Special Dispatch to The Call. APA, Oct. 24.—Had the opera- * house been twlce its size it 1d not have accommodated the tremendous crowd that turned out this evening to sreet George C. Pardee, the Republican nominee for Governor. Inclement weather could not keep the voters of the city away from the meeting. In the audienze were many members of the fair sex, who manifested deep interest in the speeches made by the head of the Republican ticket and by Judge John F. Davis of Amador Coun Pardee arrived in this city by special train. As soon as he reached Napa bombs were exploded, bonfires lighted s set off in his honor. Fe interior of the opera-house was handsomely decorated. Ray Benjamin, a popular young Republican of Napa, in- iroduced Pardee, who was interrupted by ise throughout his speech.

I want them to say that ‘my dad had something to do with thé upbuilding of California.” ™ Mr. Tracey, an expert on the autoharp, piayel a number of selections, after which Chairman Benjamin introduced Scnator Davis. The Senator’s address was fercible and eloquent. After a eulo- £y of Roosevelt the.Senator quoted the Democratic State platform and showed the planks in it which_ constituted the danger signals which had frightened Lane from a discussion of its conténts. He ridiculed the inconsistencies of the | platform, which in one clause stood for revenue only and in another sought to arraign the administration for not pro- tecting the beet sugar industry; and he scoffed at the spectacle of every Demo- cratic candidate for Congress proclaiming bimself in favor of protecting the indus- tries of his own district, when every sane man knew that in the caucuses of his party at Washington he would be com- pelled to stand upon the national plank repudiating all protection. Lene’s discourse on irrigation, he said, was a leaf torn from the message of President Roosevelt. But it was when he commented on Lane’s “nerve” in the eu- logy which the latter nightly gave to Roosevelt that the Judge scored. He said: Two years from now, whether he will it or not, no matter what opposition the self inter- est’of hostile combinations may place in his path, the leaders and the file of the Republi- can ‘party will insist upon renominating for Fresident thet couragevus, Sincer: and clear- headed ‘man, the first citizen of the republic, Theodore kuosevell. (Chewrs.) He is fuitiing the uncompleted prograjnme formed for the upbuilding and glory ©f the nation by the administration of President Willlam McKinley. (Applause.) His conservatism guarantees that be will attack the so'ution of all problems with remedies that gge sane and his courage and sincerity are a guarantee that he will , duty and no difficulty. He isiin touch with all the “legitimate aspirations of the common people that make for their ad- vancement and ior the sdvancement of ife ha- tion. The bread winners of the countr§, too, know that he is their friend. The opposition cundidate for Governor knows that, especially since the President’s masterly stroke in sei- tling the coal strike, there ix no living name vearer the hearts of the American people to conjure with than that of the President. And s0, he nightly attempts to steal the hearts of the people of this State by eulogizing him to the skies. Yet it the opposition candidate for Governor should be elected he will use all the moral force, if nothing more, of his admin- istration to Geleat fiouseveil. (Applause.) The meeting closed with tremendous cheering for Dr. Pardee. The latter then neld an informal reception and greeted many of the voters and their wives and daughters, —_— PARDEE IN ST. HELENA. ST.

AN MATEO, Oct. 24.—Despite the inclement weather, the people of San Mateo turned out in large numbers to-night to hear the is- sues of the campalgn discussed from a Republican standpoint by Con- gressmen Loud and McLacalan. ‘The le- cal band discoursed popular a'rs and Li- brary Hall was crowded witn residents. G. W. Dickle was chairman of the meet- ing and John Coleman, George C. Ross, John Morton and E. A. Husing wero chosen as vice presidents and occupied seats upon the stage. Chairman Dickie, in a short speech, in- troduced Loud, who was greeted:with ap- plause. Loud said he stood with and up- held ghe principles of the Republican par- ty. dwelt at length on the tarl¥ ques- tion and showed that to the Republican party and its policy was due the present prosperity enjoved by tae people As to the trusts, the speaker said it would take time to solve this problem, and it must not be done in the heat of passion. Dem- ocrats and Republicans alike were to blame for the tpusts. If the Republican party had brought the country to the highest state of prosper- ity, andAf the greatest depression in its | history had occurred under Democratic rule, why, asked Loud, was a change de- sired? More and . greater things for the good of the country had been done dur- ing the last five years than in the fifty years previously. The postal laws and the letter carrier bill were fully and clearly expiained. The railway mail service was also described in detail. Loud said his greatest desire was that Republicans be sent to Congress to up- hold President Roosevelt's administration. He was satisfied with the Republican par ty and if elected would coutinue to fol- low its banner. He would not attempt to deceive any man to secare vots, Loud urged the election of the Repub- lican candidate for Governor, Dr. Far- dee. At the close of his speech he was loudly cheered. McLACHLAN’S GLOWING TRIBUTE TO COLLEAGUE Tells Why Californians Should Re- turn Republicans to Con- gress. Congressman McLachlan followed Loud, to whom he pald a glowing tribute. £aid he: “Under our form of government, every patriotic and sincere American citizen has a most sacred duty to perform upon elec- tion day. On that day he expresses his desire, by the ballot, for the welfare of his community, his_State and the na- tion. The time is near at hand when every loyal citizen will discharge that solemn obligation, and, while I am some- what of a stranger to you, I trust I'can because yvour interests and those of my own constituents are so nearly identical, bring to bear upen you the pressure of my convictions 80 far as they ‘relate to you, your prosperity and happiness. “T am in the heart of the fruit-raising industry of the State and its allied inter- ests and perhaps I can sef some of the people of Santa Clara County to thinking, as well as those of San Mateo, by ex- pressing myself plainly upon a proposi- tion tgmt must be worked out Fight by you on election day—namely, the elec- tion of your Congressman. Remember that the silent use of the ballot is as potential in the hands of the untbinking, unreason- ing and prejudiced as in'those of the high- minded, cledr-headed and dutiful citizens. Bear in mind that any governmental pol- jey put into effect by a party will affect all classes alike, and the influence of your Representative in Congress can be exerted either in favor of your material welfare or against it. If favorable all' will be benefited and if against it all will suffer. Don't forget that. > “Republicans have been in control of our nation for forty vears, with the ex- ception of one administration, that of Mr. Cleveland. All. legislation that stands on the statiite books to-day that inures to the benefit of you, as a people, avss enacted by that party. Every indus- try thrives upon it, every 'vproduct re- ceives a value from it, and every manu facturer conducts his business and pays his wages upon it, and every happiness we now have rests upon it. I believe you all realize it, and, when you stop to consider, agree to it. This fertile valley draws its sustenance from Republicanism by thriv- ing upon its policy of protection, and sells its products for prices high enough and in a market large enough because of the great stimulation -of thrift produced by Republican policies. Every two years you must axyrm/ your approval for or against Warm Words of Praise by: a - "~ Colleague. + > these policies, and I have come here to remind you that they are being attacked, their effectiveness ridiculed and their genuineness’ disputed. DEMOCRACY ASSAILS PROSPERITY OF NATION Would Bring About ‘a Return to Con- ditions During Cleveland’s Second Term. “A few years ago the California hus- handman found his markets ruined. When shipping his products to the East the de- mand for freight exceeded his check for his product. The ocean was dotted with ships of foreign nations, their prows turned this way and their holds filled with cargoes seeking markets here in competi- tion with vou. Our Populistic-Democrats stood with them and against you; they legislated as far as possible for them and turned a deaf ear to the entreaties of their own people. The result is still fresh ‘in your memory. At the first opportunity the people of the nation sought to change this condition, and in 189% a Republican President and Congress were elected. To- day that party is in entire control of the admini#trative affairs “of the country. Since the inauguration of McKinley new and greatly improved legislation has been enacted to revitalize and stimulate all the business resources of the people, so to- day we are in the midst of the beneficial effects of such legislation. “Silently creeping up from behind comes the monster of destruction again. The Llegislation is assafled with wanton argu- ment and worthless protest. Do you, the people of this community, of this county, of Santa Clara County, and the entire Fifth Congressional District, realize it, and are you ready to meet and refute it? “I will relate the experience of my dis- trict in Southern California to show the peculiar manner in which people’s minds sometimes work. In 1896 T was defeated for Congress. My constituency was com- posed of the great fruit-raising people of Southern Californfa, the growers of Ooranges, lemons, prunes, nuts and raisins and manufacturers of wines; In fact every product of our State that had been made to thrive through a protective policy. My successor pledged himself before the peo- ple to throw down the bars and destroy their business, but under the exclitement of the time he was elected by a smali majority. After the election the people of my district suddenly realized the fact that they had made a most serious mis- take. An extra session of the Fifty-fifth Congress was called by President McKin- ley to enact new tariff legislation, and my people found themseives in the po- sition of having a Representative in Con- gress who was. fighting. their interests and allying himself with the opposition to the Dingley bill. What did they do? They went into their pockets and raised funds to send me back to Washington to use every effort in my power with Con- gress to thwart the actions of their Rep- resentative-elect, who was standing with our foreign enemies. And what did these forelgn enémles do? They spent money like water and they used every effort in their power to bulldoze und bribe Con- gress. The Ministers of foreign Govern- ments interested in the overthrow of our fruit and wine industries panded them- selves together, fought the tariff sched- ules like tigers, and with them at all times and behind them was the great opposition party. I sat in the gallery of the House of Representatives and saw the former Representative of our district vote against the bill that carried an in- crease of duty on all the valuable pro- ducts of our State, and with shame I heard him denounce the tariff that was to make us prosperous. LOUD IN ""HE FOREFRONT OF THE PEOPLE’'S BATTLE Resourceful and Courageous in His Work on Behalf of tk> Golden State. “California fought that battle single- handed and alone, and by my side always was your powerful Representative, Mr. Loud, with a brain of limitless resources and courage of steel. He was a constant source of power in the discussions that arose in the preparation or that bill, and before I sit down I want to speak of Mr. Loud's services and career in Congress. “During the strained times incident to a compaign, when publie excitement runs more or less high and lines between rolitical partles are more closely drawn, personal commendation of a public man who is a candidate is looked upon with some misgiving, but I know that even as a speaker upon the same platform, I can- 1ot overstep for a moment the bounds of propriety or reason in drawing the atten- tion of those at this meeting, the people of this community dnd the people of the county, to the eminent services of your rresent Representative in Congress, Hon: E. F. Loud, and his high station in our pation. Waiving politicai considerations and looking at, the question in its bear- ing upon th> national and State welfare cnly, allow me to say that from the Fifth Congressional District of California comes to the national Congress the great- est postal legislator, and one of the ablest of all legislators in the country. Ana when I say that I am not expressing my own opinion only, but I am giving you the judgment often expressed to me in ‘Washington of the leaders of both great parties—the Democratic and the Repub- lican. I can say, without fear of suc- cessful contradiction, that the Demo- cratic party to-day holds Mr. Loud in as high esteem as do the Republicans of Congress; that it admires his sterling qualities with equal sincerity and bows to his judgment with equal recog- nition. Independent always in his public zcts when his party s not assailed and fearless and sound in deliberation and discussion, he has for years been a tower of strength to the California delegation, when it has sought beneficial legislation for our State. o “During my two terms in Congress he has been my friend and adviser, always clear-headed, high-minded and most hon- orable in his relations with me and those with whom I have worked. “I wonder if the people of the Fifth Congressional District fully realize the importance to it and to the State which the chairmanship of a powerful commit- tee in Congress represents. Doubtless this subject has been referred-to so many times in campaigns that you have grown somewhat used to it, but let me remind you that this State has but one chair- manship and has had but one for years, #o 1 wish to touch the question with as much=vigor as I can, for if this State canuot secure the return to Congress of Mr. Loud it will not only have lost a 1can of great influence and capacity, but with him would vanish a distinction and prestige that should not, under any cir- ESS i | | | CONGRESSMAN WHO IS AD- DRESSING THE FIFTH DIS- TRICT VOTERS.

The United States looks to vou to not fail in your duty to the candi- dacy of your Congressman, nor neglect for a moment the standing of the State. SPEAKER REED’S TRIBUTE TO CALIFORNIAN’S WORTH How Loud Won His Appointment to Important Chairmanship in the House. “Eight years ago when the chairman of the Postoffice Committee was appointed the greatest rivalry existed for the place end the honor. I have been told that Mr. Loud did not make a very active fight, because he probably assumed it would be somewhat useless to attempt to secure the place for California. But he had builded his reputation better than he knew. The place by right zhould have gone to New York and two candidates “rom that great State struggled violently for the chairmanship. “Speaker Reed was much attached to Mr. Loud’s capabilities, but he could not glive the plum to any one without the ap- probation of his party and a satisfaction to himself that no mistake had been made and that the vast machinery of the pos- tal service was to be in most competent and incorruptible hands. I have learned REPUBLICAN GATHERING IN POTRERO Enthusiastic Crowd Greets Prominent Candidates. Hall Is Packed and Live Issues are Discussed. HE voters of the Thirty-first Assembly District heartily in- dorsed the candidates on the Republican ticket, both State and local, at a grand rally held last evening at.the Potrero Opera-house, | Eighteenth and Tennessee streets. De- spite the rainstorm the hall was packed with an enthusfastic audlence, largely composed of the working classes. The sentiments of the speakers as expressed | from the platform were loudly applauded. In the streets.large bonfires blazed and bands played. Each candidate and speaker as he arrived was cheered and escorted into the hall. People tramped for many blocks through the mud and rain to be present and listened attentively until the last orator had concluded. The meéting on the whole was considered one of the most successful ever held in the district. The Potrero Pardee Club, W. Sy- mons secretary, had charge of the meet- ing. G. C. Dunn, one of the most prom- inent men in the district, presided, and after a brief address presented each speaker In turn. Among those on the = - & STATE SENATOR WHO IS AS- SISTING IN CAPTAIN DAN- IELS’ CAMPAIGN. i e - e that a committee composed of Mr. Reed's | platform was Elwood Bruner of Sacra- closest advisers waited upon him and in- formed him that there seemed to be but one thing to do and that was to give the chairmanship of the Postoffice Committee to Loud of the far-distant State cf Cali- fornia; that his fitness was unquestioned, his parliamentary experience ample and his character worthy of absolute trust. It was done and he has proved to be the wisest and mg#t progressive chairman that committee ever had. “I do not exaggerate when I say.that Mr. Loud’s influence is not alone forceful in the House of Representatives, but in the Senate also, he being a warm friend of Senator Allison, the leader in that body. And it must not be forgotten that by virtue of the reciprocal relations that exist between all chairmen of committees he has control of ways and means for securing benefits to this State that belong to no other member of our delegation in Congress. “The postal service of this Government costs this year about $140,000,000, and it is steadily growing. The assignment of this vast sum to the different branches of the service is absolutely in the hands of Mr. Loud’s committee, and the manage- ment of this popular bill upon the floor of the House requires a skill in debate, a fearlessness and a knowledge of the busi- ness resources of the nation that cannot be assalled. “I come to appeal to the peoplé of this district to make Mr. Loud's election cer- tain. The State and nation need such men, and upon every citizen of this com- munity and all others in the Fifth Con- gressional District rests a great respon- sibility. f “I desire also, fellow-citizens, call your attention to the fact that it is an unwritten law in the lower House of Con- gress that a new man, no matter what his qualifications or ability, is invariably assigned to a position on the most n- ferior committees and to the lowest round on those committees. By that same un- written law, no matter what the ability of a man may be who shafl supersede an 6lder member of the House, he will be given no opportunity to demonstrate his fitness for a long time, even though he | may belong to the party im power. But if he all belong to the party of the oppositfon he must certainly be relegated entirely. to the rear and remain there, impotent and valueless.” : The meeting was the most enthusiastic held in San Mateo in years and this city will roll up a good majority for Loud, Pardee and the rest of the Republican ticket. Rally of Marysville Republicans. MARYSVILLE, Oct. 24.—For the second time this week Hopkins Hall was (o- night the scene of a large political gath- ering, despite the rain that has fallen nearly all day. The ratification was in honor of the Republican county candi- Qates, pearly all of whom were present | on the platform. Music by the Marys- | ville bana early in the evening on the street helped to attract a throng and when Chairman J. P. Swift called the meeting to order a large number had as- sembled. Colonel T. V.

Julius Kahn appeared later and his appearance was the signal for a burst of applause, which did not subside for several minutes. Candidates for State offices were there to address the audience and were followed by aspirants for local offices. ‘When Chairman Dunn,had concluded his opening address W. C. Van Flcet was introduced and dwelt at some length on the vital issues of the campalgn and on the necessity of installing orly Re- publicans in office. He spoke of the pros- perity the State and country at large were enjoying as a result of a Republican administration and urged those who con- trolled the trend of policy by the right of suffrage not to cast the lot of the people with a party whose previous tenure of office only wrought distress and ruln. KAHN IS WARMLY RECEIVED. Judge Carroll Cook was next presented and redeived a warm welcome. In part Cook said: “It is not becoming of a can- didate for a judicial office to discuss is- sues in a campaign. When people come into court politics are forgotten and justice is distributed to all regardless of party or color and whether they be mil- lionaires or paupers. All stand equal when they enter the temple of justice in this great land of ours. If my past record has been satisfactory I will consider it an I can only promise that in my administration of criminal law to treat all alike thout fear, prejudice or favor.” In introducing Congressman Kahn the chairman referred to Kahn's brillfant rec- ord in Congress and said that it was with ease that he could present him to the Po- trero voters. When Kahn stepped for- ward he was greeted with cheers, and it was several minutes before pandemonium subsided sufficlently to permit him to be heard. Kahn thanked his audience for coming out on such a stormy night to listen to himself and the other speakers of the evening. Then he combated the as- sertion that the party of which he Is a member is opposed to the laboring man. He referred to Lincoln, Garfleld, Hayes, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt as rising from the ranks of the working people and said that everything that had ever been accomplished for the toilers in the way of legislation or executive dictation had been done by Republican officeholders. The prosperity enjoyed by this country at present cannot well be overlooked. Five years ago, and w){en William McKinley became President, ‘the condition of the land was doleful. Its national debt had been increased by a Democratic President while peace prevailed and 3,000,000 men were ldle. Now occupation is plenty, fac- tories are running and the treasury is be- ginning to fill up. Following Adam Andrew, candidate for Rallroad Commissioner, and R. H. Web- ster, aspirant for Superintendent of Schools, came Elwood Bruner of Sacra- mento. Bruner said in part: BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.

CAMPBELL STIRS OLD MENDOCINO Ukiahans Cheer the Eloquent San Franciscan. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. - e KIAH, Oct. 24—In times past this was hard and fast Demo- cratic_territory and for many years the Republicans, recog= nizing the apparemt hopeless- ness of electing their county ahd district tickets, permitted the opposition to win by default. But not so now. Since the ad- vent of J. L. McNab, brother of “Boss™ McNab, into this community, and his as- sumption of the reins of loced-teadership, there has been a marked cnange of sentl- ment hereabouts until now, on the eve of balloting day, McNab is confident of a majorit® of at least 150 for Pardee in Mendocino County. The Republicans, under the leadership of McNab—who, by the way, has more honest influence in this section than has his “boss’” brother in San Francisco—have been fighting tooth and nail since the in- ception of the campaign. Congressman Frank f. Coombs, who represents the new Second Congressional District, has been here on several occa- sions talking to Uklahans on the ques- tions of the campaign. Other Republican speakers have invaded the fleld, whoop- ing it up for Pardee anc the State ticket. But the big rally of the year was re- served for to-night, when Hon. J. C. Campbell of San Francisco came bill- boarded and three-sheeted for miles around as “California’s great orator.” Here everybody who Is anybody knows Campbell and everybody likes him. .He Is just plain “Joe’” up here. He is Honor- able J. C. Campbell down in the metropo- Iis, all right, but somehow these “high- falutin’ ”* titles don’t sound right to Ukfahans, so they still know him fondly as “Joe.” A regular old time hurrah was accorded the San Francisco man to-night in Smith's Opera-house, where a vast number of residents had gathered to bid him wei- come and to listen to his polished disser- tation on the issues of the campaign. On his arrival here this afternoon. on the California Northwestern flyer Camp- bell was met by Chairman McNab of the County Committes and a delegation of citizens who were awaiting his coming at the Palace Hotel. The Ukiah band as- sembled in front of the hotel and sere- naded the distinguished speaker until time for the meeting to begin. The .opera-house was crowded when Chairman McNab rapped for order. Sev- eral of the local candidates occupied seats on the platform. McNab spoke briefly, as did T. L. Carothers. When Carothers sat down, Chairman McNab presented Camp- bell, who was greeted with a rousing cheer. The speaker was at home with his aud!- ence instantly. He began with a brief dis- cussion of local issues and then took up the tarlff question, which he discussed learnedly at considerable length, saying that it in a great measure was responsi ble for the prosperity of the country. The hands of the administration should be up- held, he sald_and it was necessary that California send a Republican delegation to Washington in order to help carry out the good work begun by the Republican party. Campbell paid his respects to Candidale Lane in characteristic manner and closed with a flattering eulogy of Pardee. ‘The audience cheered lustily. Campbell will leave here on the early train to-morrow for Sacramento, where he is billed to speak with Samuel M. Shortridge to-morrow night. @il O to mors than & million. During years 1 have lived through its perity and fts adversities. At times in- dustries were booming and later the wolf howled at many doors.

Should you consider principle, home, family and your future, then vote for that party that gives you opportunity to live In a fres land and to enjoy its bountles. If you want to sus- those pros- | tain the policy of protection to American labor and prolong the period of prosperity, send men 1o the Legislature who will vote for a Repub- Hean Senator. Bruner called the attention of the Dem- ocrats present to the attitude of the Dem- ocratic State Central Committee In the campaign. He accused its members _of using every exertion to elect Lane and of disregarding fhe balance of the ticket. “So,” the speaker said, “if you have any friend on that ticket other than the can- didate for Governor tell him not to expect assistance from that committee,” E—— Livingston Jenks deserves your support for Superior Judge.
