SAN DIEGO, Sept. 27.—President James Keller of the National Letter-Carriers’ Assoclation, with his wife, 1s the guest of ir. and Mrs. Kessler. Mr. Keller is the man who, according to dispatches, has seen peremptorily recalled, his leave of absence being revoked and the penalty for | ot obeying the order for his return| placed at dismissal from the postal ser- | vice. Mr. Keller, when seen this afternoon, aid that he had recelved no official notice | of the alleged action of the Postoffice De- partment—nothing, in fact, except the re- ports in the newspapers—and he was in- clined to think that the yarn was without | oundation. He said that he had been on the Pacific Coast thirteen days, headquarters in San Francisco and was about to board a steamship for this city | when he saw the published dispatch. His mission to the coast, he sald, was to visit the different branches of the Letter-Car- riers’ Association.

Special Dispatch to The Call. OS ANGELES, Sept. 27.—Five thousand Republicans filled Hazard’s Pavilion to-night to open the State campaign in Los Angeles County. It was the largest political gathering that the city has known in an “off” year, and in size was more than twice as large as that which greeted Franklin K. Lane, the Democratic nominee, on Thursday evening. Hundreds of persons came (o the city fmem the surrounding towns by special electric and steam trains and among the visitors were the Americus Club of Pasadena and the Columbia Club of Santa Ana, the crack marching or- ganizations of the State. Dr. Pardee failed to arrive at noon from san Diego, having been detalned by an attack of lumbago that resulted from the delivery of an open-air speech, and the local —arrangements committees were forced to make many alterations in the day’s programme. It was necessary to andon the afternoon reception by the Young Men's Republican League and to cut short other receptions that had been arranged. The nominee and his party, which in- cluded Mrs. Pardee and Duncan McKin- lay, arrived via the Santa Fe at 6:10 and were met by “Teddy’s Ter- the cowboy marching club of Los Angeles, that has had a picturesque and meteoric career since the nomination of Roosevelt for Vice President, two years ago. Several committees representing the State and county organizations and various political clubs, met the party on its arrival and acted as escort to the Hollenbeck Hotel. Dr. and Mrs. Par- dee dined at the California Club with Bradner W. Lee and Judge J. W. and p. m | Mrs. McKinley, after which a short re- ception was held at the Army and Navy League. The evening parade passed through the down town streets at 8 o'clock, being viewed by thousands of citizens. In the parade were three bands and the three marching clubs 400 strong. Congressman James McLachlan was chairman of the meeting in the pavilion, being introduced by Bradner W. Lee, chairman of the Republican County Cen- tral Committce and member of the State Executive Committee. DR. PARDEE’'S ADDRESS. Dr. Pardee spoke briefly but pointedly and was followed by Duncan McKinlay, who made a characteristic address that brought forth great applause. Dr. Pardee | said in part: “I do mot suppose that there is one of you who has forgotten the silent mills, the cold forges, the silent spindles and the shut-up factories of those Democratic years; nor is there one of you here - to- night who has forgotten how quickly all this was changed when the immortal Mc- Kinley was elected in 18%. (Great ap- plause.) How quickly beneath the magic of his mind the souphouses were closed; how quickly the fires were lighted in the cold forges and underneath the cold boil- ers and how soon the smoke again poured from the long-since smokeless chimneys. How long—how short—was it after his election when the workmen went blithely to work/ whistling and singing and swing- ing in their right hands a full dinner pall + ey (587 : .\\l.wl.‘le Vi ! el i TR ) U i 7 f I u, § : by W{ i | / il i S, f i ! V) i il ) il ,’:‘5// Tumultuous Applause Greets Future Gov- ernor’s Appearance in the Hall. 3 — (Applause) and leaving behind them in countless cheerful homes happy wives and smiling children. “But our Democratic friends—and some- times I almost believe they belleve what they say—declare politics has nothing to do with good or hard times or empty or 1ull dinner pails; that prosperity depends alone upon the shining of the sun, which tne good Lord has given usg, and the fall- ing of the gentle rain, which God, in his mercy, sends upon the just and the un- sust—the Republican and the Democrat— alike. (Laughter and applause.) But the sunshine and the rains fell in '9¢ and '9% better perhaps, than they have fallen, es- pecially here in California, in the years that have gone by since '94 and '9%, and yet under the falling of the rain and the shining of the sun in ’94 and '9 the din- ner pail was empty. To-day, with less rain and more sunshine, the dinner pail is full, and the workman goes forth, not looking for work, but with work chasing him to get him to accept that which he Las already his hands full of. “So when our Democratic friends say that it makes no difference who is Gov- ernor of California and that hard times éon’t depend on whether we have a Cleveland in the Presidential chair or a McKinley, I do not believe that even the Democrat can fool himself, because I know he cannot fool the American people, the common people, the laboring people, the men who work and who now have full dinner pails. (Shouts of ‘“That's right.”) LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. “Within the next generation California will see great things. The snows and rains that fall in our mountains will be dammed in the mountain canyon and will be let out In revivifying streams upon our parched summer flelds, and the cataracts down the mountain sides will be har- nessed and the power there generated will be sent down into the plains, and Califor- nia will become what she has seen in her fondest dreams-—one of the greatest man- ufacturing States in this Union. (Ap- plause.) And there will come that time when, instead of hundreds of thousands of people here in California, there will be millions, every one happy and every one carrying not one, but two, full dinner pails. “Now, let the rain fall from heaven—I pray God it will; and let the sun shine— and I pray God it will, but if we have a repetition of Democratic rule in this country, just so sure as that thing hap- pens, our mills. our manufactories, our forges, our business of all kinds will shut and close down and we' will' become, as we were in ‘04 and '%, an army of men walking through the streets—desperate, hungry, ragged—looking for work. and leaving behind us our wives and families pinched by want and suffering the agony of not knowing where the next crust of bread will come from. = ‘“How shall California vote in this com- ing election? Our Democratic friends say it makes no difference who is Governor of California; that there is no national poli- tics in the coming election. If that be so, why do they nominate candidates for Congress? Why do they nominate As- semblymen and Senators, upon whom the law devolves the duty of electing a suc- cessor to Senator Perkins? If this State should go Democratic, if we should send to the national legislature a Democratic representation, it will be notice to the people of these United States that we of California have lost faith in the Repub- lican party, have turned our backs upon the dead McKinley and the living Roose- velt and want no more prosperity and no more good times. L7 “But I do not believe that the people of the State of California can We fooled into voting for the party which gave them that eight short years ago the hard times, the distress, the want and penury which was ours under th% domination of Cleveland and the Democracy.” (Ap- plause). The entire meeting was exceptionally enthusiastic, Pardee being cheered tu- nultuously when he first appeared in the Lall, and frequently interrupted by ap- plause during his speech. CONVENTION AND RALLY. Solano County Democrats Have a Busy Day in Vallejo. VALLEJO, Sept. 21.—The Democralic County Convention was reconvened here to-day. W. S. Killingsworth of Vacaville was named for the Assembly and George ‘Weniger of Vallejo for Treasurer and Tax Collector. These two gentlemen had been nominated by the County Committee, but it was deemed prudent to have a county convention ratify selections. Vallejo Democrats opened the campaign here this evening. For half an hour be- fore the meeting began in Farragut Thea- ter, the block on Georgia street; in which the theater is located, was enlivened by stirring music and illuminated with red fire and roman candles. The meeting in Farragut Theater was a great affair. W. S. Killingsworth of Vacaville, the nom- inee for the Assembly, acted as chairman, Ail of the nominees ‘on the county ticket were present. The principal speakers were T. F. Barry and T. W. Hickey of San Francisco. Gage to Talk in Kern County. BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 27. — Governor Gage is expected to open the Republican campaign in Bakersfield early in October. Al Lindley, one of the delegates. to the State convention, had an interview with the Governor in San Francisco yesterday and got his promise t¢ come here, (L] PORTERVILLE PAV ILION K\ 4 i = GEORGE C. PARDEE, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR, AND OTHER PARTY LEADERS AND SCENES IN THE TOWNS WHERE THEY ADDRESSED RATIFICATION MEETINGS YESTERDAY. R — ORTERVILLE, Sept. 27.—The Republican campaign of Tu- lare County was opened here this evening with an enthusi- astic mass meeting in the opera-house. About 800 were present. There was music by the Porterville High School band and singing by a male quartet. J. E. Shuey acted as chairman. Nearly all of the county nominees were present and each in turn gave a short speech, after which the chairman introduced Major Kyle of San Francisco as the speaker of the even- ing. Kyle spoke eloquently of the prosperity of the country and the condition of the treasury, in contrast to what it was un- der Democratic rule. He said that the next House of Representatfves would be Republican, under Speaker Littlefield probably, and that in electing Congress- men the people should choose those who could get/into touch with the Speaker if he desired to have recognition before the House and promote legislation in the in- terests of his State. Major Kyle pre- dicted the election of Pardee and the rest of the State ticket by large majori- ties. He was followed by A. R. Orr, nominee for the Assembly in the Twenty- seventh District, who delivered a short address. St b i NEEDHAM AND HAYES TALK. Open the Republican Campaign in ‘Watsonville. ‘WATSONVILLE, Sept. 27.—The Repub- lican campaign was formally opened in ‘Watsonville and the Pajaro Valley this evening with a rousing meeting in the opera house, which was called to order Ly Judge Julius Lee. Never before on the first meeting of a campaign has the opera house held such an audience. Con- gressman J. C.. Needham was enthusias- tically recelved when he arose to address the gathering, and frequently during his talk the outbursts of applause were pro- nounced. Needham said that the Republican Special Dispatch to The Call, s —_— Tajor Kyle Opens Tulare County Campaign | for Protection and Prosperity. party in this campaign could point to promises fulfilled and pledges redeemed. The affirmative legislation of the last ses- sion of Congress would result in the early entry upon the construction of an isth- mian canal. The question of transporta- tion was an fmportant and vital one to the people of the Pacific Coast. Our sur- plus farm products must be shipped many miles to market and the canal would bring an unprecedented boon to the Cali- fcrnia farmer. The high cost of trans- pertation, which the people must bear, to say nothing of the cost of production, bore an intimate relation to a protective tariff. In order to equalize conditions and permit producers on this coast to sell their products of the farm for a fair re- turn, the Government must impose pro- tective duties. A revenue tariff, Need- ham said, will not satisfy the California producer of citrus fruits, wines, olive ofl, canned and dried frults and raisins. The principle of protection was vital and the tariff must be ever levied with the pro- tective feature foremost. E. A. Hayes of San Jose delivered a stirring speech, speaking particularly of the good results achieved from organiza- tion in a political fight. At the conclusion of the meeting a Pardee, Anderson and Needham club was organized, with a charter membership roll of more than 200, and a splendid corps of officers was elected. — Corning Republicans Ratify. CORNING, Sept. 2I.—The citizens of Corning turned out in force to-night to ratify the nomination of Dr. Pardee for Governor. Captain C. H. Severance was elected chairman. Judge J. F. Ellison, candidate for Superior Judge, and W. A. Fish, candidate for County Clerk, madg short addresses, and Colonel John H. Roberts, the speaker of the evening, held the audience for more than an hour with an address on the issues of the cam- paign. He dwelt at length on the bene- fits of protection and showed that the Republican party always had been the friend of labor, by providing employment for the laborer. of the late Senator James ) St v LANGOON WILL BE INDORSED ° BY DEMOCRATS | Labor Party’s Nominee Favored by the Bourbons. Cannon Is Caucus Choice for the Convention Chairman. Three Candidates in Field Who Want to Fill Vacancy Caused by J. J. McDade’s Retirement. ——ien For the sake of harmony and for the purpose of avolding snags on Monday night when the Democratic Municipal Convention goes into session, fifteen well- disposed members of the party held an executive session in the office of Louls Mooser yesterday afternoon and proceed- ed to arrange a programme. The meeting was held at the suggestion of Mooser, who is a member of the exec- utive committee of the Democratic State Central Committee. Mr. Mooser is a be- liever in harmony and he evidently thought trouble could be avoided if cer- tain stalwarts got together and framed matters. He, therefore, invited R. Porter Ashe, M. J. Brown, Charles Weller, James Pringle, William M. Cannon, Louis de F. Bartlett, Stephen Potter and a few others to attend the meeting. Others were invit- ed, but they did not see fit to attend. Gavin McNab was not present. The first business discussed was the selection of a chairman for the municipal convention. Jimmie Pringle has aspira- tions to preside over the deliberations of the convention and so has Mr. Cannon. Both gentlemen were named for the honor and the caucus decided in favor of Can- non by a vote of 8 to 7. Mr. Cannon now hopes to have the convention ratify the action. of the caucus. He will have a small sized fight on his hands, as a num- ber of districts intend to put up a can- didate for the purpose of adding a little excitement to the convention. It is not known whether Mr. Cannon is favorable to McNab. The latter has the power to name the chairman. The caucus decided to indorse Willlam H. Langdon, the Labor party’s choice for | Superintendent of Public - Instruction. | Mr. Langdon will have a rival in the field, but it is very likely he will receive the Democratic nomination, as he has the promise of a number of delegations to support him when his name is put before the convention. The caucus also decided to lend its mor- al support to bring about the nomination of Livingston Jenks, Willam T. Bag- gett and Frank Dunne for Superior Judges. #The members of the convention who attended the caucus will ald Leo Kauffman and Timothy J. Fitzpatrick toward securing nominations for Justices of the Peace. Knex Maddox, R. V. Whiting, John J. Greeley, W. H. Pratt and T. W. Hickey, the committee appointed to flll the vacan- cy in the First Equalization District, have until October 15 to select a substi- tute for J. J. McDade, who has with- drawn. William Cubery, Charles Gildea and Justus Wardell are in the fight to secure the vacant place. —_————————— %l Yolo’s Democratic Ticket.
