McGee opened the meeting. He | said he did so in behalf of the student | bodies of the universities of California end Stanford and the members of the Hastings Law College. He then intro- | duced William H. Aiford as chairman of the evening. He said Mr. Alford was the nominee for the Board of Equalization on the Democratic ticket from the First District. He said the Union Labor party | had not nominated a candidate for the pesition, as Mr. Alford was always in fa- ver of organized labor. in taking charge of the meeting, Mr. oduction I have re- ary to speak about and 1 am glad | favored.

Alex Rosborough, candidate for Secre- tary of BState, followed and said he en- joyed the distinction of being the only bachelor on the State ticket and he ap- pealed to the ladies to help him secure his election. STANFORD STUDENT’S VIEWS. Edgar G. Riste of Stanford University was the first student speaker to be intro- duced. In part he sppke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen: While we are swapping campaign lies, the biggest one I can tell is to say how #lad I am to be before you. I feel very much in the same predicament as the other over- gTown boy, who, when called upon to make an extemporaneous speech before & country liter- ary, arose, took the floor and said to the chair. man: ““Mr President, what shail I talk about?" | The omnipresent small boy on the front seat | { | sang out: ““Talk about & minute and sit down.’” But there are those things for our considera- tion which we cannot overlook and of which | every true citizen must form an opinion. It is certain that the interests of moneyed combina- tions have become a menace to the public wel. | fare and it is equally certain that there is a remedy for the impending evils that the people of the commonwealth may apply if they but | Oltver Goldsmith, 1n “The Deserted Viliage.” | | freedom to think, freedom to speak, SwiLLians] v GA""E?

From the earliest period of which we haye any history of the state of soclety we find that there are certain rights of the individual to the free gifts of his Creator, which, within the memory of man, has never been denied him. Natural rights they may be termed, and among those that may be mentioned are the rights 10 dig for coal and minerals, the right to light | and air and the right to the use of water. In Haly Writ it is told that the Israelites once sent twelye mer to spy upen the land of C naan, and of the twelve there came back two who 1old of a land that flowed with milk and | honey, and of the Brook of Eschol that tumbled down the mountain sides, and on whose banks grew the grapes of which it ook two men to bear a single cluster.

WHAT DEMOCRATS ADVOCATE. The men contesting for election on the . ceratic ticket are advocating - the publie ron trol of natural righfs. Their constituency Is :;mlel up ‘,r‘xr:mF ople who toil and their earts are with these people in the! for an ‘honorable Ijvelihood. g isis s not @ time for men with warm blood in thelr veins to sit by and ‘l‘;ee't:{): tfl;;‘\u o!‘ our leaders go unaided. ere is excuse or at least charity for men who have voted stralght tickets for foors years when they cling to a party of which they have 5o long been a follower. ut when we who are perhaps casti first ballot, free from the affection. far ooy old party warhorse we may.have idolized In the past and untrammeled by any party tra- dition, cast about for a side to work upon, it is up to us to Hazard our energies for the gide which stands for the- equality of man- nd. Since that memorable morning when Th Jefferson tied his horse to the hitching rafl before the nation’s Capitol it has ever been that Democracy has stood against oppression &and laws tending to the aggrandizement of the oppressor. And it is fitting that at the great universi- ties of the West there are those who openly affiliate with the Demo®ratic party, For rather that our higher education should be for the care and culture of those in whose makeup there is a tendency to oppress his less fortunate fellow it were Detter that our institutions be razed to the ground and desert grass to grow upon every campus in the land. BERKELEY MAN ON TRUSTS. James M. Koford, '03, University of California, was the next speaker. His speech in part was as follows: While we are students of the two great uni- yersities of cur State, it is not as such that we speak to you. We belleve.it to be a dis- tinction to be students but _we believe ft a sreater distinction to be, and to address you as, ocrats. ‘e.are here ‘o-night because we believe In free government, because we believe that free government does and must rest upon the greut body of citizens, and be- cause we belleve that the Democratic party recognizes man as man; not as r of so much wealth or influence, but as the r manh As possessor of go mu Democrats we believe in individual freedom; freed to act and to organize—but only so far “n?: does not interfere with the freedom of our fel. low man. It is because certain indust or- | ganizations interfere with the freedom and rights of individuals that such a thing “‘trust issue’ -ever arose, - i A ‘trust is not necessarily a complex mat- ter. Here we have several establishments competing for public trade and, recogniszing the economic advantages of combination, join | interests. Now, all ihis is legitimate and proper, but having effected organization they find themselves the possessors .of a monopoly and make unfair uss of it by .applying the | odious rule of charging' “'all the traffic will bear.” It is asainst this that' we protest and hen a tariff is legislated which. eliminates | all danger of competition, enabling the posses- | sors of_this unfair advantage to rob a helpless | people,” we demand its repeal. The trust is- sue is real, even our Republican fricnds real- | ize this, and although Senator. Hanna _tells us. that ‘there are no trusts in the United States, yet the party of which he is the ac- knowledged head has placéd statute after | statute upon our books against trusts, —and | has_with a studled persistency, failed to en- forde them, | . The American peovle, demanding the regh- | lation of trusts and the Repubiican party real- izing its faflure to keep its. promises, has sprung.upon us a remedy in the one vague and, general word—publicity!. I don't. know what this means—I don't think our Republi- can friends do, It is a trite thing to say that “‘eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” but it is still true; without consistent effort no ad- vaneement is made, and since the existence of our great republic is founded on the rights of the citizens, they must be ever on guard to repel encroachments. We belleve that the interest of the great mass of people is found in the platform of the Democratic party and therefore it is to our interest to Support its Congressional nominees, pledged to secure these eeded reforms., and to elect as the chief ex- cutive of our State one whose greatest eulogy is that he is a man and a Democrat, one of the people, one of the party of the people— Franklin K. Lane. GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION. lag - |INDORSE LOUD Short addresses were made by Judges Trask and Farnsworth, candidates for | places on the Supreme Bench. Both gen- | tlemen were given a hearty greeting. The | quartet rendered some morg songs, after which Chairman Alford introduced Charles H. Sooy, '04, Hastings College of | the Law, who discussed “Government by Injunction.” ,In part ne said: Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentiemen: When our forefathers laid aside the sword and fook up pen, they deemed it wise and expedient | to insert one clause for the freedom of the | press and one for freedom of speech and the right of trial by jury. These principles had | become so firmly fixed in English jurisprudence, | 80 near and dear to the heart of all mankind. | that it was. thought that no one party would | become so powerful that it would atfempt to | abriage or curtail these rights guaranteed the people by the constitution; but our forefathers reckoned without the knowledge which comes from: living in the same country with a Re- | publica: . for. mot many vears after the inauguration of our new Government the Re- | pubiican y under the direction of Adams, pasged the alicn and sedition laws, which were |in effect that the President was given the | power to send out -of the country any foreigner whom he deemed unfit to live in the land of | the free and the haven for the oppressed of ail climes, also a law was passed setting forth that -criticizing those - high in office. should be -deemed a crime and was to be punished as such by imprisonment. These laws aimed to give ~the Republican party greater power and to perpetuate its reign, but “these damnable principles o un-American’ proved to he the downfall of Republicanism and the victory of the Democratic party. Buch & howl of indignation, such.a cry of wrath went up from the American people as never was heard’ befo and as & rebuKe upon the aristo- cratic party, the party who sought to strike at and deprive them of their long-cherished and long-fought-for liberties, the people elected Thomas Jefferson, father of all Democracy, to the Presidency. Since this rebuke the Republi- can party has made no direct attack upon our, 1iberties until within the last eight years, when it started the most damnable, far-reaching, ef- fective evil practice that was ever sought to be inflicted upon a 11z and enlightened peo- ple, when in 1804 a- West Virginia Judge grant- ed an injunction restraining men from striking and established a precedent which has been fol- lowed -and fostered by trust-made Judges to this day and actually exists now. STRIKES AT LIBERTY. Now this attempt to strike at the funda- mental principles of our liberty must be nipj in the bud. How aras we to do it? To Wi port must the tempest-tossed plain peo) turn? To what haven, to what protector, must they look to correct these evils? There is only one answer to this, my friends—qur way is clear. The beacon light of Democtacy shines out strong and clear over the troubled waters of the trust, the tariff and government by in- junction. But, my friends, we are told to the Republican party, the party which has twice struck at our liberties—well, let us see, the only way to tell what a party will do Is to find out what it has done. The last two plat- forms of the Republican party have been silent on this subject. Now, let us see what action the Democratic party 'has taken. It has come out strongly against the abuse of the injunction in two of its platforms and now standse against it. Isidore Dockweiler, candidate for Lieu- tenant Governor. was introduced at this juncture. . Mr. Dockweiler had sat 'way back on the platform, muffied in a heavy- cvercoat. He was somewhat pleased on entering the hall to see a sign bearing his name, notifying him that he was a candi- date for office. He was further pleased when called upon to speak. He took ad- vantage of his opportunity to deliver a long address, in which he tried to show beyond a doubt that the Republicans would be defeated in the coming election. ‘When he concluded his remarks, Frank- D IN' EMPHATIC San Jose Postoffice - Clerks Voice Gratitude.

AN JOSE, Oct. 18.—Branch No. 146 of the United National ‘Association of Postoffice Clerks, at a meeting held yesterday, unanimously passed resolutions indorsing Hon. Eugene F. Loud for Congress from the Fifth Dis- trict. & The local branch inctudes all of thé clerks in the San Jose postoffice and they are enthusiastic supporters of Loud, who has done much to help their condition and 'hours of labor. The resolutions are as follows: Whereas, Through the intelligent efforts of Hon. Eugene F. Loud, chairman of the House Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, the postoffice at San Jose has been allowed an addl- tional number of clerks, sufficient to enable them to do the required work on an elght-hour schedule; and, . Whereas, We fully realize, also, that many of the benefits received by us during the past three vears ave due to the interest that Mr. Loud has taken in the welfare of postoffice clerks; there- fore, 5 Resolved, That we, the members of Branch No. 146, United National Assoclation of Post- office Clerks, hereby extend to Hon. Eugene F. Loud our sincere thanks and express our grate- ful appreciation of his efforts in our behalf. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this branch and a copy of them be sent to Mr. Loud and furnished to the press. @ it etk @ lin XK. Lane put in an appearance. He was escorted down the aisle with theatri- cal effect by Chairman Caminetti of the campaign ' committee. Mr. Lane was cheered and the band played an énlivening air to swell the sound. Willlam A. Gett, candidate for Attorney General, was in- troduced and made ‘a speech. It was evident that the ‘‘students’” meeting was only such in name. The stu- dent speakers who were Invited to ad- dress the gathering sat back and waited patiently to be called upon. Two waited until nearly all the candidates on the State ticket had been introduced and might have been waiting yet but for the fact that Mr. Lane appealed to Chairman Alford to call upon the remaining student orators to speak before he was intro- duced. This magnanimous action on Mr. Lane's part was appreciated by the col- lege men. ATTACKS BXPANSION POLICY. Walter C. Maloy of Stanford University was the next speaker on ‘the programme. Most of Maloy's” atldress was devoted to a’scathing attack on the policy of expan- sion and the position taken by the Repub- lican par! on ‘the Philippine question. Maloy pictured the sufferings of soldiers who “have been engaged in suppressing the insurgents; the loss of life the strug- gle has entajled and the misery it has awakened in the Unitéd States. The last of the. student speakers was ‘William V. Gaffey of Hastings College of Law. Gaffey referred to the tour made by Charles E. Littlefield throughout the State as an effort on the part of the Re- publican party to delude and snare voters and pronounced the gentleman himself a humbug and a hireling of the trusts. “Mr. Littlefield of Maine,” said the speaker, “has been telling of the woes that would befall you-should Franklin K. Lane be elected. He dwells on the horror of the situation that would arise in the event of the death of either Senators Perkins or Bard, because the Governor would certainly appoint a Democrat to fill the vacancy. The greatest man that ever carried the banner of California into the halls of national legislation was a Democrat. Hjs name was Stephen M. White. (Cheers.) We could trust our peer- less leader, Franklin K. Lane, should the centingency arise, to select from the ma- terial his party” affords one whose rep- resentation of his State would be clear as the noonday sun and who would pit crganized liberty against the bulwarks of corruption,” CRIES FOR LANE. ‘When Gaffey was seated there were cries for Lane. After the glee club had rendered another selection the candidate for Gevernor stepped to the front. 'He was greeted with . loud applause -and cheers echoed in every part of the build- ing. When order was restored Lane said: Ladies and gentlemen: I have no words, much less a voice, to express to you thanks for this- warm greeting. 1f audiences in other cities were smaller and there had been fewer enthusiastic outdcor meetings, 1 might have réturned to this city without this hoarseness in my voice. So, considering all things, and, especially the lateness of- the-hour, I will con- tent mysell with a few words, not in the nature of a formal address, but by way of making known to you my heartfeit thanks for the enthuslasm you have dispiayed .at this rally. 1 will say to you, men of Stanford, Berke- ley and Hastings, that I thank you most heari- ily.® Since 1 have besn away 1 have seen mary things. . The position taken by the people of this State in {his campaign has made me rejoice. Iivery town fired cannons, sent out its bands to meet us, waved flags and lighted torches. It was one grand demonstration in our favor, and I have been glad of it all. But I tell you there:has never heen a moment in this campaign when.

This is & campaign for. young me the top to the bottom of our ticket names of young men full of vim, and full of confidence. I, perhap: patriarch among , may be a being the only gray- haired individual on the list. Under such cir- them, cumstances we are going to win.. Our Con- gressional candidates are, likewise. We muke an appeal to you to stand with us. Send to Congress those for whom you may have ad- miration—men who are honest and who are capable of doing something for the State of California. 1 would like time to discuss thorvu:hly the subject of higher education. I entered college at an older age than most boys and appreciated my training more than many boys do. Since, I have observed many things and have come to the conclusion that the future of the State is in the hands of young men, provided that in training and in eul uent life they do not forget the common people. There is a ten- dency to set aside college men as a class. This 18 a mistake. We are not o in intelligence, character or quality to those who have been less fortunate. Some of the wisest to i s eabication for ‘those who desire it. but little for those Who have not the matertal to work on. There is something better, boys, when you g old, get into life, and possibly into politi than being a college uate. That is being 4 man. Political life does not so much demand brains as it does courage and force of char- acter. It requires men who own themselves and who are not tied to any man or corpora- tion. Buch men, when found, will rise whether or not they are blessed with an education.

Campbell was in excellent voice, and he fully bore out his reputation “as: #n eloquent and gifted talker. He was given the closest attention throughout, his re- marks being punctuated at frequent in- tervals with prolonged and enthusiastic applause. Campbell spoke for more than an hour. He began with a resume of the administration of" the late President Mc- Kinley and continued under -Presideat Roosevelt.

AKLAND, Oct. 18.—Dr. George C. Pardee will return to his home city during the coming week and will close his campaign with his head- quarters in his own home. He will devote coasiderable aftention to Alameda and San Francisco counties and will work with- his many friends around the bay. Beveral trips have been planned for him in connection with Congressman Victor H. Metcalf through the Third Congres- gional District. Congressman Metcalf will take Dr. Pardee personally to Val- lejo and through Solane County. They will probably address a meeting at Val- 12jo on the 29th of the present montn.

And they did LANE RALLY ECLIPSED. True, when Franklin K. Lane was here a few days ago, the Democrats by shrewd presswork managed to le enthusiasm and a goodly number of shouters and boomers were corralled and cut loose to whoop things up—and to their credit let it be said, they performed the task in hand very creditably. But for real, genuine, sincere enthusi- asm the demonstration accorded Camp- bel in the opera-house to-night complete- 1y eclipsed the Lane celebration. Indeed, the reception accorded this talented ora- tor took the form of an ovation. The ut- most enthusiasm was everywhere mani- fested and a chill of mingled surprise and disappcintment < up the backs of the Lane supporters as they viewed with en- vious eyes the crowd of men and boys who marched with flaming torches behind a brass band, which headed the proces- sion to the opera-house.

He has been asked to speak in Fresno in Congressman Needham's district, znd will prébably address ome Taceting each for Eugene F. Loud and Julius Kahn in San Francisco, telling how those representatives have served their constituents. Mr. Metealf has also decided to speak in West Oakland and at one or two other places in Alameda County in behalf of the Republican county and legislative ticket. Mr. Metcalf has the support and confidence of the workingmen, and it is believed that his appearance in the cam- paign will help the entire Republican ticket. The Republican County Central Com- mittee has announced a series of dates for candidates’ meetings during the com- ing week. On Monday the candidates will go to Mount Eden and on Tuesday there will be a big meeting in Alameda. On Wednesday there will be & meeting at the ‘Watts Tract. Thursday there will"be a gathering at Seventh and Adeline streets. Friday visits will be made to Alvarado and Decoto, and the week will wind up with a big meeting in Oakland. Asa V.

MAKES APPEAL TO THEIR REASON Needham Shows"'Cali- fornia’s Need of Protection. T Spectal Dispatch to The Call. AYMOND,. Oct. 18.—Hon. James C. Needham, Republican nominee for Congress in the Sixth District, ad- dressed a large audlence- hepg, this evening. He urged the advisability of re- taining the present tariff, as being especial- 1y beneficial to the industries of the State of California. He gave as an {ljustration that, owing to the cheaper ocean trans- portation, foreign fruits and wines-could be placed in the Eastern markets at qne- third less than the cost of carrylng them across the continent. The imposi of a duty placed the California prodiicer on an equal footing with his European competi- tor. Needham polnted out that, with a Re- publican President and a majority of that party in the Senate, should.there be a Democratic . majority in the House of Representatives useful legislation’ would be blocked. In modestly urging hfs own re-election, Needham pointed out how much more. in- fluence a representative who had served several terms in Congress had over one who went there for the first time, giving as instance the States of Maine and lowa, whose Senators and B:xr-qt,:m,oc- cupled important positions Congres- sional committees. s
