Broadway Wharf Gather- | ing Disturbed by Lane Sympathizers. A i HE hoodlums who, as agents for Lave and other candidates on the Democratic ticket, have been conspicuously prominent at the water front meetings which Were nddressed by Dr. George C. Pardee last week, were out In force at Broadway wher? yesterday, at which point Pardee was to deliver a speech. The gang of ruf- flans was prepared to give Pardee a simi- Jar reception accorded -to him at the Union Iron Works, and it ‘was only be- cause 'he falled to keep the appointment to spéak that he escaped the insults which | it was the purpose of the Lane adherents in the crowd to heap upon him. | The crowd began to gather long before | noon at the entrance to Broadway wharf. In expectation of a disturbance several policemen were sent to the scene with in- structions to arrest the first man or boy who threw missiles of any description. Within a short time fully three hundred | men had gathered and during the wait for | Pardee lively arguments as to the chances of either gubernatorial candidate were in- dulged in. Those who dared to express themselves in favor of Pardee and pros- perity were hooted at and in some in- stances threatened. When news was re- ceived fro headquarters that Pardee was unavoidably detained by ‘reason of a conference with certain union men the crowd cheered derisively. A union man B i LATE ADVICES GIVE PARDEE A BIG LEAD | { HE Republican State Cen- | tral Committee estimates that the majorities which | | follow will be given the | | Republican State nominees to- day. The figures have been compiled from aunthentic sources, and in many instances from a special eanvass of the election precincts of the chief cities of the State. The latest | | advices from the best informed local people in Alameda, Los Angeles and Santa Clara coun- | ties warrant the inerease in the estimates over the last forecast. Similarly, in San Diego, Sacramento and Santa Cruz counties the figures given | in this table are considered more accurate, being based on the best conservative opinion. Advices of a like character from Inyo induce the bellef that the customary Democratic vote will be brought out, and therefore Inyo has been placed in the Lane column. Upon all the information received it is made certain that Dr. Pardee will come to Sau Francisco with 20,000 votes to spare. The district leaders of San Fran- eisco have reported and their information shows that the majority claimed by Mr. Lane in San Francisco has been practically wiped out. The rowdyism of Lane supporters, the well-known loyalty of Gov- ernor Gage and his friends to Dr. Pardee and the whole | ticket, and the phenomenal personal canvass that Dr. Par- dee has made among the voters of San Francisco, have all com- bined in these closing days of the campaign to keep the eity of San Francisco in the Repub- lican column. It is certain that McKinley’s majority of 10,000 in San Francisco has not been reversed. San Franciseo will mot be in the Democratie col- umn. It is therefore safe to forecast that Dr, Pardee will earry the State by 20,000. COUN Alamedn . Alpine ... Butte .. Amador Del Norte . El Dorado Fresno . enn .. Humboldt Inyo ... Kern . Kings .. .

When his purpose became appa- rent the crowd groaned and called for cheers for Lane. The man begged for fair play, but the hoodlums hurled more or less obscene epithets at him. He made several ineffectual attempts to speak, but the Lane men in the crowd declined to permit it. They hooted and yelled like Indians and their conduct so disgusted many toilers who were anxious that every one should have a fair hearing that they openly, declared. their Intention to vote for Pardee. But for the presence of the | police a riot might have taken place as a result of the bitterness of feeling dis- played by the opposing parties. T At the foot of Green street another large crowd was gathered in readiness to greet Pardee. This was a more orderly gathering and several utterances in favor of Pardee were listened to without any display of rancor. The announcement that Pardee was unable to appear at the wharf was received in good humor and Many of those present expressed their intention to vote for the Republican ticket and nu- merous cheers for Pardee were given with a will Dr. Pardee spent the greater part of the day among the railway men in Oakland. In bis travels he met hundreds of men, | many of them members of unions, who essured him ‘of their unswerving support. Later in the afternoon he returned to this city and consulted with his lieutenants relative to his campaign. In the evening he visited and spoke at three large meet- ings in South San Francisco. He was ac- corded splendid receptions at each of these and with the assurances of hun- dreds of his admirers that victory was to be his to-day Pardee closed the most strenuous campaign in which he has ever engaged. CHEERS GIVEN FOR PARDEE. Voters of South San Francisco Hold Encouraging Reception. The Republican candidates met with a most enthusiastic reception last night at Masonic Hall, in South San Francisco. The hall was packed to the very doors with citizens of the Thirty-second Assem- bly District. Edward J. Turner presided at the meeting. Eugene F. Loud, Congressman from the Fifth District, was the first speaker. As soon as he put.in his appearance on the stage his friends rose and cheered him vociferously. He spoke of the work he had accomplished in the halls of Congress, He dwelt at length on the condition of the country under the Cleveland adminis. tration when bonds were issued by our Government and poverty and starvation threatened the laboring classes. He said that as soon-as the Republican party came into power again prosperity dawned on the nation and men were idle no longer. He told how five vears ago the working ‘people in San Francisco were in a deplorable condition, resulting from Democratic policy. In conclusion, he re- SIGNALS FLAMING ON CALL BUILDING DOM : Special wire facilities, skillful. telegraph and telephone + peated his former promises to the effect that if returned to Congress he would support the policy of the Republican party as laid down by Abraham Lincoln, Wil- liam McKinley-and as continued by Theo- dore Roosevelt. ‘At the conclusion of his remarks he was given a parting cheer. R. Bruce McClellan, the Republican noniinee for Judge of the Superior Court, made a-short address defining the duties of a judge and promising to fulfill those dutles to the best of his ability should he be elected. R. Carey Van Fleet, son of Judge Van Fleet, assured the meeting of the success of the entire Republican ticket. The arrival of Dr. George C. Pardee in- terrupted the young orator’s remarks. The cheers for Dr. Pardee were most en- couraging. Dr. Pardee’s address was short, but to the point. He reminded his hearers of the days, mot long gone by, when the men of San Francisco were buflding the Balboa boulevard for 90 cents a day and sleeping in the sand lot where the United States postoffice is be- ing built on Seventh street because they did not have money enough to pay for a bedr Those days and the present were compared, with the cheerful reminder that to-day the laboring men are putting money in bank and living as American labogers should live, in comfort and lux- ury. For these great changes, he said, they might thank the Republican party. Before leaving the hall he was detained by several working men, who grasped him by the hand. . Charles Curry, present Secretary of State and the nominee for re-election, made a short address, which met with much enthusiasm. W. W. Shannon, nom- ince for State Printer; Lou H. Brown, nominee for State Board of Equalization, B. P. Lagrave, nominee for the Assembly from the Thirty-second District, and Thomas F. Dunn, nominee for Justice of the Peace, all made short addresses to the voters of the south end. At the finish of the rally cheers were given for the Republican party and its nominees. —_— Amendment No. S interferes with local self-government. CLOSES ACTIVE CAMPAIGN. Dr. Pardee Makes His Last Speech at Turner Hall. A grand final Republican rally was held last evening at Turner Hall, on Eight- eenth street, near Valencia. A large as- sembly of representative Republicans of the Mission attended the meeting and gave Dr. Pardee a rousing welcome wheh he entered the hall at the latter part of the meeting. A crowd of young men who had taken seats in the gallery early in the evening and who attempted to prevent Dr. Pardee from speaking aroused the in- dignation of all that were present by their hoodlum conduct, Dr. Pardee said in part: There is not much to say. The campalgn has closed and the whole matter has been threshed out. I need not remind you that we want continued prosperity in this city and all over the country. San Francisco Is to-day one of the most prosperous citles in the country and California is also one of the most prosperous. States of the Union. You don't see two men making application for one job. On the other hand, while I was touring the State I had people come_and tell me that they are short of men and had lots of work for them to do. This is all owing to the Republican administration. I will make only one promise if I am elected —and that I will surely be. When I go to Sacramento next January I will treat every man, woman and child with respect. 1 will use every effort to make my administration a satisfactory one to all. During. the evening Congressman Loud, Judge Carroll Cook, Charles F. Curry, W. ‘W. Shannon and A. J. Treat addressed the meeting. RIS A PARDEE MONEY IS OFFERED. Noisy Supporters of Lane Fail to s Produce Coin. Early yesterday afternoon sanguine Re- publicans began to bet freely on Pardee's election, and within two hours’ time the noisy talk of Lane money was silenced. Men with the coin to post that Pardee would be elected went first to the office of an evening paper, where it was re- have a phenomenal majority in November.” z e e e et el REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR LIEUTENANT 'GOVERNOR AND STATE PRINTER, PROMINENT STUMP SPEAKERS WHO HAVE ARGUED SUCCESSFULLY FOR PROTECTION TO AMERICAN INDUSTRIES AND LABOR AND SCENES ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE CAMPAIGN WHICH CAME TO A CLOSE YESTERDAY. ported that a vast sum of money was on deposit to be wagered on Lane's election. ‘When the Pardee money was produced the self-elected custodians of the Demo- cratic betting reserve were forced to con- fess that the fund was exhausted. Ths betting supporters of Pardee next visited Corbett’s, as the report had been noisily circulated that there was plenty of Lane money at this establishment. Coin to Vager that Pardee would be elected Gov- ernor was produced; but no takers were found. Corbett reported that all the Lane money on hand had been posted. He added that he expected some more later on. The same story,was told in other places. As the evening hours wore on the Lane money grew scarcer at the seloons where small sums had been re- ported. Before midnight the panic spread to Los Angeles, and the odds there in Pardee’s favor quickly advanced. The Republicans are confident of Pardee's election. The prospects of a large Re- publican vote in San Francisco are hourly growing brighter. Late last night tele- grams from Stockton, Santa Clara and Los Angeles were received at committee headquarters. On the strength of these assuring. -telegrams the leaders of the campaign increased their estimates of Pardee’s majority in the State. The Eugene F. Loud Club of the Thirty- fourth District, H. P. Coles president and A. J. Bolting secretary, issues an important address to the voters. The ad- dress shows that Mr. Loud has secured many benefits for the Fifth Congressional Distrjct and the whele State. Among the recent benefits mention is made of these: For.a hew Postotfice, $2,500,000; for remov- ing obstructions in harbor, $775,000; for Alviso harbor, $46,800; for Redwod City, $8600, and bas been instrumental in securing in the last year: for a new custom-house, $1,000,000, and orders by which 250,000 pairs of shoes were manufactured in unton' work shops of San Francisco. Because of his position at the head of the postoffice committee of the House of Repre- sentatives the following additions have been mado to our city postal service: Number of postoffice stations and sub-stations increased to the number of sixty-five, thereby placing a postoffice within easy reach of the people in every part of the city. | The Eugene F. Loud Club calls attention to o —_ e this record, of which it is proud, and asks that it reccive the consideration of all. The benefits that may be derived eby the city through the election of an able member of Congress cannot be overestimated, and such action always brings advantages to the work- ingmen, the merchant and the manufacturer. We have good reasons for our choice. The people of San Francisco owe a debt of gratitude to the Republican party for its action in using this port as the great depot from which supplies have been forwarded to the troops operating in the Philippines and where has been centered all the great busi- ness occasioned by these operations. The address is signed by eighty-seven well-known citizens who are enrolled on the executive committee of the club. LABOR PARTY’S RALLY. Workingmen Pack Mechanics’ Pavil- ion to Hear Their Candidates. The Labor party brought its campaign to a close last night with a street parade, in which about 10001 union men participat- ed, and a rally that packed Mechanies’ Pavilion to its utmost capacity. The conciuding ceremonies were strictly for the benefit of the Union Labor party. Not a single banner or transparency car- ried in the parade alluded to the standard bearer of the Democratic party. The name of Franklin K. Lane was not men- tioned once during the meeting at the Pavilion. John Coglan presided at the meeting. James de Succa was the first speaker to be introduced. He advocated the election of Willlam {J. Wynn to Congress. 'P. H. McCarthy, president of the Building Trades Council, endeavored to impress the meeting with a sense of the importance of the issues at stake in the campaign. After a young man from the Tanners’ Union had sung a song in which the abil- ities of Walter Gallagher were praised to the skies, Michael Casey requested ' the crowd to stand by Livernash and Wynn and elect them to Congress. Richard Cornelius of the Street Rallway Men’s Un- ion was given a flattering reception whén he rose to speak. E. J. Livernash made a short speech, céunseling the workingmen to support the Union Labor ticket and to vote for all the party’s candidates without exception. In conclusion he paid tribute to the ability of ‘William- Alford. Livernash’s speech was interrupted by the entrance of Willlam J. Wynn, whom the crowd greeted with liberal cheers. Wynn also made a short talk, in which he predicted success for the entire ticket. The meeting was addressed by Willlam Langdon, who made a favorable im- pression; Henry B. Lister, William &. White, John Heenan, William J. Kenny, Henry Bunker, E. J. Reynolds and Walter Gallagher. p Bulleting at Press Club. Special wires have been run into the Press Club rooms on Ellis street and the election returns will be received there to- night. Members of the club have been jn- vited to bring their friends to learn what was done at the ballot box.

Hender- son, Republican candidate for Railroad Commissioner for the Third District, is sending telegrams all over the tountry asking the police to arrest him for viola- tion of the purity of elections law. Heenderson’s quest for Stockford is the outcome of an alleged attempt on the part of the labor advocate to sell his in- fluence with the labor union of which he is secretary. Stockford went to M. P. Henderson, father of the candidate and member of the county committee, with a proposition to prevent the publication of an anti-Henderson resolution that his union proposed to pass. As an earnest of his good faith he readily signed the following agreement that was submitted to him by the county committee: STOCKTAN, Cal,, Oct. 29, 1902. For the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars I hereby agree to prevent the circulation of the resolutions concerning S. Henderson, adopted by the Union Labor Central Club of Stockton and San Joaquin County. W. W. STOCKFORD, Sec. Ex. Com. Union Labor Central Club. STOCKFORD’'S DOUBLE DEAL. The offer bears date of October 29. The morning after it was written, however, the very resolutions that Stockford agreed to sell appeared in e Bakersfield Cali- fornian, showing that Stockfo: had at- |tempted a double deal and had failed through the slipping of a cog somewhere. He never got a cent from the Republican County Committee though, because the committee withheld his agreement on the pretense that it would consider it. Now Stockford is missing. Fear for the consequences of his hazardous ven- ture on paper has caused Lim to flee. Henderson is sending a message to the police that says, after reciting the agree- ment: Party has skipped.
