He replied to false statements made by his opponent, E. J. Livernash, and showed conclusively that the Labor party's candidate for Congress in the Fourth District had misrepresented him in his speeches. Mr. Kahn was the principal speaker at the meeting of the Pardee-Kahn Club. s friends, the work- ingméh of the district, crowded the club- rooms and cheered the able speaker. Mr. Kahn's reply was a dignified one. He did not enter into personalities, despite the fact that his opponent had done so. He simply told the story of his connection with the Chinese exclusion bill and bore out all he said by excerpts from printed records. Mr. Kahn's reply was full of facts and had the ring of sincerity. Throughout the reading of the reply Mr. Kahn was interrupted by tremendous cheering. The Congressman was mter- rupted by questions put to him by labor- ing men in the body of the hall. One ques- tion and answer created a sensation. It was propounded by a Mr. Manm;lg and was as follows: “I should like to ask,” said Manning, “where Mr. Furuseth stood on that clause of the exclusfon bill relating to sdilors. T understand that clause was not a part of the exclusien act.” “Mr. Furuseth told me,” replied Kahn, “that if he could not get the saflor clause | he did not want any exclusion law at all. | In other words they (meaning Furuseth and Livernash) were willing to sacrifice the cigar-makers, laundry workers, gar- ment makers, overall makers and all kinds of people brought into direct com- petition with Chinese if he could not get the sailor clause, and I am not the only cne Mr. Furuseth told it to efther.” Congressman Kahn was Introduced by | William Granfield, president of ‘the club. ‘When .the cheering had subsided Mr. Kahn spoke in part as follows: EKAHN,K DEFENDS HIMSELF. 1t is not my custom-to indulge in personali- ties, and 1 do not intend at this moment to deviate from my course, but, in view of the tnscrupulous misrepresentation and falsifica- tion that have been indulged in by the other side, T Geem it but justice to myself, as well as to my friends, to make a clear statement of all the facts relating to the matter of Chi- nese exclusion and cther legislation in which organized labor is interested. p As you all know, the so-called Geary act was to expire by limitation on the 5th of May, 1902. 1 introduced a biil tentativély in the Fifty-sixth Congress, the purport of which was ta continue the existing laws Tor another period of twenty years. During the period prior to the convening. of the Fifty-seventh Congress I corresponded with Mr. Powderly, Commissioner General of Immi- gration, upon the subject, and on my arrival in Washington in the latter part of November, 1901, I called upon him at the Treasury De- partment and immediately took up the ques- tion with him. I found that he had sent for James R. Dunn of the Chinese Bureau, who is located In San Francisco, and whom my oppo- nent in a recent speech characterized as ‘‘one of the stoutest friends Chinese’ exclusion ever Fin Subsequently ‘a committee of Pacific Coast Senators and Representatives was appointed to consider the entire question, and this commit- tee took the Kahn bill as a basis for a new ! exclusion law, It had numerous meetings, and finally, when it had practically agreed upon the terms of the new measure, the California Commission arrived in Washington and asked for a hearing. I did all that I could to bring about a friendly feeling between the California Commission and the members of the California delegation, Finally the Mitchell-Kahn bill was agreed upon, and Senator Mitchell was Instructed by tesolution to introduce it in the Senate, which he did, while I by the same resolution was instructed to introduce it in the House, which’ 1 did. Early in the campalgn it developed that there Wi a decided feeling among many Senators and Representatives that nothing should be done which would interfere with the growing trade with China, and on the 20th day of Jan- uary, 1902, the following colioquy took place betwéen Senator Patierson, a tic \ tor from Colorado, and my opponent before the Senate committee. I now quote from the testi- mony taken before the Committee on Immigra- tion of the United States Senate on Senate bill Chinese exclusion, at page 132: LIVERNASH’S SPEECH. “‘Mr. Livernash—We of the West do not be- lieve that under the most permissive legislation there would be a great number of really good- faith purchasing agents of established mercan- tile houses in China sent to this country. Be- fore there could be much movement of that sort there would have to be a very material change In the business methods of the Chinese reople. “But we who have framed tliis bill arc by no means direcily adverse to placing In the measure n carefully safeguarded section designed to permit the coming to Ameriea of the good-faith agents of wholesale Chinese mereantile establishmen ts. Indeed, matter has been care-. fully discussed by the California | Commissioners in conference with the American Federation of Labor, | i ! xd submitted—doubtless was true in general. It was represented, I be- lieve, that a vessel carrying Chinese seamen can be operated much less expensively than a vessel bound to earry white seamen, It is because I know that representation to be true that I agree with the sugges- tion of the Senator from Indiana— that is, that if the provision under discussion were to be made law, it would be advisable, and perhaps necessary, to do something by way of subsidy or otherwise to emable American ships to meet on some- thing like a common basis of ex- pense those foreign competitors not obliged to employ white seamen, but left free to employ the cheaper Chinese labor.” In fighting this ssamen’s clause in the Sen- ate the senior Senator from Indiana, Senator Fairbanks - quoted my opponent as his author- and we have agreed to ask this eom- | ity for the assertion that American ships could mittee, having eharge of the exclusion leg- islation, to regard us as mot pos tively opposing an experimental en- largement of the exempt classes so thnt purchasing agents of impor- tant Chinese firms mosy come into our country in promotion of com- merce. How to make the enlarge- ment without grave danger is the problem. “Senator Patterson—I think it would make the bill much moare acceptable to a good many."” . 3 My opponent denies on the stump that he ever favored the amendment to let every Chi- nese wholesale house gend flve agents to this country—but this recdrd does not lie. That is his own language, uttered before the Senate committes, and I leéave you to judge whether he favored such an amendment or not. WITHDRAWS AMENDMENT. True, he came before the committee again scme ten or twelve days later and asked leave to withdraw that amendment o let every wholesale house in China send five agents to this country. But why did he do s0? When dld he do 50?7 After the labor uniops in San Francisco had commenced to your in’ thefr res. olutions denouncing the Merchants' Exchange and Chamber of Commerce for having advo- cated a liberalism of the laws along the same | lines proposed by my opponent. From the very beginring I opposed this rew departure. I felt that it would open up the Coors to mo end of trickery and duplicity, as well zs fraud. That afternoon I recelved a letter from my opponent, which reads as follows: “My Dear Kahn: I have a.brief to prepare for Roosevelt, and to get it through I'il have tc deny myself the pleasure of hearing the remainder of the argument you have so ably begun, ““But won't: you call me up by phone—Jour- nal office phone—this evening, and give me an outline of what you will have sald? I wish to tell California of your good work, of which, for ore, I'm genuinely appreciative. You are ‘strictly “all right.” $ won't you, t00, see to it that Hitt's clerk really gets our ‘deadly parallel’ to the printer, so that we shall have the benefit of the printed copies to-morrew if possible? The earlier we get it the better for our cause. “‘With cordial good will and a hope to know you better, I'm yours to command, - “LIVERNASH."” My opponent has intimated that the letter wag dated when he wrote it. I will be chari- table, and will simply say. that he is mistaken. 1 do not intend to be uncharitable. I do not intend to question the motives that actuated him in withdrawing that amendment. It is significant, howéver, that the amend- ment was withdrawn after the labor unions.in San Francisco had started in their agitation against the resolutions of the Merchants' Ex- change and at the time these resolutions from the labor unions were arriving in Wash- ington. FAVORS CHINESE CREWS. My opponent admitted in_ the Senate com mittee that, in his opinion, it would be im- possible for ships flying the American ccmpete with foreign vessels if the American ships were compelled to discharge their Chi- nese crews, uniess the sald American ships should _be paid a subsidy. T quote his lan- guage from page 136 of the hearing before the Committee on Immigratiwp of the Senate: “I was about to say that the ar-| LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20.—Manager Mor- gument made hére by the attorneys | ley has about completed - for the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany—I do 1 I ! ot know with how | tall of the present Los much accuracy as to the figures | club to sign them for the season of 1903, and the Housxe committee | not compete with forelgn ships if they werc compelled to carry other than Chinese crews. ESCORT FOR DR. PARDEE. Republican Alliance Will Go tao Vallejo for Nominee. OAKLAND, Oct. 20.—Dr. George C. Par- dee will not be in Oakland until the last of this wgek, and will begin his work in Alameda and San Francisco counties aft- er a short rest at his home. Dr. Pardee will be in Martinez on Thursday ' and will go to \Vallejo on {Thursday night, where he will be joined by Ccrgressman Victor H. Metcalf. Con- gressman Metcalf is the political idol of Vallejo ecause of his work for the navy yard, and he will introduce Dr. Pardee to his many friends in that section. The Republican nominee for Governor will make a little trip up the Napa Valley and will then come to Oakland. Oakland is going to take an interest in | the Vallejo meeting on Thursday night. The Republican Alliance will turn out in force to act as an escort for Dr. Pardee. They will take the 6:30 train from the Sixteenth-street depot in uniform and will return on a special train the same night. J. M. Glass of Pasadena addressed the Prohibition voters of Berkeley at Golden Sheaf Hall to-night. . ‘There will *be a Democratic rally at San Leandro on Wednesday evening, at which ‘addresses will be made by I. B. Dockweiler, candidate for Lieutenant Governor; R. M. Fitzgerald, J. G. Ma- guire, Thomas F. Barry and Calvin B. ‘White. Thomas Pearson, the colored orator of the Fourth Ward, has been employed by the State Central Committee and will ap- pear in Los Angeles on the 28th, Pasa- dena on the 29th and in Oakland on the Slst. ——— Railroad Man Drops Dead. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 20.—M. A. Baxter, general foreman of the Southern Pacific foundry in this city and one of the best known railroad men of the Pacific Coast, dropped dead in the foundry this eveging. Death is believed to have been due to heart disease or a paralytic stroke. Mr. Baxter was born in Norwich Plain, Vt., in October 17, 1836. He had been general foreman of the Southern Pacific foundry for twenty-one years. i o TN i Contest of Millionaire’s Will. VISALIA, Oct. 20.—A contest of the will of Ellas Jacob, the millionaire who dled in:San Francisco on October 1, was filed to-day. It -is alieged that Jacob was of unsound mind when he made the will. pR0TE A Morley Signing Players. ‘arrangements with Raymer, Dillon, Wheeler and Cris- baseball ¥ BIG VOTE IN STATE EXPECTED Indications Point to Republican - Success. Two weeks from to-day the election oc- curs. W. M..Cutter, chairman of the Republican . State Central Committée, would not be,surprised if 315,000 votes were polled. ' As affairs are now San Francisco has an election every year, hence the people hardly finish one cam- paign until the politiclans begin to figure on the beginning of another. Under the old’ consolidation act the municipal elec- tion took place along with the general election, hence the campaigning was only biennial. The frequency of political con- tests may account for the lack of dem- onstrative features in this campaign. So far as public meetings are concerned in the city and country the Republicans simply - outclass their opponents. Most audiences assemble to hear Republican doctrines preclaimed. There is an im- pression that a big vote will be cast and that thre State will reassert its adherence to the principles of protection and pros- perity. The big registration surely signi- fles a large vote. Henceforth special attention will be di- yected to the work of rallying the city Republicans. There is ample assurance thgt the Republicans of the interior have fully resolvéd to do their duty on Novem- ber 4. It is the judgment of Republican leaders who have invited conservative es- timates from every scction of the State that.Pardee will come to San Franeisco with a majority so large that nothing but a tremendous avalanche of opposing votes In this city ean bring about an ap- proach to Democratic success. It is quite well understood that the Democrats are sacrificing evcrything to advance the for- tunes of Lane. Other nominees on.the Democratic State ticket are left to seram- ble for' themselves—to hire their own halls, distribute their own campaign doc- uments and make their own speeches. The Republicans are conducting a con- sistent,. energetic and methodical cam- paign for the success of the whole ticket cf the party. Pardee has made legions of friends in the country by his slncere and” manly advoeacy of Republi- can doctrines. Next week he will mingle with the toiling masses in this city and the wage earners of the metropolis will then be able to see for themselves what manner of man he is. They will see n him a man of character and strength, a resolute man of the plain people, whose administration of State affairs cannot be shaped by the monopolies and corpora- ticns. Politicians who are well versed in local affairs predict that Lane’s strength in the city will fall short of Demo- cratic rainbow estimates. Four years ago Maguire boasted that San Francisco would give him 10,000 majority, but it ‘went against him. A joint mass meeting of the Republi- cans of the Thirty-ninth Assembly Dis- trict will be held this evening under the auspices of the Republican clubs of the district at Admiral Hall, corner Geary street and Central avenue. The cal for the rally is signed by C. H. Bolderman, president of the Primary League; G. A. Elank, president of the Mutual Alliance, and H. A. Hutaff, president of the Inde- pendent Republican Clubs. A meeting of the executive committee of the San Francisco Protective Asso- ciation was held yesterday afterncon to hear reports from its advisory board, consisting of four members in each As- sembly District, as to the availability of the various candidates for Senate and Assembly. The convention numbers eighty-five rep- resentatives and the very enthusiastic as- semblage was called to order at 2 o'clock in Foresters’ Hall by J. T. Hurley, presi- dent of the association and chairman of the advisory board. ‘ Reports were received from twelve of the Aesembly districtg and the chairmen of the different district delegations were instructed to forward their business with all possible dispatch, so that the board may be fully informed before the assem- bly in convention. of the liquor trade of this - city. The John A. Hoey, Republican Club was organized Saturday’ evening at 1600 Fol- som street. The officers are: Thomas Casey; president; John H. Morrissy, vice president; Willlam D. Casey, secretary; Fred Frerichs, treasurer, and William Miller, sergeant-at-arms. Negro Burglar Paints Face White. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 20.—Edward H. ‘Thompson, colored, was arrested here to- night and charged with having commit- ted twenty burglaries in this eity, tho loot being sold in San Francisco. Ha worked as a teamster during the day and cperated as a burglar at night. In order to disguise himself he painted his face white. Thompson has confessed all the burglaries charged, but refuses to inform cn-his accomplices in San Francisco. Y I To Command Pacific Station. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—The Post says: “Rear Admiral Henry Glass, commanding the naval training station at San Fran- cisco, has been selected as. the next com- nfander in chief of the Pacific station. He will succeed Rear Admiral Silas Casey, now at Panama protecting American in- terests.” DODGING NATIONAL SUBJECTS Lane Speaks to the Voters of Two Towns. Special Dispatch to The Call, HANFORD, Oct. 2.—The Democrats of Kings County gave Franklin K. Lane, the Democratic nomiree for Governor, a rous- Ing reception to-night, the opera- house being packed, to the doors. Lane spoke before a large crowd in Vi- salla to-night also and, after delivering his speech there, was brought to Ham- ford on a special train, arriving at about 10 o’clock. Gaston M. Ashe, Democratic nominee for Congress, ond E. J. Emmons, nominee for State Senator, addressed the gathering prior to the. arrival of Lane, who was met at the station by a band and torchlight procession and escorted to the opera-house. Lane's speech was de- voted almost entirely to what he termed State issues. Lane sald that the Republicans objected to his talking on State issues, declaring that he ought to talk about the tariff. The office that he was running for, de- clared Lane, had nothing to do with the question of the tariff. If elected Gover- nor of this State, he would devote his whole energies to the upbuilding ‘of Cali= fornia. There were State Institutions that need reforming, and it would be one of his first duties to see that these institu- tions were reformed. He advocated the opening of a free market in San Fran- cisco, where the farmers of this State would have an outlét for their produce. He also declared in favar of the initia- tive and referendum. He referred to the fact that Oregon and Washington had elected Democratic Governors. and no blight or panic had as yet visited these States. California, said Lane, needed young men in the State offices who had high ideals—men who would conduct the af- fairs of the State for the benefit of the people, and not for the benefit of the politicians. Lane referred to his record as City and County Attorney of San Francisco, and id that he stood up6n that record and, to show how the peopie of that eity re- garded him, he said that he has been as- sured that he would carry San Francisco by 15000 majority and that the Repub- lican majority in Alameda County would bé reduced to less than 1500. Lane had but a short time to speak, as he was rushed back to Tulare in a spe- cial train to catch the Owl, as he Is billed to speak in San Bernardino to-morrow night. SECRETARY OF TREASURY DISCUSSES THE CAMPAIGN Says There Is No Issue Between the Two Great Political Parties. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 20.—Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury, ad- Gressed a large and eathusiastic gather- ing at Tomlinson Hall in this ecity 0~ night. He said in part: Both parties complain this year of great lethargy and apathy on the part of the people. The reason is simple. There is no issue be- tween the parties. The Republican periy pre- sents its time-honored, time-tested principles of sound money. stable currency—in other words, good, reliable business tools and equip- ments, implements of trade—and. its equally time-honored and time-tested principle of pro- tection to American labor and a conservative, stable, liberal policy toward the people Inbab- iting our insular possessions. Our political opponents present nothing in opposition. The only criticism I have to offer to-night of our political opponents is this: They seem to be more anxious to discover an issue om which they may win a campaign than they have to formulate a policy for wise government after they have won their campaign. It is due an intelligent people that there shall presented for their consideration at the polls the principles of progressive policies and pwo- gressive measures. 1 regret the Issue is not between the personnel of office holders, but be- tween a party with a plan, a purpose, an aim, a hope and a party that has nothing to pro- pose, no issue to present, and no one leader Tn whom more than 33 1-3 per cent of their adherents have any confidence whatsoever. RS ORATOR S. M. SHORTRIDGE TO ADDRESS ALAMEDANS Will Speak at Rally and Mass-Meet- ing to Be Held in Armory Hall To-Night. ALAMEDA, Oct. 20.—Samuel M. Short- ridge will be the orator of the evening at the big Republican rally and mass-meet- ing to be held in Armory Hall to-merrow night. It is planned to make the gather- ing one of the largest and most import- ant that has yet been arranged and con- ducted by local Republicans. Dr. Charles L. Tisdale will preside as chairman of the meeting. Joseph H.
