JORDAN’S REMARKABLE CA“PAIGN NG TRIP THROUGH THE MOUNTA'N COUNTIES. | | | RANK C. JORDAN, Republican | nominee for Clerk of the Supreme Court, has just completed a tnost remarkable campaign trip. He | traveled many hundred miles over | mourtain trails and through districts | where State candidates heretofore have | feared to tread carrying the banner of | | Pardec and the Republican ticket. Re- | garding his trip Mr. Jordan sai | “I left for Eureka on the steamer Pc- | mona Sunday, September 14, accompanied | | by my mascot, ‘Colonel’ Cuddy ‘of Call- | fornia.’ As the steamer pulled out into | the stream Roncovierfs band surprised | me by playing ‘One more River to| | Cross The,boys of the Press Club who | came down to the whart to see me off | | were responsible for this serenade, The |trip up was very pleasant.

I engaged a guide, two eaddle horses and a pack horse for the trip. Thursday night at 8 o’clock found at Redwood, some forty miles from Ar- having during the day.visited Blue kes and from that town driven twenty miles over a range of mountains. I met a good many voters on the way and took advantage of every opportunity. TRAVEL IN THE STORM. “Thursday morning it began to rain hard. Rubber suits used by the ranch hands were put on and soon we were off on our hard trip. The ‘colonel’ having never been on horseback before, soon became restless and unegsy. Night found us at China Flat on the Trintty River and the ‘colonel’ repairing the injuries of the day by a liberal application of ham- mamelis. Here we met George McGilli- vray, formerly of Oakland, and he ad- vised me to go up the Trinity over the old mail trail instead of taking the Or- | I could secure, in compuny with George flcans Bar route, warning us of the dan- T.

As the distance was some- what less to ride the ‘colonel’ did not object to the change of route. Trouble was on my mascot’s mind though when told that the South Fork, to be crossed the next day, was 300 feet wide and forty feet deep and that there was neither boat nor bridge. ‘“WEken told that his horse was to be driven into the stream and he was to cling to his tail he turned pale and sald ‘Boss, I can’t do that; I don’t like water nohow, and supposin’ I'd get drowned, why the folks down home would say I was nutty.’ ‘“We finally hit upon the scheme of knocking the bottom out of a sugar bar- rel, tying the ‘colonel’ on and pulling him across with ropes. The ‘coionel’ con- cluded ‘that was the real dope,’ and went to bed happy. His first inquiry upon be- ing awakened at daylight was as to the | barrel, and, upon reaching South Fork at noon he discovered the stream to be only a foot deep. The ‘colonel’ was himself again. ‘‘Here we rested and a light fishing rod soon Ianded elghty fine trout. A late start, due to the allurements of the stream, was made for Burnt Ranch, the only place we'coull make that day. Where we had rested the hills were high, but before we got over the range that night we looked down on them. Darkness came soon. The guide ahead found it ex- tremely difficult to keep the trail, frequent halts had to be made and matches were struck often. Up and up we climbed and we soon began to appreciate the task we had undertaken. The ‘colonel,’ born in Frisco, never away from home farther than Sacramento, Stockton or San Jose, in a burst of confidence said: ‘Boss, I didn't know the world was 'so big.' I instantly cautioned him to be quiet, ask- ing him if he had not heard strange noises in the timber as we rode .along. He said he had and 1 said, ‘ ‘Colonel, these mountains are alive with panthers and California Hons (and they are). ‘There are several bounding along on each side of our trail, keeping about twenty feet away from us, and an outery might cause them to attack us’ ‘My! boss; I “On the summit at last, a moment for rest gave us an opportunity to look around. The emoon,. kind to us at last, lighted up the way and mountain, cliff and canyon stood out in bold rellef. High as the mountain we were on was, others towered above and around us. It was a scene I will not soon forget. Down the mountain we went without incident other than to be startled once by the ‘colonel’ crying out far behind us on the trall, ‘Boss, don’t go so fast. I'm afraid of these lions." RECEIVE WARM WELCOME. ‘“At Burnt Ranch we received a moun- taineer's welcome. A good sleep and gaod meals put us all in good spirits and our refreshed horses soon took us to the Trin- ity. Then along the river, over trails that needed cautious riding—for a stumble or false step would hurl horse and rider into the river, hundreds of feet below—we went. Over the great slide that rushed one stormy night into the river, burying in its fearful course several unfortunate Chinamen and completely damming the river till its water rose to a depth of 300 feet, we rode uneasily, and at noon, after fording the stream, we lunched on.the spot where poor Van Arman, the mail carrier, crawled after being mortally hurt and died, leaving a hastily scribbled note telling of an Indian attack and the death of his soldier escort. ‘“That day, SBunday, we had a long and dangerous ride, particularly so at Don Juan Point, where the ‘colonel,’ grasping the horn of his saddle, gave his horse logse rein and concluded that life’ was hardly worth living.« Noon found us at Big Flat, a familiar spot to all pioneers. In 1851 this place was a scene of rustling activity, now in ruins. Fifty years ago thousands of miners went theré for sup- plies and pack trains took in for winter use more than $50,000 worth of provisions.

Hard of hearing, he yet was able to learn the rea- son of my journey and startled me by telling of his presence on the river in the days of '51; of the prosperity, excite- ment, rush of those early days: of the stampede in new and faraway diggings; of his own temporary desertion of the river and quest pursued here year after year for the yellow metal—a quest still kept up, lonely, disheartening, but yet not hopeless. “That night we rested at Cox's Bar,hav- ing passed Big Bar, so wondrously rich. Kindly treated, well fed, at break of day we bade good-by to our kind host, Mr. Tinsley, and, fording the Trinity again, made for North Fork, where the wagon road to Weaverville promised an easier and more satisfactory trail. ‘“Eyen over this part of our trall the ‘colonel” several times was seen to redden, ‘flush and shut his eyes because the river far below did not ‘look good to him. ‘“‘Barly in the afternoon we made North Fork, and here, in the shade of a great apple tree, planted in 49, fresh cider cheered us and the ‘colonel’ was happy again, ‘‘Here he tumbled from his horse and said, ‘Boss, I wouldn't do it again for a million.” “A seat on the stage was en- gaged for the ‘colonel' and with my guide I galloped away toward Weaverville, eighteen miles distant, taking in Junection City and the great La Grange mines. “That night at Weaverville was a happy one. I was kindly greeted by friends, all of whom assured me that my rough trip, the first made by a candidate of any party on the regular ticket, would not go un- rewarded. The next night found us at Redding, after a fifty-mile stage ride, mascot and vote-seeker, both wcary and gray with dust, but happy, hearty and eagerly anxious for supper.” PERKINS TELLS OF PROSPERITY | United States Senator Talks { to a Host of Voters in Stockton. — Special Dispatch to The Call. TOCKTON, Oct. 30.—Senator George S C. Perkins was accorded a warm reception by the people of Stockton this evening at Masonic Music Hall, where he made an ' exceptionally able argument in favor of the perpetuation of prosperity. The Senator arrived by the noon train and put in a very busy afternoon receiv- ing friends and visiting different manu- facturing establishments. The evening meeting was opened without formality, George W. Tatterson introducing the speaker. BSenator Perkins said that men were judged by what they had done rather than by what they professed and by their records rather than by promises. On the same basis he would compare the two parties. The Senator then contrasted the conditions under Cleveland’s administra- tion with those of the present. He spoke of the isthmian canal, the irrigation bill and various other bills of direct interest to the people of this section. He paid| considerable attention to the State cam- | paign and urged Republicans to stand by Pardee and_the entire ticket. He ex- pressed the utmost confidence in a eweep- ing Reépublican victory. The audience aisplayed great enthusiasm. | cided that Stoll the county sends men to the State Legis- lature who will return a Republican Sena- tor. He eulogized Senator Perkins and urged hearty support for Pardee and the entire ticket. The meeting was most suc- cessful. e e DR. STOLL MUST ANSWER TO CHARGE OF MURDER Is Released From Custody on Bonds Fixed by Police Judge Mogan at $15,000. The application of Attorneys Hiram Johnston and John A. Hosmer for the re- lease of Dr. Benjamin F. Stoll, charged with the murder of Dr. Robert J. Blake, his assistant, in the office of Decker & Stoll, Phelan building, October 16, was argued before Police Judge Mogan yes- terday morning, and the Judge took till 2 o’eleck in the afternoon to render his de- cision. At the hour named the Judge said he had decided to hold the defendant to an- swer before the Superior Court on a charge of murder, but he had also de- was entitled to bail, which he, would fix at $20000. Attorney Jchnston submitted that the amount was too high. Even if Stoll were convicted it could not be of more than murder in the second degree, the attorney said, and he quoted a case in. the Supreme Court where the bonds were fixed at $8000. He suggested $10,000. The Judge said he appreciated the fact that Stoll had not committed murder in the firet degree, and made an order fixing the bonds at §15,000. Dr. Stoll was re- leased about 5 6'clock, his sureties being John Breuner, George D. Graham, Her- bert Fleishhacker, Richard D. Davis and Twobert 5. Wallace.

CROWDS HEAR HIS ELOQUENCE Congressman Littlefield of Maine Delivers Interest- ing Speeches. EDDING, Oct. 30.—~One of the big- gest political meetings of the pres- ent campaign was that held in this city to might by the Republicans. | The Hon. Charles E. Littlefield of Maine was the chief speaker. He was greeted by an enthusiastic audience of fully 2000 persons and for over two hours held his audience with one of the most thrilling speeches ever heard in this section. Judsa\Edwnrd Sweeney was made chair- man of the meeting. He delivered a splendid short address and introduced Congressman Littlefleld, whose talk was mostly along national issues lines, He showed conclusively that in the present political fight in California national issues should bg considered to a very consider- able extent. He plainly demonstrated the necessity of electing the Republican State ticket in order to show California’s ap- preciation for the grand work the Re- publican party had done and as a com- mendation of President Roosevelt. His speech was frequently interrupted by ap- plause. ' The speaking was preceded by a parade and plenty of bonfires and en- thusiasm. 3 WILLOWS, Oct. 30.—Congressman Lit- tlefield arrived in Willows by special train from Red Bluff at 11 a. m. At noon he was escorted to the opera-house. Con- sidering the hour of the day there was a large crowd assembled to hear tha{ dis- tinguished' gentleman. He talked two hours, most of which time was consumed in Jiscussing national issues. The tariff question was discussed at length. . Littiefield gave by facts and figures th difference In conditions under free-trade legislation and the protective tariff sys- tems. He said that the free-trade system of tariff would be detrimental to the wage-eurner?ns well as to the manufac- turer. In regard to trusts, Littlefield said they had existed for centuries and that they were not fostered by the tariff. He declared the only way to get at these gigantic combinations is by direct legisla- tion. He stated that it was v neces- sary that California should chodse a Re- publican Governor. The most influextial papers in the State are lending assistance in de- ting Amendment No. 8, known as Assembly Constitutionnl Amendment No. 28. —————————— Cadet Building Fund Aided. A delightful “kettledrum” was given last evening at the house of Dr. John F. Gibbon, 2112 California strcet, in aid of the poster carnival and building fund of the Leagué of the Cross Cadets. There was a large and fashionable attendance. The entertainment provided consisted of music, both vocal and instrumental, and recitations. There was also a dance, Whlch proved most enjoyable. ————————— Primary League l.eeting.

DELMAS LAUDS THE DEMOCRACY Party’s Campaign in Southern California Is Pr:cti- caliy Closzd. Special Dispatch to The Call. 0S8 ANGELES, Oct. 30.—With a par- ade of the Iroquols Club and a Lms!s-meet(n; at EIks' Hall the Democrats to-night practically closed their State campaign in Los Ange- les. The speaker of the evening was D. M. Delmas of San Francisco. He was greet- ed by an audience which filled the hail, but did not' crowd it to the doors. His speech was an eloquent and polished ef- fort. He stated that the laboring classes had loked vainly to thé Republican party to renominate Henry T. Gage, who, he said, had proven himself the friend of the workingmen in the San Franecisco strike, Instead of being given an oppor- tunity to vote for the man they wanted, the laboring classes had presgnted before them a candidate who had Written a let- ter to a San Franeisco paper opposing strikes. Delmas cvidently had the erroneous fm- pression that the people of Southern Call- fornia wanted Gage renominated, for he practically expressed condolence because Gage had been defeated in the State con- vention. This caused a smile in the au- dience, for the speaker did not appear to be endeavoring to make a sarcastic refer- ence to the Governor, and his hearers knew that Gage was not wanted by the veople of this end of the State. —— i EXPECTS CTY TO. | SAVE HIM Lane Relies on Support of Voters of the Metropolis. Addresses Ten Meet- ings During T'welve, - Hqurs. RANKLIN K. LANE passed yes- | terday on the stump. Commencing &t the hour of noon and ending at midnight, he stood before ten dif- terent audiences and discussed what Le considers the issues of the campaigm, solicited votes and urged his hearers ta stand for Democracy. During the day the meetings were held among the laboring ropulation and in the evening they were general, being held under the auspices of different political clubs in distriets ex- tending from the Potrero to the Western Addition. Lane received the usual greeting from each assemblage. He assured his listen- ers that his fight had not been one for raught and asserted that victory was in- evitable. His city majority, he said, would be phenomenal, and he was posi- tive that the interior counties would sus- tain it. On his tour the candidate was accompa- nied by I. B. Dockweller, who followed him in all of his addresses. The first ad- dress was made during the noon hour at the Broadway dock. Longshoremen and saflors congregated and cheered remarks that were in the nature of Democratic promises for maritime improvements. The Musicians’ Union, at 421 Post street, Istened to Lane and his associates about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Then the Cooks' and Waiters’ Alliance, at % Fourth street, received the speakers at 3 o'clock. The last of the afternoon speeches was made at the Sailors’ Home at 5 p. m. At all of the afternoon meetings Mr. Lane fully discussed the labor situation. On the water front he touched upon the Chinese exclusion act and legislation that would benefit the condition of sailors, OPENS EVENING CAMPAIGN. Lane’'s evening campaign started in tha Thirty-first Assembly District at the Po- trero Opera-house, Tennessee street, near Eighteenth. Chairman Charles M. Tropp= mann introduced the candidate and ne proceeded in the following manner: The battle is now nearing a close. The rasi. dents of the Potrero have proven their loyal adhesion to the Democratic cause and hav given me their most gemerous support. Thi has not heen an casy campaign. I have had no money with which to make a fight and. fur that fact my opponents predict My defeat. Bug I believe the time has not yet come when only a man of wealth can occupy the position of Governor to the exclusion of all others of hon- esty_and ability. T have found my cause pleaded mot only” by workingmen but by people of the middle class es. Many of the latter, maniy and independ- ent, have rallied to my support. When you touch the heart of the American people you will find that‘all alike—laborers, business men and men of wealth are struck by a common crord and move by a common impulse. A common country is the thing we love and, as men, we stand above all parties, Lane received a warm greeting on his arrival at Silk’s Hall on Precita avenue and Migsion street. The meeting was called by the Union Labor and the Demo- cratic voters under the auspices of the Thirty-third Assembly District Club. P. J. McCormick called the meeting to order and introduced Louis Ferreri from ! the San Bruno section of the district. Fer- reri addressed the assemblage prior to the arrival of the heavy speakers, who were accompanied by W. H. Alford, I. B. Dock- weiler and M. J. Kerrigan. Lane's ad- dress was well applauded. Messrs. Dock- weiler, Alford and Kerrigan followed on time addresses of fifteen minutes. THE BOYS HIS FRIENDS. The speakers were then driven to Mis- sion Turn Verein Hall, on Righteenth street, between Valencia and Guerrero. The citizens of the Thirty-Afth District were out in large numbers and a cordial welcome was extended the candidates. During Lane’s speech a number of small boys creéated slight commgtions in the rear of the house. A policeman started to eject them, but the nominee for Governor interrupted him, saying: “Never mind. officer. They are only small boys, just as you and I were oneg. 1 love them and I have yet to find thge= first one that isn't with me. During fiy tour of the State they acted as my body- guard, walking beside my carriage and cheering@or me, and I would rather have one of them for a bodyguard than & squad of police. “The Republican press and Republican orators jested me because I said I wanted to be Governor that my little boy at home might be proud of me. Since then I have been wondering what manner of man he can be who would sneer at a man who wanted his boy to be proud of him im years fo come.” The rally at Twin Peaks Hall, Seven- teenth and Noe streets, was the next at- tended and the same bounteous greeting was given the candidates. THE CLOSING MEETINGS. The Thirty-etghth District Democratie Club held forth at Maacot Hall. on Golden Gate avenue, between Webster and Bu- chanan streets. Considerable enthusiasm prevailed. George Gallagher, the weill known district leader, presided. Judge Rush of Los Angeles was the orator of the evening. Alexander Rosborough, the young candidate for Secretary of State from Alameda County, was cheered when ke took the platform. When Lane entéted the hall he w glven a tremendous ovation. He thanked { his audience for its greeting and made a& promise to do his full duty should he be elected Governor. ‘William Alford, candidate for the Board | ot Equalization, made a brief address. Alfred J. Fritz, candidate for Police Judge; Frank H. Dunne, Livingston Jenks, William T. Baggett, candidates for Superior Judge; E. L. Woodman, candi~ date for State Printer, and other Demo- cratic candldates closed the meeting. Saratoga Hall would have held twice the crowd that gathered to participate in the rally of the Forty-second District Democratic Club. Daniel O’'Keefe presid- ed. Willlam Alford, Democratic candi- date for thé Board of Equalization, was the first speaker of the evening, and he made a lengthy address. In part he sald: The Republican party has brought states- men all the way from Maine to tell Califor- nlans what is good for them. Congressman Littlefleld, in a recent speech, said that wen must be sure and vote against the Democratic candidates for the Legislature for they would elect a United States Senator and that such a thing would never do. Now where in all the history of California will you find a better representative of California than Stephen M. Wiite was, and he was a Democrat? Franklin K. Lane, I. B. Dockweiler, Al- exander Rosborough, Judge Frits, Liv- ingston Jenks and Judge Frank H. Dunne also addressed the meeting.
