An enthusiastic. meeting was held last night ‘by the' Thirty-ninth’ ‘District Inde- pendent. Republican Club gt Richmond Heil, corner ‘of Fourth avenue and Clem-" ent street. The citizens of Richmond district turned out in full force and greet- ed ‘the speakers with; great applause. President H. Hutaff presided ovef "the meeting. The speakers were: Congress- men Eugene F. Loud of the Fifth Dis- trict, W. W. Allen, nominee for the As- sembly in the Thirty-ninth District, and Hamiiton A. Bauer, nominee for the State Senate in tfie Twehty-second Senatorial District. Congressman Loud declared that the’] present campalgn was one of the greatest importance to the people of this State. He remarked, that the Democratic party had substantially lost its identity and had linked itself with what is known as the Union Labor party. He asserted that there never was a time in the history of the country when men; were doing bet- ter than they are to-day. The condition is such tbat the jobs are hunting men, instead of the men hunting jobs. He mentioned the great benefits reaped by San Francisco from the Republican LANE MEETING 15 SCHEDULED Members of “Cabinet” to Have Theater Party. VERYTHING is in readiness for the reception to be ten- dered Franklin K. Lane at the Alhambra Theater this eveén- ing. The spellbinders have been engaged; the music and red fire has been looked after by Al McCabe and an effort will be made to fill the theater. The last meeting held by the Democrats was not a successful one.. The gallery was empty. John J, Barrett will preside at the meeting - to-night. ~ Speeches will be de- livered by Lane, former Governor Budd, Robert. M. Fitzgerald and Willlam F. Alford. The Iroquois Club and other Democratic organizations will march from the -California Hotel. Campaign songs will be rendered by a quartet and everything will be done by the State Cen- tral Committee to make the meeting an enthusiastic one. On Monday evening next the members of the “Cabinet” and invited guests to the number of fifty will occupy seats at the Columbia Theater. The. seats have been paid for by Charles Wesley -Reed, but the banguet that fpllows the theater party will be paid for by the guests. Reed and Arthur Fisk attended a ‘‘Cabinet” luncheon at the Palace Hotel last month and during & discussion of polities in Sacramento Reed wagered that Mayor Clark’s forces would carry the primaries. Fisk took the Gage end and, as is well known, the Governor's crowd won out The wager was for two seats at one of the local playhouses, but the ‘“‘Cabinet” objected to such selfishness. President Jim O’Brien raised the number of tickets to fifty and Reed was too much of a sport to back down. For the past week the “Cabinet” has been holding executive sessions in Jim O'Brien’s office. It leaked out on the “highways and byways” vesterday that these sessions were held for the purpose of deciding who should be invited to at- ténd the fedtivities. For a ‘time the “Cabinet” was not disposed to allow either Fisk or Reed to attend, but it was thought advisable to do so as Reed might cancel the order for the tickets. Dem- ocrats from all over the State who have heard of the ““Cabinet” are striving to break into the mystic circle. Prominent _warhorses are willing to be taxed large sums for the privilege of attending, but the exclusive Democratic organization is adamant. The leading members of the “Cabinet” are former Governor Budd, Theodore Bonnet, Judge Willlam P. Lawlor, Will- jam P. Humphreys, John J. Barrett, Jim O’Brien and Charles Heggerty. After the “theater party the “Cabinet” will banquet at the Palace Hotel. Following-are’ the ‘itineraries of the leading candidates and speakers of the Denmiocratié party: Franklin K.

LINE INUADES CIFY OF FRESNO Nominee's = Visit Stirs the Democracy to Enthusiasm, Special Dispatch to The Call. RESNO, Sept. 30.—Franklin K. Lane,” Democratic nomineé for ‘Governor - of California, ad- dressed an Immense gathering in this city to-night. Lane and his party arrived early In the day from Bakersfleld, where he spoke last night. To-day he made the rounds of the city, being es- corted by local Democrats. Early in the evening the Democratic cannon began to boom and the Democratic hosts to as- semble in the Courthouse Park, where the meeting was to be held. While the gathering was very large, it was not by any means entirely Democratic, there be- ing in the crowd perhaps as many Re- publicans as members of the party of which Lane is the nominee. But there was plenty of Democratic enthusiasm, that broke forth at the mention of everything Bourbonie, from Willlam J. Bryan to free trade. W. D. Foote, chairman .of the Demo- cratic County Committee, called the meet- ing to order and read a list of the vice- presidents, most of whom were already cn the platform. He then introduced James. A. Burns of this city as chairman, Burns made a short address, in which Le told why; from his point of view, no one had cause to be ashamed of- the Demo- cratic party. He mentioned all of the party leaders from Jefferson to Bryan. Burns introduced Isidor Dockweiler, candidate for Liéutenant Governor, who spoke entertainingly for more than a half hour. Dockweller was succeeded by’ Franklin K. Lane, who for more than ‘an hour spoke on the issues of the campalgn. Lane began by showing that, according to Cal- ifornia history, the election of a Demo- cratic Governor is due this year. Contin- uing,: he ‘told of his speechmaking “in Southern California, where he had gone into the machine shops and addressed the men at their work. He spoke of the Ban Joaquin Valley and of the mighty oppor- tunities that were open to it. Fresno, he said, was almost a miracle among cities. Lane continued: You have not seen, my people, what Fresno is_to.be; you have not seen what the Ban Joaquin Valley is to be, Where you have one man to-day you will have one hundred in a few years. e end has not been reached in the productiveness of the valley.and the'intelli- &ence of your people will bring about a greater production and a richer return.

Dr. Pardee was accompanied by his wife and with the party was D. E. McKinlay, Frank Matteson, nominee for member of the State Board of Equalization, and Captain M. J. Daniels, Republican nominee. for Congress In the RBighth District. The party was met at the train by a band, the Columbia Marching Club and an offi- cial reception committee, besides a big delegation of Republicans, and escorted to the Rossmore Hotel, where-an informal reception wds held to enable Dr. Pardee to greet old acquaintandes and make new ‘friends. The. meeting opened at 8:15 o’clock and Dr. Pardee was introduced by Chalrman Bryan Willlams. Dr. Pardee forcefully presented reasons why this State is in duty bound to uphold tire policy of Me- Kinley and its interpretation by President Roosevelt. He said he was unpledged, -except to stand squarely upon the plat- form of the Republican party and if elected to give thé people of California as good and clean an administration as it was in his power to give. Pardee re- llfl!!,rmed his sympathy = for organized abor. condemnations of everything in general McKinlay then told of the wonderful growth of the trade of the country across the Pacific in the last few years and called attention to the fact that this trade was wholly the property of California if she would but grasp the opportunity. He asked his auditors to vote for the candidate of the party that had done everything to better the conditions of men who worked and scouted the idea that the Jabor vote would be given to Lane. Frank Matteson made a brief address, as did Captain Danfels. After the-meeting a reception to Dr: and Mrs. Pardee-was given in the Colum- bfa’' Club rooms, which were beautifully decorated.” Hundreds met the Republican: nominee for Goyernor and grasped him by the hand. v PARDEE IN RIVERSIDE.

He arriVed from Sen Bernardino at 10:45 o'clock and was tendered an infor- Evans presided. The crowd was large and sympathetic, greeting the nominee with a great burst of applause, which was frequently repeated during his ad- dress. Dr. Pardee confined himself al- most exclusively to State issues. He sald in part: California is a great State. I love every inch of it and I love its peopfe. There is no interest in the State of California which, if I am elected Governor, will not receive the at- tention that it should have at the hands of the Chief Executive of the State, &nd I.shall wel- come every new industry, every new thing that shall De for the good of California. I am for anything and everything that will lead 1o _the State’s advancement in all lines. It I am elected -Governor—and I am going to be—I shall be Governor myseif and all of my official acts, be they good or bad, wise or foolish, will be mine, ~and mine alone,” and Tno man shall have the right or privilege to say to me, ‘Do this,” or “Do that I shall be Governor of California from Del Norte to San Diego, &nd the whole breadtlr of the State and every man and every woman and every class of people shall look for and recelve from me, 50 far as my frail human nature can give it, exact and equitable justice, and everything that I shall do will be done with an eye singly to the good of the whole people of this State and to every interest within its borders. Addresses were delivered also by Hon. D. E. McKinlay and Frank Mattison. L e e e e e O o ] ) PARDEE BAGKED BY THE DOGTORS Barnest Support Given by Members of His Profession. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 30. The medical friends of Dr. George C. Pardee, the Republican nominee for Gov- ernor, have taken his candidacy much to heart and there is a general desire among the medical men of the entire State to honor the man who has done so much to bring honor to their profession. The Occidental Medical Times has the follow- ing editorial upon the Alameda County doctor: The nomination of George C. Pardee as a candidate for Governor of the State of Cali- fornia is a matter worthy of consideration by the medical profession, especially at this time. Dr. Pardee brings to the position a record in private, professional and public life that is be- yond reproach. He is & superior man in every respect; as & physician and speclalist he stands among the first of our State, and as a politi- o ranks far above 'the ~majority = and among the purest and the best of his own or any other party. It Is admitted by all that the man is most fit for office, and if he is defeated it will be at hands of. the dis- graceful machine element of this State.. State. Senator F. W. Leavitt has partly recovered from the severe throat trouble from which he has been suffering for sev- eral weeks. He has begun a personal canvass of his district and from now on the Senator will be able to participate In the meetings of his party that will be held in his district. Scarcely had the Sena- tor been glven his renomination than the aisabling throat trouble set in and since that time he has not.only been prevented from making his campaign, but has been confined to his bed under the care of Dr. 0. D. Hamlin. Even under the improved condition in which he finds himself Sena- tor Leavitt 18 scarcely able to talk above a whisper. i i SENATOR PERKINS TO SPEAK. The Republican meeting in East Oak- land to-morrow night will be one of con- siderable importance in the . campaign. United States Sendtor George C.

The local candidates of the party will be present and will make an ap- pearance after the Senator has delivered ddress. The meeting will be at ‘Washington Hallsand there will be music and a short parade. The Republican Alliance of this city has been selectéd the escort of honor for the meeting {n San Francisco next Sat- _evening at which Governor Henry A ge will preside and Dr. George C. Pardee and George A. Knight will speak. The alllance will attend the banauet to be given Dr. Pardee at the close of the meel % ¥ _ It has been decided that Congressman z}:ufi& ‘ot Maine Will address the oiti- zens of Oakland on October 1L st The Portuguese Republican Club of San Leandro has organized for the campaign, and will enter heartily into the fight for the entire Republican ticket. This club has not asked for any financial ald from either the county or the State commit- tees, but will conduct its campaign in its own way and with its own resources. The members are going to fight for the ticket without making any demands upon the party, and are going to show their loyalty by holding a big rally in the fu- ture, the date yet to be selected. At the last meeting, on Saturday evening, the entire State and county tickets of the Republican party were indorsed, with special mention of Victor H. Metcalf for Congress and J. G. Mattos Jr. for the Assembly. CLERKS INDORSE TICKET. A special committee of seven was ap- pointed to arrange for the proposéd rally, with Antone Rogers at the head, and J. I Barbeiro, J. W. Willlams, Thomas Rose, A. J. Santos, G. Alameda and Jo- seph Lulz assisting. The next meeting will be:held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock in_the Town Hall at San Leandro. The Retall Clerks’' Association held a meeting last night and indorsed the Union Labor ticket for county offices in Ala- meda County. The various candidates were discussed, and it was decided that they would stand by all, especially Will- fam Smith, eandidate for Treasurer, who is a member of their union. Andrew Furuseth and E. J. Livernash of Ban Francisco will address a labor union meeting at the Tabernacle on Thursday evening. The Union Labor party supporters in the Fifty-second Assembly District have organized a John Geider Assembly Club with the following officer: President, Eugene Pradel Gelder; treasurer, John Alpers. Gelder stated that he was not pledged for United States Senator, but that, if elected, he would take a vote of his dis- trict and abide by the resuit. RALLY IN THIRTIETH DISTRICT Julius Kahn and U. 8. Webb Address The Pardee Club. The Pardee Club of the Thirtieth As- sembly District held its first rally of the campaign last night at the ¢lub’s head- quarters at 103 Seventh street. The as- semblage, which included a very repre- cretary, George sentative gathering of the Republicans of | the district, was addressed by Julius Kahn, U. S. Webb, the Republican nom- inee for Attorney General; C. B. Rode, nominee for State Senator; James F. Lawlor, candidate for the Assembly, and Colonel T. V. Eddy. Considerable enthu- slasm was displayed, especially at the en- trance of the Republican candidate for re- ‘election to Congress. Congressman Kahn stated that he did not intend to make an extended speech at that time, but that he hoped to address the people of the Thirtieth District later in the campaign, when he would discuss more fully the questions at issue. He called attention to the fact that during the Cleveland administration thousands of men were out of employment, factories and mills were idle, and Coxey's army was marching in rags and tatters across the continent to beg for work at the na- tional capital. He contrasted this de- plorable state of affairs with the pros- perity which he said was brought about by the Republican party when it was re- turned to power at the end of Cleveland’'s last term. TU. 8. Webb, who had the honor of being the first speaker of the evening, dwelt at length on the issues of the campaign. He promised, if elected to office, to befriend the laboring people. Colonel T. V. Eddy, who made the prin- cipal speech of the rally, besides pointing out the benefits of the high protective tariff and the danger of changing it, spoke about the trusts. He said that the only legislation that had ever been en- acted to control the trusts had been made by. the Republican party. It was the Re- publican party that had struck the shackles from the limbs of the slaves, and had passed all the laws intended for the uplifting of the laboring classes. Needham Speaks in Soquel. SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 30.—Hon. J. C. Needham, member of Congress and Re- publican candidate for re-election, spoke in Soquel to-night. There was an en- thusiastic gathering of Republicans, many going from Santa Cruz.

Heston, Ul- ster. Secretary Chautauqua. Attorney General, John Cunnen, Erfe. Engineer, Richard W. Herman, Oneida. Treasurer, D. J. Van Auken, Ontario. Judge of Court of Appeals, John C. Gray, New York. This is the ticket promulgated to-night frcm the headquarters of Senator Hill It is the result of a long conference of State leaders in which Senator Hill and Hugh McLaughlin took a leading part. The announcement of this tentative ticket was recelved quietly by the throngs in the hotel corridors, and later rumors wwere circulated that when 1t came before «..e convention it might not stand. The Kings County delegates, led by Senator McCarren, were prominent in talking of | prospective changes. Despite this the Hil people went serenly on, making arrange- ments for the nomination of the ticket. In all of this preliminary work Tammany took mo part, and in fact, after the first conference, Kings County absented it- self. Senator Hill during the evening did not affiry nor deny that the slate as given out by those in his room was absolutely that which the convention would nnlllK nominata. One of the rumors whic sprang up after the slate was announced was that Kings County was pn‘rmn‘ a bolt and that several of the delegates would refuse to abide by the Coler degis- ion _dr veote in the unit system. Senator McCarren in answering said: “It is useless to try and disguise the fact that several members of our dele- gation are not heartily in favor of Coler. We still believe that Judge Parker would accept the nomination if confronted with the fact that the convention wanted him by acclamation. Still I don’t think we will break the unit rule.”” Importnat news of the night from semi-official sources, but lacking authoriz- ation, was that the committee on plat- form had decided to declare for a 1000- ton barge canal and that the committee on credentials, to avoid further trouble, would seat the delegation headed by Wil- llam S. Devery. . GOVERNOR OPENS CAMPAIGN. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 3.—Governor Rgb- ert Lafollette opened the campaign for the Republicans of Wisconsin at the West Side Turner Hall here to-night before an immense audience.” He was enthusias- tically cheered and spoke In part as fol- lows: Though there may appear to be- differences smong Republicans on the tariff issue, it would seem to arise from misuaderstanding rather than disaxreement. From Hamilton to Clay and from Clay to McKinley the principle of -State, Frank H. Mott, upon which a protective tariff rested for support_has not changed. It is charged that the tariff is responsible for trusts. This is made and strongly pressed by those opposed to the Republicans before trusts existed. They ignore the fact that the organization of trusts and combinations bexan but a few years ago and that they are fast gainivg the control of business everywhere. They are not confined to any country nor are they the oftspring of any tariff policy. They rule the market in fres trade products in this country and in whatever products they choose in free trade countries. But _the fact remains that the organization of combinations of capital great enough to mas- ter_the production and fix the price of articles embraced within protective tariff schedules brings upon that system the popular disap- proval which the public entertains toward the trusts generally. A pew law, an artificial law, is supplanting the hatural law of competition. . By secret | agreement the producers of like articles lmit | the quantity and fix the price. T Believs the hour has come when tariff revision must stand | close guard over the tariff schedules. But this revision should be on the true protective prin- | ciple of guarding American labor from fres | competition with cheaper foreign labor and yet take the place of suppressed competition. Asthracite coal is not protected by the tarifr. | But xlance at the situation—the problem it presents. Ninety-five per cent of the emtirs coal fleld 1s gwned and controlled by eight rail- way companies. The lines of these efght rail- ways furnish the sole available means for | transportation of anthracite coal to market. | In pursuit of a settled policy these railways have forced private owners to sell their coal mines and coal lands at half their vaiue, first by increasing the freight rates and second by | retusing to earry the coal for privste owners | at any .price whenever such owners could mot be brought to terms by the establishment of exorbitant _transportation rates. Owning the coal and owning the railroads over Whicll the coal is transported to market, they fixed the freight rates at an exorbitant figure in order to make consumers pay dividends on the over ca-:talization of the rallroads and coal mines. hile rates for other and uke products havs fallen, anthracite coal rates Nave been ad- vanced by the rallways until they are nearly twice as great as on cotton or wheat. They limit the supply in order to force & strong de- mand and hizh market price. As shown by testimony upon trials and investigation, more than $200,000,000 in excess of a fair market Drice has been exacted from consumers. This coal trust bears harder upon the un- fortunate, helpless labor that mines the product than upon the consdmer in these days.
