Republicans Confident That Pardee Will Be Elected. N evening paper in sympathy with the candidacy of the Democratic nominee for Governor is persist- ent in its assaults on prominent union men who have given their support to Dr. Pardee. T. J. Roberts of the American Raillway Union has been maligned in a most unprincipled manner because he promptly and thoroughly. re- futed a campaign slander against the Republican nominee for Governor.

Advices from the north lead the Re- publican State Central Committee 1o be- lieve that Pardee is still gaining strength in that region of the State and that his majority will approximate that given to McKinley in 180. Last night J. C. Bull, chairman of the Humboldt County Re- publican Committee, said: “You can quote me in The Call as predicting that Humboldt County will give Dr. Pardee 1600 majority.” Fulton G. Berry of Fresno was at Re- publican headquarters ycsterday. He as- Serts that the forecasts ich place Fresno in the Democratic column are all wrong. He expects Republican victory in Fresno. 4 There is considerably conjecture con- cerning the number of votes that will be cast in San Francisco next Tuesday. 188 the city registration was 62,96.

AND LOUD CHEERED Enthusiastic Citizens Greet Leaders at Mowry Hall.: Vigorously Applaud Utterances of the Candidates. ONG before George C. Pardee, the Republican ' candidate for Gover- nor, appeared at Mowry Hall last night the hall < was crowded. When he did appear he was greeted with round after round of hearty applause, that showed that every one of the 1500 voters who crowded the hall was | heartly in accord with him in the clean | battle he is making for gubernatorial | honors, He was greeted with cheer af- | ter cheer as he was introduced by George F. Neal, chairman of the evening, and as he retired from the platform a round | of tumultous applause that almost lifted the roof of the building attested the fact that George C. Pardee was the choice of those within hearing of his voice. Congressman Eugene F. Loud divided with Pardee the honors of the evening. When he appeared in response to a call | from the chairman of the evening there ‘Was tremendous cheering. For several | { | minutes he stood in the center of the stage, unable to commence his speech because of the hand-clapping, cheering and yelling that his presence called forth, #nd it was only after he had raised his kand to command silence that his ad- herents consented to allow him to talk. He was interrupted several times during the progress of his speech by enthusi- astic admirers, who time and again vig- orously applauded his utterances. INTRODUCES PARDEE. The meeting was called to order by former Superior Judge George H. Bahrs, who, after calling the attention of the audierce to the fact that the interests of the people demanded they should sup- port the ticket headed by Pardee, intro- | duced the Republican standard-bearer, who spoke as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: think I am glad t0 be home. think California is a big State. I tell you that I bring you the message that the 11 g0 Republican this year. (Applause.) that you see the next Governor of California before you to-night. (Cheers.) All of you will vote the Republican ticket this | year and two years hence you wifl cast your ballots for President Roostvelt. (Applause.)

You remember the days of the empty dinner pail, when there were three men idle for every man who worked. This was under Democratic rule, and yet there are some who declare that the Democratic party is the friend of the work- ingman. 1 you ‘what single thing has -the | Democratic party done for the laborers of the land. (A voice, “‘Not a thing.”) You're right about that—not a thing. Under its rule there | was destitution, men out of employment, empty | bouses and general wreck. To-day under Re- | publican rule the country is prosperous, every willing hand is employed, houses are occupied and peace prevails. 1 will make no promises to you, for my experience has taught me that he Who promises most performs the least.

With- | out any distinction among men or classes of men I will strive to do my duty and_that is all T can promise you at this time. I thank you. (Cheers.) REFERS TO, 6 RECORD. Carroll Cook, candidaie for Superior Judge, followed Dr. Pardee. Judge Cook submitted his record as a jurist as the best plea he had for the suffrage of the voters, as did also Judge John Hunt, who is also a candidate for re-election. The next speaker was R. B. McClellan, can- didate for Superior Judge, who asked for the support of the voters, promising, in the event of his election, to do all in his power to show by his judicial acts a proper appreciation of the honor con- ferred upon him. Thomas F. Dunne, can- didate for Justice of the Peace, sub- mitted his record during the last four years as the best proof that he is worthy of re-election. W. W. Shdannon, candidate for State Printer, and U. Webb, who is run- ning for Attorney General, were the next speakers. They were both heartily re- | ceived. _ Congressman Eugene F. Loud was then introduced by Chairman Neal. When the applause that greeted his appearance had subsided. he said: From the bottom of my heart I for this genuine reception The candidate for Governor on the Demo- tic ticket in this campaign {s making a per- ! canvass: that showé he desires to be | elected upon his personality and nothing else. | As far as I ani able to judge he is more of a | Republican than anything elee, but if elected | he must by force of necegeity oppose the ad- ministration of.

A E— s l CHAIRMAN AND.ONE OF THE SPEAKERS AT THE ALHAMBRA MEETING. I Republican Nominee for Govern or Given Rousing Reception at the Alhambra. R. GEORGE C. PARBEE'S heart was gladdened by th¢ warmth of the greeting which was given him by the voters of 'this city who crowded the Alhambra Theater last night. The Republican standard | bearer entered the hall in the midst ot Samuel M. Shortridge’s speech. Every‘ man and woman in the hall voiced ap- | proval of the head of the ticket. The | noise could be heard blocks awa; The | velume of sound filled the hall and deaf- ened those present. The enthusiasm was | unbounded. Cheer after cheer was given for the genial physician and he had to bow his acknowledgements time and again Dbefore the assemblage would dis- centinue. The enthusiasm was gratifying to mem- bers of the campaign committee who were present. To them hope of carry- ing this city was renewed and when“the standard bearer informed them that this magnificent reception did not exceed that which he received in other parts of San Francisco they began to feel certain that the voters of this city would stand by Pardee, plenty and prosperity. When the campaign committee looked about the ‘over-crowded house and saw voters standing five deep in the rear of the hall for hours listening to the logical arguments made by the speakers, they regretted that they had not engaged Me- chanics’ Pavilion for the meeting. Hun- dreds were unable to find seats and standing room was likewise at a pre- mium. General George Stone, prominent in the ranks of the party, presided over the big meeting. He introduced E, E. Gates, a brilliant young orator of this city, as the first speaker of the evening. Mr. Gates spoke at length on trusts and ably an- swered the statements made by the Dem- ocratic orators. He was given close atten- tion and frequently interrupted by ap- plause. In part he spoke as follows: PARTY OF WRONGS. Mr. Gates Asserts the Democrats Have Been Guilty of Mistakes. Mr. Chairman, Fellow-citizens and Fellow- laboring Men: This is California’s first elec- tion of the twentieth century. Therefore, like wise builders, for you are the builders of the State and nation, begin your foundations for the future welfare and prosperity of the peo- ple_of the coming vears upon the solid rocks of Republicanism instead of the quicksands of Democracy. The Democratic party is a party of wrongs. 1t was wrong when it fought to keep men slaves. It was wrong when it demanded free trade, It was wrong when it demanded a ‘‘tariff for revenue only. It was wrong when it opposed expansion. It was wrong when it demanded that the people give up our insular possessions—the Ha- wailan Islands and the Philippines—which are #0 _vital to Californla’s trade interests. It was wrong when it demanded a debased currency, and it is Wrong now, when It asks vou for your votes, and says it will do no harm. As in 1892, when they fooled the masses into voting for a “tariff for revenue only,” and ruin and bankruptey followed, o now they would fool you and me upon the same propo- sition in order to gain strength to perpetrate their further wrongs. They.are Wrong now on the trust question. What are these trusts? Two men put their heads and their capital together and embark in trade or manufacture and in a small way give employment to men for profit. . This is a combination which we call a partnership. Several men or hundreds of men unite their capital, evidence it by stock certificates, elect some of. their number as ma: agers, build a large factory or a great railroa give employment to a large number of men, do a great deal of good and some evil, and this combination is what we call a corporation. A number of manufacturing concerns or trad- ing companies, who have large plants—they may be either corporations or individuals— unite their interests in one concern, extend thelr system of operation throughout this country, and in order to increase their business and profit enter into the markets of the foreign nations, thereby increasing their out- put, giving employment to hordes of men, dis- tributing American products throughout all the world, doing some good and some evil, and this is a_combination which wé call a trust. A rumber of workingmen of a certain tgade com. bine together, elect from their numiber their managers, unite the organization of one State or city to an organization of another State or city, do a great deal of good and.some evil, and’ this is a_combination that we call & union, but in reality this, too, is a trust. From the days of Adam up to the present day these combinations have followed as a natural re- sult of civilization and the commercial pros- perity of the country. DEMOCRAT TRUST PLAN. Effecls More Dangerous Than the Combinations Themselves. Now, ‘my friends, the Republican administra- tion, State as well as national, does not pro- pose to stamp out the good, but it does’ pro- pose to regulate and thereby prevent the evil. The only act ever passed in Congress to this end was passed by the Republican party in opposition to the (so-called) Democratic votes. The good must live, but the evil shall die. Tht is the theory of the man who led our armies against Spain and now leads capital and labor into peaceful arbitration, that high-minded statésman and President, Theodore Roosevelt. And we, the by electing Beople ot Callfornia, for our next Governor, George C. Pardee, and the entire Republican ticket, standing as they do upon the platform adopted by the Republican party in this great State, will send the cheer- ing message to President Roosevelt and our sis- ter States that we belleve in him, indorse him and will support him. As opposed to the Republican plan of regu- lating these trusts the plan proposed by the (so-called) Democrats is more dangerous than the trusts themselves, for their platform de- mands that: ““All trus.-made goods to be put on the free list." This means destruction not only to the trusts, but to the competitor of the trusts. It means the free introduction into thie country of the produets of forelgn countries made by foreign pauper labor with which neithcr the trusts nor the competitor of the {rusts can compete. They therefore propcse to drive out of business—First, the competitor of the trusts, and then the trusts, and then what becomes of labor—labor goes unem- ployed. Therefore, on November % let us bury them and their failacy of free trade, and their destructive policy, so deep #hat no human power can resurrect them. Their policy an- nounced in their platform is not only one of destruction but it is wholly ineffective when it comes to any evils that may arise from conibinations of rafiroads or other industriex, thut are wholly internal, for you cannot place a railroad company on' the free list. No, my friends, as has been the case since the days of Lincoln, the Republican party has the true and only golution of this great question, as it has had of every other question of importance which has come before the people of, this great nation. So regulate .these trusts and -their administration that the good will live and the evil shall dle. Would you undo the magnificent work of the greatest President since Washington and Lincoin, the noble, the learned, the martyred McKinley, whose administration and that of his worthy successor—President Roosevelt— has done more for California than any. Dem- ocrat has ever even promised to do. Results have shown that the Republican party fuifiily its promises—while the Democrats promise but never fulfill. 1t is true, T am told, that some capitalists endourage the transforming of your unions into political unions. Why? Because it weakens your power of resisting their en- croach, and it is true that some of your léad- ers in this very city, who are either politically ambitious qr.false to your interests, encourage you to the same end, but you will observe that your true leader, that profound thinker, Samuel Gompers, is unalterably opposed to it. Laboring men, ‘the (so-called) Democracy have used and will continue to use évery device, every trick, every ingenuity known to human minds ‘to séduce you from the Republican par- ty. Your interests have always been, are now, »and always will be with the Republican party. Already the Democrats are seeking to divert the hard earned savings of the laboring men, savings earned by the honest sweat of their brows, which has been paid Into the treasury of the various labor unions of this city, for the protection of the industrial interests of thelr members, diverting, I sa: into the expensive and extravagant channels of politics. For at the convention of the (so- called) Labor party on September 27, 1902, the following resolutions were introduced: ‘Resolved, That the labor unions. should make a change in the old methods of raising funds to conduct their campaign. The unions have a chance to Introduce a reform that will_add to their importance, “‘Resolved, That the unions pay the expenses of the union labor campaign.’ SECURING_ITS RIGHTS. Labor Being Helped to Win Just De- mands by Republicans. . Observe, my friends, that the Democrats not only want your vofes, but your hard earned money as weéll. Of all the devices yet con- ceived the one now being used, of organising your unfons as political parties and putting up Democrats as a labor ticket to catch your votes, Is the most dangerous to the laboring men, because it strikes at the very founda- tion of your organization, and mark you well my words, it followed, will prove to be labor's undoing. Labor and capital may quarrel tween themselves about wages and hours, and rights and wrongs, and labor is slowly but surely getting its just demands, helped on by the Republican party, but labor's interests are identical with capital's interests. Withéut the investment of capital in trads, in mills, in mines, in industries and the increase of the sales of their products. there is no place for' labor. Prosperity and iabor go hand In hand, and the firmness of that clasp depends upon the Republican party. If Republican doctrines fall. prosperity fafls. If prosperity fails, labor fails. As in 1776 our forefathers stood and fought for their goddess “Liberty, £0 now labor rhould stand and fight for their goddese, ‘“‘Prosperity.”” Watch her, men who follow the plow; guarl her, nien who swing the hammer, and keep her, laborers, one and all: smite him, even if he be one of your own ranks, who would take her from you.

PEDDLERS HOLD BIG MEETING Members of the Union .Come Qut Strong for Pardee. /T. J. Roberts Appeals to South Side Voters for Support. prdilie. S F SRR HE Pardee Club of the Twenty- ninth District, composed prin- cipally) of members of the Prod- uce Peddlers’ Union, held a big rally last night at 9% Howard street. Several hundred voters were present and all pledged themselves to vote for Pardee and the entire Repub- lican ticket at the coming clection. The Peddlers' Union has come out strong for Pardee, and the members are steadily working for his success. The rally last night was held under its aus- pices, and both meetings have conirib- uted much toward Republican success. Citairman W. T. Burke called the meet- ing to order. He madc a brief speech in which he outlined the policy of the or- ganizationy and then introduced T. J. Roberts, the Oakland labor leader, who has been working so earnestly in, the in- terest of the Republican candidate for Governor. Roberts made a straightforward talk and appealed to the voters to support Pardee on the ground that he always was the friend of the workingman. Rob- erts told those present How Dr. Pardee had served the strikers during the trouble ameng the employes of the rail- road in 1894, Roberts then said a few words in de- fense of himself. He referred to an ar- ticle published in an evening paper a few nights ago in which he was accused of not belonging to any union and simply making political speeches for his own benefit. Roberts exhibited his union card to the audience. It showed Roberts to be 2 member of the Engineers’ Union in good standing. Roberts ‘concluded his speech by as- suring his listeners that Pardee would do all in his power for the advancement of the werking class if he is elected. Roberts’ speech provoked long rounds of applause for Pardee and the Republi- can’ ticket. Several local crators ad- dressed the meeting at the conclusion of Roberts’ talk, and they were all well re- 1 ceived. R e ] ] WAGE-EARNERS GIVE ASSURANCE. Continued From Page 1, Column 7.

President Kelley called the crowd to or- der and after explaining the purpose of the gathering, introduced Pardee as the next Governor of California, The guber- fatorial candidate was received with cheers and when quiet was restored he terad upon the discussion of the issues without delay. He spoke briefly as fol- lows: DUTY TO THEIR FAMILIES. 1 thank you for this hearty greeting. Com- ing as it does from the hardy workers along the watér front of this great city, from men on Wwhose ardudus toil the industrial life of the commu.ity fs largely dependent, I see in it the signs of a glorious victory for the cause of right, justice and prosperity. The Republican rarly is essentially the party of the working- man. Its policies are directed in the channel of protection to American labor and indu. tries. It is a policy that should commend self especially to the workingmen along the water froat of this great city, because it in- surés to them better wagés and greatly fm- proved conditions. (Applause.) The conditions of labor along this water frout have improved greatly quring the Re- pubiican administration. There is more work, the men get bettcr wages and where one m was employed two vears ago there are now ty at work. Do you care to change this condi- tion of affairs by electing as Governor a man who réoresents vrinciples which- are .dlametri- cally opposed to your interests? (Cries of “No! No!'") You owe it to your wives and children to vote a ticket which insures to them more comforts of life. That end inay be secured by electing the Revublican ticket all the way down, because all of those candi-,| dates are pledged to work In your interests and to maintain the integrity of the State. The Democratic platform is an unstable document and its enforcement by the candidates who are solieiting your votes must inevitably injure the cause of labor and réturn us to the fright- tul “conditions that existed in 1893. Gentle- men, I ask you to remain steadfast. Support the ‘ticket that insures you continued pro: perity, and by the maintenance of Republics Tule at Sacramento for the next four years you will 1nsure’ continued prosperity for the next four years. (Cheers.) W. W. Shannon briefly addresed the as- semblage. He urged his hearers to sup- port the Republican ticker, because it stood for the betterment of labor condi- tions throughout the-State. R. B. McClellan spoke in a similar vein. He was given a cordial reception and at the close of his remarks the meeting ad- journed with thfee cheers for Pardee and the Republican ticket. Before making his way through the throng Pardee was forced to shake hands with dozens of admirers, all of whom predicted for him a sweeping victory in the State. @ i e per) was once a laboring man, and yet his platform denounces the tariff system of the Republican party and declares for tarift for revenue only. Laboring men! Lane would our prosperity by resorting to a flimsy personality that once he was a laboring man. By thi does he mean that he is ng Icnger a laboring man? Why, my friends, we are all laboring men in whatever walks of life—preachers, ' lawyers, teachers, ductors, merchants, _toilers, ‘blacksmiths, carpenters’ carriers of the hod. Laborers, I tell You, labor. ers all of us, striving to make a living, striv. ing to make bread for our wives and children, striving to get as many of the luxuries of lits as circumstances will permit, and Lane telly you to vote for him because once he was a la. boring man. Ah. yes, my friends, he may have been a laboring man once, but the may must be judged now by the company he keeps, and he has deserted the laboring man to join the ranks of the politicians of the wrong party and seeks the highest office of this State as & gift of the people upon a platform which stands for a principle which would rob vou of your prosperity. I tell you to vote for Par- dee and for the Republican candidates, who are the laboring men's true friends, bacause the platform upon which they stand is for a protective tariff, is for the regulation of the evils of the trusts; is for the exclusion of the Chinése; is for a continuance of our Philippine trade and is for labor's best interest—pros. perity. —— BUDD'S TRIP TO NEW YORK.

Noted Orator Stirs En- thusiasm for Pardee and Prosperity. ; Special Dispatch to The Call. TOCKTON, Oct. 28.~Here, in his old home, where he first began a ca- reer in professional and public life which has brought to him a reputa- tion almost national in character, Hon. Joseph C. Campbell of San Francis- co received a flattering ovation to-night. In giving rein to their enthusiasm for George C. Pardee and the other Republi- can nominees, the Republicans of Stock- ton found an opportunity of showing their warm friendship for their former towns- man. It is now close unto a quarter of a cen- tury since “Joe” Campbell, as he is known throughout the fertile San Joa- quin Valley, was actively identified with this community, but the people remember him with a fondness and esteem which would make the heart of even the most cold and reserved palpitate with pardon- able pride. The rally of Republicans in Masonic Music Hall to-night—the last big Republi- can assemblage of the campaign—was a monster affair, one of the biggest meet- ings the Republicans have had since the Sacramento- convention. Dr. Pardee has been here; so have Lituerield and Short- ridge and Senator Perkins, and all the meetings have been largely atteaded, but the outpouring to-night compared favor- ably with any similar meeting of the campaign. When things are runming along in the smooth and even temor of their way, this is normally a Republican community and there is nothing to indi- cate that it will break away from the Grand Old Party column at the forth- coming election, but if there ever had been any serious doubt as to the feeling of the community in this respect it was dispelled to-night, when the vast con- course turmed out and whooped it up for Dr. Pardee and the Republican ticket. SAM D. WOODS PRESIDES. Masonic Hall was packed to the doors to-night when Chairman Harkness of the Republican County Committee called the meeting to order. Without further ado he introduced Congressman Woods, who made a brief address in which he lauded Needham and Campbell, both of whom, he sald, were well known to the people of the San Joaquin valley. Woods, who is very well liked in this section. was greeted with loud applause as he sat down after introducing Congressman Needham. Needham spoke for nearly three-quar-~ ters of an hour, reviewing at considerable. length. and in a_wealth of detail the na- tional issues. He spoke of the necessity ot California returning Republican Con- gressmen, that they may assist the Re- publican administration in maintaining the policies under which our nation has thrived and prospered. Needham was in gcod voice and spoke clearly and with telling emphasis. When Needham took his seat, to the accompaniment of loud applause and eu- thusiastic cheering, Congressman Woods introduced Campbell. ‘““This gentleman needs no introduction from me,” said Congressman Woods. “He iz as well known to you as he is to me. I now take great pleasure in presenting to you that distinguished lawyer and orator, your former fellowtownsman, Hon. Joseph C. Campbell of San Fran- cisco.” Instantly the audience broke - inte a mighty yell. The applause lasted ful two minutes and as it was about to sub- side a venerable old gentleman in 3 ‘rear of the hall arose, and, mounting ckair, hoisted his hat and walking stick high above his head and proposed thr. cheers for ‘“Joe” Campbell. The vast crowd yelled itself hoarse as Campbel bowing and smiling, advanced to the front of the rostrum. MAKES MASTERLY SPEECH.

FULTON CO. 38 TIMES TAPPED, Friends Sent for Last Interview. Bright's Disease Is Curable. We have another recovery from Bright's Disease to report. The patient, a lady living in the' Western Addition, was in such a hope- less condition and the recovery was so ins credible that we thought it best to have some pell-known authorfty certify the facts. The honesty of James H. Barry, editor of the San Francisco “‘Star,” Is known all over this coast. We therefore asked the “‘Star” to confirm the facts. Mr. Barry consented and Mr Lovey, the business manager. took the matter in hand, and after a personal Investigation the cass was fully confirmed and the “Star™ of October , 1902, prints the following author- ized statement: ‘“Patlent, female; pronounced by her physt- clan suffering from chronic Bright's Disease. Dropsy present and limbs swollen to immens- Ity; had to be tapped evéry few day: was tapped thirty-eight times. Grew wWorse from day to-day. In April physicians reported the case hoveless and relative living out of the city were summoned to the bedside. Brother. in-law suggested the Fulton Compound. As sbe had then been tapped over thirty times it was_feared it was too late. Began with small doses. It stayed on the stomach, which noth- ing eise had done for nearly thirty days. First week decline in dropsy. In three and one-half months it had all disappeared: the heart ceased troubling, eating and sleening well and gain- ing strength. Gain continued. Patient now well.” The genuineness of the above and the aco: racy of the statement are hereby fully tested. (Signed) L. W. LOVEY. Bright's Disease and Diabetes are now posi- tively curable in about &7 per cent of all cas-s.
