In respect to personal pul- chritude he outshines Livernash, Mc- Pike, Wynn, Caminetti, Judge Conley, Ona Morton and Dr. Lucas of Santa Maria.

McKinlay’'s position in this respect commands the admiration of the veterans. He maintains that the old soldiers should have all the rights and privileges that are accorded to other citizens, and that they should not be hampered by sumptuary legis- lation. As to pensions, he believes in payment direct to the veterans and the right of the veteran to do what he pleases with the money, regardless of trustees, commandants, governing boards and Public Administrators. FRANK P. FLINT. Frank P. Flint, one of the leading candidates for the United States Sen- ate, and Oscar Lawlor of Los Angeles were in San Francisco vesterday. Mr. Flint has’ traveled considerably over the northern region of California dur- ing the past two weeks and is quite well satisfled with the condition of his Senatorial campaign. He predicts the election df Gillett in the First and McKinlay in the Second Congressional district. ~ On account of a snowstorm in the mountains Mr. Flint was not able to keep his engagement to speak at Downieville, Sierra County. Colonel E. A. Forbes of Yuba is in the city. He is confident that the Re- publicans will win out in his section | of the State. DEMOCRATIC DESPAIR. Timothy Spellacy of Kern, chairman of the Democratic State Central Com- mittee, is back in the city and again in command at headquarters in the Bishop building. Mr. Spellacy is an- noyed at the reports that have been made to the effect that he has criti- cized alleged lack of activity on the part of ex-Congressman Thomas Geary. If the Democrats that were responsible for the report did one-halt the work either he or Mr. Geary, who has been most active in the campaign, have done, Mr. Spellacy savs, the chances for Democratic success in Cal- ifornia in November would materially brighten. It is the desire to criticize and the lack of desire to work on the part of a certain element of the Democracy that is hurting things, Mr. Spellacy concluded. Jarrett T. Richards, president of the Santa Barbara Chamber of Com- merce, gave a Juncheon in compli- ment to United States Senator Thom- as R. Bard at the Pacific Union Club last Monday. Senator George C. Per- kins, ex-Senator Charles N. Felton, F. S. Stratton, Collector of the Port; Jus- | tice T. B. McFarland, Dr. Chester Rowell and Thomas B. Bishon were present. - e f PEAKS ON CHINESE EXCLUSION Congressman E. J. Livernash ad- dressed several audiences on Sixth street last night. He touched on va- rious subjects, but occupied the most time in a discussion of the Chinese exclusion question, regarding which he said in part: ‘The Chinese exclusion question has not been gettled. although many Americans believe it been.

At lowa Falls Senator Fairbanks dwelt upon the prosperity of the farm- | ers. He said: An eminent Democratic authority some time ago, in the hope of winning the support of the agricultural vote, aSserted that the Repub- ! lican party had done little for the farmers of the country. He contrasted the expenditure of five or six millions of dollars for the support of the Agricultural Department with expendi- tures for the support of other branches of the Federal service. His statement was not en- tirely accurate, though he did not mean that it should fall short of the absolute truth. The Republican party has not only appropriated over five millions for the support of that de- partment, at the head of which is the great | Secretary of Agriculture, James Wilson of Iowa, but it appropriated more than twenty million® of dollars at the last session for the support of the rural free delivery service throughout the United States. That service is one of the fruits of Republican administration. More important than these are the benefits | coming to the farmers through the beneficent | cperations of the policies of the Republican party. The fact is that our farmers have been benefited policles by the operation of these durina the last seven and a half years more than they ever have been benefited in all jof the history of the republic. mer Speaker Henderson occupied seats on the platform while Senator Fair- banks spoké and both made speeches there after the Vice Presidential can- didate took his departure. He was ac- companied during the day by Governor Cummins and other prominent Iowa Republicans. Ry =28 DAVIS'® WHIRLWIND TOUR. CUMBERLAND, Md., Oct. 11.—Hen- ry G. Davis, Democratic Vice Presi- dential candidate, has made a flylng start on his whirlwind campaign | through Maryland and West Virginia. Leaving Baltimore this morning on a | special train he has made an even dozen speeches, arranged the details of every meeting, introduced his corps of campaigners to the audiences in all the West Virginia towns visited, has struck out vigorously on Siate issues, done the greater part of the talking, and to-night is the fartnest from fa- tigue of any member of the party With Davis are Senator Daniel of Virginia, David B. Hill of New York and ex-Governor Whyte of Maryland. besides a retinue- of local candidates, representatives of the National and State committees, who join and leave the train as it moves through their territory. Rallies were held in Piedmont and Keyser, W. Va., each of an hour’s dur- ation, and several others of half that time. Many talks were made from the rear end of the private car occupied by Davis and his campaigners. The itinerary for the day included Rockville and Brunswick, Md., at which places there was an escort from the District of Columbia furnished by five Democratic clubs of that place. Harper’s Ferry, Shenandoah Junction, Martinsburg, Cherry Run, Hancock, Pawpaw, Greenspring, Cumberland, Keyser and Piedmont were all points of attack by Democratic oratory. i FORAKER SCORES PARKER. BOSTON, Oct. 11.—United - States Senators Foraker of Ohio and Lodge of Massachusetts and Governor John L. Bates spoke’ to-night at the dinner of the Republican Club of Massachusetts, held in ‘Symphony Hall . Referring to the two Presidential candidates, Senator Foraker sald be- fore the people made a man President they wanted to know his views on pub- lic questions. He thought Judge Par- ker's declaration in regard to the gold standard a great compliment to the Republican party, but that in all other respects he was in line with his own party. In contrast, he said, President Roosevelt had written and spoken upon every public question which the peo- ple have been interestéd since the land- dng of the Mayflower. Senator Foraker devoted much of his speech to a discussion of the Phil- ippine question, claiming that the ag- quisition of the islands was mnot a transaction standing by itself, but that it was part and parcel of the wise, pa- triotic American policy conceived and entered upon by the administration of | McKinley and carried on by President Roosevelt. Senator Lodge discussed national is- sues and Governor Bates confined his address to State issues. i S Gillett Well Received IONE, Oct. 11.—To-night ended the canvass of Amador County by J. N.

IRBANKS' TOUR Voters of South Dakota Solid - For Roosevelt and Fairbanks Only Question Is as to Size of|, the Majority the State Will Give the Ticket. BY S. W. WALL. BISMARCK, S.'D., Oct. 11.—Of course Senator Fairbanks knew why he chose the Sabbath day upon which, | in his westward course, to cross the | State of North Dakota, to enter from the east the land of promise—special | | agricultural promise—of thrift and of | temperance; to tarry only here and there for ‘an hour or so and pass on | to the next; to stop off midway and | attend church, and then to go on into | the strenuous and politically turbulent State of Montana before the yeek days had come that make it meet and ne- cessary to make campaign speeches. Fairbanks is making a great record 4s a campuigner, but he is not making the record for the record’s sake. Where a speech may be cut out of the itinerary without loss to his cause, he is quite willing. And so he saved his voice in North Dakota. North Da- kota is one of those States where you listen in vain foi the cheery assurance of the Democratic chairman that things look good to him and that “nev- er before in the history of the party was victory so certain.” With' the Democrats here, it is a mere matter of going through the forms, so far at least as the national ticket is con- cerned. The only excitement that can be evolved out of a campaign in North Dakota is secured by splits and con- tests within the party. It is never a question of the election of a Republi- can to office, but a contest as to which Republican. And so, being put to it in this regard, they generally manage to eke out enough sport from : campaign to campaign to make it worth while. There are so many good Eepublicans who are also good men in North Dakota that no one man or set | of men may say, having been lifted to an eminence, “This is my place; I will | pre-empt this peak for my own; Re-' publican majorities are so certain here | that I have only now to signify that 1 am in the game.” . A CASE IN POIL There was the case of Representative Spalding. He was a clever man, a good lawyer and made a capable and ef- fective, Representative. He was strong | in his home town of Fargo, and that | heiwould be unseated by the State con- | vention of his party was the thing| furthest from his thoughts. He had | sat among the mighty at Washington, had acquitted himself well, had secured all that was coming to his State out of the general struggle for appropria- tions and had rendered as effective ser- vice as could be expected of one man. With this prestige added to the quality that got him there in the first place, why should be not go back? He hadn't even asked himself this question, the case seemed so clear. But there was a factional fight on in his section of the State. Both fac- | tions, of course, looked to him to join it in the overthrow of the other. Spald- ing’s own particular friends.saw. that| the scrap was no place for him and | when he had gotten so far as St. Paul on his way west from Washington he received a wire signed by several of these, telling him to go fishing in some remote Minnesota stream and not be heard from until after the election. But | Spalding could not see the necessity. Had he not won his place by fighting and if there was anything doing in politics in his State his place was in the thick of it. He went to Fargo and made enemies. He soon saw that the | other fellow's fight had become his own, but he boasted that on the floor of the | then impending convention he wouldt vin. He secured but 101 votes in a total T 525. THE NEW REPRESENTATIVE. The Representative in Congress who will hold Spalding's seat is J. A, Gronna, a merchant of Lakota, Nelson County, on the north line of the State. The cry that the north wanted and should have representation was offered as an excuse for the defeat of Spalding, but it is well understood that his own indiscretion in taking sides in a family fight not directed against him is the real cause. Gronna is a Norwegian and a close friend of Senator Hansbrough. The State Attorney General, Frick, comes from the same town of La- kota and, seeing that the question of geography was cutting such a figure, Gronna declared; when the nomination for Congress was offered him, that if it was going to affect Frick's chances for a renomination he would not ac- cept. He was assured that it would not and it didn't, During the first day of the sitting of the convention Judge John M. Cochrane of the Supreme Court died. The convention adjourned for that day out of respect. When it adjourned finally Edward Engurud, a young lawyer, who attended it as a delegate and with no thought of receiving any honor at its hands, had been nominat- €d for the place and, of course, will be elected. This is just to show how the whirligig plays in politics. A REPUBLICAN PRESS. Getting back to the original ques- tion, you will notice that in giving fig- ures of majorities in States the expert seldom makes prophecies as to North Dakota. It'is because of the disposi- tion to make it unanimous there. Of 117 daily and weekly papers issued in the State of North Dakota, there are but one daily and eight weeklies de- voted to Democracy. There are near- ly always two papers in any town where there is population enough to support one. That is to say where there are enough people to barely war- rant some one in starting a paper, and he does start it, a competitor quickly follows and the spectacle is furnished of two papers, often they are daily papers, thriving or showing every sign of thriving, in co unities so sparse as to cause wonder that one could exist. This is simply in evidence of w\fl conditions. The solitary 'mocractic daily is published at Grand Forks, one of the most popu- lous cities of the State, and its history has been one long story of failure. gmprletor and they say they have high | In looking over the State I was in- tel in what I saw of the work- ings of prohibition. We have our never and I was 1t ; of a return to the old system in any part of the State, and I asked a great many. On the western border, at Fargo and Grand Forks, they simply point across the river. At Grand Forks and Fargo you pretty little cities as you want to see, beautiful homes, neatly kept lawns and gardens, clean streets, handsome public buildings, an air of self-respect | and conscious pride. Just over the little bridge that spans the Red River | at Grand Forks is East Grand Forks, and from Fargo there is the town of Moorhead. They are in the State of Minnesota, and both of them are com- posed chiefly of saloons. In the case of Moorhead there are a number saloons equir-ed with plate-glass mirrors and electric lights to attract and dazzle “the best class of trade,” but there are saloons of every char- acter and in every part of the town. Fargo and Moorhead made a fight many vears ago for supremacy, and at the time of the prohibition agita- | tion it was prophesied that in case of its success the center of popula- tion as between the two towns would cross the river into Minnesota. The saloons did cross the river, and spent large sums in their embellishment. There were, as had been predicted that there would be, a great many va- cant storerooms in Fargo where the saloons had been, and rents came down as a consequence. But there are no vacant stores now in Fargo or Grand Forks. ~ OBLIGING JAG WAGONS. To be sure, the saloons get most of their trade from the larger towns. The streets of Fargo are patrolled day and night by attractive conveyances bearing the names in modest letters of the well known places across the | river and any who wish to go to these places have but to step in or hail the driver to be whirled over the bridge without charge. The rigs are also on call to convey the eustomers home, drunk or sober. These rigs, which are of many descriptions, are referred to in local speech as jag wagons. And to be sure it will be saild that so far as these towns on the State’s margin are concerned the prohibition | law simply drew a definite line about their tenderloin, which would be a good thing for any town. And of course this is true, but exactly the same sentiment is expressed in other towns of the State with regard to the prohibition law, that it would not be exchanged for the old widg open con- dition. Of course there is always the reference to the “'blind pig,"” said to be everywhere, and of course there is something to it, but the pig is incon- spicuous and its effects not apparent. If you wish to pursue this subject fur- ther, as the textbooks say, you are re- spectfully referred. I have noted what came under my eye. —— BRYAN HAS BUSY DAY.

Keith Parlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West, observed the flag day of the order in its hall on Fillmore street Monday night. There was a good attendance of members and visitors After the initiation of one candidate a recess was declared, during which a patriotic programme was rendered. ‘The members sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Miss Langdon recited “Old Glory,” Mesdames Darees and Smith sang a ballad, Lotta Bean recited “Drake’s Address to ‘the American Flag.” Mrs. Kothe gave a very inter- esting account of the raising of the American flag. Fannle Smith sang a ballad. Eliza'D. Keith, P. G. P., told of the patriotic spirit that moved the | Native Daughters to reverence the flag with the idea of arousing a love of patriotism in the membership and in the rising generation. Ernest C. Stock by invitation spoke of the duty of native born and adopted citizens to stand by the flag of the Union. The parlor than sang “Native Land” and the exercises closed with the pledge to the flag by all the mem- bers and the delivery of the flag charge by President Abrahams. During the evening the parlor, which on July 25 started the movement to have the California niche in the Statu- ary Hall In Washington fllled, adopted a resolution that a statue of Father Junipero Serra should be one of the two placed in the niche. % S S LABOR DELEGATES WILL BE WELL ENTERTAINED Local Committee Is Making Extensive oJPreparatiops for Welcoming East- ern Representatives.
