Mr. Shortridge was met at the train by the Berkeley Republican Club, of which Thomas Rickard is president, and escorted to the hall with the bursting of bands and the music of the College City Band. In the line were ‘the South Berkeley Repub! Club, J. 8. Crew, a the University Republican Sterns, president; the Pardee Ciub, G. C. Brown, president, and the West Berkeley Republican Club, C.

Allen Smith and Joe Mills, then rendered & song, after which President Rickard in- | troduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. Shortridge, who was cheered long and loud. When the audience was quiet, the distinguished orator began his speech. He | said. CONTINUED EXPANSION. In the course of his speech Mr. Short- ridge discussed the doctrine of expansion. In part he spoke as follows: From the infancy of the republic, through- out her whole history, American diplomacy has exerted itself toward the expansion of our ter- ritory and infivence. In spite of doubts and | fears, in spite of prophecies of evil and coun- sels of timidity, we have grown, expanded, un- il to-day the sun never ceaser to shine on our | republic | fought that war? The American people. From Jamestown and Plymouth to this very bour we bave grown and expanded. We have land the greatest mation and 1 would have my country be- greatest nation on the seas. West- ard, this has been our watch- ed not the advice of Horace e us to follow the sun. The before the ploneer and the disappeared. Note the steps of our ce the fruits of our diplomacy. In we acquired by purchase from France, in the clutch of Napoleon, the Louisiana ory for the now insignificant sum of $12,- Who doubts the wisdom of that in- 1? In 1819, under the illustrious Mon- we acquired Florida from Spain for the lossal sum of $5,000,000. Notwithstanding almost hopelessly Democratic tendency of who_would seek to rescind that In 1845 we annexed Texas, and by became embroiled with who now discredits the t brought about the acquisition ar State? Who foresaw the result of the Mexican war? By the treaty of Gua- daloupe Hidalgo, made effective by proclama- tion on July 4, 1848, and upon payment of $15,- 000,000, we acquired more than 500,000 squa: territory, which include parts of Aj d New Mexico and the whole of Colo- Nevada, Utah and California. Up to esent no one, not even the most narrow onist—for 'there are contractionists as no one according to my nas insisted upon re-ceding territory to Mexico. In 1853 we felt & cramved, a little crowded, and so we M $10,000,000 for some additional 5,000 square miles. Has any one stioned the wisdom of General James Gads- er to Mexico, for negotiating e? In 1867 we acquired Alaska ,000, then by many supposed to be the inaccessible home of glaciers and produc- tive of nothing but icebergs, now known to be a storehouse of inexhaustible mineral wealth, rich in forestry, fisheries, yes, with grezat agri- cultural , possibilities: then as distant as the pole, now connected by rafl and wire, a vast and splendid domain, where clvilization can and will thrive in the ages to come under the American flag. Do I hear any one heap odium William Henry Seward for negotiating with purchase of Alaska? Even the lent. Great statesman, great Republican, great diplomat, Wil- He looked far ahead and ssibilities of Alaska and the Pacific Coast. Scoffed at and ridiculed and very likely cariacatured by the Lilliputians of his generation, he had unwavering faith in the future, and he said that the shores washed by the Pacific would be the seat of civilization in the future and that great ocean the highway of the world's commerce. I utter his prophetic words with reverence, I pronounce his name with gratitude and love, for he was the friend and champion of California. To him more than to any other one man we owe it that California came into the Union dedicated for- ever to freedom. Needing a victualing point in time of peace for our Pacific Ocean commerce, a coal- ing station for our navy in time of war, our diplomacy in 1572 grasped the importance of Samoa, and to-day the best of that southern group belongs to us. Who now doubts that this acquisition was timely and in the interest not only of ourselves but helpful to the aborig- ines and to civilization? For like and additional reasons our diplom- acy (our Republican diplomacy), recognizing its strategic importance, annexed Hawali, and to-day our fiag—once hauled down but raised segain—floats over the capital of Kamehameha. Where is the statesman who would advise this to retire from this modern paradise and leave it to retrogression or to become the prize of some European nation? You might as well ask Senator Hoar to give up Plymouth Rock as to expect the American peoble to set these midocean islands adrift on the sea of international diplomacy. Thus westward, onward, upward we marched, adding to our national domain, open- ing new fields for American enterprise, sup- planting savagery by civilization, indolence by thrift, license and anarchy by liberty and law, and gugmenting the sum total of human happi- ness.

ENTURA, Sept. 21.—This was Democratic day in Ventura County. Lane, Dockweiler, Smythe, Hanley and Rosbor- ough addressed large meetings at Santa Paula, Oxnard and Ventura. The nominees Teached Santa Paula from Santa Barbara at 10:09 o'clock and were immediately escorted to Balcom Hall, where they addressed an audience of 250 voters. Their aggregate time be- ing limited to one hour, their speeches were necessarily brief. Lane edvocated the establishmeht of a free market on the San Francisco water front and a State labor bureau, and promised to identify himself in every respect with the progress of the great State of Cali- fornia. Smythe, in a brief speech, touched upon the tariff and irrigation, and concluded by assuring the voters that a Democratic Congress would be the salvation of the country. In the afternoon Oxnard’s Democracy greeted Lane and his fellow-campaigners with enthusiasm. Masonic Hall was beau- tifully decorated. The candidates were escorted through the sugar factory and shook hands with 300 employes. In Oxnard Lane met several former San Francisco friends. The attendance of farmers, frultmen and beet-growers 'was noticeable, One feature of Lane's talk was his trib- ute to President Roosevelt. Lane sald that the President had played a man's part in life, and that he recogmzed the nobility of Mr. Roosevelt's character, while differing from him on important questions, ning, more terrible than the thunderbolt, we fell upon the foe. Manila, El Caney, San Juan Hill, Santiago—and all was over. The ever victorious American sailor, the un- defeated American soldier, rested. The sword returned to its scabbard, and the wotk of the diplomat commenced. By the treaty of Parls, negotiated by five liberty-loving, constitution-loving American statesmen, ratified by the United States Senate, approved by as great a President as ever sat in the chair of Washington, indorsed by the American people after reflection. and delibera- tion—by the treaty of Paris Spain retired from Cuba—and we have kapt and intend to keep the national faith with her—anad ceded to us Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippine archipel ago; and we, all victorious, in generosity, benevolence and magnanimity, the equal ot which history affords no example, we gave— not pald—we gave Spain $20,000,000 and as- sumed and, by all the rules and laws of na- tions from Chaldea to this hour, have and hold rightful sovereignty over those islands. THE PATH OF DUTY. Let us have faith in ourselves. We stand in the present. We face the future, What is the path of duty, safety, honor? Let us not cravenly seek for an avenue of escape from national responsibility and international obli- gations. ‘We are in the Philippines. Our flag is there. The first requirement, the indispensable re- quirement, is peace. Let us fear not! There is no occasion for faint hearts, no cause for regrets. Nations do not grow in strength and the cause of liberty and law is not advanced by the doing of easy things. The harder the task the greater ‘will be the result, the benefit and the honor. The liberators will never be- come the oppressors. A self-governed people will never vermit despotism in any govern- ment which they foster and defend. Thus spoke the now immortal Willlam McKinley. I quote to approve with all my heart and soul his true and prophetic words. Let us have faith in ourselves., The Ameri- can flag has mever been lifted but to bless. Under it there never shall crouch nor cower slave or serf. Victor and vanquished find equal protection to life, liberty and happiness beneath its folds. Symbol of beneficent power, it is the emblem of freedom, of progress, of peace, of clvilization, of righteousness. Conse- crated by the prayers of our ancestors and sanctified by their blood, raised to heaven by ‘Washington, made stainless by Lincoln, and now full high advanced above all flags of earth by Willlam McKinley, it is not the “‘to- ken of tyranny,” but a republican oriflame of liberty, which shall flood the Philippines with light and glory, and under God's blessing eman- cipate the world! aioipliglaast MEETING AT FRUITVALE.

Coleman delivered an address at a Democfatic meet- ing to-night in Turner Hall The first. half of his speech was devoted to national issues. He claimed that the Republi- can party backed up the trusts, which were a curse to the country. The last Re- publican Congress, he said, had the op- portunity. to modify the tariff in the in- terest of labor,:but failed to do so. He claimed that Roosevelt was a friend of | the people; that the President believed in muzzling the trusts and revising the tariff, but in this he was opposed by the leaders of the Republican party. If the Democrats were given an opportunity, said Coleman, they would roll the stone away and legislate for the relief of the people. Coleman spoke in highly eulogistic terms of Franklin K. Lane, who, he said, had always been the tried and true friend of labor. He predicted that Lane would be elected Governor in November. At times the speaker waxed eloquent and his | speech was applauded throughout. cates the building of large storage res- ervoirs in the mountains and the con- struction of free roads through Yosemite Valley.
