When he rose to call the meeting to order Chairman Tobin was enthusias- tically greeted. Though the cheers were in tribute to the party and the event at hand, there was also a tone of admiration for the man that led | the Democrats in a former municipal | campaig Mr. Tobin bowed in ac- knowledgment and when quiet came said in part: It secms that many faces of Democrats who have been absent for some years from our meetings are here again and that our party i united.

Sims, ex-State Senator from Santa Rosa anfd ex-chairman of the State Central Committee, was the next speaker. After declaring that Wynn and Livernash had rendered good ser- vice to the party and should be re- elected, he said in part: Under the leadership of Parker and Davis | we will be led to victory, We are united, we have no unnatural allances to corrupt and divide. Judge Parker's candidacy commenced with fidelity to conviction, shown in his cour- ageous statement in his telegram to the co We have been called the parties of the op- position, but the outlook is that we will be united, There are grave questions for which | the Democratic party stands. It i< carnest in | its support of the Panama canal, but it stand for international decency of conduct, that we | should not take property from weak nations. 1 The speaker then said that the Dem- | that could be used for bullying weak nations. He said the republic should not be warlike and seek dominion. Continuing, he said: We will make an appeal to the people on the platform we havé made—a platform for the benefit of the people and not of a favored few The people must consider the head- strong peculiarities of our present President. The speaker then declared that the country was tired of President Roose- and satirized the war record of the chief executive, but his remarks were scantily applauded. He accused the President of being | lukewarm in prosecuting the trusts and | declared that the President had treated | Admiral S8ampson and General Miles in an unfair manner. The reference to Miles drew hearty applause. He sald President Roosevelt had ignored Jef- ferson in one of his books, and further asserted that he wishes to run every department in Washington. The speaker then dwelt on the affairs of the country of the past few years and said: We want a President who §s the antithesis of Mr. Roosevelt, Who will listen to others.

In turn Mr. Tobin a tribute and one of God’'s noble- stamped him as men.” W refreshing in view of memories recent events in the Democratic ranks. It seemed unnatural; it breathed too much of peace, but there were none that hinted that either was not sin- cere. Addressing himself to the pur- pose of the meeting, Mr. Livernash, in his deliberate, pleasing style, said, in part: In choosing a President and a Vice Presi- dent we should counsel with great care. I kuow that President Roosevelt is*an _able, well-meaning man, and that the Republican party holds millions of conscientious, honest men_ but one of the deepest convictions of my life ‘is that the welfare of this mation would be advanced by placing another party in power; by placing in the Presidential chair Alton B, Parker. The atmosphere of dout the nation Hard times are workingmen here know thi ponder upon it. In the South discontent exists through that unhappy in- terference in the negro question. In financial clicles there ix uncertainty as to what Roose- velt may do sloshing about midst the nations of the earth. In the mercantile world wages are less and production is less. To all of you 1 say that the tide of prosperity is on the ebb. " Two years ago it set in and to- day it flowing more and more toward disaster. The Republican administration under Roose- velt has given us three things—doubt, slump and a 70-cent dollar. That Roosevelt has courage No one can deny. So has the man that smokes in a.powder mill. I have con- cluced that he has too much martial spiri The strenuous strenuosity of strenuousness is admirable when confined as it was in his charge up San Juan Hill, but when it steadily shows itself in the White House it becomes @ menace and inquietude must follow. 5 The nation needs a change and I am not afraid the Democratic party will make an over-radical change. I anything I fear it leans more toward extreme conservatism than radicalism. I earnestly hope this campaign we are entering on will continue to be con- @ucted with the spieit of good temper. The Unfon belongs to us all and is dear to us all. The great majority of its people are intensely patrictic. Let this be a_campaign of edu tion and whether we be Democrats or Repub. licans, Prohibitionists or Socfalists, let us all be Americans, clasping hands under the folds of Old Glory. FUN FOR-AUDIENCE. Charles W. Sweigert was then intro- duced to the audience and he delivered a speech characterized by many jokes that kept his audience in constant laughter. He referred to the Republi- ¢an party and the career of President Roosevelt in a humorous strain and brought in many local topics in a jest- ing mood. James G. Maguire followed Mr. Swef- gert, His introduction to the audlence was the signal for an enthusiastic dem- onstration. He immediately entered into a discussion of the points upon which he believes the fate of the cam- paign hangs. He said in part: It ls a pleasure to see a reunited and har- monlous Democracy that intends to battle for the common cause, I gee here men who be- Heve In the party, But who have been sepa- rated on account of certain issues. I am delighted to see that the ardor for the grand principles of Democracy is not damp- ened and feel aseured that under the leader- ship of that grand leader, Judge Parker, a great victory will be won in November, In all civilized countries there are two great forces. The one we represent stands for the uplifting of the people and equal rights to all and for local seif-government. Demoeracy fs the exponent of these principles, while the Re- pubilcan party stands for the centralization of power and for imperialism._ That is the history of the, Republican party. It uses its POWer to enrich the favorites at the expense of the taxpayers. Democracy will not make one set the bearer of burdens for the enrich- ment of others. The Republican party is called a business party. and it can always do_business. The Democratic party doesn’t, The Republican party fights in the committees of Congress for the divislons of the spoils 80 as to enrich certain classes and award privileges. They battle in secret, and when each one knows what his is charged upon us. You Go home and we find that is would y clase is to get, back | and do busine: This showering of compliments | of | | elected; n they go out sublican union for busi only There are two great forces battling for | supremacy in this country, and we must de cide as to the party with which we will cast | our lot.

Judge Parker was nominated on | account of his sterling qualities and his ex- | | alted position, which he has filled with dig- nity for seventeen vears and with the greatest satisfaction, AN IDEAL AMERICAN. No man s more American than Juds ker, or a more ideal American, and he was also selected because he is from New York. | He will carry New York, and that means the | defeat of Rocsevelt. Roosevelt's administration is not a able one: it is not like that of McKinley the Republican party took credit for the p perity in McKinley's time, when it must take discredit for the bad times under Roosevelt. | It is my earnest desire to co-operate with Democrats all over the country to bring alwt a change in the administration. We must put the Democratic party in control to check im- | perialism and oligarchy and to bring the de- partments of the Government under the light | of complete investigation. We will deal justly | with those departments, but there must be no tmmunity from prosecution for those who are Par- credit- | 1t | guilty of wrong doing. There must not be | whitewashing for corruptionists. - It is necessary to have a_change in party in control of this country. We must put the | Democratic party in control in order to put an end to the spolls system and end corrup- tion. Judge Maguire was accorded an ova- tion at the termination of his speech and three hearty cheers were given him on the call of a spectator. Thomas O’Connor was then intro- duced to the audience and delivered ‘a short humorous address to those who remained in the building. Chairman Tobin closed the meeting by calling for three cheers for Parker and Davis, which were given in a lusty manner, the band aiding the rati- fication jubilation shouts. e DISAPPROVES OF MANY TEMPORARY Commission Files Formal Protest With Auditor Bachr Against Non- Civil Service Employes.
