ASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Presi- dent Roosevelt is anxious for the election of every Republican nominee for Congress who has & fighting chance. A brief state- ment 1o this effect, given out from the President’s office yesterday, was dictated by the President, and he meant just what he said. He hopes for and expects a Republican majority in the next House, and he realizes that such majority 1is more important to him than to any other one man because of the recommendations be desires to have acted upon. President Roosevelt is most anxious to bring about the passage of amendments rman anti-trust law, and a House would be fatal to such = e can expect such legislation iy from a Republican House acting in mony with a Republican Senate.

Urges People to Cast Ballots for Best Men and Down - Bossism. AR, Reverend A. C. Bane of Howard Methodist Church Surprises His Congregation With a Po- | litical Sermon. The Rev. Dr. A. C. Bane preached a sermon on politics last night at the Howard M. E. Church, on Howard street, near Third. The text for the sermon was taken from the book of St. Paul's epistle to the Romans, and was, “Whatsoever ye do, do ye all to the glory of God.” He said: We are on the eve of a great general elec- tion and one that needs our attention. I be- lieve that all men should be religious, and if ever a man should be religious it is when he steps into the polling: bLooth. If there was more of the spirit of God at the ballot box we wouid have a better Government. The church ought to haye iniluence in public The saloon has ‘a great influence in but I believe the church ought to lead ought of all the people In all lines of right doing. ; “the demands for Christian citizenship are great. As we stop to consider the vices and sins that are rampant in our c.ties; the morals of the city trampled down by corrupt legisia- tion, we can see that the demand for Christiat citizenship is a growing one. The moral interests of this community are more exalted thag the commerclal, social or political interests. The men o are in | power think only of the commercial interest. | Why, when 1 was at a meeting of the Super- ¢ Hall, when the board was about to decide as to whether it would open the racetrack or not, in answer to my pleas that they consider the morals of the city before taking any such step, one of those Supervisors answered, with all of his super- visorial dignity, that they were not at a Sun- day-sehool. Why, if the city has a moral growth, we would soon be able to see the commercial and social growth grea than ever, . Many Easterners have come here to in- vest “their money and have gone away again without so doing because the moral conditions were 50 bad that they did not want their chil- dren to be brought up here. Build your city on moral lines and it will then be prosperous. The men who ordinarily control the city gov- ernment, the political bosses and gamblers, are not fitted to hold public otfice and should be relegated to private life, ADVISES INDEPENDENCE. The well being of the city, of the church, of the State, depends upon the way you cast your ballot. In politics the saloon leads instead of the church, which stands for all that is right. We should choose the men who are to have charge of our public schools with great care for they are responsibe for forming the char- acters of our joung men and women Who & to them for learning. Our Judges, jurists and legislators who shall go to Sacramento and Washington to make our laws should all be honest, religlous men. It is a well-known fact that San Fraicisco has sent to these places men who were not fit morally or otherwise for the tasks which they were sent to perform. The trouble with politics is that we let it alone too much. many good people stay out of politics because it {s so corrupt and leave it te the scum of the earth. It Is our fault. We church people should see that the best men are put into office. When the caucus comes every Christian man should be there and should foi- low fo the primaries, and from' there to the conyéntions, then through the campaign, and last but not least to the ballot box and cast good, honest votes as his conscience dictates. Put your stamp opposite the name of the man staffds for the moral well-being of the city and State, and don't eleet him just be- cause he is a good fellow. 1 advise every man to be an - Independent Don't be a slave to any political party, tand as a free man and select men for their integrity of character. The man who puts a_cross opposite every name down the line on any one ticket does not vote: he simply ratifies What some one has done and swallows the whole thing without a question just because he poses as an old, true Republican, Democrat, Union Labor man or a Socialist. 1 have never found a party In my life that has had the good wisdom to nominate all good men. The saloon men make up a ticket, and if you can find out which are their men, you vote against them and” you will get good government. The men put up by the saloons and gamblers are bound to be slaves to them while in office. I know a man who is a Supervisor in this city and is vanning for a prominent State ofice, who, every time the question of licensing gam- bling in this city has come up, has voted in favor of opening race- tracks and other dens of vice. He ecan’t have my vote and he ought to have the stamp of disapproval against his name. Vote for men having the interests of the so- called ‘“‘common people’” at heart, rather thun - and patronage. 5 PR EV|O s 5 ' US-MAJORITIES NEVADA REPUBLICANS BUSY.

At Lebanon Presbyterian Church there was a large attendance last evening when the Rev. R. Logan, M. A., deliveged a lec- ture, taking for his subject “The Elec- tion."” ~ Mr. Logan began by ardently appealing to Christian men to take an active part in politics, for a man, said the speaker, was ‘all the - better citizen for being a Christian. The highest type of states- man, he continued, was the Cbristian statesman and as examples there were such men as John Bright and Gladstone of England and Washington and Daniel Webster, who had said:that the greatest thought that had ever entercg his mind was his accountability to God; also Presi- dents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. Of the statesmen tosday who were among the foremost were President Roosevelt and Dr. Kuyper, Prime Minister of Hol- land. He gave them examples and in do- ing so impressed on the minds of his hear- ers that they would be called upon Tues- day to select the men who were ‘o make, regulate and enforce the laws by which the State was governed. The ballot, he said,” was the citizen’s most sacred trust and the Christian citizen should ask di- vine guidance before exercising that sacred right. 1t 'was, he continued, a dan- gerous thing to place a bad man in a geod party. As for amendm No. 8, he had no hesitation in sayingfthat it was an abomi- nation, conceived, He declared, in sin and brought forth in iniquity. . The great danger to-day was the con- founding of liberty and freedom with' - cense, but let the . workingman use the ballot intelligently and honestly, smd Mr. Logan. and there was | notbing that he ought to have that he cannot reach: but, emphasized the speaker, he must not forget that the in- telligent. the conservative and the honest ! use cf the ballot box was essential. | | Senator Cutter Is Con- fident of a Large Republican Vote HE managers of the Republican State campaign are confident of Dr. Pardee's election to-morrow. It is regarded as certain that Re- publican majorities of the interior will overcome ‘any advantages that the Democrats can possibly galn In San Fran- eisco. It was amply demonstrated Satur- day night and yesterday that the Lane money so freely boasted of was not forth- coming when Republicans proposed to accept the wagers. It is true that there is a deal of Lane talk in the town. Politiclans recall in- cldents of the campaigu four years ago. The Maguire mass-meeting at the Me- | chanics’ Pavilion on the eve of the elec- tion of 1808 was an Immense gathering. ‘Ten thousand Democrats assembled at the | Pavilion and cheered for Maguire until midnight. The Democrats were confident that they would win the city by eight or | ten thousand majority for their nominee. The next day the Republican candidate won out in the city by a majority of 3500. History may repeat itself. | Voting strength cannot be estimated Ly noise on the streets. The Republicans are quige confident of carrying the Thirty-sev- enth, Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ainth, Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty-second, Forty-third and Forty-fourth Assembly districts. It would not surprise the district workers if the Thirty-fifth and Forty-fifth went Re- publican. ELECTION ESTIMATES. The Call receives information® from various sources which correborates in the main the figures presented by the chair- man of the Republican State Committee. The Cutter estimate of Pardee's majority | in Alameda County. fs perhaps 1000 too | high, jut Santa Clara and Marin are too low. Sacramento is overestimated and a cut of 100 should be made there. Cutter concedes Fresno to the Democrats by a larger majority than the facts justify. 1t would not surprise Republican workers in that county if Pardee should win out there. Indications are that Kern County will not give the Democrats more than 400 majority. Conservative pruning places Pardee’s majority outside of San Fran- cisco at 13,400. The Democratic prediction ,published elsewhere is not based on adything but wild conjecture. It is simply a claim of everything in sight. The placing of Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Somoma in the Demo- cratic column’ is rank nonsense. The ciaim of 12,000 for Lane in San Francisco is preposterous. The fact is recalled that Phelan, who once carried every Assembly District in the city, only had 7000 ma- jority. The indications are that the city Republicans will cast 26000 votes, and | that 4000 other vo will go to the| Socialist and - Prohibition candidates. Figuring the total vote at 62,000, Lane may be able to win out by 2000 majority | over all or 6000 over Pardee. The Re- publicans, however, have sufficient strength in counties other than San Francisco to overcome 12,000 majority | for Lane in this city.

It was in the form of & “high jinks.™ Refreshments were served to the candi- date for Governor as well as other visit- ors. Mr. Larfe did not discuss campaign issues, but expressed his confidence of be- ing elected to-morrow. Isidore Dockweiler, candidate for Lieu- tenant Governor, said that the day beihg Sunday it would not be proper for him to make a political speech. He therefore contented himself with saying he was 2 candidate for office. Alec Rasborough, the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State, sang a rag-time ditty, which was enjoyed by the members and invited guests. Mr. ‘Lane subsequently attended the mass meeting and entertainment of the non-partisan German-American Club at Glen Park. He delivered a powerful ap- peal for votes and then took his depart- ure. He rushed down town and addressed an assemblage in Washington-square Hall. There were many Italians in the audience.
