He never suspected that any one had de- signs upon the white hat of “White Hat McCarthy.” What wretch dared lay a hand upon it? He raised a tankard to his lips and when he lowered it the white hat of “White Hat McCarthy” was gone. Con- sternation tied his countenance into knots. “Waiter,” he shouted. ““Where is my hat?” “Did you have a hat?” inquired the garcon, whose name was O'Houlihan. “Did I have & hat?” gasped Mc€ar- thy. “Did I have a hat. I, McCarthy, White Hat McCarthy, I had the hat. Where were you raised that you ask, Did I have a hat?” Down the line the news flew that “the white hat of McCarthy is miss- ing!” If the ferry clock had taken a hike up Market street to call on the lady on the City Hall dome or the Twin Peaks had matched for a twenty- round go, some surprise might have been expressed.

The owner added his tears to the flulds already in the head- gear. Then his righteous wrath uprose and he demanded damages from the propri- etor. A conservative estimate of the value of the skypiece runs into six fig- ures. ‘White Hat McCarthy may wear an- other white hat some day, but it will not be the white hat. The white hat of McCarthy is only a memory and in time it will become a legend. —_——— AUBURN, Oct. 17.—Corcmer Shepard was ed. i cheers greeted the Re- for Congress, who :en a favorite with the vet- was some minutes be- t was restored sufficiently for speak.

Three rousing cheers were given for the Republican party and the speakers. —_— TALKS IN BELL'S TOWN. McKinlay Makes a Hit With Residents of St. Helena. ST. HELENA, Oct. 17.—The Re- publican rally here to-night in the old | home of his opponent, Congressman Theodore Bell, was a tremendous ova- tion to Duncan E. McKinlay. An im- mense audience completely filled the hall where the meeting was held and McKinlay was frequently compelled to pause in his speech by the frequent autbursts of applause. His address was on the high plane of patriotism and public duty. His reference to the national leader brought hearty cheers, the audience being the most respon- sive and enthusiastic he had met in his entire tour of the district.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—In the course of a leading editorial the Herald will to-morrow practically concede Roose- velt's election, as follows: “In three weeks from to-day the peo- ple will have to decide who will be their choice, Roosevelt Parker. There does not appear to be room for much | | uncertainty as to their probable de- | cision. It seems almost a foregone conclusion that Roosevelt will be elect- ed, not, perhaps, because the people have confidence in him and in his con- ception of the Presidential functions, but because the country is prosperous and thus the necessity for a change is not very pressing. Roosevelt’s chances are increased by the people’s misgiv- ings as to the reality of the ‘change of heart’ the Democratic leaders profess to have experienced. Bryan's grip upon his party has been ostensibly shaken off, but have all traces of his disorgan- izing reign been eradicated? “As election day draws nearer it be- comes manifest that the Democrats can oppose Republican discipline with nothing more efficacious than disunion and indecision.” The Herald up to this time has been supporting Parker and this sudden flop will greatly surprise Democrats when they read to-morrow’s paper. S LA FOLLETTE'S ULTIMATUM. National Republican Speakers Must Support Him in Wisconsin. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 17.—Na- tional Republican speakers must sup- port Governor La Follette in the speeches in Wisconsin or the La Fol- lette men will not support the na- tional ticket. That is practically the ultimatum laid down to the National Committee. It came from the Fair- banks meeting on Saturday evening. The La Follette men are angry be- cause Senator Fairbanks did not men- tion the Governor’s name in his speech, which was devoted entirely to national matters. A leading La Fol- lette man said to-day: “Roo:zevelt has not got this State vet. We arranged the Fairbanks meeting and made it a great success. It was nothing but a deliberate at- tempt to slight Governor La Follette which kept Fairbanks from mention- or ing him. It looks as though it was done on the advice of the National Committee.” Chairman Connor of the State Cen- tral Committee sent a vigorous pro- test to the National Committee to- day, in which it is said he demanded recognition by national ¢peakers of Governor La Follette and his candi- dacy if the national ticket was to re- celve La Follette support. PRINCETON YOUTHS PARADE. Republican Students Outnumber Democrats Two to One. NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Democratic and Republican students at Princeton, N. J., to-night marched through the streets, carrying transparencies, led by brass bands and making the campus and village echo with their ringing cheers for Roosevelt and Parker. The Democratic students had or- ganized their parade to arouse enthu- slasm for a speechmaking meeting. The Republican parade was purely in the nature of a counter demonstration. Outnumbering the Democratic march- dents forced their way ahead of the Parker shouters and for an hour the Princeton cheer ending with “Teddy” was flung back in overwhelming vol- ume at the heads of the Democratic ranks. ers by two to one, the Republican stu- | M & Shaw Talks in Saratoga.

Kelly is said to have enticed Rosy Weinstein, a ten-year-old child, 'to a room in a lodging-house on Howard street, near Sixth. Connolly followed the man and child and ef- fected an entrance to the room through a window. Kelly, after his arrest, attempted to escape from the policeman on Howard street by running, but stopped after wo shots had been fired over his head. The little girl resides with her parents at 455 Tehama street. . The police claim to have other evidence of sim- ilar offenses against Kelly. —— e REDDING, Oct. 17.—Lee Kennedy of Che- halls, Wash., lies at the County ot this place in a serious condition.

Congressman J. N. Gillett, who is making a splendid campaign for re- election as the representative of the First District, was at Republican head- quarters at the Palace Hotel early yes- terday morning. Indications point to his re-election by a large majority. He i is one of the ablest of California’s pub- lic men and the®people have the great- est confidence in his judgment and in- tegrity. Duncan E. McKinlay, Republican nominee in the Second Congressional District, and State Senator Charles M. Shortridge spoke at the Veterans' Home, Napa County, yesterday. The enthusiastic reception accorded to the gifted speakers took on the character of an ovation. E. A. Hayes, Republican candidate for Congress, Fifth District, and H D. Porter will talk to the men of the | Union Iron Works at noon to-day. | FOURTH DISTRICT. The prospects of Republican victory | in the Fourth District grow brighter | every hour. Julius Kahn is daily re- | ceiving assurances of support from | workingmen who voted for his oppo- | nent in 1802. The Republican Stati Com:aittee counts the Fourth' District as safe. In the Second and Fifth dis- tricts the Democrats are putting up a | determined fight, but confidence in the | success of the Republican cause in each district is increasing. Advices | from Sacramento are to the effect that the Republicans will win out in that county by a majority exceeding one thousand. Two years ago the Demo- crats carried Sacramento County on the Congressional issue. STATE SENATORS. The Republicans are encountering ac- tive resistance in three of the State| Senatorial districts, namely, the Third, | comprising the counties of Sierra, Plu- mas, Nevada and Placer; Twenty- ninth, the counties of Santa Cruz and San Mateo, and the Thirty-first, the counties of Monterey, San Benito and San Luis Obispo. H. W. Lynch, the Republican nominee in the last men- tioned district, is confronting a normal Democratic majority of 300, but he is progressive and personally popular. The Republicans are rallying nobly to his support and the great wave of pub- lic sentiment for Roosevelt will proba- bly land Mr. Lynch in the State Sen- ate. Now that the Democratsihave aban- doned hope of carrying California for Parker and Davis and see defeat for their entire Congressional ticket loom- ing up. they are falling back for en- couragement on the Senatorial fight in the Twenty-ninth Senatorial District. At Democratic headquarters the claim is made that Ed White, brother of the late Stephen M. White, will defeat S. H. Rambo, the Republican nominee. They say that while the Republican factions are slashing one another the Democrats are working vigorously for ‘White, with every chance of carrying him through to victory. The Democrats are finding further cause for regret in the fact that A. C. Lang, their nomineé for the Assembly in the Twenty-second District, Contra Costa County, failed to file his certifi- cate of nomination in time and now the only manner in which he can get on the ballot is by petition as an independent. The Democratic State Central Commit- tee has endeavored to straighten out the tangle, but without success, as the law is plain and inflexible. PROHIBITION PARTY. The Prohibition State Central Com- mittee announces in a circular that it proposes to carry on a hurricane cam- paign from now until election day. The circular thus refers to the campaign in this city: San Francisco Prohibitionists do not propose to let the campaign go by default, as far as they are concerned. At a recent meeting of the alliance plane were lafd for two big rallies in Academy of Sciences Hall. Next Friday af- ternoon, October 21. at 2 o'clock, a conference of local workers wiil be held, in ‘which leadin Prohibitionists of the city will e. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, the famous campa singers of Riverside, will be present at this meeting and also at the mass meeting to follow the same evening .n the e hall. John E. Main, the billboard man, State Chairman Tayn- ton and Dr. Pratt of San Jose will also be in attendance. Besides the music and addresses by the above several discussions will take part at the afternoon session. In the evening of the same day the programme will consist of addresses by H. R. Chapin, candidate for Con- gress in the Fourth District; Dr. W. W. Pratt, candidate for Congress in the Fifth District, and also a_twenty-minute address by some local worker. These addresses will be interspersed with singing by Mr. and Mrs. Simmons. The final rally of the campalgn will be held in the same hall on Friday evening, October 28, when Rev. A C. Bane of the Howard-street Methodist Church, Presidential elector on the Prohibition ticket, will deliver the address of | the evening. Epecial music will be engaged for this rally. As Dr. Bane is one of the popu- lar preachers of San Francisco, there wiil un- ! doubtedly be a large attendance. The Board of Election Commissioners yesterday excused S, G. Murphy, presi- dent of the First National Bank, from serving as special election officer, he having presented a certificate of ill health. P UNION LABOR MEETINGS. Rallies Are Held at Washington- | commerce laws, | on the free list, for checking the excesses of Square and Turn Verein Halls. The Union Labor campaign is liven- ing up. The party held two mass meet- ings "'st night, cne at Washington Square Hall, the other at Mission Turn Verein Hall. Congressman E. J. Liver- nash was the principal speaker at :an;‘l:;:ton lgum Eflk m.-n‘ T s T A e Egan, chairman of the campaign com- mittee, made addresses. George J. Berger, secretary of the Union Labor County Committee, pre- sided at the meeting, which was well attended. J. A. McManus, a member of the County Committee, introduced Mr. Berger as chairman. It was getting late when Congressman Livernash made his appearance, but the crowd had been apprised of his coming and waited to hear him. In part he said: To make the working classes of San Fran- clsco more prosperous and bappy than they are these things among others, should be done: More employment should be provided, by enlarging our manufactures and extending our commerce. At present there are hundreds of unemployed men in this city—many more than there were a year ago. These should have work and work should be found for thousands of others. This can be done by Ketting for our factorles cheaper iron and steel and cheaper coal and by encouraging the Erowth of our sea business. We can obtain cheaper iron and steel by improving the interstate commerce laws in such a way that the transcontinental railroads coming Into San Francisco will be obliged to transport freight on reasonable terms and without discrimination of the sorts now prac- ticed. We can obtain cheapér fuel by re- moving the tariff on bituminous coal and by putting the Standard Ofl trust under such Bovernmental control as will prevent the de- struction of competition In our own petro- leum districts. We can obtain enlargement of our merchant marine by making sea life fit for white men and by giving to American ves- sels some kind of Government aid—either by handicapping foreign ships competing for our carrying trade or by some direct tipping of the. scales in favor of our own flag. San Francisco ought to have dozens of factories and dosens of ships where now it has one. San Francisco would have them, too, were an -niightened and concerted move made In that regard by the working classes and the em- Dloying classes. In Congress 1 have been standing for amendment of the interstate for putting bituminous coal the Standard Oil trust, for improving the laws relating to seamen, fof prompt action to arrest the decadence of our merc t ma- rine and for a number of similar moves, I have been doing this for the sake of San Francisco and the country as a whole. There was a good attendance at the meeting in Mission Turn Verein Hall, but candidates shied at it and only a few put in an appearance. J. N. Copus called the assemblage to order and in- troduced James de Succa as chairman. Both made brief speeches. The address of the evening was by C. J. Williams, nominee for Congress in the Fifth District. Exclusion of Chinese and Japanese was his chief topic and, inasmuch as the issue will be raised next year, he argued, it was incumbent on the “‘common people” to see to it that they were represented in national legislation by men who are zealous “to fight the yellow peril.” Incidentally the speaker contended he was the'only Democrat in the race for Congress in the Fifth. He declared that William Wynn, his opponent on the Democratic ticket, had always been a Republican. A voice in the audience demanded further enlightenment on this point and this was furnished by Copus, who said he had received in- formation to the effect that Wynn once served as secretary of a Republican club in the Twenty-ninth District and had always been a Republican. _ Joseph Clifford, candidate for the As- sembly in the Thirty-fifth, and C. J. Roller, county committeeman, also spoke briefly. g, Fruitvale Republicans Organize.
