affirmative and positive. It sets forth the purposes of Cali- tornfa's Demoeracy in no uncertain terms. It tells you what it is in favor of. There is a great deal to be done for the State of California, We want to see that the balanc between capltal and labor is preserved. The Governor should be impartial. He should be one Wwhose eye is always open for an opportu- nity to. protect all classes. If I am elected I promjse you from the bottom of my heart that all shall be served equally and impartially. ANXIOUS ABOUT THE WATER. The workingmen believe in me. They have twice put me into office by one-of the largest majorities a man ever recelved in San Fran- clgco. The reason they returned me to office was that I kept my promises. When I told tl men of the Union Iron Works to watch my tions In office I meant it. When I came back for further favors I asked them to scan my record: and see if I was worthy of being re- turned. They showed their confidence by re- turning me by 12,000 majority. I have always made my promises good and that is why the people of California are going to give me a chance during the next four years to make good my promlises during this campaign. 1 wish to call your attention to one of the reforms needed. We want to keep the waters of the State for the agriculturist. When the waters are preserved yvou will find California i prosperous. The Democrats believe that the State chould be made of uee to the people. The dte government should be a machine for the purpose of propeiling the State’'s interests for- ward, THAT SOUTHERN MAJORITY. I am-going south. I do not belleve there is en invineible majority to overcome there. Re- publican principlés are all right, but the peo- ple have a right to say who shall be the servant in their own kitchen.

He said: The working classes are justly suspiclous of the presence of the professional politician in politics. - He is crafty and usually has some ulterfor motive. His species is inimical to the highest ideals of Government. Now, I want to say that I am not a pro- fessional politiclan. I am here because my heart is In this work, not because it means any pecuniary gain to me. I left my work in Grass Valley, where I receive the insignificant sum of $3 a day digging gold out of the bow- els of the earth, so that I might go upon the campaign platform in behalf of that grand and noble champion of labor, Franklin K. Lane. I have entered into the work without the least inducement of hope of gain—without any mo- tive that is not just and honest. And, when I get through with these labors I shall return to my humble occupation and tofl until an- other campaign. Franklin K.

He sald: The Democratic party is divided Into two kinds of people—orators and workers. I am Dot an orator but a worker, so I won't orate.
