He strongly asserted that the real facts of the great economic struggle are dim in the minds of all except those who were most directly en’gé.g‘ed, and for this reason it is not difficult to cloud the truth as to what actudlly occurred, and this, he pointed out, the enemies of Dr. George C.

U. strike lnl 1894, took the stump to-night | in the interests of Dr. George C. Pardee for Gov- ernor, and delivered his | first address at West Berke- | ley. There has been much talk and no | | little criticism of Dr. Pardee from Demo- | cratic campaigners for his supposed atti- | tude in this strike, and many misstate- ments have been made. Mr. Roberts finally declded to take the stump in the interests of the Republican candidate and tell the exact conditions | that surrounded those exciting times | from the point of view of one who was | directly connected with the strike. Mr. Roberts is now connected with the Fire Department of the =ity of Oakland, is a member of the International Union of Steam Engineers, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, holds his old Amer- | ican Railway Union cards and letters con- | veying the thanks of the Order of Rail- | way Telegraphers for assistance rendered | them in some of their troubles. | The meeting to-night was of more than lceal importance for these reasons. It was called to order by County Commit- | teeman Dr. H. N. Rowell, who introduced Thomas Dowd as chairman. The various | county candidates spoke, and finally Mr. | Rcberts was introduced. In the course of his address he told the following story of the strikes TO INTEREST OF LABOR. “No man in this State has worked hard- er in the cause of unionism than I; no man has suffered more or sacrificed more in that cause than I; po union man in the whole country is more careful of his rec- ord as a union man than I, and no amount of promises or pay wouild induce me to stand before you this evening as I do advising union - men- to vote for Dr. George C. Pardee for Governor unless I henestly belleved that it was to their best interests so to do. “During this campaign you will hear all kinds of false reports about Dr. Par- dee. Some will say that he pickhandled the railroad strikers in 18%; and some have quoted him as saying that a glass of water and a piece of bread were good enough for any workingman, while oth- ers will tell you that he played the fire hose upon the industrial army. But when you ask the men who tell these storles where they get their information from you will always find that there is no foundation for them. “It is now eight years since the Indus- rial Army troubles and the A. R. U. strike, and the real facts of these two exciting events are dim in the minds of all except those who were most directly engaged, and for this reason it is very easy by false statements to cloud the truth as to what actually occurred. This is what the political enemies of Dr. Par- dee are doing. A FRIEND OF LABOR. “If any one tells you that Dr, Pardee is an enemy of organized labor tell that party that he is mistaken, or you can | kel * ettt | | I | ! o — LEADER OF GREAT STRIKE WHO GIVES SUPPORT TO CANDIDATE PARDEE - a1 G (M X oo heard Dr. Pardee say that he was op- posed to working people organizing to better their condition. This can not be done, for Dr. Pardee has never by word or deed opposed unions. “The Democrats held their open meet- ing in San Francisco a short time ago, and the papers told of the prominent Democrats who were present, Geary, Budd, Coleman, Foote and many others. But where was the man who held more power in the Democratic State conven- tion than all of these prominent Demo- crats combined—where was Gavin Mec- Nab? “Why was his name not mentioned? Ask the union musicians of San Francis- co, ask the union teamsters of San Fran- cisco, in fact ask any up-to-date union man, and you will get your answer. A large number of the Democratic laboring men of San Francisco refused to vote at the Democratic primaries because they knew that no man could obtain a nomi- nation from their party for whom they could afford to vote, no matter how clean his record. “To the wage earners, Democrats, Re- publicans, and labor unionists I will say that when Dr. George C. Pardee is Gov- ernor of this State your interests will be carefully and sacredly guarded.” DALTON IS NOMINATED. use stronger language if you desire. “Ask that party to show you in print one single word that Dr. Pardee has ever sald against organized labor, or ask them to produce a single reliable man who ever e G ACRAMENTO, Oct. 3.—Governor Henry T. Gage has made many appointments during his admin- istration which were considered fll-advised, but this afternoon, in naming a new audifing board to the Com- missioner of Public Works, he appears to have attempted to make the closing hours of his term of office look ridiculous in the eyes of the people of the State. The audit- ing board removed to-day was an advis- ory body, or cabinet, to the Commission- er of Public Works, who has charge of the gigantic task of deepening, widening and generally improving the navigable rivers of the State; also of diverting flood waters from farming lands, and reclaim- ing swamp and overflowed lands, Com- missioner Frank D. Ryan and his expe- rienced auditing board have done good work, and many plausible plans had been arranged for the future, but Gage has thrown out the entire board. Commissioner Ryan said this afternoon that he regretted that the board which had worked with him had not been re- tained. The personnel of the deposed board was strong. It was made up of men who had given years of study to the work intrusted to them. There is nothing personal against the Governor's new appointees. It can only be said they are inexperienced, and that | they are machine politicians. | John J. Campbell of Galt, editor of the Gagzette, published at that place, is ap- pointed to succeed Hugh J. Corcoran of Stockton. Corcoran is known not only in this State but all along the Pacific Coast where there is a waterway of suf- ficient depth to float even a light draught steamer. as one of the most experienced steamboat men who ever directed the movements of a river transportation com- pany. For years he has been the head and brains of one of the most important transportation companies in the State, with headquarters in Stockton. Captain Thomas B. Hall of this city is succecded by George B. Stack, the well known Sacramento plumber and ex-school director. Captain Hall has made a study of the Sacramento and S8an Joaquin riv- ers for years, and is particularly familiar with every dip and bend of the former stream. He has given years of intelli- gent study to the question of developing and promoting river transportation in the OVERNOR GAGE D EXPERIENCED OFFICIALS So-Called Independent Republicans Name Him for Assessor.

Bernard Mooney, a storekeeper in the Internal Revenue office in this city, suc- ceeds John Markley, Bank Commissioner and ex-Secretary of the Board of Exam- iners, who is thoroughly familiar with the needs of the rivers. His presence on the board has been deemed of great value. Ex-State Senator Gillis Doty is to be succeeded by Dr. W. P. Mathews, at pres- ent Secretary of the State Board of Health, and at one time deputy State Librarian. He also represent- ed the county of Tehama in the State Legislature several years ago. Gillis Doty was the sponsor in the Senate for the bill appropriating $300,000 for river improvement. There is no man in the State who is better posted on the needs of the rivers than Senator Doty. D. D. McLaren will succeed George W. Patterson on the board. Both reside in Stockton. The Governor reappointed State Senator Robert T. Devlin a member of the State Board of Prison Commissioners and named L. J. Rose Jr. of Ventura as a trustee of the State Normal School at San Diego to succeed W. R. Guy of San Diego.

Dalton was nominated for County As- sessor by the Independent Republican Convention. The so-called Independent Republican Convention was pulled off ac- cording to programme, and it did just what Leslie Blackburn told The Call it would do—put Dalton into~ the county fight. Now the cat is out of the bag and there is war in every corner of Alameda County. ‘What effect this final decision of Dalton to make a run for Assessor will have upon the county and State tickets is prob- lematical. There are those who say that it will hurt Dr. Pardee, while others think that it will help his candidacy. Those who declare that it will cost Dr. Pardee votes in this city based their be- llef upon the assumption that some of Svpervisor Mitchell’s friends will hold Dr. | Pardee responsible for the fact that Dal- ton got into the fight. This is unlikely, however, for it has been known for some time that there was almost an open rup- ture between Dr. Pardee and Dalton and that Dr. Pardee was unable to control the County Assessor. PROGRAMME GOES THROUGH. The action of the so-called Independent Republicans was not unexpected, owing to the publication in The Call of their intentions. The publication disconcerted some plans, for it was expected to spring the name 6f ‘Dalton to- night. After The Call’s publication this morning Dalton told many people that he was not a candidate for a nomination at the hands of the convention. But the con- o vention went right ahead with its pro- gramme and nominated Dalton just as it was always intended that it should do. Henry P. Dalton is the sole nominee of the Independent Republicans, though they made many indorsements. Every candi- date on the Union Labor party ticket who was npt a Democrat or a Populist was indorsed, while Dalton was tendered a nomination. The nominees on the Repub- lican ticket were absolutely ignored, be- sides Heing ruthlessly abused in the plat- form. |One or two Democrats were in- dorsed,| but the convention corrected itself before |it was too late. The fact that the office of Assessor was placed| first in the report on order of business lent weight to the suspicion that the convention was directly interested in the belated candidacy of Dalton. And sure enough, when the convention got down to the point where nominations were called for, his was the first and only name to be placed before the convention. SPONSOR FOR DALTON. 'W. £. O'Brien, who appeared to be the generalissimo of the whole affair, stood sponsor for Dalton. He sald that Dalton was the most abused man in Alameda County. H2 pictured Dalton as a fear- less man, a friend of the taxpayer and a friend of the poor. O'Brien withheld his candidate’s name until the last breath, and then Wign he burst out with it the front row uelegates gave a yell that sounded as if coming from the throats of hired claquers. The delegates in the rear of *he hall did not applaud. Ex-Policeman P. H. Felley and R. C. B e e s s i i e o] SIGNS OF GREAT RALLY AT R. GEORGE C. PARDEE, the able and popular nominee for Governor of his native State, re- turns to-day from the south, where he was warmly welcomed by multitudes of his fellow citizens. Al- ready the people of Northern California arc preparing to extend to the standard- bearer of the Republican party a greeting as cordial and enthusiastic,as that which rendered his campaign in the south mem- orable. : Saaied Alden Anderson, Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor, is in the city and will attend the great demonstration at the Mechanics’ Pavilion to-night. Later on in the campaign his services as a speaker will be placed under the direction of the Republican State Central Commit- tee. It is understood that he will visit Los Angeles, San Diego and other south- ern counties. Business affairs connected with immense shipments of fruit from California to Kastern markets engaged the attention of the nominee during thé entire month of September. Alex Brown of Calaveras, member of the State Board of Equalization, Second District, and candidate for re-election, was at the headquarters of the Republi- can State Central Committee yesterday. He brings assurances from mountain counties that the Republicans are in line for Dr. Pardee and the whole ticket. Frank Roney of Vallejo, who is one of the oldest trades unionists in the State and one of the stanchest and most ‘en- thusiastic supporters of Dr. Pardee and the entire Republican ticket, will soon take the stump. He was the active, un- paid organizer of many of the earlier unions. .He was president of ‘the Trades Assembly twenty years. ago., He was president of the Sailors’ Union, organizer called the Labor Council),: and also or- ganizer of the Iron Trades Council. . Roney was grand marshal of the labor procession held on May 11, 188, when Governor Stoneman .declared.the day-a legal holiday and took part in the pro- cession. He was vice president 'of the Iron Molders’ Union of North America | and a delegate to the American Federa- tion of Labor. He is a past president of the Vallejo Labor Council and at present of the Federated Trades Council (now PAVILION TO-NIGHT chairman of the executive committee. There is a deal of comment in political circles concerning Candidate Lane’s new departure and his unstinted praise of President Roosevelt's administration. The Republicans do not object to the indorse- ment—in fact, they would not object if Candidate Lane should decide to come out in support of Dr. Pardee and the en- tire State ticket. It is remarked that Lane has cut away from his assoclates on the Democratic State ticket and is saying, nothing to cheer up the Demo- cratic nominees for Congress. James H. Budd, Barney Murphy, Tom Geary, Jim O’Brien and A. Caminett! are in the dark concerning Lane’s future intention. There is an impression that McNab has some- thing up his sleeve that will surprise the ‘““cabinet” when it is produced. HARBOR REPUBLICAN CLUB.

The rest of the convention work con- sisted of indorsements. There was a seri- ous hitch at one point, however, that re- quired - the combined efforts of W. 8. O’Brien, Leslie Blackburn, Ex-Policeman Felley and J. P. Betancue, the conven- tion - managers, to disentangle. The trouble arose over the indorsement by the Oakland delegation of W. H. H. Gentry, a Democrat, nominated by the Demo- cratic and Uniom Labor conventions for Justice of the Peace. When O'Brien dis- covered that Gentry was a Democrat he moved for a reconsideration. Gentry’'s friends outvoted him, however, and O'Brien appealed to the entire convention. There was a long wrangle over th%flght of the convention to interfere, but finally Chairman Dr. H. D. Webster ruled with O’Brien, who succeeded then in con- vincing the Oakland delegation that it would not be good politics for a Republi- can convention to indorse a Democrat. WORK OF CONVENTION. The convention organized by the elec- tion of Dr. H. D. Webster as temporary chairman after W. H. O’'Brien had called it to order. Charles B. Moon was elected secretary and P. H.

LANE APPEALS FOR THE VOTES OF VALLEJOANG Democratic Nominee Ad- dresses Crowd in Far- ragut Theater: Talks Cheerfully of the Re- sult of His Tour of the South. Special Dispatch to The Call. ALLEJO, Oct. 3.—Vallejo accorded a hearty reception to-night to Franklin K. Lane, Democratio nominee for Governmor. The dis- tinguished visitor was met at the boat landing by Mayor Lynch, W. H. Kelley, George Roe and J. F. Walsh and conveyed in a carriage to the hotel. Lane was accompanied to Vallejo.by Alexander Rosborough, nominee for Secretary of State. Most of the Democratic county candidates were in town, which added to the political interest of the occasion. The early hours of the evening were en- livened on Georgla street by music and red fire. Farragut Theater, where the speaking took place, was crowded to the doors. Small flags held by many persons in the audience added color and patriot- ism to the scene. The meeting, which was largely a Union Labor gathering, was called to order by D. M. Miller of Suisun. Mayor P. B. Lynch acted as chairman, City Clerk Thomas O'Hara as secretary and many prominent citizens served as vice presi- dents. J. H. Marble and John 8. Patterson, representing the trades unions of San Francisco, spoke in advocacy of Lane's candidacy. Patterson said he was a Re- publican, but was attracted to Franklin K. Lane, as Lane had ever been the champion of the plain people. Alexander Rosborough, nominee for Secretary of State, spoke briefly: and aroused much enthusiasm. On being presented Lane was greeted with rousing cheers. He sdid that he brought glad tidings of great joy from the southern part of this State, where he has recently been campaigning, to those who hoped for Democratic victory. There was perfect content and satisfaction with our ticket down there. The speaker was glad to see so many workingmen present. He.had labored with them and for them and felt an interest in them. He was pleased to say that he had been recetved courteously everywhere except in one spot and that was Los Angeles, where one newspaper called him a cheap man and a demagogueé because he went among the workingmen at the noon hour and asked for their support. Lane challenged the right of imported speakers to come here and tell Califor- nians how to vote. ‘‘Because the country at large Is pros- perous have you no right to change your constables here in Vallejo?” he asked. Lane said he has no desire to be the Governor of a portion of California or of a class, but that he proposed to be the Governor of the entire State. He belleved he could be of use to the workingman, the farmer and the business man; that he could bring equity between the varied in- terests, and with one hand to labor and the other to capital say that naught but Jjustice should be done. 3 ’ Faul L0 TR BatTiMoR tless Baltimore Rye leads in universal popularity because there's nothing wanting.
