That the probesal to issue bonds for the improvement and adornment of Oakland is an 21l absorbing topic of in- terest among public spirited citizens of the community has been proved by the fact that although the past week has| been as a holiday period three bond| meetings have been held by local im- provement organizations in widely sep- arated sections of the ecity. The Piedmont District Improvement Club held its first bond rally last Tues- day evenin, The meeting was well gt- tended in spite of the fact that thou- sands from this ¢ity were absent in San Francisco. The meeting was addressed by Supervisor H. D. Rowe, Judge E. M. Gibson, P. Fisher and the Rev. Miles B. Fisher. On the same evening the Northwest Oakland Improvement Club held a large and enthusiastic bond meeting. The speakers were Councilman Elliott, Pro- fessor L. D. Inskeep. Edwin Stearns, Charles Descormes, Edwin Sutherland Herby. Both these organiza- s indorsed the proposed issue of im- provement bonds.

DOUBT ABOUT. ~MAINES VOTE | Politicians of Both | Plurality Will Be Reduced | Special Dispatch to The Call | AUGUSTA, Me.. Sept. 11.—The Maine State electic 3. | | by both sides and it is expected a large total vote will be polled. Politicians of both parties agree that the Republican majority will not be so large as it was in recent years. A dif- ference of opinion, however; exists as comparison with the present one. The Republicans insist that the only true basis-for comparifon is the vote of I for it was in that campaign. that the Maine Democrats were unanimous:in dentiment. That = year- Henry = B. Cleaves, the Republican candidate for Governor, received a plurality of 12 503. = and frege silver out of the campaign, tke Democrats are again unanimous. This statement, however, is contradict- ed by some of the radical among the | party. There are many Bryan Demo- | | crats in Maine and the name of Parker | has caused no enthusiasm among them. It may be fair to assume that many of the Democrats will now take occasion tc retaliate upon the gold Democrats who forsook Bryan and this year either remain uway from the polls or else | vote the Republican ticket. In the campaign just closed the na- tional issues have occupied a minor place. From one end of the State to | | various local issues. If.the vote to- morrow should be entirely on national issues it is believed that Maine would show a plurality of 25,000 or 30,000 for Roosevelt. With State issues and local contests involved it is difficult to esti- mate what plurality William T. .Cobb, the Republican candidate for Governor, will get. He expects not léss than 15, 000 plurality. Representative Burleigh said that he believes that the plurality will be from 12,000 to 15,000. Representative Powers places the figures at from 15,000 to 18,- 000. The Republican State Committee believes that Represen:iative Powers’ figures will be realized. . George E. Hughes, the Democratic | member.of the naticnal committee, be- surprised, he says, below 5000. pRAS VT PLATT FOR WOODRUFF. Senator, After Conference With Odell, Makes Announcement.
