Bray to pay aa gssesment levied June 20 of § cents a sbare o3 31,111 shares of the company’s g= 1, pany's stock npd held at Sausalito to-night in honor of Duncan E. McKinlay, the Republican candidate for Congress from the Sec- ond District. This was the opening of the Repub- lican campaign in Marin County, and, although the weather was unfavorable, the residents of Sausalito gave Mc- Kinlay a hearty welcome. The Sausalito band met McKinlay at the ferry and escorted him to the hall, which was.crowded to overflow- ing. When he took hs seat upon the platform he was heartily cheered and it was some moments before Chairman W. J. Martin could call the meeting to order. Martin opened the meeting, and in a brief talk introduced{ McKinlay. The Chairman said that McKinlay was undnimously nbminated by the Repub- licans of Santa Cruz in response to the demands made by the people in every ‘county in the Second District. In every sense of the-word, he said, he is the champion of the American workingmen and the industries, and is the people’s choice for Congress. 4 McKinlay was cheered again and again after his address, which was as follows: “I am more than gratified at the op- portunity of meeting so many of the citizens of Sausalito and adjacent por- tions of Marin County for the purpose of discussing the all important issues of the campaign upon which we are now entering, a campaign recognized by the leading statesmen of the na- tion, irrespective of party, as one which the results for good or for evil are vastly more significant in many re- spects than any national or State cam- paign since the splendid victory of 1896 re-established Republicanism, restored protection, destroyed financial heresies, indorsed a sound monetary system and elected that broad, liberal, progressive statesman, that mighty champion of American labor and American indus- tries, the well-beloved McKinley. ““This campaign is all important be- cause all that was then wrested from Democracy is in jeopardy; because the splendid -policy inaugurated by Mec- Kinley after his inauguration in 1897 and so gloriously carried out, first un- der his own direction, and since his la- mentable death by President Roose- velt, is being most recklessly and vi- ciously attacked hy the Democratic party, greedy for office, regardless of the cost to the nation and to the peo- ple; because the great achievements of the last eight vears are set at naught by our political adversaries; be- cause the mighty work ~of the upbuilding, the consolidation and the expansion of the nation accomplished by the last two Republican adminis- trations, aided by the Republican par- ty, will be to a great extent undone un- less the people at the polls on the Sth day of November again emphasize their g satisfaction and approval of the admin- trators of the policies of Republican- sm- and elect Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself for another four years. A SPLENDID RECORD. ““The issue raised by the Republican party is the splendid record which it has made since the victory of 1896 and the inauguration of President McKin- ley in 1897. The Republican party is satisfied' with that record as a whole and with every part of it, too. They are satisfied” with the fact tijat since 1896, by and through the means of their protective tariff policy, they have transformed industrial disorder of the gravest kind into wonderful pros- perity. They are~satisfied with the fact .that in eight years they have changed commercial sloth and leth- argy into marvelous achievements. They are satisfied with the fact that they have confirmed and established throughout the nation the most logi- cal and most efficient monetary sys- tem known in the world to-day, which is evidenced by the fact that all other nations, which _since 1896 have changed their mometary system, have followed the plan adopted by the Re- publican party. The Republican | party is satisfied” with the fact that since 1896 the armies of the unem- ployed, amounting to over three mil- lion men, which at that time was surging through the States and Terri- tories threatening the institutions of the republic, have been absorbed into a splendid industrial system, which to- day gives employment to nearly seven millions of industrial workers. “They are satisfied with the fact that at last, after more than seventy years of legislation, discussion and agita- tion, both national and international, a bill has been passed through the House of Representatives, through the Senate and signed by the Presi- dent, providing for the construction of the isthmian canal, and despite the intrigues and machinations of - cor- porations and adverse influences, a treaty has been signed with the State of Panama whereby the United States acquires a strip of territory ten miles wide through Panama and that now the dreaming of the navigajors and statesmen of the world will be realized and before the end of Roosevelt's next administration, in all human probability, the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific will mingle as they ebb and flow throygh the great waterway, bearing upon the bosom of their tides the ships of commerce and the ships of war of all the nations of te world, under the shadow of the Ameri- can flag and under the sanction of American law. ¥ CREDIT TO PERKINS. “Referring to his own candidacy, Mr.' McKinlay said that his opponent and his managers were extremely de- sirous of evading the issues of the ! campaign and of trying to confine the I I ELECTION W AGERING 18 LIGiT {Republicans Offer Two to, One on Roosevelt, but the Parker Supporters Are Asking for Greater Odds EVEN MONEY ON NEW YORK STATE Commission Houses Make Complaint Over Lack of Democratic Coin to Back Up Boasts of Leaders) L g v Special Di i to The Call, NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—Betting odds on the Presidential eiection continue unchanged, with a tendency shown to- ward bigger odds from the Republican ‘standpoint. There is accumulating on the Broad street curb a large supply of Roosevelt money at 2 to 1, but the Democratic supporters demand 5 to 2. On the result of the State election even money is still wagered, with slightly more Republican funds offer- ing, making ‘the betting market favor Higgins’ chance. - In the last part of the week Repub- lican funds seemed to swamp the bet- ting market. Various stock houses an- nounced that they had money to wager, but complained arterward that there were not enough takers. An- nouncements like these have been made quite frecuently: “Gunnell, Buchanan & Company have the following cdmmissions to place on thesforthcoming election: $2000 even that Roosevelt ca:ries West Vir- ginia; $7000 even that Roosevelt carries New York State and $29,000 on Roose- velt at 2 to 1 on the general result.” G. B. Buchanan of that firm said to- day that he had received some inquir- ies concerning his offer, but that was all. Other firms who have made simi- lar announcements 8say there'is a lack of interest displayed: Democratic pol- iticians say that when the State Sen- ate and Assembly candidates have been | chosen iaterest-»ill ‘be. augmented. PR Pl B dat L. 1. e e atfention of the Voters of the district to the so-called record of Mr. Bell Mr. McKinlay then took up Mr. Bell's record, and, quoting from the Sacra- mento Bee, which 'claimed that Mr. | Bell. was instrumental in securing an appropriation from Congress for the building of a collier to be used by the United States navy at a cost of $1,260,000, showed conclusively that ‘this was an absurd statement, giving the history of that bill, which -was the naval appropriation bill. The naval appropriation bill was introduced into the House of Representatives and passed by the House of Representatives and was transmitted to the Senate without any clause either in its body or as an amendment providing for‘the building of a collier in the national shipyard. When the bill came into the Senate Senator Perkins, the second in rank on the Naval Affairs Committee, observing that the naval appropriation bl provided for the building of two colliers, but not designating where they should be built, added an amend- ment to that bill providing that one of those colliers should be built in the Government navy yard at Norfolk, Va., and the other in the Mare Island Navy Yard in California. Mr. Bell had nothing whatever to do with the passage of that measure excepting”to vote for it and to speak for it, the same as the Republican members. In fect, Mr. Bell could not have success- fully opposed the bill if he had wanted ‘to. It was something that was entire- ly beyond his control”and outside of his influence. “Take heed to see to it that you vote for Republicans §gst and last, and all the way through, m a Republican President to the smallest officer,upon the ticket, because we know that if Republicans stand firm in this hour in California the resiilt will be the giving to Roosevelt and Fairbanks the great- est majority ever given by this com- monwealth to a President of the United States. The result will be the sending back to Washington of a solid Republican delegation from the Golden State to uphold their hands and to aid them in promoting their great designs and mighty purposes.” Stephen H. Ohmstead, candidate for the Assembly, made a brief address and received great applause. The following gentlemen acted as vice presidents for the evening: C. H. Bexer, M. Classer, Captain J. C. Cantwell, J. H. Pryor, Joseph V. Silva, W. G. Morrow, W. W. ‘Wilde, J. M. Kilgard, L. C. Pistolesi, Dr. William, W. M. Field, ‘D. “T. Till- inghast, W. Z. Tiffany, George Har- lan, E. L. Braswell, T. M. Mullahy, ‘Will Harrison, Dr. J. Shaw, Joseph Lawrence. - Thé meeting was adjourned with three rousing cheers for McKinlay and the Republican party. ——————————— Woes of Two Sailors.” William Lewis, who, when aboard his ship, is a valiant man behind one of the Independence’s ancient castiron gyns, came down from Mare Island yesterday on a pleasure cruise. . observed a number of men pumping out a flooded basement on Market street and proceeded to show them how saflors would get rid of the surplus water. Lewis fell down into the base- ment, lacerated his scalp and bruised himself considerably. He was hauled out and tgken to the Harbor Emer- gency Hospital, where his wounds were 4 'ARMY OFFICER STRUCK BY CABLE CAR AND- MAY DIE FROM INJURIES Major ¥homas R.

Adams, Artillery Corps, U. 8. A., assistant inspector. gen- eral, Division of the Pacific, was struck by a Powell-street car at the cormer of Post street last night and now lies Hospital. The accident occurred short- Iy before 9 o'clock afd was witnessed by several persons. Major jAdams was-on his way down town, having just left his apartments at the Clarendon Hotel, on Post street, near Mason. He was walking briskly and did not slacken his speed as he ap- proached the corner of Powell street. Southbound. car No. 411 was Jjust crossifigz Post street. The gripman sounded his be]l loudly and at the same time attempted to bring.his car to a standstill. But the rails were slippery, the breaks refused to work and before the speed of the car .could be checked it had knocked the unfortunate army officer down and he lay bleeding and unconscious on. the street. Major Adgms was picked up by the gripman an standers and taken to a nearby drug Store. He was removed arfew minutes later to the Central Emergency Hos- pital, where the physicians’ pronouncad et IR near death in the Central Emergency conductor and several by- | | | | | 1 | . of his recovery, | soldier. fhis injuries serious_and perhaps fatal ,Chief Surgeon J. I. Stephen sald that Major Adams was suffering from a de- pressed fracture of the frontal portion of the skull and from serious internal injuries. Drs. Stephen and Millar per- formead the operation of trepanning the skull and removing .a portion. of the bone with the hope of possibly saving the life of the patient, At an early hour this morning Major Adams was resting easily and the physicians are hopeful though he is still far from having passed the danger point. Major Adams is well known in mili- tary circles all over the country and one of the most popular army officers in this city. He came here to succeed Major John P. Wisser about a year ago. He has a splendid military record and is-known as-an able officer and a brave Joseph .Bojorques, . the gripman in charge of the car, was arrested shortly after the accident.and locked up in the Central Police Station on a charge of battery. He was later released on bail. The -gripman-says -he saw Adams try to crpss the track and rang his bell as a warning, at the same time applying the brakes, but the tracks were, slip- pery and it was impossible for him to stop the car.

TACOMA, Sept. 24.—Arthur Hus- ton put a bullet through his brain in the rooms of Mrs. R. M. Rose at the Fischer Hotel this afternoon. He is the second man to take his life within the last six months on account of the woman. Huston was an educated English- man. Four months ago he met Mrs. Rose and became madly infatuated with her charms. M Rose vainly tried to get rid of him, but she could not. He followed her about from place to place. Recently she gave him the sliv and came to Tacoma. Hus- ton landed here three davs later and found her.at the hotel. She went to another house, but Huston discovered her place of hiding this aftsrnoon. It was his intention to shoot her, but her pleadings and the pathetic at- tempts she made to get out of the room by the fire escape, carrving her child with her, anpealed to the fren- zied man and he shot himself in- stead. Five months ago Mrs. Rose’'s di- vorced husband, finding himself un- gble to live without the woman, went to her home and blew his head off with a shotzun while she was absent. Recently a railroad man of standing became infatuated with Mrs. Rose and his family sent him out of the coun- try to escape her charms. - DEBS DECLARES IS PLATFORY Socialist Nominee for the Presideney Invites Work- ingman to Support Him SERI S In the ring at Woodward's Payilion, where the principles of the Marquis of Queensberry have often been expound- ed. Eugene V. Debs, Presidential can- didate on the Socialist ticket, last night upheld the principles of his par- tv. The attraction did not draw so well as a prize fight, the house being about half filled. Those who did at- tend greeted many of the speaker’s lines of argument with cheers. The Socialist candidate was. somewhat handicapped by a cold, but managed to make himself heard most of the time. “There is just one plank in the So- cialist party,” Said Debs. “It is a' la- bor plank, declaring upen\y in favor of the workingman in the great class war now being waged.” Debs attacked- every other party. After he had aired -his alleged griev- ances ' against the Republicans he burst into a scathing denunciation of the Democratic party and its Presi- dential candidate. He said in part: “This party is known as the gréat unwashed, the ragtag and bobtail. It claims 'to represent the two classes. That is impossible. (?nce this Demo- crati¢ party -reserved 2000 chairs’ at St. Louls for the Citizens’ Alliance of that city. " : “Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac and the merrysmack’’—one minute out for laughter— Hobson, before the JDemocrats at St. Louis, declared that he admired Grover Cleveland because he was strong enough to defy the workingman. This utterance was cheered by the Democrats. “Whod heard of Parker before his nomination? He sprang from nothing in twelve hours. All that was known of him previously was that as a member of the appellate bench in New York he helped make the eight-hour day uncon- stitutional. In one night the Democrats discovered the Moses that was to lead them out of bondage. smokers. It is presumed that the de- ceased committéd suicide.

They took possession of the Democratic party in 2 single night. The Democratic ma- chine is lubricated with Standard Oil Davis was a slave-driver in his youth and is still in the same business. “The . Union Labor party was or- ganized by trickery of the trusts. It is simply a well laid plot to divide the workingmen. There is only one party for the toilers—the Socfalist party. “I do not kmow whether you werk- ingmen will vote for Ben Hanford and myseélf or not. I know that no million- aires will. If no millionaires vote for Socialists, no Socialists should vote for millionaires.
