Dr. Crompton presided. Besides Bell, the speakers were Emmett Haydon, nominee for Assembl. and Hugh J. Mclsaac, nominee for S perior Judge In beginning his speech, Bell said he realized that he was in a community that was heavily Republican, but he hed re- ceived such a friendly reception thus far during his campaign in Marin County that he had reason to believe he would lose nothing at the hands of the voters on November 4 Bell expressed the belief that the pres- ent Prosp of the country was due {0 Providence, the Republican party fall- ing heir to the credit for the reason that the prosperity happened along during a Republican administratich.

There was a great outpouring of voters to greet Charles E. Littlefield, -the distingulshed Congressman ~ from Maine, Congressman Littlefield delivered a forci- ble address and convinced his auditors that to the Republican party is due the credit for the good limes that now pre- vail in this country. He contrasted the present conditions with those that exist- ed in 1893, when the Democrats were in power. He spoke for more than an hour and 2 half, and throughout his brifllant address he was accorded the closest at- tention. He marshaled his facts in a Icgical manner and presented them clear- Iy and concisely. Littlefield i not a spread-eagle orator. He does not deal in metaphors nor does he raise his au- dience to heights and bring them back to earth again with a commonplace state- ment. He possesses a penetrating volce, which could be heard all over the pa- wilion. He spoke interestingly and well, and when he concluded Jwvas cheered for liis great efforts in behalf of the party which he so ably represents. Fully five thousand people crowded the pavilion to listen to the distinguished visitor from the East. They occupicd seats on the main floor and stood pa- tiently in the gallery throughout the meeting. There were many members of the falr sex in the audience, who were greatly interested In the remarks of the speakers and added their meed of ap- plause every time the name of some great standard-bearer of the Republican party was named or some strong point was emphasized. The Pavilion was handsomely decora- ted, the American flag being predominant in the decorations. On every side and gracefully strung from the rafters of the immense structure were embiems of lib- erty. That portion of the hall Gevoted to the meeting was inclosed with red, white and blue bunting. The speakers and vice preidents sat on the platform, which was resplendent in 'vari-colored bunting. Over the speaker's’ head ‘was a large American flag, and hanging from the bal- cony were two. shields. -One read, “One country, one flag,” and the other, “Pros- perity at home, prestige abroad.” Republicans prominent in the affairs of the party in this State were also seated on the platform, among them being Chief Justice Beattys of the Supreme Court, Judge Van Fieet, Alden -Anderson, the party’s candidate for Lieutenant Gov- ernor; Senator Thomas Flint, Samuel M. Shortridge, CongressmangJulius Kahn, Congressman Kahn was tendered an ovation when he made his appearance. He was checred to the echo and he had to bow his acknowledgment time and again, Whenever his name or the name of his colleague, Congressman Eugene F. & Loud, were mentioned, the assemblage cheered long and loud SHORTRIDGE PRESENTS SPEAKER OF EVENING Praise for the State of Maine. Senatcr Thomas Flint opened the meet- ing. He welcomed those present in be- half of the Republican State Commit- tee, and in a short speech Iintroduced Samuel M. Shortridge, cnairman of the evening. As the famous orator arose to take charge of the meeting he was given an enthuslastic reception. He was com- pelled to walt a few minutes untfl the applause had subsided, and then In ring- ing voice he brought his auditors to an enthusiastic pitch by eulogizing the men who have gained fame for themselves and the Republican party in bygone years. Shortridge spoke In part as fol- lows: You are welcome, Jadies and gentlemen, and I am- thankful for the honor of presiding over this magnificent meeting. I trust all dem- onstraté to some extent my great appreciation for the function of chalrman, for I know you are impatient to hear the distinguished gentle- man who hails from the Atlantic shore. For there has been in this, our republle, no State more loyal than the great State of Maine. (Ap- piause.) She came into this Unfon ae the child of freedom, and the day of her birth was 1820. She has always been loyal and faithtul. Asso- ciated with the celestial Abraham Lincoln (ap- plause) was a son of Maine. (Applause.) Han- nibal Hamlin was tha first Republican Vice President of this natlon, &nd he came from that State. Maine is not =o great territorially &s California. but she has been supremely great in and faithfulness the morality, patdotis her sons. That State man whose name will nals of thie republic; a man who will be im- mortal In the hearts of the people—James G. Blaine. (Applause.) That State gave to this republic the celebrated and farseeing Thomas B. Reed, and that splendid State sends us to-night Charles E. Littlefleld (great applause) as a voice from the East to speak to us of the West. She sends to us the successor of the author of the Dingley act. (Applause.) She sends to us her great orator and statesman, the Hon. Charles E. Littlefleld, whom I have the great honor and pleasure to present to you, (Applause.) When Congressman Littlefleld arose to address the audience he was tendered an ovation. He was agreeadly surprised at the warmth of his reception. During his short sojourn in this State he has ad- dressed many large audiences, but it 1s hardly probable that their greeting to him Wwas as enthusaistic as that accorded him last evening. He was unable to proceed with his speech for fully. five minutes. When quiet had been secured he spoke in part as follows: Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: = After about two weeks, during which I have hed an opfortunity to see, to a certain extent, this” coast and look into the faces of its people, I | of Lave reached the conclusion that the pen of no writer and the tongue of nmo orator is ade- quate to the proper prefentation to the com- prehension of one who has never seen this territory, of its magnificent resources, its vast rossibilities and Its splendid destiny. San Franclsco is ite {mperial city. The in- exhaustibly fertile soil, under an eternal fruc- tifying summer sun, produces everything tnat ministers to the wants, that furnishes com- fort, and that contributes tb the pleasure of a Christian _civilization. This magnidcent and spaclous bay, surrounded as it-Is by its beei- ling hills and its beautiful level piains, or waich San Franclsco is the mistress, having a ca- pacity equal almost to an iniand sea. 4s of vast importance to San Francisco and Cali- fornia and to the republic, for the reason that the merchant marine of every land, from which men go down to the sea in_ships, can Tost theren for lading and unlading. ~This magnificent territory and this magnificent peo- ple, it affords me great pleasure to meet upon thig occasion, American civilization, ever advaneing, ever increasing and ever expanding. has long had Westward early in the history of the republic an ener- getlc, adventurous, enterprising people moving across the Mississippi, occupled the purple val- leys of the West; they reached the Rockies and over they went; they went over the Rock- ., through the valleys between It and the Sierras, and they rolled over, the Sierras, across the isthmus and around the Horn, un- il they located here upon the shores of the Pacific in this Golden Gate State. Having thus developed its resources, this same civilization is lcoking now toward the Orient, into which to expand with its mighty energies, and San Francisco 1s the gateway of that expansion. (Anplause.) The vast International commerce of this @ountry requires some outlet. Here a manu- factured product of thirteen billions of dollars requires some effort for expansion. The ex- ports of this great republic have hitherto been sent largely to continenta] Europe, where we have been obliged to compete at their very doors with the industrial capability of con- tinental Europe, and we have established our trade there by bearding the lion in “his den and the Douglass in his hall. (Applause.) During the last six years the baiance of trade flowing into this mighty republic has amount- ed to the immense and fabulous aggregate of two billion eight hundred million dollars of money, as against seven hundred millions from '93 to '97; a vast sum—a miilion and a halt in every one of the twenty-four hours: one thousand dollars a minute; sixteen dollars a second—indicating the vast flood of the influx of European and farelgn gold to these shores to add to our wealth and increase our pros- perity; 8 sum that ls greater than the total balance of trade in fayor of this republic dur. ing the whole one hundred and eight years preceding 1808 And this under the financial and economic policles of the Republican party. (Arplause.) The total exports of this Jfreat republic, showing where our surplus products and man- ufactures have gone, have agsregated during this period from twelve hundred miilions to fourtéen hundred millions of _dollars, and nearly B0 per cent of that vast sum has gone to European countries, to England, Germany and France, there to compete on their own thresholds with the added burden of the cost of transvortation from the republic abroad with the hazards and dangers of the trans- portation. N Under these circumstances, with thase dif- feulties, our enterprise, energv and skill havs been able nractically to take hossession 1 many lines of the markets of Europe, But in the Orlent. it is not so. When we look forth to the Orlental lands we there com- pete upon equal terms with the Englishman, the German, the Hollander and the French- man o far as transportation”charges are cou- cerned and the expenses and hazards ineldeit to_transvortation. The lésson that this teaches is that in for- elgn lands, in the Eastern country, flilumin- ated by Ortental splendor, is to be seen later the goal of the ambition of the business and commercial interésts of the great and free re- public. Milllons upon millions are to proceed from_thes: shores across the calmer waters of the Pacinc and reach their Oriental markets, and San Francisco will sit at the receint of customs when that magnificent dream shall be realized. (Applause.) How great are her resources; how vast are her Dossibiities: how enlendid is her destiny: The realization of this more than dream has already been foreshadowed by the magnificent performance of the last five years under Rc- j publican nolicies and Republican administra- tion. Our Democratic friends now say that they Dropose to reverse these nolicles that have con- tributed to the production of these magnificent results by asking the people of California to elect a Democratic Governor, a Democratic Legislatyre and Democratic members of Con- gress. That fa the proposition pending befor> the peovle of California in ‘this campaign. The great question s, will we reverse these policies _or will we continue the policies that by thelr practical application to the busine: of everyday life have justified the principles upon which they are based, and by the stern, the Inexorable and unanswerable logic of events have established their permanent wis- dom and usefulness to the great country in which we Iive? (Aplause.) SPEAKS IN EULOGY OF LOUD AND KAHN Testifles to the Ability and Integrity of Our Representatives in Congress. It affords me great pleasure in the out- et of this discussion to feel that I stand here before the joint constituents of two distinguished members of the lower house. They are my colleagues on that floor, and 1 am proud and gratified to be able to stand here to-night and testify from my own knowledge and my practical experlence to the efficiency, ability and integrity of the Hon. I e Loud and Hon. Julius Kahn. (Appl 3 I wish in the first instance, inasinuch as he is the oldest and ranking member of this delegation, to say a few personal words in relation to ‘the distinguished gentieman Wwhom 1 first named. Every citizen of Cali- fornfa and particularly every eitizen of the district.that he now represents, and that I believe he will continue to represent (applause) in the next Congress, should fully and well understand the value of hils service to this district. He is the chair- man of the great Committee on Postoffices, and I am stating it mildly when I say that there is no other man on the floor of that lower house who, by reason of his- long service, his practical experience and dilj- gence in business, who has the knowledge of the affairs involved in the administering of that great department of this Govern- ment, that comes closer hone to every man, woman and chiid in the republic than any other than does Hon. Eugene F. Loud. (Ap- plause.) And as a practical business propo- sition, T want to eay to his constituents, and I trust many of them may be here this evening, that by reason of this knowl- cdge, by reason of this ability, and by rea- son of his twelve years of experience, he has an [nflusnce on tue flhor of that house and with its leaders that few other men have; and that is well attested by a con- spleuous illustration that is to-day being created in this Golden Gate city and this Golden Gate State. reached am advised since T . the Government of the United States appropriated a miliion_doilars upon which to build a postoffice. That was at the end of the Harrison administration. The mext thing in order after that public improve- ment had been thus inaugurated would have been, in the ordinary course, to have appropriated more miillons of dollars to erect upon that Iot the building for which it was purchased. But we had a Demo- cratic _administration, and there is one £ood_reason, tn which T shall allude later on, why they were not able to make the neceseary appropriations. They could not manage the affairs of this great republie 50 as to havé the necessary money there, and therefore our Democratic friends either did not d.sire or could not make the ap- propriation.

But 50 soon as a Republican adminis- tration by the verdict of the American people was installed in power then came the opportunity where Eugene F. Loud was able to use the Influence he had acquired by Ms long service, diligence and inteill- ce, and to secure an appropriation of $3,000,000, and_to-day, two blocks distant, upon this lot that was occupied in 1808 by the army of Coxey to which I shall here. after refer when I contrast the conditions from 1883 to 1807 and the conditions from 1897 to 1902, there is being constructed the finest postoffice building, ome that s to have an (nterior second only to that of the Congressioral Library in \ashington, D. and that is second to no other build- Ing that exists anywhere in any land, under any government.

BEST RALLY JET HELD IN WODDLAND Perkins and Cut- ter ,Deliver Speeches. Big Crowd Hears Discussion of Issues. Special Dispatch to The Call OODLAND, Oct. 15—The Re- publicans had a big and en- thusiastic rally here to-night. The mew Armory Hall was filled and great enthusiasm prevailed. It was the best Republican meeting of the campalgn. Sepator W. M. Cutter was the first speaker. He ex- pressed the opinion that if the people of Yolo could vote direct for a United States Senator, George C. Perkins would receive a large majority. He made a strong ap- peal for support on the ground that if elected he would vote for the re-election of Perkins, while his opponent, if elected, would vote for a Democrat. Senator Cut- ter enumerated the many enactments of law procured by him that were bemeficial to this district. He said his epponent was inexperienced in legislative matters and could accomplish but little in a Repub- lican State Senate. Senator Perkins devoted his speech al- most wholly to a discussion of national issues He fixed the date of the begin- ning of “hard times” at 1883. The coun- try was prosperous under Harrison's ad ministration, wages were high and work was plentiful. The election of Cleveland destroyed confidence, capital went into hiding, workingmen drew their savings from the banks and buried them. Mills and factories shut down and wage wor ers, out of employment, marched across the continent looking for work. These changes were due, he said, to the Demo- cratic demand for a new tarif and a monetary system. From 1893 to 1887 the sun shope brightly and the rain fell as cepiously as at any other period, so was not elimatic conditions, but a cha in the tariff laws that made th times.” The election of MecKinley Te- stored confidence, the mills started and wages advanced even befome the enact- ment of the Dingley law because the peo- ple knew the polcy of the Republican party was to protect the home market. The Senator gave the Républican parfy credit for conducting the Spanish-Ameri- can war, and charged the Democrats with abusing the soldiers in the Philippines. He sald the Republican party had sent 1000 teachers to begin the campaign of education in the Philippines. The Repub- lican party had kept faith with Cuba. As soon as the Spanish troops were driven out, the cities were cleaned, the people taught something about sanitary require- ments and how to govern themselves, the troops withdrawn and the flag hauled down with honor. Major Myers, nominee for the Board of Equalization, and Truman Reeves, for State Treasurer, also spoke. —— THEATRICAL EMFLOYES INDORSE JULIUS KAHN Men Behind the Scenes Favor Popular Congressman’s Re-Election to Office. Congressman Julius Kahn was surprised yesterday to receive a fetter from the Theatrical Employes’ Club of this ecity, notifying him that he was the choice of the members for Congressman i t Fourth District.
