E PARTI CIVE MCKINLAT W ARM GREETING Voters of San Rafael Turn Out in Large Numbers to Greet Nominee forCongress l —— s CITY IS ILLUMINATED Hearty Cheers Given to Can- didate Show Him to Be Strong in Marin County B R Special Dispatch to The Call. Notwithstanding a heavy downpour, the people of San Rafael turned out in large numbers to-night to hear the pelitical issues discussed by Duncan E. McKinlay, the nominee for Congress from the Second District, and James MecLachlan. The Opera-house was well filled with an enthusiastic audience, which hearti- ly indorsed the sentiments of the speak- ers, breaking into applause at the men- tion of the names of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The enthusiasm hanced by the string music Fifth Regiment band. Republican sentiment is very strong in Marin County, and the adherents of protection and prosperity in San Rafael was of en- the took occasion to show their devotion to the party. Prior to the opening of the meeting the streets were illuminated in a brilliant manner. The chairman of the meeting was E. B. Martinelli, Many prominent citizens of San Rafé:l and Marin County were seated on the stage as vice presidents. dcKinlay was the first speaker. He discussed the political issues for an hour, explaining the doctrines and prin- ciples of the party and recited the | splendid advantages that have accrued to the nation under Republican ad- ministrations. He was warmly received, and the hearty applalise given him proved the sentiments entertained toward him and Jjustified the claim that Marin County’s majority for him next month will ap- proach the thousand mark. Congressman McLachlan was then introduced and spoke briefly but forci- whose nstance, the sy aid, he had come up to the onal Dis- trict to make a personal investigation of the needs of this section, He said { he had gained much information that could not be obtained from any amount of reading. He urged the election of McKinlay to Congress, advancing un- answerable arguments to support his requests. McKinlay was given. the closest attention throughout his speech and made a deep impression upon every one present. The meeting was adjourned with three rousing cheers for Roosevelt and the Republican party. A McKinlay and Congressman Mec- Lachlin arrived in San Rafael early this afternoon and, notwithstanding the fact that it rained in torrents, they made an inspection of the water front of San Rafael Both men were strongly impressed with the situation, and hope in the near future to make use of the ast waterway surrounding this city. + + bers of the party were escorted to the Salt Lake Theater, where Senator Fair- banks addressed one crowds seen on the trip. Governor Heber M. Wells presided at the meet- ing. Besides the immedate members of the party, seated on the stage with Senator Fairbanks were Apostles John Henry Smith and Lyman of the Mor- mon church. In the audience were many Mormon leaders from all parts of the country, who are here in attend- | ance upon the semi-annual conference of their church. In his address Senator Fairbanks spoke of the stability of Republican policies, saying they are the same un- der Theodore Roosevelt as they were under Abraham Lincoln. Not only, however, should a Republican Presi- dent be elected, but a Republican Con- gress as well. “We can’t run the gov- ernment of this country on one wheel,” he said. 3 Senator Dolliver spoke briefly, and speaking of President Roosevelt, Sen- ator Dolliver sald: ““We are running a man for President to whom we had been introduced be- fore he became a candidate. He was born in New York, but he got away as soon as he could, and he is the first man born in that city I ever heard of who amounted to anything.” He then referred to Judge Parker, saying: “If the Democrats go on lying about Roosevelt I propose to tell the truth about Parker.” The audience cheered when the Sen- ator expressed the opinion that Utah had recovered from its “delusion on the silver question.” After the mgeting the Fairbanks par- ty was entertained at luncheon at the Knutsford Hotel, at the conclusion of which they left for Evanston, Wyo. EVANSTON, Wyo., Oct. 7.—This little city on the extreme western bor- der of Wyoming to-night holds within ite borders six United States Senators. They are Messrs.

Senator Fulton rejoined the party at Ogden. He had intended leaving for his home in Oregon last night, but, failing to get & train, decided to re- main with the Senatorial party for the present. A meeting was held in the opera- ouse here soon after 8 o’clock.

E. Hayes, candidate from the Fifth District, will address the meeting, which promises to be not only interesting from a political stand- point but entertaining as well. The blare of bands and the crackling of bonfires will tell the people that the night for the meeting is at hand. In | addition to the speeches of the candi- dates and others there will be mus songs and various entertaining feat- ures within the theater and a vote- | winning night is anticipated. From | that evening on through the campaign the Congressional fight will be carried on with vigor and the Republicans are confident of reclaiming the Fourth and Fifth districts. On Wednesday, the 19th inst., Julius Kahn will address the voters of the Forty-fiftth Assembly District Steimke Hall. Other dates of meetings at which the Congressional nominees will speak have not yet been announced, Interest in the contest in the Second Congr nal District is increasing as the campaign grows on. Latest reports show that there is a solid Republican alignment for Duncan E. McKinlay and that he is making steady gains. | Sacramento is going to inaugurate an | interesting series of meetings on the 19th in on behalf of Roosevelt and Fairbanks and Mr. McKinlay. These affa will be unique in the history of campaigning in California. LADIES WILL LEND AID. For the purposes in view the Repub- licans have rented two floors of the Sacramento Pythian Castle in which they will hold their meetings. At the meeting of the 19th inst.,, one floor of the castle will be given over to the ladies of Republican affiliation and there they will hold a merry social, winning votes with womanly logic while they entertain their guests with & musical programme and refresh- ments. At the same time their husbands, sweethearts, fathers and brothers will be doing politics_in the good old-fash- ioned way on the other floor. A pro- gramme has been prepared, speakers have been selected and all looks well for the suecess of the venture. Bert Cavanagh will preside at the men’s meeting and see that the enthusiasm is kept at the flood. All indications point to a Republican majority in Sac- ramento of 1000. The reception tendered Mr. McKinlay in Napa Thursday was a striking dem- onstration of the sentiment prevailing at the home of his opponent and a fit- ting evidence of the appreciation given the worth and ability of the Republican nominee. Mr. McKinlay, accompanied by his wife and James McLachlan, ar- rived in Napa before noon and spent two hours visiting the Napa State Hos- pital. Upon coming to town Mrs. Mc- Kinlay was tendered an informal re- ception by a number of members of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyterian church. Mr. McKinlay made a tour of the tanneries, factories and business es- tablishments of Napa, gaining many friends during the afternoon. MEETING IS A BIG ONE. The meeting in the evening filled the opera-house to overflowing, the throng standing on the stairway to hear the splendid addresses. «Ex-Congressman Frank L. Coombs presided and paid a tribute to the worth and ability of the party nominee. Enthusiasm was at a high pitch, and the splendid resume of national issues given by the principal speaker received the closest attention, being frequently interrupted by cheers. His arguments were clean cut and forcible, his illustrations appealing to the audience with striking effect. He disclaimed any purpose of appealing for support on his personality, and placed his candidacy on the broad plane of party issues and principles. Mr. McKinlay was followed by Con- gressman McLachlan, who spoke main- ly on the issue of the tariff and its ef- fect on the industries of the country, and especially of California. Facts | within his own knowledge were ad-{ duced to substantiate his claims, and his able address proved very convinc- ing. Sentiment in Napa County shows a strong trend toward McKinlay, who will poll his entire party strength there and who will also receive many Demo- cratic votes. A wager of $1000 on his election offered by a prominent Demo- crat has been up several days without takers. The Democracy is dis- heartened, as shown by the fact that but one man from Napa attended the Fifth Senatorial District Convention in Vallejo Thursday. The Republicans, on the other hand, are well organized and enthusiastic. Ben Rush, the Republi- [ can nominee, will carry the district by an overwhelming majority. The McKinlay-Belshaw Republican i Club was organized at Corte Madera last evening, sixty-four members sign- ing the roll. The officers chosen were George A. Dodge, president; Messrs. E. C. Chapman, J. C. Perry and J. W. Dolliver, vice presidents, and Charles J. Wall, secretary. Speeches. were made by Messrs. Dodge, Chapman and Perry and the meeting adjourned at a late hour with three rousing cheers for Roosevelt and sound money. - BARD MEETS CITIZENS. United States Senator Thomas R.

Julius Kahn, candidate for Congress from the ES CHOOSE THEIR CANDIDATES Governor Bates Is Nominated | for Third Term by Republicans BOSTON, Oct. 7.—The Republican State Convention met to-day and nom- inated a State ticket and Presidential | electors. Attorney General William H. | Moody was elected permanent chair- man and in his speech paid an elo- quent tribute to the late Postmaster General Payne. He reviewed the Re- publican administration, commencing with the election of President McKin- ley in 1896, which he characterized as the beginning of an epoch that is not vet ended. He predicted victory in the coming election, basing his claim upun; ' i | the achievements of Republican na- . tional administrations. | In referring to the question of reci- | procity with Canada, Moody said: ! It 1= of the nighest importance to this coun- | try and to the world that the two English | speeking nations sheuld forever remain at; | peace, and for that reason it is important that | our relations with England's great dependency to the northward should be and continue hans monions. 1 think 1 may safely assure you that in the ne ture this Government will | azaln invite Canada to consider in a friendly spirit our trade relations. The speaker, referring | Parker's letter of acceptance, in which | Parker declared he would reduce the | larmy and navy to a point sufficient | | only for the protection of the country, | said he would like to know where ;Palkel' would draw the line. “On this question of the standing army,” said Moody, “I can only call your attention to the statements of neral Miles at | the peace congress yesterday that in his opinicn the army of the United States was what it should be, and,” added the speaker, “General Miles is | a man of peace.” | The resolutions adopted commend | the administration of President Roose- | velt and pledge unswerving support to | the national ticket; indorse the entire | platform of the Republican National | Convention at Chicago, particularly those planks in favor of the main- tenance of the gold standard and con- tinues: We belleve that still further measures should | taken toward negotiating reciprocity treaties with forelgn countries and with Canada and Newfoundland, up terms and conditions as will secure Jargement of our foreign trage, for the. coms | mon benefit of our prineipl »ver recipro- cal arrangements can be effected consistently | with the principles of protectian and without injury to American agriculture, American la- | bor, American industries, or when, as Presi- | dent Roesevelt said in his message of 1902, “the minimum damage done may be disre- garded for the sake of the maximum of good accomplished." The followirg ticket was then nom- inated: Governor, John L. Bates; Lieutenant Governor, Curtis Guild Jr. Secretary of State, W am M. Oli Treasurer and Receiver General, Ar- thur D.

Congressman Addresses Workmen on Matters of Interest to them. Congressman E. J. Livernash ad- | dressed the workmen of the Union | Iron Works during the noon hour yes- terday. He was listened to attentive- Iy throughout his address, which touched on matters directly affecting the men that made up his audience. Ir part he said: The little time we can b together Yo-day will not ypermit an extsnded discussion of public afizirs: but, as the men of the Union Ircn Works have a direct interest in the use made of the nav yards of the coumtry, 1 shall devote most of my speech to the subjict, N n ber of Congress nor other- wise have I ever been opposed to the buflding or the repair of ships in the navy yards of the United States. On the contrary, 1 have at all times been strongly in favor of giving those yarde the major part of the work of our navy, ~ under conditions preventive of the abuses which in the long-ago characterized some of them. Moreover, I have ardently advocated going further than the building and repair of our naval vessels in the Government's yards;. for in and out of Congress I have stood for estab- lishing a Federal armor place factory and for enlarging the naval gun factory at Washington, 1 have not been satisfied to aee all the armor of our mavy manufactured by unscrupulous non- unlon private concerns, as is now the case, and I have not been content to see the Gov. ernment turning over to extortionate privas plants 80 much of the manufacture of our naval armament as it has been doing. 1 dd not wish to be understood as in favor of crippling the Union Iron Works, the Risd Iron Works or the Fulton Iron Works. It has seemed to me important that they receive some of the Government's work, whatever may be or may bccome the resources of the navy yards of the country; and I have stood and now stand for giving them a fair share of what- ever contract work the Government withholds from Its own plants, Accordingly, I spoke and voted in the House of Representatives for a return to the 4 per cent ‘differential” equal- izing tre difference between the cost of u- facturing shibe on the Atlantie coast and the téolt'to! manufacturing ships on the Pacific oast. We know very well that all the steel re- quired iz shipbuilding here has to be trans- ed across the continent, and we know that el costs more in San Francisco than at New- port News and In Pennsylvania: and, for my part, I do not wish to see all of the future con- tract work of the United States navy exeauted on the Atlantic seaboard. I think the hun- dreds of workers whose homes are in this city and whose employment depends on the business of our private shipbuilding plants; and I think of the capital invested in those plants; und I think of the trade of our city in general. The fight for an_ eight-hour dav in plants such ag the Union Iron Works will be carried on in Washington until it 1s won. So will be the fight for enlarging the naval gun factory. So will be the fight for establishing a Gov- ernment factory for the manufacture of armor plate. So will be the fight for giving to the navy yards the larger share of the Govern- ment's shipbuilding. So will be the fight for reasonable control of the 1 have no doubt of it. Time and persistent will for us. Named for Congress in Missouri. ST.

Nathan Matthews was chairman of | the convention, and declared that the prosperity with which certain indus- tries and sections of this country have for some years been blessed is already | on the wane, and that there is a gen- eral and growing dissatisfaction with the commercial policies which, with other causes, are responsible for these conditions. He said, in conclusion, that at the present moment the com- mercial outlook for New England is darker than at any time since the war | of 1812, The unanimity of the leaders with | respect to the ticket to be nominated wa# most remarkable. The names | agreed upon were: William L. Doug- las of Brockton, for Governor; John C. | Croshy of Pittsfield, for Lieutenant Governor; Henry T.

Tetraull of South Bridge, for State Au- ditor. The nominations were made without a dissenting vote. The platform adopted by the conven-! tion indorses the national candidate and platform; assails the protective t.rifr.l charging that the system of protection is responsible for the prosperity of "the‘ huge industrial giants otherwise known | as ‘infant industries,’ basking peaceful- | Iy in the sunshine of the Dingley tariff, | content with the assurance that no Re-| publican Government agent will ‘run amuck’ or in any way disturb their monopolistic tranquillity.” The platform also declares in favor| of Philippine independence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The first con- ference between Judge Herrick, Demo- cratic candidate for Governor of New York, and Judge Parker took place to-day at the apartments of the latter. Daniel 8.

The legal advisers of the assoclation have been canvassing the situaticn for sev- eral weeks and it is their opinion that there is a doubt about the legality of holding such an election now. A com- munication setting forth the position of the city's business men in the matter will prcbably be sent to the Board of Supervisors at an early date. | The law provides that cnns(imtionalj amendments shall be submitted to the people for approval not oftemer than once in two years. There is some doubt as to whether this means the voting shall not take place oftener than once in two vears or that the Legislature shall finally ratify amendments only biennially. The association feels that the making of amendments to the char- ter is of such an important nature that a vote should not be taken unless it is | clear that the decision of the people | | will be final. The last vote on amendments took | place at a special election held in De- cember, 1902. Two years will not have elapsed, therefore, when the November | election oceur: The association makes no objection to the amendments, but simply wishes to have the vote taken legaly.

For three hours the battle raged and ended with the sophomores dividing among themselves the shreds of their great red flag, which had been the sub- Ject of the most strenuous class fight ever held here. The authorities regret the dangerous feature of the raft and the fighting in deep water and this, perhaps, will not be allowed to occur as a part of a sub- sequent annual rush. ————————— MISSIONARY SCOUTS IDEA OF THE YELLCW PERIL Rev.
