84 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1994 o« NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA » SEEK T0 FORCE DENOCRATS 01T Socialists Would Spoil the Ambitions of Four of the Candidates for Assembly FILE THEIR OBJECTION Formal Protest Against Placing Legislative Nomi- nees’ Names on Ticket — . Oskland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 8. County Clerk Cook to-day from E. B. Helfenstein, State secretary of the Soclalist party in California, a formal protest against the placing of names of Democratic nominees for the Assembly in the Forty-seventh, Forty- ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty-first Assem- bly districts on the ticket at the coming election. The Socialist protest is based on the allegation that the Democratic nomi- nees for those four offices failed to re- ceive 3 per cent of the total vote at the last election. The law preventing the placing of party candidates on a ticket when such party failed to poll 3 per cent of the vote at the preceding elec- | tion is cited as a reason why the Coun- ty Clerk should now refrain from put- ting the nominees in the Assembly dis- tricts referred to on the ticket. Clerk Cook will ignore the protest. He explains that the reason why the Dem- | ocratic nominees in the Assembly dis- tricts failed to receive 3 per cent of the vote cast two years ago was because the Democrats fused with the Labor party so far as these nominations were concerned, and, of course, no voles were cast there for any Democratic candidate for the Assembly. The Democratic candidates whom “lerk Cook says he will place on the ticket are as follows: Forty-seventh District, J. N. Joseph; Forty:ninth, John Shay: Fiftieth, P. J. Ryan; Fifty- first, R. Slaughter. The Republican candidates in the same districts are E K. Strowbridge, J. J. Burke, J. A. Bllss‘ and R. H. E. Espey. - FORMALLY OPENS CAMPAIGN. Congressman Livernash Makes an Ad- dress at Carmen’s Headquarters. Congressman E. J. Livernash spoke last evening at the first formal meet- ing of his campaigh. The which was well atténded, was held at Carmen’s Hall, 310 O’'Farrell street. Michael Casey presided and Mr. Liv- ernash’s argument was augmented by Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific Coast, who spoke at length. In addressing the meeting Mr. Livernash said in part ““This being the first formal meeting of my campaign for re-election as a member of the House of Representa- tives, it seems becoming that I brief- 1y outline what I believe my candidacy represents. My candidacy means a desire to stay the President from doing things the constitution says shall be done, if at all, by Congress; a desire to pre- vent majorities in Congress from ig- noring or transgressing the rights of minorities, as those rights exist by vir- ture of the essence of representative government; a desire that the Phil- ippine problem shall be settled with fine regard for the declaration of in- dependence, but with complete ab- sence of partisanship, as becomes a mighty nation dealing with millions of less fortunate fellow creatures; a de- sire for altering a number of tarift schedules, one by one, after carefu! inquiry, where the abuses practiced by trusts have made it clear that change can be effected with advantage to domestic industry in general; a de- sire for destroying some trusts and curbing others, where operations are against the common welfare—trusts which are, while creatures of corpo- ration law, creatures of the state, us- ing their power not for reasonable purposes but to impose upon society extravagant taxation of ali consum- ers, and this for the selfish advantage of a handful of plutocrats; a desire for making the Government as con- siderate an employer as are those pri- vate employers who have agreed with workmen that eight hours a day shall be the ordinary time of toil; a desire tor limiting the use of the writ of in- Junction to its ancient purposes and for prevenling it being used to undermine human liberty; a desire for discouraging the martial spirit so prevalent in American life in so far as the influence of Theodore Roosevelt reaches, and for cultivating the amity Washington =0 urgently recommended to the people whose greatest patriot he will ever be; a desire for restoring our flag to the seven seas; a desire for erushing involuntary servitude among our seamen; a desire for the exercise of greater caution in the regulation of immigration: a desire for the utmost care in dealing with the negro prob- lem; a desire for the rapid growth of San Prancisco, in population, in man- ufactures, in commerce, in cuilture.” Che o s e WILL MANAGE CAMPAIGN.

Covers were laid for 100 and every seat was filled. The room was appropriately decorated for the occa- An excellent menu was served, and at its close surprises were sprung on mem- bers of both commanderies. In behalf of Golden Gate Commandery escort Captain Trebell arose and presented to Oakland Commandery escort a splendid silk American flag, eight feet by four. 1 On its red bars are embroidered the words, “Presented to the escort of Oak- land Commandery No. 11 by Golden Gate Commandery No. 16—Twenty- ninth Triennial Conclave.” This was the first of the surprises of the evening. The second came when Colonel Edwards of Golden Gate Com- mandery was presented with a set of engrossed resolutions signed jointly by the members of Golden Gate and Oak- land commanderies. TRIBUTE TO FLAG. The presentation of the flag to Oak- jand Commandery was made by Cap- tain Trebell, who said in part: *I hope that no sir knight will ever do anything by word or deed that will dull the colors of this the flag we love. Its brilliant colors have remained unsullied for years; none has dared insult it without meeting prompt and deserved punish- ment, and it is safe to say that no one will ever do so. In presenting this to- ken to you, fraters of Oakland, we of Golden Gate Commandery feel that we are handing to our brothers a token which they will appreciate. In behalf of Golden Gate Commandery I present you with this flag.” The speech of Captain Trebell was greeted with rounds of applause, and when the handclapping had died away Captains Gains and Richards accepted the token in behalf of Oakland Com- mandery. They expressed in glowing terms their appreciation of the cour- tesy shown them by their fraters. Am- ple assurance was given that all mem- bers of Oakland would stand by the flag of the country while life lasted. In the opinion of the speakers, the flag, the emblem of liberty, equality and fellowship of man to man, was the finest thing that could possibly be pre- sented. The speakers were greeted with rousing cheers and toasts were drunk to the flag, the commanderies and the speakers. After the presentation of the flag toasts were appropriately responded to by members of both commanderies and the following set of resolutions, splen- didly engrossed on parchment, were presented to Sir Knight Edwards. WORDS OF ESTEEM. “Whereas, Eminent Sir William Ed- wards, past commander of Golden Gate Commandery No. 16, was chairman of the escort committee of the Twenty- ninth annual conclave of the Knights Templar and was in full charge and control of the escort parties acting under his orders and acting under au- thority of the Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar; and “Whereas, Through the foresight and untiring efforts on the part of said Sir Willlam Edwards, the reception and es- corting of our arriving Sir Knights to this conclave were made a conspicuous and brilliant feature of the general hos- pitality to our visiting fraters, which contributed in a marked degree to the signal success of this gloribus carnival, now, therefore, be it “Resolved, That through their offi- cers the conclave escort, consisting of Sir Knights from Oakland Command- ery No. 11 and Golden Gate No. 16, do hereby express their utmost appre- ciation, confidence, love and esteem toward the same Sir William Edwards, past commander of Golden Gate Com- mandery No. 16, Knights Templar. And be it further “Resolved, That a copy of these res- olutions be suitably engrossed and pre- sented to our loved frater, the sub- ject of these resolutions.” ESCORTED TO FERRY.

The expansion in loans since August 27 has been $46,932,- ; 000, the decrease in cash since August| 20 was $47,049,800 and the reduction in | the surplus reserves since that date $45,976,175, while the net decrease in de- posits during this interval has been| ,249,500. The loans were increased last | + week by $2,955,300, probably by the re- sult of commission-houses’ and syndi- cate borrowings and also operations in finance bills. The cash decreased $9,- 156,800, or $1,533,400 more than the esti- mated sum. This discrepancy may be accounted for by large indirect trans- fers of excess internal revenue collec- tions for interior depositories on the last day of the bank week, and also by the bringing over of the difference be- tween the estimated and the actual loss of cash in the previous week. The de- posits were decreased by $7,521,100, a larger weekly contraction than has been shown during the year. The re- sulting decrease in required reserve was $1,880,275, deducting which sum from the loss of cash left § as the re- duction in the surplusreserve to $12,- 636,900. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $23,218,500 public funds, the surplus is $18,441,525; at the corresponding date last year the sur- plus calculated upon general deposits was $16,577,125, and in 1902 it was $1,527,- 850. The statement failed to prove, the sum of the loss of cash less the gain in loans calling for a reduction in deposits of $6,201,500, or $1,319,600 smaller than was shown by the return. There was an increase of $1,215,000 in circulation, chiefly by the large commercial banks. The daily average of clearings during the week was $285,000,000, or $60,000,000 more thah in the previous week. The clearings on Saturday, reflecting Fri- day's business, were $292,889,447, or much above the average. Comparing changes in loans, five banks increased this item by $1,000,000 net, four banks lost $8,000,000 cash and one institution decreased this item by nearly $9,000,000. i .

Public indig- nation is keen over the amazing num- ber of fatalities and accidents which have marked the mimic battles—a num. ber, as has been said, not far short of what might have been expected had the strife been real. These mishaps, the real total of which was not given in the first re- ports, were particularly numerous in those brilliant cavalry charges which the Kaiser delights to witness, but which would be impossible In real war- fare. In one of them over fifty men Wwere unhorsed and more or less badly hurt. In another, where the opposing cavalry forces were brought Into close contact, a trooper ran his lance clear through a hussar, killing him on the spot. Another lancer wounded an op- posing hussar in the leg, injuring him so seriously that the member had to be amputated. During a cavalry charge at Schoenhausen two officers and twen- ty men were unhorsed and injured. some fatally. In another sham fight in the same district the results were still more disastrous, forty-eight men being tumbled out of ‘their saddles and sev- eral of them were killed. In other branches of the service so- called accidents were far less numer- ous, but there were enough of them to show that sham fighting as conduct- ed by the Kaiser is by no means all “make believe.” A private of the Nine- ty-ninth Infantry Regiment was shot dead. In the Kaiser's own regiment of ;the Guards a private was shot in the eye a‘nd permanently blinded. At Mu- bleneischen during an artillery contest a private attached to one of the field | batteries had both his legs blown off. An officer was severely injured by the | explosion of a military balloon, and a similar explosion cost a corporal his life. In an infantry attack a sergeant as killed and a lancer pierced a dra- goon, fatally wounding him. In America or England such a long list of killed and wounded resulting from what are supposed to be blocd- less engagements would arouse a storm of popular indignation that could.be abated only by an investigation and the punishment of those responsible for the blunders. But in Germany that is impossible. It could not be done without involving the Emperor him- self and oupen criticism of his sacred person is “lese majeste” of the worst kind. Another source of dissatisfaction with these maneuvers, and which greatly impairs their military value, is the fact | that the Kaiser always insists on being on the winning side. The umpires’ de- cisions are governed by the necessity of paying tribute to his infallibility. On the first day of the maneuvers he assumed the command of the red, or invading army, and was credited with winning a brilliant victory over the luckless blue, or defending army. Next day he gave a demonstration of his Napoleonic genius by changing sides and leading the blues, with the result, according to the complaisant head- quarters staff, that the reds were soundly thrashed. In previous years this great war lord, who has never been under fire, has won similar triumphs over vet- erans who went through the Franco- Prussian war. Sub rosa, many of them declare that the Kaiser plays the war game like an amateur, that he really has very little knowledge of strategy and that in actual battle several of the armies with which he is credited on paper with winning brilliant vie- tories would have suffered crushing de- feats. They say that in maneuvering an army he makes no adequate alfow- ance for what the cther side might do if well led and that, as the umpires similarly ignore such considerations and always award him the fight, he has never discovered how much he has yet to learn to make a capable Nor will he, unless in an evil day for Germany he should undertake to lead a German army against an actual foe commanded by a man who understands his business. —_——————— The only lady admiral in the world is the Queen of the Hellenes.
