Puts in a Busy Day and Makes Speech at Night. Special Dispatch to The Call. UREKA, Oct. 2%5.—Franklin XK. Lane, accompanied by Alexan- der J. Rosborough, Demo- cratic nominee for Secretary of State; John H. Marble of the Typographical Union and Dr. F. J. Lane, arrived on the steamer Pomona this morning. The party was met by 2 committee of Democrats and escorted to the hetel The day has been a busy one with the nominee for Governor. From early morning until late in the afternoon he was engaged in meeting the men at the mills and wherever he found a group of toilers. The County Central Committee had arranged to have Lane meet the mill- | men at the Dolbeer and Carson plant at noon. As he alighted from his carriage he was given a hearty cheer. When din- ner was announced Lane and his party entered the cookhouse and took the mid- day meal with the hardy sons of toil. His visit, and particularly his dining with them, seemed to please the millmen greatly. Lane had his appetite with him and ate a hearty meal. When asked about the political outlook he sald: Just tell them all is well and coming our way. You can scarcely imagine the Wave of enthusiasm that is sweeping the State. I tell you it is full of ginger and nothing can stop it. The unions and laboring men are with us and that is all we want. I am satisfied to rest the cause with the people of this great State where heart. Lane was joined by Thomas S. Ford, nominee for Congress in the First Dis- trict, and W. J. McGee, who have been campaigning in both Northern and South- ern Humboldt. The rally in Occidental Pavilion was extremely enthusiastic. The immense hall was crowded, trains from both ends | of the county having carried great num- bers of people who were anxious to see of the California Democracy. The meeting was called to order by L. F. Puter, chairman of the County Central Committee. Hon. J. P. Haynes acted as chairman. The vice presidents were {seventy-five leading Democrats from e various precincts. The orators spoke in the following or- der: R. A. Thorpe, nominee for the As- sembly in the Second District; Alexander J. Rosborough, T, 8. Ford, W. J. McGee, | John H. Marble and Franklin K. Lane. The enthusiasm of the meeting was great and the hall was packed to the doors. When Lane appeared there was prolonged applause, and nearly every mention of his name was cheered. Lane was the last speaker. He de- clared there was no normal Republican majority in California, and burlesqued the argument used by the Republican orators to defeat him. Thorpe, nominee for the Assembly, pledged himself to support T. J. Geary for United States Senator, and attacked the political record of Senator Perkins. Thomas S. Ford, nominee for Congress, declared he was a mining man, but would deal fairly with the interests of the agri- cultural counties, if elected. Alexander Rosborough, nominee for Sec- tary of State, predicted a Democratic tidal wave. The party will leave to-morrow on the Pomona for San Francisco. Coleman and Butler in Angels. ANGELS CAMP, Oct. 25.—Samuel But- ler and James V. Coleman to-night ad- dressed one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the town of Angels. The speakers were escorted from the residence of Coleman at the Angels quartz mine by the local band to Dollings Hall. - But- ler, president of the Grass Valley Miners' Union, appealed to the laboring men to vote for Lane. When Coleman was intro- duced the applaule was great. Livingston Jenks is an ideal cholce for Superior Judge. Remember the name. * Loyal Rebgkahs to Entgrtain.

[ SR ” b Name \ AKLAND, Oct. 2%.—With a blaze of red fire, brilliant pyro- technics, uniformed marching clubs and hundreds of fiickering torches the Republicans of Oak- land to-night' gave a splendid welcome to Senator John F. Davis of Amador, E. My- ron Wolf of San Francisco and Judge Henry A. Melvin of Oakland, who were the principal speakers at the big meeting held at the Exposition building. Before the speakers arrived at the au- ditorium there was a parade through the business section, the Republican Alli- ance and the Young Men's Republican League drill corps making a brave show- ing. as escorts to the guests of the even- ing, who included the gentlemen already named and Clarence Crowell, chairman of the Republican County Central Commit- tee: Alexander Brown of Calaveras, Re- publican nominee for member of the State Board of Equalization from the Second District, to succeed himself; Charles D. Fontana, chairman of the Republican Central Committee of Calaveras County; Superior Judge John Ellsworth, G. Rus- zell Lukens and John A. Britton, presi- dent of the evening. ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS. The paraders left a trail of sizzling rockets and brilllant roman candles through the streets, warming up the crowds that gathered along the thorough- fares in response to the attractions of the marching men, martfal music and cheer- ing Republicans. All along the route there was 2 noticeable enthusiasm. On the street corners were hundreds - of young and old men who heartily cheered the procession and those who had come from abroad to give zest to the campaign. It was a good, old-fashioned political demonstration, the enthusiasm of the street crowds as well as of the big audi- ence that assembled at the Exposition building attesting the interest which the Republicans of Alameda County are tak- ing in the campaign. Pardee’s name, whenever mentioned by the speakers, was the signal for great cheering and applause. On all sides it was declared that this was one of the largest meetifligs held about the bay during the campaign. The speakers emphasized the point that in the midst of prosperity and the best of conditions it would not only be un- wise buc the height of folly to change the political aspect, or, by voting the Demo- cratic ticket, to throw even the slightest obstacle in the path of the Republican administration, State and national, which had contributed so largely to bring about the splendid prosperity which: exists in California and the whole United States. THE VICE PRESIDENTS. In the Exvosition building the national colors formed a framework for numerous pictures of the Republican leaders, those of McKinley, Roosevelt and Pardee be- ing conspicuous. With their bands of musicians the Re- publican Alliance and the Young Men's Republican League Drill Corps, nattily uniformed, made an imposing background for the speakers’ rostrum. Prominent Re- publicans were in the lengthy list of vice presidents who were given places on the platform. They were as follows: Guy C. Earl,>W. V. Witcher, E. M. Hall Jr., F. E. Brigham, F. .

Crowell, chairman of the county committee, Call‘d the meeting to order, the Exp®sition "building Was packed to the doors. The body of the hcuse was a sea of faces and the gallery was filled to the limit. As the uniformed clubs filed in to take thelr seats back of the platform a great shout went up from the crowd and it was echoed by the men in uniform, who responded to calls for cheers for Dr. Pardee and Metcalf and John A. Britton. In introducing John A. Britton as chairman of the meeting, Chairman Crowell said: Two months ago we met in the Macdonough Theater to ratify the nominatien of Dr. Pardee to the high office of Governor of this State. I took occasion to say that the people of Alameda County would give him the largest majority ever given to any candidate in this county. As chairman of the County Committee I have care- fully watched the progress of this campaign and I must say that I have found no reason to change the opinion I then expressed. Now, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleas- ure to introduce to you as chairman of the evening the man who placed Dr. Pardee in | nomination before the convention at Sacra- ‘mento—John A. Britton. Mr. Britton was not allowed to pro- ceed for several minutes, so noisy a re- ception did he receive. Then he bowed his acknowledgments and said: Friends and Neighbors: This ovation to a humble citizen and not a politiclan makes me pause. It makes me feel as if I were running for Governor on the Republican ticket. 1 am glad to_welcome you here to-night. I am glad to welcome the ladies, of whom I see a great many in the audience. If T were run- ning for office I should make most of my ap- peals to the ladies, because If a woman gets an idea into her head that a thing is right she will try to convince everybody else to her way of thinking, and that is what some men won't do. TWO ISSUES IN CAMPAIGN. There are two Issues in this campaign, and they. may be put in the form of interrogatories. One is, Are you satisfied with the governmeni that the Republican party has been givnig you? The other is, Is it the party for the laboring man? Has not this era of unparalleled pros- perity proved that the Republican party is the only ‘one that will give us the kind of govern- ing we want? Has it not proven that the sal- vation of the laboring man iles with that party ? During the last five years we have had nothing else but prosperity. That is the lssue in this campaign, There never was a time when labor was so well off as it is now. No one has had more to do with labor than I have. No one has had. to dea] with so many laboring conditions. And yet I have never had any trouble with la- bor. T suppose the secret of ity{s that I have trfed to deal justly with labor.® It is their or- ganization that has helped the workingman, not anything else. I want to say that there Is no greater friend of the laboring man than Dr. George C. Pardee, that steriing son of California, who heads your ticket, I belleve Dr. Pardee is the laboring man’s friend because he has a high sense of justice and that always counts, 1 wish I could talk more on these subjects, because my heart and soul are in them, but I cannot. I'm for the whole ticket and nothing but the ticket and I know vou'll all help to roll up the great majority that we all antici- pate. The Pardee Quartet, consisting of Charles Learn, Frank Ayres, -Charles Hart and Everett Dowdle, rendered some amusing campaign songs, and then Chairman, Britton introduced Superior Judge Henry A. Melvin. Judge Melvin sald in part: ONLY IN THE RANKS. I don't want to appear before you under false colors. I am here just to fill in, as it were. Iam not one of-the epauletted generals, merely & high private In the rear rank. The generals of this occasion are my friends, Sen- ator Davis and Myron Wolf, who are to follow me on this platform. I might call them the sixteen-inch guns that have been got ready to fire off all the Republican logic that will be aimed at us to-night. I wish I had the time to tell you of the achlevements of the great Republican pafty—of Lincoln and Garfleld and Grant, the martyred McKinley, and the man now giving' us the best there Is in him at ‘Washington—Theodore Roosevelt. But I would rather speak to you on the subject of local pride. General Barnes once snid that California was a pl,: Where they did nothiug but raise the knotker tree and the hammer fruit. Time was when the acres of this country raised nothing but knocker trees and hammer vines. It has been said that the population of this county was 100,000 and that most of it was made up of hlacksmiths. But we've outgrawn the knocker period—we’ve outgrown the knocker. We are cultivating the bm/ ter, rather. We are getting men to talk s 1 ¢ | CHAIRMAN OF REPUBLICAN RALLY IN OAKLAND AND PRIN- CIPAL SPEAKER OF EVENING. 4 Brilliant Parade Pre- - cedes Meeting. - - now. ot the glorious present and what grand things the future has_ in store for us. So long as we cultivate this habit, -this feeling, we will go forward and the -day of the knocker will cease, We have within our.borders one of the finest educational institutions of the West, where the children of the rich and the poor may have pcured out to them the intellectual truths of the world, “JUST FOR LOCAL PRIDE.” ‘We gent 2 man out there to receive that edu- cation. He went there to learn and learn well, not perfunctorily. Then he went to foreign schools, where be received honors, and returnsd to his native State to achieve something in his chosen brofession, and his name is Dr. Geozge C. Pardee. _He s the man we want for our Governor. He is the man to work for. It seems to me that it is your duty to go out into the vineyard and help gather votes for him. Why, if the people of this county would only wake up and enthuse for him he would get at least 25,000 of the 30,060 votes that are to be cast at thiselection. 'Why, if 1 were a Democrat, Hopulist, . Soclalist, Greenbacker, & Mormon and a horssthief ali rolled into one I'd vote for him Just for local pride. A don’t want to retire without saying a word about Dr, Pardee's private life. I knew him long before he ever thought of running for office. I know him for his unylelding manli- ness. 1 know him for his charities. He is a plain citizen, as he is fond of calling himself. They call him an aristocrat. Never was a greater misnomer applied to a man. And so I say to this splendid augdience, “Go out intc the vineyard and gather votes for him and roll up a great majority, for he is the man most deserving of it."” NATIONAL ISSUES INVOLVED. E. Myron Wolf, who was enthusias- tically received, showed conclusively how national Issues were involved in the pres- ent campaign. His reference to Pardee brought down the house. In part Wolf sald: The Democratic candidate preaches free books as one of his catch doctrines. We now have books practically at cost. He also says he favors free wharves In San Francisco. _It does not appear that there is any great de- mand for such wharves. The board of Re- publican Harbor Commissioners will provide them when they are needed. That party which settled all our troubles in adversity can surely settle our troubles in our days of prosperity. This is a period of combinations and trusts. 1f evil follows as a result the Republican party will remedy it, as it has remedied other evils that have arisen in the history of our country. The day of the labor problem has gone. That existed in the time of Cleveland, .when men were looking for labor. Everybody to-day Is at work; prosperity surrounds us on all sides and we have no time to bother ourselves with catch probleme. The worst enemy of the workingman is the man who tries to work the werkingman. Our duty is to support the party of McKinley and Roosevelt that har brought us prosperity. Friends of Alameda County, the eyes of the wholé State are upon you. Act right. Make your vote for Pardee and Anderson practically unanimous. It seems to me that you dare not refuse to give to the entire Republican ticket from Pardee down an overwhelming majority. MINING SECTIONS IN LINE. Senator John F. Davis of Amador Coun- ty was introduced by Chairman Britton as a consistent friend of Dr. Pardee—one who had stood by Oakland’s favorite son when he first sought the gubernatorial nomination four years ago. In part Sen- ator Davis said: 1 bring you assuring tidings from the mining section whence I come. That portion of Califor- nia_made famous by the heroes of Bret Harte is for Pardee. We do not even take second place to Alameda County in the pride we feel in_having such a sterling man as George C. Pardee as our candidate for Governor of Cali- fornia. o You all remember the days of the Spanish Warj you all remember how the Republican admfnistration under the immortal McKinley conducted it. The result of that war gave us confidence In ourselves. It placed this country at the front as one of the leading nations of the world, _ It gave to California the opportunity that she was walting for half a century, You all know it and feel its effects. Why, then, should any one question or doubt the stewardship of the Republican party? It has always been the Republican party that does things, It has always been the poMcy of the opposition to criticize and do nothing. The Re- Dublican party 1s now in the midst of an un- completed programme. We have important js- sues to work out and complete—the Philippine que on, the isthmian canal, irrigation and other issues of vital importance. They are Re- Publican {ssucs and will be worked out by the Republican party. How any laboring man in this county can in the light of such Republican Dprosperity as now exists vote anything but the Republican ticket is a puzzle to me. The following telegram was read: LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21l.—Hon. Clarence Crowell, chairman Republican County Com- mittee:’ I deeply regret to inform your com. mittee that appointments already made are such that I must deny myself the very great pleasure and honor of being with you on the occasfon referred to. Thanking you for the very great courtesy of your esteemed invitation and hoping for a phenomenal Republican ma- jorfty, 1 remal. yours truly, HENRY T. GAGE. The meeting adjourned with cheers for Pardee, Metcalf and the whole Republi- can ticket. FUTURE GS. The Eden Republican Club of ' Hay- ‘wards will meet Monday night to arrange Cetails for a big Republican meeting te be held Saturday night, at which United States Senator George . Perkins and Samuel M. Shortridge are expectgd to be ihe principal speakars. * | BIG RALLY "OF UNION LABOR MEN Candidates Address Meeting at the Alhambra. Y. Speakers Appeai to Voters for Aid in Fight. HE most important rally yet held under the auspices of the Union Labor party took place last night at the Alhambra Theater. Thousands of voters whose sympathies are with the party or- ganized by the trades unions packed the large edifice to the doors and cheered wildly as-the different speakers of the oc- casion told of the plans and the work of the Unfon Labor party during the present campaign. All the leaders of the party occupled prominent positions on the stage. The principal orators of the party in this city were also present and all were received with great enthusiasm as they were in- troduced. The meeting bore all the earmarks of a rousing big rally and the party. made quite an impression. Bonfires blazed at the corners surrounding the theater and inside the popular. airs of the cam&“‘n songs held sway during each intérmis- sion. Robert Ferral, chairman of the meeting, introduced the first speaker of the even- ing, ‘Walter Macarthur, the noted labor advocate and editor of the Coast Seaman’s Journal. He was loudly cheered as he stepped to the front of the stage and ad- dressed the gathering on the issues at stake. Maéarthur spoke of the aim of the Union Labor party in politics and briefly touched upon the plans and discussed briefly the policy of the party. He men- tioned several of the candidates for of- fice at the coming election and their names were received with cheers by the largc assemblage. CORNELIUS MAKES SPEECH. Macarthur was followed by Richard Cornelius, president of the Carmen's Union, who has taken a very active part in the present campaign. Cornelius dis- cussed the unions as they stood in poli- tics and urged his listeners in an earnest manner to uphold the interests of the perty and vote the Union Labpr ticket straight at the coming election. Cornelius continued further and dis- cussed the way in which the unions have fared during the recent strikes throughout the country. He illustrated to his listen- ers the way in which the tradesman had been trampled under foot by the corpora- tions and urged upon them the necessity of organizing in politics as well as in la- bor in order that they may be in a posi- tion to compete with the powerful trusts and receive what is due them in the struggle for the betterment of their pres- ent conditions. Cornelius’ speech® was favorably re- ceived. At the conclusion of Cornelius’ remarks Chairman Ferral introduced E. J. Livernash, Democratic and Union La- bor nominee for -Congress from the Fourth Distriet. LIVERNASH’S ADDRESS. Livernash’s speech was rather a brief one, but nevertheless it touched upon the vital points of the policy of the Union Labor party. He was very much affected by the reception he recefved and urged the voters to stand by the principles of the party which they so successfully or- ganized. Livernash told briefly of what the State ard the unions wanted in Congress. He touched upon the exclusion question and pledged to work tooth and nail In the in- terests of the union men if he was success- ful in gaining a seat in Congress. Willlam J. Wynn, candidate for Con- gress from the Fifth District on the Democratic and Union Labor tickets, made a short talk on the same lines as the speakers before him. He assured the voters of the two parties that he was out to win and would certainly work in their interests if successful in his fight. Michael Casey, president of the Team- sters’ Union, also spoke on the issues of the campaign and asked for the support of the Union Labor nominees on the ground that they would elevate the posi- ticn of union labor and make the unions stzorger, as well as give them a place with the two large political parties. Andrew Furuseth of the Seamen’s Union was called upon for a speech and re- sponded briefly, but to the point. His speech in substance was much the same as those of the preceding orators. Many of the candidates of the party for city offices were also present, but took no ac- tive part in the proceedings. Red Men’s High Jinks. The large hall in the Red Men's wig- wam, in which Pocahontas Tribe No. 11 of the Improved Order of Red Men gave its smoker and high jinks last Friday night was not adequate to accommodate all who sought admission to listen to the programme. Willlam Henke was sire of the jinks and was assisted by Thomas Fink, W. A. Brown and C. Yeariman. The programme included the following num- bers; Pedestal dance, Master Samuel Smoot; whis tling solo, William Altmann; barytona. solo, Willlam Connolly; music, Standard Band; reci- tations, John Farrell; barytone solo, George Rodgers; club swinging, H. W. Kriber and Otto Rittler; feats of strength, George Schlit- ter of the Olympic Club; violin trio, Louis Jourdain, Joséph Garrissere and Gus Garris- specialties, Messrs.

There wa¥ a liberal supply of cigars dur- ing the evening and at the close of the jinks all repaired to the banquet hall, Where a collation was served. —_——————— Banner Presentation. At the last held meeting of Carnation Lodge of the Degree of Homor, A. O. U, W., L. M. Manzer Jr. presented the lodge withk a set of handsome banners to be used at the several stations in the lodge- room.

N. ‘White Murdered in Dunsmuir, r Body Is Found in Ditch That Supplies the Electric Works, b ¢ ¢ Special Dispatch to The Call. DUNSMUIR, Oct. 25.—Great excitement was caused to-day by the discovery of the body of ex-Constable J. N. White, who, it is believed, was murdered yes- terday by hoboes. This morning H. Scherer, proprietor of the Electric Light Company, found the body of White, who was 65 years old, lying. in the ditch that serves the company with power. Thers was a gash over his left temple and the back of the head was terribly crushed. The Constable had been very active of late trying to rid the town of desperate gangs of hoboes Who have been infesting Dunsmuir.
