Metcalf spoke these words to-night at a Republi- can meeting at West Oakland he intended to show how important is this campaign and what the President of the United States expects of California. His' recital of this dialogue followed a special plea to his auditors to stand firm for the party ticket and especially for the legislative candidates of the party, who are: State Senators—Fourteenth District, J.

The meeting was held in Alcatraz Hall, the center of a district where working- men’s homes abound. The speeches fell upon ears that received them well. There was a feeling of victory everywhere. Representative Metcalf pointed out the serious conditions which could arise were | a Democratic Governor chosen, showing that in the event of a vacancy in the United States Senatorship a Democrat could .be chosen to represent the State.

After all of the county candidates had been heard and a noteworthy reception had been given to John Mitchell, the nominee for Assessor, Congressman Met- calf was presented amid much cheering by Henry D. Schindler, the chairman of the evening. In the course of his speech Congressman Metecalf said: 1 purpose to discuss with you to-night the records of the two great partles in this coun- try and tell you why, in my opinion, the Re- publican party should again receive your suf- frages. In the first place I want to show you that national issues have a big place in ‘the conduct of this campaign. The ~Democratic leader in this State is saying that we are not Nominees, Who to be affected if he is elected and that this is a purely local affair, but there is where he does not agree with the platform of his party. Mr. Lane’s party platform demands the withdrawal of the tariff from all trust-made goods in order to remedy some alleged wrongs ‘in our economic system. WOULD STRIKE DEATH BLOW. Sugar is one of the trust-made articles of manufacture in this country. The sugar beet industry is one of the important ones of this State. According to the Democratic platform the tariff on raw sugar should be withdrawn in order to hurt a trust hateful to the Demo- cratic party. It would strike a death blow to the farmers and thousands dependent upon the tariff that now protects them. . 1 would like to discuss with you fully all of the Democratic platform. I would like to discuss that part that demands that ships shall be built at the navy yard. I am in favor of their being Dbuilt there, ‘and all fair-minded men are, if there are the facilities to do the work, and the Democratic party is not ahead @ ettt efeieimolieimiemieel ot e el e e e @ Alameda Colored Republicans.

Labor to-day, assisted by the Republican party and the tariff, is intelligent enough and prosperous emough not to be led astray by the high-sounding promises of the other side. When they compare the times of to-day with the dark ones of not so long ago it ought to leave no doubt in fair minds where the vote ought to go. When the laboring man weighs the evidence fmpartially he will find that it is the Re: publican party that has always helped his cause. Above all, he will find that the R>- publican party bas passed every measure for the upbuilding of the toiler that has been enacted. He will find it was the Republican party that voted for. the abrogation of con- vict labor: that it was a Republican govern- ment that enacted an alien contract labor law; that it was the Republican party that struck the shackles off 4,000,000 = I ha it from Samuel Gompers, head of the Amerk Federation of Labor, that duriflg the recent depression 3,000,000 men in this country were idle, and it was the Democratic party that was in power. Can thers be any question in your minds as to whom you will support? No, no! The Republican party never betrayed labor in this country and it never will, thank God. CAN’T AVOID THE ISSUES. Of course, the Democrats don’t want national tssues discussed In this campaign; but they can’t avoid it. In your platform you enunciate your principles. You stand for something then and will sink or swim. Mr. Lane has not dis- cussed the Democratic platform, national is- sues or his assoclates. He has only discussed himself. But there are places whers the Dem- ocrats show where their thoughts are. In this county they have not made a single nomina- tion on the legislative ticket. In San Fran- clsco, however, the Democrats have insisted before they would indorse a single Labor Union candidate that he vote with them for a United States Senator should there happen to be & ‘candidate. 2 Mr. Lane is a good, clean man, and I have nothing against him, but we have a better man. Dr. Pardee is a man of the people. He has been tried and not found wanting. I have heard a good deal of him around the State. I met a .man at Point Richmond last night namsd Perry who told me he was going to vote for Dr. Pardee, aithough he had always been s Democrat. I asked the reason for h. change, and he told me that Dr. Pardee had saved him from blindness once and never charged Bim a_cent, and that he intended to work hard for his eiection. I heard the same thing at Vallejo. It'is by such conduct as this that & man’s Worth is to be judged. Dr. Par- dee is not afrald to do his duty and he is not afraid to stand by his platform. I say to you this is not the year for the Republican to sulk in his tent or bolt the ticket—State, county or legislative. The Dem- ocratic party is making a gigantic effort to elect a Congressional -delegation. This is not the time to bolt your ticket. You cannot af- ford'to do it. When you vote against any of your nominees you:are voting against the na- tional administration. If we lose the election & — | NAKES A VICTIN OF BENEFACTOR Aéed Promoter Forges Name of Man Who Helped Him. Henry W, Westermann Is Arrested on Complaint of Behrend Joost. Oakland Office San Franciseo Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 29. Charged with forging the name of Beh- rend Joost & Sons, San Francisco realty brokers, to a promissory note for 75, Henry W. Westermann, aged 66 years, & promoter, was arrested to-day by Chief of Police Hodgkins at the Prescott House, 413 Sixth street; where the aged agent had been rooming. Mrs. C. Schoening, proprietress of the lodging-house, was given the collateral a few days ago as security for Wester- mann’s bill and a few dollars she had loaned her roomer. When the landlady presented the note for collection to Joost & Sons yesterday they declared it was a rank forgery, and immediatsly communi- cated with the Oakland police. Behrend Joost explained that he became interested in Westermann a month ago and bought him a ticket to Chicago, as he was without funds and desired to go East. Instead of using the coupon West- ermann sold it and came to Oakiand. He remained in hiding here until his offense was discovered. ‘Westermann admitted that he had writ- ten the forged document and pleaded his poverty. He has been trying to float & brewery syndicate scheme, but without success, he said. His case will be called to-morrow in the Police Court. @il e VOTE FRANCAISE “T0 NEW RAILWAY Council Accepts Terms and Passes Ordinance to Print. e —— Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, Oct. 2. The ordinance granting the San Fran- cisco Terminal Railway and Ferry Com- pany a franchise to-operate a steam rail- road through East Oakland and along Third street from Oak to Union street was passed to print to-night by the city council by a vote of nine to one, the nega~ tive being that of Councilman Courtney. The franchise calls for a double or single track. The new company ecannot put down switches between Oak and Union streets without-first obtaining permission of the Council.

OAKLAND, Oect. 20.—The lilliputian sis- ters, Misses Sara and Lucy Adams, have more grit than they have inches, as an adventure they had in the north shaws. They gave -an entertainment at Pojnt Arena,and were biiled to return on the steamer Brookiyn in time to entertain at a Sunday school benefit Monday night. A high sea made it dangerous for the steamer to land, however, and the littic wemen, undaunted, secured the services of a boatman to take them out to the vessel. But no boat could live in such a sea and so they put back to shore, where they took the stage for the sixty-five- mile trip to Cazadero. It was their first stage journey and they were tossed about like ping-pong balls, so rough were the roads. They arrived in Oakland too late to keep their engage- ment, but it was postponed until te-mor- row night, when the little travelers will ~ | give ome of their best programmes at Al- catraz Hall. —_——— Licensed to Marry.
