SAN FRANCISCO, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1902—FORTY PAGES. PRICE FIVE CENTS. PARDEE WAVE GAINS IN VOLUME AS THE CAMPAIGN NEARS ITS CLOSE DARE, AST #ight's mass meetings practically closed the campaign in the interior counties of California. - Wherever a’Republican meeting was held it was marked by an enormous attendance and great enthusiasm, The apathy that was noted carly in the campaign has disappeared as election day draws near, andsin every county the Re- publican rank and file have taken hold with a will to roll up handsome majorities for the State and Congressional tickets. Republican managers throughout the interior are confident, and reports from every county indicate that the majoritics in Republican strongholds will-be increased and the Democratic vote materially reduced in_ districts where that party has controlled in the past. One noticeable feature is the waning of the Lane tide in the closing days of the struggle. - Overconfidence on the part of Republi- cans, resulting in listless participation in campaign demonstrations at the outset, had caused hope to rise high in the breast of Democracy; but as the battle neared there was an awakening in the Republican ranks, and no campaign has closed with more enthusiasm than has been shown by the Republicans of California in the past few days. With the disappearance of Republican apathy there has been a corresponding diminution of Democratic hopefulness, and to-day there is no doubt that Californig will give splendid ma- LEGION | OF MEN | IN LINE . : r Immense Republican | es to the entire State and Congressional tickets. .

T 08 ANGELES, Nov. 1—*Los Angeles County will give a plurality of at least 300 for Pardee, and it may reach 5000,” sald Bradner W. Lee, chairman of the Repubfican County Central Committee and member of the State Executive Committee, to- night. “This estimate is more comserve- tive than is warranted by the reports wa have received from precinct comnmittee- men throughout the county. These re— ports indicate a Republican plurality sev- eral thousand in excess of 2500, but as the returns are not in from a small number of precincts it is well to de en the con- servative side and to give the opposition the benefit of the doubt. “The returns we have, which are only a few precincts short of completion, show a Republican plurality in the county, ex- clusive of Los Angeles City, of 422. Two years ago the same precincts gave a Re- publican plurality of 2500. With more than four-fifths of the city precincts re- ported a Republican’ plurality of more than 6000 is indicated. This, added to the plurality in the county precincts, makes the astounding total of more than 10,000 in faver of the Republican ticket. More flattering returns from a canvass never were received before, and despite reports to' the contrary they indicate a larger Republican plurality than two years ENCOURAGING FIGURES. An examination of the figures at the headquarters of the Republican County Central Committee shows that Chairman Lee's estimate is, indeed, conservative. Were he to tell what those figures reveal, or did he base his estimate upon what they show, he would be justified in pre- dicting a plurality of from 8000 to 10,000 for Pardee. Asked as to this, he sald he preferréd to be entirely on the safs side, so that he could not be accused of giving out statements simply for political effect when his desire really was to give information which he believed to be true. “I feel perfectly confident,” said former Senator Robert N. Bulla, member of the Republican State Executive Committee, “that every nominee on the Republican State ticket will be elected by a hand- some majority. - The only thing upon | which the Democrats base their alleged | for Lane. hopes of success is the claim that the laboring vote of the State will go solidly They do not indicate that thera is any other source of defection from tha Republican ranks..

Frank C. Jgrdan followed in a glorious tribute to George C. Pardee, whom he has known since boyhood. Senator Davis deplored the manner ia which Pardee had been subjected to in- sult in San Francisco, saying that it was un-American—that already the reaction bad set in, that all fair-minded men, among the laboring classes especially, would resent such abuse, and that qp November 4 the Republican candidate would be fully vindicated. two of the big sixteen-inch guns of the party, shattering the opposition and de- stroying the breastworks of the enemy. To-night's great demonstration: was a marked tripute to the high esteem in which the doctrines of the Republican party are held by the people of Humboldt County. The pavilion, one of the largest buildings of its kind outside of San Fran- cisco, Los Angeles and Sacramento, was packed from stage to entrance by a mul- titude whose enthusiasm knew no bounds." Everybody was there, merchants, miners, laborers, lumbering men, mechanies,’ stevedores, fishermen, hunters, tradespe- ple, farmers. In brief, it was a truly rep- resentative gathering. Men above the age of 1 predominated, although there were just enough women present to lend an alr of color and refinement 1o the assemblage. More than sixty prominént men of the town and vicinity sat on\the platform as vice presidents. E. E. Skinner presided. Gillette, the first speaker, addregsed the audience after the Bureka Glee Club sang a short campaign song. The Congres- slonal nominee was received warmly as he was introduced by Chairman Skinner. GILLETITE'S SENSIBLE TALK. Gillette spoke in part as follows: Besides our mining interests we have in this district large lumbering, sheep, cattle, agricul- tural, horticultural and viticultural interests, which are destined to make this the most pop- |. ulous and wealthy portion of the State, and all of these varlous Industries, as well as min- ing,-ought to be promoted and encouraged. The best way to do.this is to invite capital to make investments here; and' this can be done ohly as'long as our times continue. prosperous.

To accomplish this both capital and labor are required and both should work in harmony together.

When the applause which followed Gil- lette, as he bowed himself from the plat- form, had subsided, Campbell came for- ward, bowing and smiling, to the straing of “Hail to the Chief" from the local ag- gregation of brass, Continued on Page 19, Column 1. out reserved seat tickets, all of which were taken long before the doors were opened. On the stage were all of the county nominees and a large delegation of prominent Republicans, including the County Central Committee. Senator Rowell was chairman and .| opened the meeting with a short appeal for support for-the entire State and coun- | ty tickets. The meeting was very en- thusiastic, and cheers and applause were bestowed in plenty upon every speaker. Congressman Needham made one of the best speeches of the campaign, touching upon what he considered the needs of this district and stating his position an na- tional issues. Senator Perkins spoke particularly of the tariff. g The last speaker was| Vietor H. Met- calf, ‘who talked in Pardee's behalf, and commented upcn some of the extravagant | statements made by Gaston Ashe, Need- ham's opponent, in his speech here on Wednesday night. Tt was nearly 12 o'clock before the mieet- ing ended, but the vast audience did not atminish in the least either in number or in enthusiasm.

BACK IN THE FOLD. “There is another feature of the pres- ent campalgn Wwhich, especlally in our own county, is largely in favor of the Republican ticket. This is the old Silver Republican vote. Laqcal leaders of that movement have assured me within the past few dayvs that that element of the party is now heartily back in the haress and will cast a practically solid vote for the head of the Republican ticket. The Silver Republican Club of this county had 5000 names upon its membership rolls, and it we conceds two-fifths of this number to our opponent it will still be perfectly evident that our majority ig this county, by reason of the return of the Silver Re- publicans to the fold, wilt not fall short of 5000. No one need be surprised to see it reach 6500. The Times will to-morrow publish esti- | mates of the vote from all the mor@m- portant towns throughout Southern Cali- fornia. These estimates have been the result of several days’ work by special correspondents and staff men sent out for that purpose, with instructions to obtain from the people themselves and from the party leaders conservative statements of what they believe the results of Tuesday's vote will be. PROBABLE PLURALITIES. The returns from this canvass show that, with the exception of Kern, all of the counties in’ this part of the State ap- pear to be asg safely Republican as they ever were. Kern County probably will re- main in the Democratic column, but there is nothing to indicate a single break in the Republican list of counties. The estimate for Rivemside County is that Pardee will run at least 1000 ahead of Lane and may receive 1200 plurality. One San Bernardino correspondent estl- mates Pardee's plurality at $00 and an- other at 1000. Orange County promises Pardee 500 plu- rality and the election of the entire Re- public County ticket is predicted there. Ventura will come mio line with be- tween 400 and 600 plurality for Pardee. San Diego reports that the indications are that Pardee will receive 400 plurality outside the city and 500 plurality in that eity.
