TOCKTON, Oct. 20.—Despite sev- eral counter attractions, Samuel M. Shortridge was greeted by a large audience in Mgsonic Music Hall this evening. There was no street demonstration of any kind and the hundreds who attended were attracted colely by the lively interest taken in the progress of the Republican campaign. H ing and well known ‘citizens served as vice presidents. Shortridge was warmly recelved and frequently applauded. He said in part The United States is a republic, and the | greatest the worid has ‘ever known. - Our fathers snatched the scepter of power of princes and gave it into the keeping of the people.

(Great applause.) | DEMOCRACY AND LABOR. Metcalf Upsets Some Claims of the Opposition Orators. CROCKETT, Oct. 20.—A rousing Repub- lican welcomey which was voiced by the Mooming of cannon and the stirring notes of the Crockett Band, awaited Victor H. Metcalf here to-night. Standing room was at a premium when Congressman Metcalf arose'to-address the meeting. * In' a logical and masterful .manner he shattered the claim;of the;Democratic spellbinders that their-party is the only friend of the work- ing man. He told how twenty Republican States and only ten Democratic States had enacted laws creating labor bureaus; that there had been sixteen Republican States to six Democratic States that had passed eight-hour-day laws; that twenty-one Re- publican - States to ' three Democratic States had passed factory inspection laws, and that eleven Republican tes to three Democratic States had. passed laws against the sale of convict-mede goods. Metealf vehemently - denounced the charge made by the Democrats of the treachery of the Republican party. in re: gard to the Chinese exclusion law. He dwelt on_the importance of the coming election,~&s the next Legislature would elect a United States Senator, who might hold the controlling vote in the next-Sen- ate. £ Judge Wells acted.as chairman of the evening and a number of county officers made short addresses. i Brusie Speaks in Benicia. BENICIA, Oct. - 20.—The Republicans held their first local meeting of the cam- palgn heére’ to-night. « Hom: Judson C, Brusle of Sacramento, the principai speaker of the evening, was ushered in with a liberal amount of noise. ‘Bonfires were lighted, anvils boomed and Benicia's famous juvenile band dispensed music on the streets and in the old State House, where the rally was held. The county candidates were all on ‘exhibition ax.nd suns, ton- | ‘conditfons impovetished it. = 5 were ‘complimented by Brusie upon théir flow of oratory. Brusie's address was directed largely to the laboring class, warning it to keep politics out of its unions and not to Vote for a return. of the’ conditions of 1893 to 1897. SQUARELY FOR PROTECTION. Coombs Says He Is. Not Campaign+ ing on Two Platforms. MARYSVILLE, Oct. 20.—A rousing Re- publican meeting was held to-night at Nicolaus, Sutter County, where Hon. Frank L. Coombs, candidate for Repre- sentative in Congress from the Second District, and Colonel T. V. Eddy of San Francisco addressed the people. Resi- dents from throughout ‘the southern por- tion of the county had gathered to hear -the popular statesman and his’ able as- sistant, and ‘the ovation which they re- ceived was. a flattering one. Coombs demonstrated how farming com- munities were dependent upon home con- sumption for their markets, as 9 . per ‘cent of the agricultural output was con- sumed in the United States. The business of the country was dependent upon the wherewitkal of its citizens to purchase; thus prosperity and high wages made the market valuable and the reverse of these He sald the nominees for Congress on the Democratic ticket were advocating protection to cer- dain industries while opposing protection as a principle, A man cannot stand upon two platforms, and as for himself, he was a protectionist from principle and would seek to preserve protection as a unity, for in that unity California must find its hope’ B Ry Suisun Republicans Rally. SUISUN, Oct. 20.—The Republicans of Suisun held their first meeting of the campaigh this evening. Ex-Congressman J. A. Barham of Santa Rosa was the speaker. ‘He saild the people of Califor- nia owed much to the policies of the Re- publican party and could not afford to do Gtherwise than elect the Republican tick- et by an overwhelming majority on No- vember 4. Barham exposed the fallacy of the claim of the Democrats that they were friendly to the laboring man, saying that a Democratic Congress never passed one single law in the interest of labor. The rpeaker’s remarks were heartily ap- plauded and three cheers were given for Pardee and-Anderson at the close of the meeting. Solano County will roll up her usual Republican majority on election day., b AR L ' Chico Hears Nominee Bell. CHICO, Oct. 20.—Theodore A. Bell, Democratic nominee for Congress in the Second Congressional District, and Mar- shall Diggs, Democratic nominee for the State Senate in this' district, made their #irst ‘appearance before the people of Chieo to-night. Bell's principal argument wis in‘support of ‘the contention that the Démocratic party was not a free trade party and that the Wilson bill-was more favbrable to the farmer thm, the present law: . 7 > Camrans ) smray e Democrat Predicts War. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 20.—A feature of ‘the Democratic rally on the plaza this even- ing was a somewhat sensational speech by William M. Gibson of San Francisco, who declared that if this country con- finued in its present course another five years it would bring a revolution or a system of imperialism. o i . _Captain Daniels in Delano. DELANO, ©Oct. 20.—Captain M. J. Dan- iels, nominee for Congress, delivered a telling speech here to-night to a large and enthusiastic crowd. + l L Eloguent Littlefield . Wins the Hearts of Santa Barbarenos Special Dispatch to The Call. ANTA BARBARA, Oct. 20.—The oOpérachouse was filled to over- flowing to-night by residents who gathered to listen to the Hon. C. E. Littlefield’s address on the is- 8ues of the campaign. The first speaker of the evening was Orrin Henderson of San Joaquin County, Republican nomfnee for Ratlroad Commissioner in the Third District. He was followed by the Maine Congressman, who was received with round after round of applause. Littlefleld first called attention to the general prosperity of the country, iilus- trating it by the great growth.in com- merce on the great lakes. .After point- ing' out the ‘dangers that would come should. California elect' Democratic Con- gressmen, he made ‘a masterly presenta- tion of the respective party lssues. He showed the incomsistency and lack of logic in the Democratic policy respecting protection and ‘free trade in -their bear- ing upon trusts. He showed further that it was little shoft of hypocrisy for the Democrats to hold to the general doctrine of free trade and advocate protection at | the same time for California products. He reviewed the. beneficlal results flow- ing from the Wilson, McKinley. and Ding- ley bills as they had affected the pro- ducts of this State. He sald it was sig- nificant that, while the Democrats were theoretically free traders, while 'in power they never took any steps to bring about free' trade. The Democrats, he said, claimed that protection was the mother of trusts, but they did not explain why in England, where trusts were numerous and free trade existed, the trusts should stand without ‘@ creator, nor. did they show why in this country most of the things protected had not resulted in trusts—that is to say, why the creator had no creatures. He eaid the Demo- crats had taken wp this issue of trusts In sheer desperation, having falled ,in their absaults' upon the army and in bringing disrepute on the Republican par- ty in the Philippines. : ~. In conclusién,* Littlefield ‘said that the prosperity of the country was due to B8ood legislation, sound mopey and pro- tection, instituted by the Republican par- ty and backed by the good sense of the American people. e WAS EAGER TO DEBATE. State Committee Prevented Littlefield Replying to Smythe. SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 20—The fol- lowing telegrams will show the efforts made by Representative Littlefield to ac- commodate Mr. Smythe, the Democratic nominee for Congress in the Eighth Dis- trict, when the latter asked for a joint debate on the issues in this campaign: SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 19.—To Hon, Wil- liam M, Cutter, San Francisco: I8 interview 8s to Smythe in to-day's Examiner correci?

To this the reply was as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.—Charles E.- Lit- tlefield, Santa Barbara: ta Babira: Cominittee doss pot desire "you vide your Mr. 1 Joseph . C. Campbell ~ Scoffs at Claims of the Democrats Special Dispatch to The Call. v ONORA, Oct. 20.—*“The Democrats are waging a.campaign of bluff,” 1§ said Hon. Joseph C. Campbell of San Francisco, -in talking with The Call correspondent to-night. Campbell spoke here on Saturday to a larger crowd and a more enthuslastic one than was present on the occasion of Candidate Lane's visit a few days pre- viously. H_e will leave here early to-mor- row for Modesto, where he speaks in the interest of Dr. Pardee and the Republican ticket. “Campbell is a careful observer and thoroughly skilled in the art of prac- tical political warfare. Hence the im- portance of his view: Y “Everywhere I go,” continued the dis- tinguished orator, “I find the Democrats are working their old game of bluff. They ate going through the State, in a spirit of braggadocio, claiming everything in sight and telling the people that Lane will be elected by the biggest majority eieér given a Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor, in the hope of Influencing some on- the-fencq votes. By this I mean they are attempting to cow the weak and timid into voting for the Lane ticket. There are_ of course, more or. less votes in every campaign that are influenced solely by the trend of sentiment, and the natural anxiely to be in with the winnérs often prompts men to vote contrary to their ~convictions: . 3 " “And so it Is that, having failed to make a successful campaign on the issues invoived and realizing the utter hopeless- ness of success if the campaign should be fought out, fairly and squarely, on the |issues and the personalities of the two men who head the tickets, they have turned to the old claim-all game, hoping against hope that they” will be able to warn: sufficient votes by this method to carry their ticket through. One thing that Jias struck me forcibly during my brief sfumping tour—that is the absolutely false and unsubstantiated ‘olaim of the Democrats that Lade will get the full vote of the labor unfons. I wish to deny this emphatically. From a careful can- vass of the situation in the countles I have visited I am convinced tnat he will get but a-few labor votes outside his party lines. s *Thé labor vote is not to be hoodwinked in this campalgn. Laboriig —men . know that the Republican party has done more for them’than the Democratic party has ever done, or ever attempted to do, and the old cry of ‘Democracy the friend of labor’ won't ayaifl the opposition any- thing this year. Laboring men these days i are educated—they read the newspapers and the magazines and know what is go- ing on in the world. The. time has long since passeéd when they' are willing to | accept the unsubstantiated statements of ite Democratic spellbinders that their party is the only true: friend of labor. In Tuolumne County, for instance, I find | many labofing men—members of the Miners' Unlon—who voted the Democratic ticket for Maguire in.the last- guberna- iorial campalgn and who are now enthu- slastically supporting Dr. Pardee. . “‘My visit to the Interior countles of the State convinces me that Lane will not get the votes that his managers are count. ing on. On the contrary, Dr. Pardee will come -out 0f the country districts with a greater vote than even the most optimis- tle party ‘men have claimed. fear of ‘the result_on election day. Dr. Pardee will win with a handsome ma- Jority.” i S . . Patton’s te to Lane. WATSONVILLE, Oct. 20.—Hon. George B. Patton of J Angeles addressed a large -and: e 8¢ audience in the opera-house this evening. ‘Hon. Edward ‘White presided. Patton paid” eloquent tribute to the Democratie standard bear- ér, ‘claiming that if a man’s.life éxample, or his characteristics, or his scholarly at- tainment, gzfltha. true dnd enthusiastic friends he everywhere . and at all times made, Was 2 proper criterion, then Fraoklin K. Lane should be the next Governor of nia. . In speaking of ‘the “‘hard.-times” of 1363 and 1894, he said that the siléence of the factory and the panic in the land was not because a ‘Democratic President was in the White "House, 'but_because there was on our statute books ‘a Républican _high tarift law, promulgated by Republican states. men, passed by:a Republican Congress “and’signed by a Republican President. H I"have no/ S8 il Fifth District Nomi~ nee Finds Favor With . His Hearers —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call. 0S GATOS, Oct. 20.—Congressman Eugene F. Loud and Hon. Dun- can McKinlay addressed a large and appreclative audience in the Los Gatos Pavilion to-night. Early in the evening bonfires were light- ed on the principal two street corners of the town, and a variety of patriotic se- lections and popular airs were rendered by the Santa Clara College band. Shertly after 8 o'clock the band led the way to the pavilion and the building was soon filled to the doors. After the speakers and a number of vice presidents had taken their places on the stand the meeting was called to order by J. L. Lyndon, a member of the Santa Clara County Central Committee, and Hon, George H. Hooke was introducedsas chairman: Hooke introduced Loud, who was recelved with, a generous round of applause. . Loud reviewed some of the important issues of the day and demonstrated to his audience the greater value to this section of a man fvho “knew the ropes” in legis- lative affairs in Washington as compared with one who was unknown and untried. Mention of the name of George C. Par- dec was greeted with a spontaneous out- burst of applause. The speaker praised Pardee as citizen and statesman and closed by urging all Republicans to stand by their party organization and vote the straight Republican ticket from “op to bottom. McKinlay-was known to many present as the eloquent speaker who addressed a mass-meeting here during the last Presi- dential campaign,.'and’ his introduction ‘was followed by prolonged cheering. His listeners’ were rot disappointed, for the address' he made was éloquent and log- dcal. 4 { A notable feature of the meeting was the large number in attendance from the surrounding .orchard and farming dis- tricts, showing their appreciation of the successful efforts of Eugene F. Loud .in obtaining for them the rural free deliv- ery system, which has proved such a con- venience to all who reside outside the municipal corporation limits. The rally was the seecond which has been held here during the present season under the auspices of the Los Gatos Re- publican League, an organization of some 200 members, which has.proved itself an efficient factor in the campaign. The present registration is the largest in the history of the town, and all feel assured of a substantial Republican majority for the State and the county tickets on No- vember 4. WARM POLITICAL FIGHTS. Much Buttonholing of Santa Clara County’s Voters. SAN JOSE, Oct. 20.—Unusual interest centers in the three-cornered fight waging for the shrievalty of Santa Clara County. The candidates are A. B. Campbell (Re- publican), Jamges -Thorpe (Democratie) and Robert J. Langford, the present Sher- iff, who is running independently. Friends. of all three candjdates are doing their utmost. Being in the office, Langford has the best of the others in some’ respects, and his popularity also is sufficient to put him well up in the race. The Mackenzie- ites are also doing all in their power to elect Langford, in the hope of defeating Campbell, who is the choice of the Repub- lican Good Government League. Camp- bell was put up in the hope that he wouid get the full labor vote as he Is a member of the Carpenters’ Union, but the Demo- crats nominated Thorpe, also a union man, and the vote of the laboring men will be split. This will help Langford. The shooting at one of Thorpe's follow- ers by Daniel Ryan at the Western Hotel last night has added zest to the fray.' On top of this Langford to-day announced that he would sue the Mercury and the Messrs. Hayes, its owners, for libel. The ictlon wiil be based on an article appear- ing on Sunday -morning, in which the Sheriff was taken to task for his action in the Look Kee murder case. It was Linted in the paper that Langford was not very anxious to have a deputy of his figure in the prosecution of some of the witnesses for perjury. The papers are be- ing prepared now and the complaint will be filed in a few days. - Senator Shortridge, another independent candidate, is having a strenuous time in the' Twenty-eighth Senatorial District. There are three in this fight. W. A. Beasly is the publican candidate and William Herman"the tic nominee, With his colored quartet, Shortridge is ad. dressing large gatherings. His opponents are equally hard workers, and the electors of the district are recelving. more than their share of campaign oratory. eged Stealing, arrested last night at Yolo and is way to Alturas. e FOR GOLD LINE UP Hearty Greeting to the Republican Leader. Special Dispatch to The Call. RASS VALLEY, Oct. 20.—Red lights, electric {lluminations, brass bands, skyrockets, roman candles and enthusiasm marked the advent of George C. Pardee into Grass Valley this evening. More peo- ple thronged the streets than had beem - seen here before In years-and the town ‘was bubbling over with excitement. After the meeting in Nevada City this afternoon the -Republican nominee for Governor was met by ‘a delegation of cit- izens from Grass Valley, accompanied by a uniformed band, who escorted him back in a beautiful eleetric car. On Pardee's arrival in Grass Valley he was received by a large crowd of citizens, who gave him three rousing cheers as he stepped off the car. A banquet was _tendered Pardee and Frank H. Short, after which a_ procession was formed and hundreds of citizens. marched to ‘the rallroad sta- tion to meet the voters who came over on a free train from Nevada City. The meeting to-night was presided over by Ed F. Whiting, a prominent member of the Miners’ Union. Two-thirds of the membership of this unien, it is predicted, will vote for Pardee. A large number of members of the Miners’ Union' acted as vice presidents. The meeting was an enthusiastic one and the Republican nominee for Governor was loudly cheered. From all indications Nevada County will roll up an unusual majority for Pardee and the Republican tickKet. ———— PARDEE IN NEVADA CITY. Speaks in Afternoon to Crowd That | Fills the Opera-House. NEVADA, Oct. 20.—George C. Pardee, accompanied by Frank H. Short of Fres- ro, arrived in Nevada City last eyening. The Republican nominee for Governor was met at the train by a delegation of citizens and éscorted to his holel. He was given a hearty welcome on all sides. The Republican Central Committee had made extensive preparations for speaking in the opera-house this afternoon. Business houses of Republicans and Democrats alike closed their doors to give employes the opportunity of attending, and the public schools were given a half-holiday. Music was supplied by the Nevada City Boys' Band. Hundreds of badges were distributed throughout town and the streets presented a holiday appearnce. Every seat In the opera-house was filled when the chairman of the Republican Central Committee called the meeting to order and introduced Hon. E. M. Preston as- president. Preston in a few remarks introduced Pardee. The Republican lead- er was given an_.ovation, sund it was necessary to call for silence before the speaker could begin. Pardee spoke of the prcsyerlty of the country under Republican administration and told of Roosevelt's efforts to settle the great coal strike, and prophesied that the people of the United States would show their faith in the party by the re- election of Roosevelt as President of the United States two years hence. At this three rousing cheers and a tiger were glven. Continuing, the speaker sald that he be- Heved in organized labor. If the people showed confidence in him and .the Repub- lican administration by electing him Gov- ernor he would be ruled by né man and would conduct the affairs of office in a fearless manner, doing as he théught best for all the people and not for any specia« ¢lass.’ He was again and again interrupt- ed by cheers. Pardee paid a compliment to the people of this mountain county, which, he sald, was the most beautiful spot he had visited in California. At ths conclusion of his speech Pardee was given three hearty cheers-’ Hon. E. M. Preston then introduced Frank H. Short of Fresno. Short’s words were heartily applauded. He challenged any one in the audience to point out one irstance where Democracy had done any- thing for the laboring man. Short closed by -asking that the entire Republican ticket' be supported by Republican and Dembocratic voters. WEBB AND HAYES IN CORONA. Speak to a Crowd That Fills the Opera-House. CORONA, Oect. 20.—The Republican campaign in Corona opened to-night with eloquient addresses in the opera-House by U. 8. Webb, nominee for Attorney Gener— al, and”"J. O. Hayes of San Jose. The large building was filled by an audience that frequently applauded the speakers. The orators were introduced by George R. Freeman, who made a brief address. ‘Webb especlaily referred to the advan- tage derived from a protective tarff and to the present prosperous condition of the nation, as compared with the wretch- ed condition under Democratic rule from 1583 to 189, Hayes spoke from a business man's standpoint. He reminded his audience that it should put In a solid vote for Cap- tdin Daniels, the nominee for Congress in the Eighth District, who already had ac- complished so much for the fruit grow- ers of California. | ARSI Miners Shouting for Gillette. REDDING, Oect. 20.—J. N. Gillette and D. W. Brownlee, Republican nominees for Congress and the Assembly respec— ively, addressed an immense gathering of miners and smelter employes in Keswick to-night. The miners came down in gangs from the mines eleven miles distant and the entire population of the smelter city turned out to give its favorite candidate a rousing reception. While Keswick herctofore has been considered a hotbed of Demoeracy, it is certain that the Re- publican candidates who spoke there to- uight will poll a large vote. Fair mlnuh. CLOVERDALE, Oct. 20.—T. B. Hutchin- [lson of Napa County addressed an enthus- lastic Republican rally here this evening. In addition to the visiting orator all of the Republican county nominees appear- ed.
