SUPREME JISTIES T THE PETTIN UNDER ADVSEMENT Congtitutionality of the Ballot Law | Is Attacked- by Counsel for State Democracy, F L IR RGUMENT was heard yesterday .af- ternoon by theé Supreme Court on the pefition” of Bafney D.

There being no way to apportion the vote of a cancidate between the various parties naming him, the party without votes of its wn by this means gained the right to 3o on bal- lot at the pext eiection. In that way ”Iu’ bellot was expanded until it became cum- | bersome, a source of inconvenience to the voter and of expense and trouble to the State. lde explained that the section compelling_the printing in of the words “no nomination” in case of the party not ed to have a candidate’s name there was meant to facilitate counting by keeping the names of candidates for a particular office in line horizontally. Ca- tor suggested that since Livernash re- fused, to eiect to place his name solely nation of the Democratic party remedy would be to nominate some one who would. William Bosley’s argument ignored the Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin dccisions, end was based on the decision in Eaton vs. Brown and Britton vs. Board of Elec- tion Commissioners. He said the statute in question trespassed against the rights of the party, the candidate and the voter. Merced Democratic Rally. MERCED, Oct. 8—The Democratic campaign in this city opened to-night with a large meeting, which was address- ed by William A. Gett of Sacramento, nominee for Attorney General, and W. M. Gibson of San Francisco. The first speaker touched briefly on State issues.

Fith DiMnminse Lauds' the Party's Successes, Prusperm Nation - Attends Republican —_— Epecial Dispatch to The Call. ALO ALTO, Oct. 8—An immense crowd of voters gathered at Nor- tree Hall to-night to give an en- thusiastic welcome to Congress- man Eugene F. Loud, who was ac- companied on his visit to this city by Hon. Sam D. Woods, member of Congress from. the “Second District. The Stanford -University band started the proceedings of ‘the evening and the rally was kept on the move until all the speeches were - finished. Professor San- ford introduced Mr. Loud, who spoke, in part, as follows, béing frequently inter- fupted by hearty applause: Mr. Chairman,, Ladies and Gentlemen: In this campaign 1 stand fn a pecular position; not personally, but 4s a Republican. Ko far, it has not been definitely decided that any one is running against ' me. The -nomination has been tendered to a_gentleman by- two parties, but under the law I have no_opposition for the office of Congressman in the Fifth Congres- siongl District. In explanation I-will say that the law of the State expressly provides that no mag’'s name shall appear upon a ticket but oncé, therefore the present nominee of the. two parties as stated must have his name placed upon the ticket as an independent candidate by petition, -unless the reading of thé-law or the Interpretation of it is changed. The, Democratic party as & controlling factor in ouf nation has been In existence longer than your memory or mine reaches. ‘It has bpen & grand old ‘party, full of fight, a Worthy foe and with & great history. Yet to-day in the Fourth and Fifth Congréssional districts of California that party has failed to place a candidate for Cangress in-the field, DECLINE OF DEMOCRACY. If elected to Congress again I shall do as I have done in the past, my duty as I see it, Voting with the Republican party and sustain- ing its principles. *. No man cam fn reason prom- ise more than this.. I can say honestly that I regret the passing of the Democratic party In the Fifth Congreesfonal District. * I have many warm personal friends who are Democrats, men whom 1 admire and men who belong to the old and stanch school of Democracy. Many .of efforts I, have - applauded. But the Democratic party of to-day finds that in order to gain a Congressman in the Fifth Congres- sional District it' must surrender what princi- ples it has end take a chance of winning through the nominee of another party entirely erent from its purpose and personnel. ‘here has arisen in San Francisco a party known as the Union Labor. A year ago, by & combination of circumstances, this party got the credit of electing a Mayor of San Fran- clgco and some other officers of the municipal- ity. This party claims to be on the crest of a of success, and the Democratic party, or the remnant of it left in this State, has gone to the length of indorsing the candidates for Congress numed by the Labor party In two of our: Congressional districts. What has given rise to the necessity for the organjzation and ‘promotion of a Union Labor party if pational politics I cannot say. The history of all countries dominated in any way by the suffrage of the people demonstrates that in ngtional there can be but two great parties. 1do not have to show the slightest proof to make it plain to every one that only when the Republican party has been in power has there been any opportunity for the laboring man to better himself. The organization of labor, the same as the organization of capital, comes and produces successful results only when the financial condition of the country can stand it. Organization for the purpose of bettering one's financial condition during times of pani¢ or distress is seldom resorted to, and it can be truthfully sald that labor organiza- tions can only hope to barely hold together during these times, it being-a great task even to do that, let alone the extension of the plan.

A good meny ilmes:tHs Democracy has se- cured control af the natkm by wonderful prom- ises and afterward 4ost it ‘through the lack of power to fulljl them. sIn 1892 the Democrats really wanfed 1o pass a tariff bill greatly weak- our: protect{ve system.

Even that puralyzed the industries of the sountry. at & fuil change in the protect might do we can only guess. . Tpe party in the 1 ve system The Republican four vears has done wonders in administrative work for the betterme nt o the nation. The Democrats clamored " for war, finally got it and then when called upon to propertly legislate for fts execution and to rightfully take care of the questions out of it they turned their backs and r:ng:mfi Do further assistance. In spite of the fact that this war wes tremendousiy expensive, costiag in the agkregate more than a billlon dollars, the administration has reduced the pubiic debi nearly $400,000,000.

In the last two or three vears discoveries of oll for | fuel use have been made in California and the supply is so great that fuel is now as cheap in this State as in the East. We are upon the threshold of great manufactring activity. Let me remind you that the great industries of Pennsylvania and other Eastern States began full a hundred years ago, and it has taken this time to bring them up to their present high state of efficlency. This State cannot ar. ford to lose any opportunity of allying itself with the progressive forces of the nation in pushing its new industry. Everything needs protection against the imbortations from e rope, which will necessarily be brought much closer to us upow the opening of the isthmian canal. The future policy of this country is of more importance to the State of California than any other State in the Union. The eycs of the financial world are upon the Pa. cific Ocean, and I believe the harbor of San Francisco will be the gateway of the greatest commerce yet known to our Jand. Now, let me ask you before closing to solidly vote fob the State Republican ticket. The policy of the Republican party is and always hax been best for this State, and the candidate for Govormer upon that ticket should certalnly be elected. Members of both brarches of our national leg- islature, the Senate and.House of Represent tives, and the President also, are looking to- ward the Paclic Coast. With our national Gov- ernment Republican in its policy, the State, 4¢' in sympathy with it, will readily and eattly Eet what it s entitled to and what It wants, If the reverse is true, that i, if we have a Democgatic Gavernor, not in sympathy and op- pog‘ng’ te national administration, the State sufters. 1t would be & severe blow to our party, it would be a bad object lesson, indeed, to al- THE SELMA CHEERS FOR NEEDHAM' AND. PARDEE 3 - ELMA, Oct. 8.—There was a great outpouring of Republicans , to-night to sive welcome to Representative James C. Needham. Fireworks: and music added to the enthusiasm and the hall where the meeting was held was crowded to overflowing. Mention of Par- dee was loudly cheered. Needham spoke oh the national issues, urging'the need -of protection for the producers of Califor- nia. His remarks made a strong impres- sion, which was evidenced by the ap- plause that greeted his telling points. @ deisieivieietedildeimieiilede - @ GILLETTE TALKS TO IONE VOTERS < e | < ONE, Oct. 8.—Cannon, fireworks and a brass band welcomed Hon.

He predicted the greatest Re- publican victory in Novémber ever known in this State, citing as reasons:the gen- eral prosperity of tlie country and the content prevailing in all branches of busi- ness and industries. He was listened to attentively and frequently applauded. A reception at the hotel followed. TN SHOBTBI;)GE A_l‘_EUREKA. Largest Hall in Humboldt County Fails to Contain the Crowd. EUREKA, Oct. 8—The Pavilion, the largest hall in the county, was not large enough to hold the voters anxious to hear Samuel M. Shortridge talk on the cam- paign issues. C. H. Connick, secretary of the Républican County Central Commit- tee, acted as chairman. Sixty young Re- publicans were the vice presidents. Ex- cursion trains were run from the northern énd of the county to enable the residents to hear the distinguished orator, his lim- ited time making it impossible for him to visit the towns north of Eureka. In speaking .of the Democratic platform Shortridge said:” I do not quarrel with the rank and file of the Democratic party, but with the leaders of that once great organization. They create nothing; they bufld nothing; they offer no remedy for evile. On)the contrary, they criticise, hawk at and calumniate; they tear down and destroy; they thirst and hunger for office, apd, when in office, plunge the Government and the people into bankruptcy and ruin. These leaders prate of their love for labor and when labor fe idle and hungry and, cries for bread they throw it & stone. —_— SHAW THEIR GUEST. Secretary of the Treasury Talks to Massachusetts Republicans. BOSTON, Oct. 8.—More than ordinary interest was attached to the annual din- ner of the Republican Club of Massachu- setts at Symphony Hall to-night from the fact that the club had for its guest Leslie M. Shaw, the Secretary of the Treasury, whose recent measures as thé head of the Treasury Department have given him such a conspicuous position before the people. Beven hundred people occupied seats at the dining tables, and the two large balconies were filled with specta- tors, the majority of whom were women. The speakers included, besides Shaw, Murray Crane, Lieutenant-Governor John ‘L, Bayne and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. ‘When Shaw was introduced as the man who had met problems in such a way as to receive the praise of the people he was given a magnificent reception. R e o T ] pon a Republican “candidate and support him, 1 hope to see Santa Clara County roll up its old-time Republican majority.” I believe that the people of this county are satisfled with the existing conditions, and I believe that vn the 4th of next November you will again honor the party that has done so much for you. : At the conclusion of Loud's speech, ‘Woods spoke in brief on the present situ- ation in Santa Clara County, warmly praising Loud's work for the district. « To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Prominent Republicans of the city have signified readiness to con- tribute money to properly equip the marching column with uniforms and torches. The meeting to-night will be ad- dressed by Julius Kahn. At a meeting of Division No. 205, Amal- gamated ‘Assoclation of Street Railway Employes of America, Tuesday night at the Turk-street Temple the following res- olutions were ‘adopte: ‘Whereas, It has’ been brought to our notice that Samuel Braunhart has made use of a reso- lution passed by this assoclation thanking him for favors doné as a ‘member of’ the Board of Supervisors of the-city and county of San Francisco, purporting to be an indorsement of the sald Samuel’ Braunhart's candldacy for Rallroad Commissioner; and, ‘Whereas, The said Samuel Braunhart has no authority from ' the association to use said resolutioy for any such purpose: therefore be it Resolved, That we, in meeting assembled, this 7th day of 'October, 1002, emphatically denounce what' in our opinion is an unwar- ranted use of the official letter head and the signature of our president and secretary by the said Samuel “Braunhart -for politicai use; and be it further : Resolved, That these’ resolutions ‘be spread upon our minutes and a copy of the same fur- nished the daily press for publication.

The Registrar’s office will be epen.for this purpose from 8:30 a. m. to 5 p. m. and 7:30 to 10 p. m. 4 The Republican State Committee con- tinues to receive encouraging reports from nearly all of the countles of the State. Sacramento County- is the one exception. The reports from the capital do not give assurance of Republican unity and enthu- slasm. Various explaniations are given to account for the reported apathy. It is generally remarked that Sacramento was not recognizeéd in the.make-up of the Re- publican State ticket. It i further re- marked that the attaches of the State printing office are disgruntled because A. J. Johneton, who has held the office of State Printer for eleven years, was not renominated for another term. Reports from Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside counties represent that Pardee's majority south of Tehachapi will exceed 12,000. En- couraging message$ come from San Joa- quin, Solano, Napa, Scnoma, Humboldt, Tehama, Yuba, Butte, Sutter and Placer counties. In San Francisco the Demo- cratic leaders have failed in all their schemes to entrap the Union Labor party into quasl indorsements of Lane's candi- dacy. Among the callers at Republican. head- quarters yesterday was Alden Anderson, the party’s nominee for Lieutenant Gov- ernor. He reports that Solano County will give the usual majority for the Re- publican ticket. 2 ‘Word comes from Alameda County that William R. Davis, one of the most elo- quent and’ persuasive of campalgn speak- ers, will soon be on the platform advo- cating the electlon of Dr. Pardee and the entire Republican ticket. Next week Victor H. Metealf will be- gin an active canvass of the Third Con- gressional District. There s not the slightest doubt that Metcalf will be ré- elected to Congress by an increased ma- jority. It is likely that alden Anderson will accompany the Congressman on a tour of the banner Republican district. Major Andrew G. Myers, Republican nominee for State Board of Equalization, Third District, leaves San Francisco for Ukiah to-day. In due time he will visit Humboldt County. Major Myers simply asks Republicans of the district to vote their party ticket from top to bottom. If Republicans resolve to stand firm Dick Beamer’'s career as an Equalizer will come to an end next Janudary. Major Myers is commended’ for the activity of his. canvass. Citizens of the Thirty-sixth Assembly District met last night at Harmony Hall, 1749 Misslon street, and organized a Par- dee Club. The following officers were elected: M. F. Howe, president: J. A.

McKinlay arrived here at 12:45 o'clock this morning tion committee composed of Superior Judge John F. Ellison, Dr. G. W. West- lake, Assemblyman Heérbert 8. Gang and | D. D. Dodson. The party went to Corn- ing at noon to-day, where a highly intell- ligent and attentive audience listened to the speeches. Dr. Pardee shook hands with hundreds- of citizens before going and at Corning every man whom he met became his friend. The party returned at 5 o'clock this afternoon and to-night Dr. Pardee‘was welcomed by a magnifi- cent audience, the Pavilion Opera-house being crowded to’the doors. The meeting was called to order by Hon. H. 8. Gans, who said that it was the greatest pleasure of his public career to introduce California’s next Governor. After the applause had subsided Dr, Par- dee “said that he appeared.as a plain, | every day citizen who had been nominated for Governor of his native State. Sald he: I am for every Californian and I have looked forward to the upbuildipg and uplifting of | every class in our State. I attended the pub- lic school and my children sit on the same benches as those of the laboring man, and those who say I am an aristocrat say that which is untrue. The most important issue in this campaign 1s the continued progress and prosperity of the whole people of this State. We have before us a future that will daszle the most enthusiastic | and the next decade will see Califcrnia become | a great manufacturing center, giving employ- ment to- thousands where there are now ome. | To do all this will require foreign markets | where Dewey planted the stars and stripes and | the continued policy of protection put into force by the Republican party. | SOUPHOUSES AND ADVERSITY. Pardee referred to the prevalence of souphouses and destitution under Demo- cratic rule in 1883 and 1884, and now all that had disappeared under the return | of Republican rule. He continued: Our Democratic friends say that there is no politics in’ this election and that there is no connection between this election and the elec- tion two years hence, when ““Teddy’’ Roose- veit will be reselected President of the United | States. There is politics in it and it means | that if our people turn their backs upon the party of prosperity it will be heralded as a vietory ‘against the national policy of the Re- | publican party. I stand squarely on.the platform adopted at Sacramento, squarely for the protection of American industries and American labor. The Democrats have nominated Congressmen, Sena- tors and Assemblymen, and their success means a victory for the opposition to protection and the election of Democratic Senators to | succeed Senators Perkins and Bard. ‘The women remember when their husbands | and brothers had no work and the cupboard | was empty. They will see to it that their hus- | bands do mot vote for a return of those times. When I was nominated at Sacramento I | made but two promises. One was to stand | I upon the platform of my party and the other | was that, if elected, I would give to the peopls as good an adminisiration as was in my power to give them; and when I am elected Governor | I will be Governor myself and will represent all classes and all industries. 1 WILL LIVE IN SACRAMENTO. Dr. Pardee closed amid great applause by saying that, when he moved to Sacra- mento, his children would attend the public schools of this great State which bhad always been his residence and In which he expected to live all his life. Chairman Gans introduced Duncan E. McKinlay, who paid his respects to the Democratic platform and showed that many of the things demanded in it, par- | ticularly the Chinese exclusion law and the -isthmian canal, -already had been granted by a Republican Congress under | the direction of a Republican President. McKinlay paid a high compliment to the ability, integrity and statesmanship of Hon. J. N. Gillette of Eureka, and | urged the people of the First Congres- sional District to send him to Congress. PA E LANE MAKES TWO SPEECES T0 BUTTE COUNTY ATHERINGS Democratic Nominge and His Fellow Campaigners Speak o Oroville and Chicos —_—— > Special Dispatch to The Cal. HICO, Oet. 8.—Franklin K. Lane, Democratic nominee for Governor, accompanied by Isadore Dockwefler of Los Angeles, A. J. Rosborough of Oakland, J. V.. Coleman of San Francisco and W. A. Beard of Oak- land, addressed the peaple of - Chico to-night on the political issues of the day. The party came from Oroville by team and were met at Butte Creek, six miles | from Chico, by a delegation of the Chico Democratic Club. The public meeting was held at 8 o’clock in front of ‘the City Hall, Judge Lon Bond of Chico acting as chafr- man. Franklin K. Lane spoke thankfully of his warm reception in Chico and then gave the old town a good word, referring to the many prominent persons who at one time or another had lived here and the fame given to the city in consequence. He thanked the ladies for turning out in such numbers and acknowledged the pres- ence of the many young men in the audi- ence. He went on to say that if Califor- nia were to come into her own, into the glorious future awaiting her, it would be through her young men living up to the | high ideals of youth. He urged them to be true to such purposes and mot hecome in- different as they grew older. ‘W. A. Beard of Oroville, candidate for Assemblyman, was the last speaker and the meeting closed with three cheers for all of the nominees. In the afternoon Lane addressed a meet- ing in Oroville, previous to his departure for Chico. His party was accompanied by Samuel Butler, the latter president pof the Miners’ Union of Grass Valley. The party was met in Marysville by ex-Sena- tor A. F. Jones, and at Biggs H. D. Lau- sen of the Democratic County Central | Committee was in waiting with a three- seated four-in-hand. In this vehicle, after a short meeting in Biggs, they were con- veyed to Oroville. A short stop was made in Thermalito, at the Odd Fellows’ Home, where addresses were made, and also at the County Infirmary, a short distance from the home. A large delegation of local Democrats met the visitors at Thermalito and their entry into Oroville was heralded by the booming of anvils. Jo D. Sproul, former nominee for Congress, presided at the Oroville meeting. Lane was received with enthusiasm. He was in fair voice and his short address was earnest and impressive. He spoke of the good that might be accomplished within the State and said that if he were elected he would use his whole efforts te upbuild California. “¢«Here; I'm~still’ wanting -more/”—Oliver.
