George A. Knight It is not my preroggtive to discuss campalgn issues on this occasion, although I would es- teem such privflege & great favor. Therefore, as chairman of the Republican County Committee, I have been accorded the honor and extreme pleasure of intro- ducing to you as president of the evening a man who has done as much for the State of California «s any man who ever occupied the. gubernatorial chair; who, by his individual ef- forts, settled the great strike of the teamste who saved this State from {rreparable injury by denouncing the Bubonic Plague Board of Health and proving conclusively to the world that the plague did not exist in our beloved city; who has been your tried, trusted and faithful servant, and who has been the unal- rable and unswerving friend of labor, the Hon. Henry T. Gage, Governor of the State of California. GREAT CHEER RISES AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE FACES VAST THRONG The mention of Gage's name or that of the standard bearer of the party was the ‘signnl for renewed cheering. The Gov- | ernor was given an ovation. For fully five minutes he stood before his big audience, his heart gladdened by the outpouring of appreciation from the throats of his ad- mirers. His smile was a glad one, but it was seen that he was affgcted by the He walted patiently for the applause to cease, During the uproar a lady mounted the steps leading to the platform and after handing the Governor a bouquet of Amer- ican Beauty roses strewed flowers at his It is not my duty, it is not my purpose to discuss here to-night the tenets and the issues of this party, but simply to present to you on this occasion the speakers of the evening. Hence I shall now with very great pleasuro present to you the standard bearer jof the Re- publican party in this campalgn, & gentleman whoee worth, whose ability, demand your seri- ous consideration. (Applause.) And I hope, and if it would not be tautalogical I would say I desire, that he may be elected as the suc- cessor to myself in office (great cheering) upon the assured triumph of the Republican party in the coming November. I present to you now the gentleman whom I have just referred to, the Hon. George C. Pardee. (Tremendous cheering.) Dr. Pardee looked tired and worn from his campaigning in the south, but he for- got his fatigue at the splendid reception tendered him. He was cheered tremend- ously. His reception, like that accorded Governor Gage, was a generous one. Dr. Pardee bowed and smiled his acknowl- edgments to the enthusiastic audience. ‘When the applause and cheering had sub- sided the Republican standard-bearer spoke as follows: DR. PARDEE IS SURE OF A BIG MAJORITY IN THE SOUTHLAND Ladles and Gentlemen: Permit me to thank here publicly this evening the Governor of the State, my friend, Henry T. Gage, for the kind words_he has spoken. And I wish to tell you that 1 have to-day—even this evening—re- turned from the southland, the home of the Governor, and I found there on all sides the evidence ‘of his devotion to the party and his friendship to me, who have the honor to be the standard bearer in this campalgn. And I bring you, people of San Francisco and the northland, renewed assurances of the stalwartism of the south and assurances from the voters that they will give their old time majority, even in- creased, for the Republican ticket in the com- ing campalign. (Applause.) It remains only for the north to do its duty for the ticket, and as evidenced by this meet- ing here to-night, the south should have no fear for the result north of Tehachipa, and I bring you assurance of the complete ‘success from the southland, the home of the Governor. (Apylause.) I bave been working hard with volce and hand during the last ten days and I am weary and worn out, but I am glad to appear here Introduces the Chief Executive of State g % this evening before the people of my native city and teil them that I have had great suc- cess in the south and that I am here to-night to bid them godspeed for the whole ticket. (Applauge.) The people of the south say to me they are following _ Abraham Lincoln's (applause) well- known advice. They are not going to swap horses in the middle of the stream of pros- perity and they are not golng to trade off & tried and ripened steed for the worn-out Demo- cratic hack that will land them, as it did elght years ago, in the middle of the stream of distress, opuressicn and hard times. They tell me they are coming from Tehachapl with 15,000 majority for the ticket. (Applause.) And down south they asked me what San Franclsco was golng to do, and I told them that- San Francisco would do as well by the ticket as it ever had done and that was well enough. I told them that San Francisco would not be behind in the race and that When the ballots were counted on the 4th day of Novem- ber San Francisco would give a majority .for the whole ticket. (Applause.) Now, as I told you, I am weary and worn out. My voice has been raised something Iika twenty times “X the last eight or nine days, and ‘while at times it has been a good strong voice, and I hope it always will be for the success of the Republican ticket, to-night it will not-give me the service T would lke. I coni» back filled with renewed hope and pledge mnrelf again for the success. of the ticket aiso for the success of those people Who are dependent upon the success of the Re- publican party for the prosperity we have en- Joyed during the last six years. I refer par- ticularly to the working people, (Applause.) The people who but a short six years ago were walking the streets for the work they ecould not find, leaving behind them in the morning when the went in quest of work unhappy homes, unhappy wives and smileless children. I refer partioularly to them, and I only hope I may follow in the footsteps of Governor Gage and do as much as Le did. (Applause,) They Were particularly pleased down in the gouthland ‘at the record for cconomy made by Goyernor Gage and, if it be possible, I shall endeavor to 'do as ?uch for this State as has my good friend the Governor. And now, la- Continued on Page 30, Column 6. Throughout he was interrupted by ap- plause. He spoke.fervently and well and he drove home truths that had the de- sired effect on his Republican and Demo- cratic listeners. In part he spoke as fol- lows: Fellow = Citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen: Truly this is a genuine Republican gathering. In its magnitude it is typical of the country it governs, and this country’s grandeur and pos- sibllities can be no better described than in the language of that noted divine, Josiah Strong. Take five of the six first class powers of Eu- rope—Great Britain and Ireland, France, Ger- many, Austria and Italy—then add Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark and Greece. Let some greater than Napoleon weld them into one mighty empire and you could lay it all down in the United States west of the Hudson River once, and again, and again, three times.

These facts and figures to the ordinary mind are astounding, and no one could contemplate the vastness of our wonderful resources with- out a careful and diligent study of the author from whom I have just quoted. And, fellow citizens, when we think of the grandeur .of this Government, its food possibilitles, it would not be amiss to recall a few facts of history and present them for the consideration of the Republicans of this as well as the Democrats who are now engaged in 3 warfare against our institutions. It_the Democratic party had been successful 1n18€0 in their doctrine that this was not 2 na- tion, but that we were held together by a ropeof sand, this grand country with its poesibilities that T have just laid before you would have been divided in twain and that flag that you seo waving so proudly mow in the four quarters of the globe would not have beem the ensign of liberty and patriotism and pro- gressive Americanism that it to-day fs.

Our party was founded upon the idea that this was & nation and not a cénfederation of States, and in the earlier days of the Republican party the men who fought for those principles surely must bave seen their way throush the vista of the future of the great possibilities of this nation, with the natural resources I have just described. The lssue of this campalgn—I will not say an issue, but one of the leading features of the opposition, is to array what is known as the Labor party against the Republican party and its nominees.
