Barham made a happy speech in accept- ing the honor. He then introduced Con- gressman Frank L. Coombs, vecelved with cheers. Coombs delivered an eloquent address. He compared the condition of this coun- try under the Wilson-Gorman act with that under the present Dingley law. He told of the hard times the Democratic leaders had in chposing an issue for this campaign and said that at last they had taken up that old, worn out issue, the tariff. The labor and the trust questions were logically handled by the speaker. Congressman Charles E. Littlefield of Matne was then introduced and delivered one of the best addresses ever heard by & Santa Rosa audience. He asked if any one could tell of one prophecy which Bryan had made four years ago that has proved true, and declared that the Repub- liean party’s promises were kept in every who was Town, and Needham Talks to Sanger Voters. | BT e e U ADERA, Oct. 14.—The greatest political demonstration ever held in this county will occur here on Thursday night In . honor of Congressman Need- ham, who will be accompanied by James 1.

AMPLE PREPARATION BY REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE FOR LITTLEFIELD MASS-MEETING AT PAVILION TO-NIGHT Cheering News From Humboldt and Szacramento—Assurances Come ‘o Party Headquar— ters That Wage-E-rners Are Getting Into Line for Pardee. ON. C. E. LITTLEFIELD of Maine will spedk at the Mechan- ics’ Pavilion this evening. The seats in the vast hall will be ar- ranged as they were placed on the occasion of Senator Beveridge's meet- ing. The distinguished statesman from Maine will be introduced to the audience by one of California’s gost eminent and eloguent ora Samuel M. Shortridge. As a Republican leader and a campaign speaker Congressman Littlefield stands in the first rank, and voters, irrespective of party affliation, should assemble at the pavilion to hear him. Republican meetings are always interesting and the one an- nounced for this evening at the pavilion promises to be unusually attractive and instructive. It will be enlivened by Sam Booth's singers. The Bepublican State Committee is be- ginning 1o receive encouraging reports from Sacramento. The voters of the par- ty are swinging into line and giving out the word that the county will be found in the Republican column on the 4th of next November. CITY ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS. The San Francisco work of the State Committee is becoming effective. The workingmen who have b:en considering the policies and principles of the two lead- ing candidates for Governor of California are beginning to speak out for Pardee, who has been tested and found true. The real facts regarding Dr. Pardee’'s official conduc: as Mayor of Oakland during the A. R U. strike have been placed before the labor unions. In this respect the Re- publican nomince for Governor was sub- ors, jected to misrepresentation early in the campaign by irresponsible speakers of the Democratic party. Numerous requests are coming in for district Pardee meetings and all such suggestions receive the immediate atten- tion of the §tate Committee. To-mcrrow evening a Pardee Central Club will be organized at B'nal B'rith Hall. At the re- quest of many residents of Stockton the Republican State Committee announces tnat Samuel M. Shortridge will speak to the people of that city next Saturday cvening, HUMBOLDT COUNTY. Among the callers at party headquar- ters yesterday was A. J. Monroe, a well known lawyer and active Republican icader in Humboldt County. All accounts agree that Humboldt's prosperity is phenomenal. The banks are full of money and the Eureka harbor is . alive with ships. There is employment * at good wages for all men who want to work. It | is predicted by those who have closely studied the poiitical situation in Northern California that Humboldt County will give Pardee 1500 majority. The State Committee observes with spe- cial delight that Senator Smith of Kern, who was an active aspirant for the Con- gressional nomination in the Eighth Dis- trict, {s making a vigorous and able cam- vaign in behalf of Captain Danlels, the nominee. Senator Selvage of Humboldt, who was J. N. Gillette's rival for the Congressional nomination in the First District, is heart and soul for the nom- inee. . E. B. Edson of Siskiyou is in the eity. He is a stalwart Republican who standa by the ticket of his party. Among Dr. Pardee's supporters in Northern Califor- nia_there is no one who surpasses Edson in loyalty. " LABOR NOMINEES SPEAK.

Unicn Labor party meetings were held at Garibaldl Hall, 428 Broadway, and at Bruse's Hall, corner of Leavenworth and Pacific streets, last night.

GHTHERING *OF MNAOCR' REPUBLIGANS Pardee’s Appearance the Signal for Cheering. Hall Much Too Small to Accommodate the Crowd. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. ACKSON, Oct. 14.—Local Republi- cans are proud of the reception glven George C. Pardee in Jack- son to-night. The nominee for Governor was accompanied from Calaveras County by Willlam C. Ralston, Alexander Brown and D. E. McKinlay and was escorted by a committee from the lo- cal Republican club. The gubernatorial candidate was impressed by the fact that in Calaveras and Amador counties he had got into a Pardee strip of country. Early in the evening large delegations came in from Ione, Sutter Creek, Plymouth and other towns until more visitors were here than could hope to obtain standing room in the hall. The Plymouth Club was ac- companied by the home band. The boom- ing of cannon brought the entire popu- lation of the town out on Main street. A torchlight procession paraded the prin- cipal streets and the carriage containing Dr. Pardee was cheered all along the line. The meeting in Love Hall was called to order by Dr. C. A. Herrick, chairman of the Redublican County Committee, who introduced Senator John F. Davis as chairman. Alexander Brown, nominee for the State Board of Equalization, was the first speaker. . He referred’to his record and to the splendid vote he received in Amador and asked that, if the record were satisfactory, he be accorded the same support on November 4. The introduction of Dr. Pardee was thé signal for wild cheering, in which even the ladies joined, Nothing like the en- thusiasm of to-night was ever known here before. After thanking the audience for its splendid reception, Pardee said he was but a plain, ordinary Californian, who thought he had in him the qualifica- tions for a respectable Governor of his native State; that he stood squarely on the platform of his party and had faith that the people were not going to turn their backs on the party that had glven them their present great prosperity; that because of the application of good, sound Republican sense to the business of the country every man who wanted employ- ment was at work, getting good wagest and that such was not the condition un- der Democratic administrations. Pardee was frequently applauded. D. E. McKinlay and W. C. Ralston also spoke. e L PARDEE IN SAN ANDREAS. Finds Many Old Acquaintances in the Mountain Town. SAN ANDREAS, Oct. 14.—George C.

The San Andreas band greeted the visit- ors in front of Metropolitan Hall, where an impromptu reception was given by Dr. Pardee.

Many of the residents were old acquaintances of Dr. Pardee., and their welcome was cordial in the ex- treme, The people insisted upon a speech and the candidate responded with’a short address that was enthusiastically re- ceived. His declaration that if elected he would be Governor himself, and that he owed allegiance to no ciique or faction, called forth hearty applause. Dr. Pardec was followed by Duncan McKinlay.

The agent says this danger i5 the result of the Congressional opening of their lands to mineral location and entry after the Indians receive allotments of land in severalty. Owing to the way ia which the various provisions of the bill ‘were passed and approved the reservation was actually open to mineral lccation and entry for a short time last May during which vested rights in a large group of mineral claimg were acquired and a de- termined effort has been made to wrest the lands from the Indians. WEDMNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1902. : CONGRESSMAN LOUD SAYS LIVERNASH TRIED TO MAKE POLITICAL CAPITAL OUT OF CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT Denies That He Treated the Commission Sent From This City to Nation’s Capital in a Discourteous Manner. -+ T small to accommodate the people who attended. J. H. Hutaff was chairman. lerton C. Allen discussed the issues of be campaign. Hamilton A. Bauer, can- didate for State Senator; Thomas F. Dunne, candidate for Justice of the Peace, and R. B. McClellan, who is a candidate for Superior Judge, were introduced and Gelivered short speeches. Congressman Loud's reception showed that the voters of Sunset District favor his candidacy. He did not mince mat- ters in his speech. He took occasion to reply to the insinuation made by E. J. Livernash In a recent speech that Mr. Loud’s treatment of him while in Wash- ington as a member of the Chinese Com- mission was not to his liking. In the course of his reply Mr. Loud said: trying hard to make an is- sie out o e” Chinese qucstion 1n_ this cam- paign, but I really do tot see how it can suc- ceed. 1 believe that the Chinese legislation which bas been on the statute books for ten years has been acceptable to the people of the State of California. What we want is to stop the immigration of the Chinese into this coun- try, and all you have to do is to Investigate the situation here in the city of San Francisco and it will be ascertained that the legislation effective up to last May has substantialiy cut in two the Chinese population of the Pacific Coast. The Chinese laborer is no longer ag- gressive. He does not come in strict compe- tition with our white labor to such an extent as to harm it KNOWS THEIR HABITS. At a convention held here about a year ago three or four representatives designated a “eommigsion’’ were chosen to g0 to Washington in the interest of Chinese legislation. 1 be- Ileve that the desire of the people at that time in doing this was to secure a re-enact- ment of the law which had been in force dur- ing the last ten years and was about to ex- pire. This law had been fested in the courts, the weaker portions of it had been eliminated or strengthened, and the law was well ground- ©ed end being enforced. I saw this commission Come to Washington, and 1 have seen other commissions come there before, and I know their habits and general methods of action. It may seem a harsh thing to say, but I believe, and I think the delegation from the Pacific INDORSES JULIUS KAHN. The Municipal Non-Partisan convention. met last night in B’nai B'rith Hall amid much tumult for the purpose of nominat- ing and indorsing candidates for various offices. The candidacy of Julius Kahn for Congress from the Fourth District was inrdorsed. W. H. Alford was indors- ed for member of the Board of Equaliza- tion and Samhel Braunhart for Raflroad Commissioner. 'There was considerable discussion as to whether the convention had the power to nominate candidates for State Senators and Assemblymen, it being a municipal gathering, and It was decided to ratify candidates. The candidates indorsed for State Senator were: Eighteenth Senatorial District, John A. Hoey; Twentieth Senatorial District, William A. Du- bols; Twenty-second Senatorial District, Ham- ilton Bauer; Twenty-fourth = Senatorial Dis- trict, George H. Willlams. Assemblymen—Twenty-eighth District, Twénty-ninth, Thomas F. eth, Abner McMahon; Thirty-first, — irty-second, J. N. Capus; Thirty-third, L.

This commission that used the capital as its base during the whole of the last session of Congress was, in my opinion, a semi-political body. The members never seemed to be satis- fied' with any progress made, approving one thing one day and disproving it the next. They talked, threatened and cajoled the Pacific Coast representatives, week in and week out, and month in and month out, until we closely ap- proached the day in May when the Geary law would expire. At that time it became neces- sary to act hastily and we had a concentrated opposition to fight that had not existed at the Deginning of the session. It may be that the bill that w passed is defective In some re- spects, but c can thank the Lord that any measure became a law, considering the ag- gravations placed in the paths of the California members of Congress and Senators. I believe, and my beilef §s based upon my observation at Washington, that Livernash hoped the Repub- lican party would not pass any Chinese legis- lation st this session, in order that he might obtain a temporary advantage given him by :he_ fallure to further certain political ambi- lons. COMMITTEE WAS BUSY. He has stated that he came to my commit- i tee-room and could mot gain admission. I want to say here that at the beginning of the last session of Congress a committee Was formed of all the Pacific Coast Representatives in Con- gress, together with Representatives from con- tiguous States, for the purpose of considerin in a body the question of Chinese exclusion. was made chalrman of that committee and all deliberations were heid in my committee-room. 1t the gentleman could not gain admission at will, or found at times the door was closed to all comers, he might havé reasoned out the fact that perhaps the committee when In execu- tive session did not desire the presence of him- self or others, unless called upon. Under ali other circumstances the gentleman was wel- come, and he occupled the committee-room so much that the committee itself suggested to me that they would like themselves to once in a while deliberate alone. 1 would like to inquire why the gentleman did not go to the room of ths Committee on Foreign Affairs, where this legislation was being considered and where he long a time that they surely must have be- come rather sick of It. 1 say again, thoush it may sound somewhat harsh, that in my opinion the gentleman referred to did not wish to see any Chinese legisiation enacted by a_Republican Con; for reasons that are now apparent to all.

The San Francisco Produce Peddlers' Union held a meeting last night at the San Francisco Athletic Club for the pur- pose of discussing the proposition of es- tablishing a free market for the benefit of all peddlers belonging to the union. A rough outline of the proposed work was gone over. The matter will be taken up agaln as soon as the election is over. ‘The gathering was then turned into a sort-of a political rally. - The peddlers pledged themselves to the Republican party and will do their best to elect Dr. Pardee and the entire ticket. E. J. Lang, the chairman of the even- ing, introduced Judge Carroll Cook, who was loudly cheered. Judge Cook said it was his desire to avold discussing poli- ltl!cls lsh far as possible, and simply tg so- cit the votes of the communit; vt ¥ on his Congressman Julius Kahn was also present. He made a short speech and gave a few good reasons why he expects the vote of the laboring man. Kahn re- ceived an ovation and was pro; sug::lrt of the union.

HE members of the Pardee Club of the Thirtieth District held an old- time rally at 103 Seventh street last night. The hall was packed to the doors and a bonfire and brass band added to the general enthus fasm. The Thirtieth District has always been an acknowledged Democratic stronghold, hut the way the voters attended last night's ratification dispelled all doubt that existed in the minds of the leaders about a Republican victory at the coming elec- tion. Men of all classes gathered to cheer the speakers and to do their best for the club’s success. Organized labor was out in force and lent an appreciative ear to the able orators who treated the issues of the day in a straightforward and con- viceing manner. Edward M. Ritter was Introduced as the first speaker of the evening. Ritter gave his hearers a plain, commonssense talk on the great aims of the Republican party. He impressed the assemblage in a most favorable manner and was loudly cheeréd. At the conclusion of Ritter's speech, a march was struck up by the band to her- ald the approach of Julius Kahn. He was | cheered time and again as he took the platfcrm. Congressman Kahn spoke at length on the prosperity which the country is en- joying under Republican rule. He urged the voters to stand by the old party at the coming election. T. W. Roberts, a labor leader of Oak- land, delivered a stirring speech in favor of Dr. Pardee. Roberts appealed to the | union men to support the Republican can- didate and palinly showed them that Pardee had always been,their friend in al! matters which involved the labor question. Roberts received a tremendous round of | @pplause when he finished speaking. ;Judge John Hunt, Myron Wolf, Charles Sipear and R. B. McClellan also delivered brief addresses on campaign issues and the men whom the Republican party had selected to represent it. “All the speakers were loudly cheered, — —_— SENATOR SHORTRIDGE RAILS AT HIS ENEMIES The Campaigner’s Vaudeville Show Blocks Traffic on a San Jose Street. SAN JOSE, Oct. 14—Senator Charles M. Shortridge gave another of his politi- cal shows on Santa Clara street near First to-night. His colored quartet and plano attracted a crowd of about 1500 bersons who almost blocked the street and stoed for two hours listening to the Senator. From beginning to the end he d_eall with his political enemies. As usual E. A. and J. O. Hayes were the objects of attack. He declared the former wanted to be United States Senator and that Hayes and his friends had ap- proached C. P. Berry of Mountain View to get Berry's support in case he were elected State Senator. E.
