Y., Oct. 24—Judge Par- ker to-day laid aside the issues usually discussed in national political contes and addressed a crowd of several hun- dred persons on the general topic of campaign practices and abuses. He re- buked the present administration for the part Government officials were al- leged to be taking in the campaign. He charged that the officers of the Government were now practically chosen by a handful of corporate man- agers, who contributed the assets of the corporations to keep the conduct of the Government in the hands they con- sider best for their private interests. Said he: Appreciating the responsibility put upon me by the Democratic party, and the duty which acceptance imposed upon me, I have care- fully considered the utterance I am about to am well persuaded that, had a situ- ng for its consideration been at the proval of the convention as it will now meet the approval of every thoughtful, right minded citizen of the United States, without regard to party creed or party prejudice. Many years have passed since my active ipation in politics. In the meantime a ng change has taken place in the method cting campaigns—a_change not for better, but for the worsh; a change that introduced debasing and corrupt methods which threaten the integrity of our untry, leaving it, perhaps, a republic in form, but not a republic in substance; nc longer a govern- ment of the people, by the people and for the peopl. t & government whose officers a practically chosen by a handful of corporate managers, who levy upon the ets of the stockholders whom they represent such sums of money as they deem requisite to place the conduct of the Government in such hands as they consider best for their private interests PATRIOTISM AND FAVORITISM.

A corporation will subscribe to & political party only because the corporation expects that party, through its control of public officers, executive cr legisiative, to do something for the benefit of the corporation or to restrain from doing something to its injury. No other molive can be imagined. In the mature of things no other motive can exist.

Let the defenders of the practice, if it has Why do corporations and trusts subscribe to_poiltical campaigns? What would a trust think of a party which, after accepting from the trust a campaign contribution of $500,000, should permit the party’s representatives in office to take action inimical to the trusts? Would the public interests be safe in the bands of a party the greater part of whose campalgn funds had been contributed by cor- porations and trusts? If the public welfare and the interests of subscribing corporations or trusts should con- flict. which would likely be protected? The scheme of our Government opposes fa- voritism, but in its administration there has been much of it. Indeed, it has been growing with such rapidity in recent years that those | few who have enjoyed favors contributed either directly by statute or indirectly by the nom- prosecution of violations of law represent, con- trol and representing many millions of dollars. These interests have decided 1o attempt to con- tinue the present administration in power. Their representatives scolded about the Presi- dent several monthe 5g0 and thus contributed their part to the effort which was assiduously made to mmvfi the country that the trusts were opposed the present administration. Whether there were real difficulties between these great popers and the administration— difficulties whi¢h have since been settled to the satisfaction of all parties concerned—or whether there were no difficuities to be com- romised and adjusted, their action being but 2 play_to decelve the voters, the fact remains that the trusts are not now opposed to the continuance of the present administration. On the contrary. it is common knowledge that they have decided to furnish such a sum of money to the Republican National Committee as It is hoped will secure the *floaters” in the doubtful States for the Republican ticket. Such an attempt constitutes both a menace and a challenge to every patriotic and law abiding person in this country, a- challenge which ought to be accepted. The question ought to be settied now whether the “‘floaters™ illegal combinations can together control an election in this campaign. Such a contest means, on one side, vast sums of money and every man with an itching paim. Tt ought to array every honest, independent and patriotic citizen on the other side. S STk SHOWS PARKER'S ERRORS. Treasury Official Corrects His State- ments on Nation's Finances. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24—H. A. Tay- lor, Acting Secretary of the Treasury, CORPORATIONS ————. Intimates That the American Voter Is'a Chattel in the Hands of Politicians. ® | Throughought dependent upon and mutually help- | i to-day issued a statement in part as follows: The attention of the department has been called to the statement twice made by Judge Parker that there have been administration orders forbidding the publication of inforgpa- tion concerning Government expenditures. This ie & mistake. Mr. Parker seems to have un- fortunately acquired from untrustworthy sources considerable misinformation, especially about the management of the Treasury De- partment and espectally about orders lssued to_govern departmental action generally. The only order issued concerning estimated expenditures was that no subordinate should make any. estimates public until the heads of the departments had gone over them with the President and they had been approved. Before Mr. Parker had made his second statement in reference to an order to withhold information | the Postoffice, Interfor and Agricultural de- partments and the District of Columbla had | wade and published their estimates. The esti- | mates from the other departments will be given out in the ordinary course of business| as soon as they are made and approved, just | as they have been in previous years. The practice of the departments in this respect has not been in any manner departed from this | year Mr. Parker has evidently been led Into an, error on that point. He seems to think that | the current monthly expense accounts have some relation to these estimates. These esti- mates have no relation whatever to present ex- ses. They simply represent the sums that | Congress will be asked to appropriate to meet the expenses of the various departments for | the fiscal year beginning July 18, 1905, ‘and June 3. 1906. If Judge Parker would apply to the Treas- ury Department for information as to the | methods of Government business and the con- n of the public finances he would get and accurate information and avoid the embarrassment of being led into very palpable errors. dit - FAIRBANKS AT COLUMBUS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-—0dds on President Roosevelt's election length- enedlto-day, several bets being report- ed at 5 to 1. These are the biggest odds offered so far in this campaign, | or in any national campaign within the | memory of a generation. One of "the |5 to 1 bets made to-day was that of |J. S. Bache & Co., with Bunell, Bu- chanan & Co. The latter bet $200 to | $1000. There were several small wag- lers at the same terms. On'the contest {in the State, Higgins became a 10 to 9 | favorit, C. W. Moore bet $1000 even money that Roosevelt would have 50,000 plurality in this State. PSR ENTHUSIASM MARKS TRIP. Duncan McKinlay Cheered by Voters of Ukiah and Vicinity. UKIAH, Oct. 24.—If enthusiasm and {a splendid organization are to be re- | lied upon the claim of the Republican | leaders here that this county will give a majority for Roosevelt and also for Duncan McKinlay is well founded. Mc- | Kinlay addr ed five meetings in this section to-day and received a cordial | reception at each one, not alone from | the business and professional men, but | from the working people as well. At an early hour this morning Mc- Kinlay was driven from Willits to the | Irvine & Muir Company's lumber mill, where he was introduced to every em- | ploye personally. Later he delivered | & short address to them, the plant be- |ing shut down for the purpose. Re- | turning to town he boarded a gayly decorated special train for a trip into the redwoods, making his first stop at | the mill of the Northwestern Lumber Company. All the employes of the mill, about 200 in number, were as- | sembled on the veranda of the board- |ing-house and gave three hearty | cheers for McKinlay as the train |stopped. He spoke to the men for (half an hour, his address eliciting | every mark of approval. After meet- {Ing the workmen the trip was r sumed, the train running several miles through the redwoods to the logging :amp, where more than 100 men ap- plauded the eloguent words of the Congressional nominee. After working hours the employes in the lumber yard at Willits and others, numbering sev- eral hundred, listened to an address by McKinlay at the Willits depot. Willits is more deeply interested in the tariff than any other town in the district, the town being dependent upon the lumber industry. McKinlay came to Ukiah on a spe- cial train, accompanied by the Wil- lits Band and more than 100 excur- sionists. The meeting was held at Marks' Hall, which contained an au- dience of more than 1000 persons. Mc- Kinlay spoke three-quarters of an hour on national Issues, paying high tribute to the merit and worth of President Roosevelt. whose re-election he urged as the first duty of the na- tion. The voters were warned against the Democratic efforts to get control of the House of Representatives. McKinlay made a splendid impres- sion. He was followed by T. B. Dozler, who for an hour addressed the DEODIGI in one of the most brilliant speeches | ever heard in Ukiah. He pointed out the interest of this section in the pol- icy of protection, and urged the vot- ers to stand by the party which not only gives protection to their prod- ucts, but seeks to extend similar bene- fits to every section of the country. He asked them to vote in a way that would give other industries the bene- fits of the tariff in the sarhe degree that is obtained here. Dozler paid a high tribute to the worth of the Con- gressional nominee. Delegates From Nome Named. TACOMA, Oct. ‘The Nome Repub- lican Club, with a membership of more than 300, has appointed D. 8.

Julius Kahn, nominee for Congress, Fourth District; Frank A. Markey, candidate for State Senator, Seven- teenth District, and William Mindham, nominee for the Assembly, Twenty- eighth District, will address the people. The Indications are that Markey will be elected to the Senate and Mindham to the Assembly. This will be a Re- publican gain of two in the Legisla- ture. KAHN AND HAYES. Julius Kahn is making an enterpris- ing and effective campaign. It is com- mon gossip in all the poiftical camps that he will win by a handsome ma- Jority. To-morrow evening at Phelps Hall, | 317 Devisadero street, E. A. Hayes, Re- | publican nominee for Congress, Fifth District; E. 1. Wolfe, candidate for the Senate, Twenty-first District, and F. C. Jones, nominee for the Assembly, will address the voters of the Thirty- seventh Assembly District. Two years ago the vote for Assemblymen in this district was as follows: A. G. Fisk (Rep.).. John E. Brannan (Dem.).... J. W. Mayder (Union Labor) 551 A plurality of 1000 for E. A. Hayes in the Thirty-seventh is expected. The nominee for Congress is developing speed and ability as a campaigner. FIRST DISTRICT. The campaign in the First Congres- sional District is progressing in a man- ner highly gratifying to the Republican | State Central Committee. The people everywhere manifest their high regard for the ability and integrity of J. N. Gillett. It is ascertained that A. Cami- netti, who reluctantly accepted the Democratic nomination, is badly dis- couraged. Speaking of Caminetti, the Humboldt Times asks: Was not Mr. Caminetti one of the very fel- lows that voted for a free trade measure that rendered the people of this great country bank- rupt for four years? Would not Mr. Cami- netti, if he had another opportunity, cast his vote against our intcrests again? The Democrats of the Second Dis- trict display signals of distress. The Oakland Tribune remarks: Congressman Bell s now in a position to sympatbize with the parrot that talked too much. His free use of his tongue has got him into trouble. His attempt to appropriate to himself the credit of having gne of the new Government colliers bullt at Mare Island has brought out a statement of the facts from Scnator Perkins that makes Mr. Bell look rather small. The amendment to the bill was inserted In the Senate at the instance of Sena- tor Perkins. Mr. Bell made a speech In jts favor in the House, but he would have had nothing to talk about if Senator Perkins had not secured the Insertion of the amendment. FINDING THE GOODS. The Republican State Central Com- mittee was not sure that Bell himself was claiming all the credit for the col- lier until the stenographic report of the Woodland speech was secured, but the committee knew full well that the Democratic press was clothing him with credit for an achievement that he did not accomplish. Late on Satur- day afternoon, October 15, the com- mittee engaged a stenographer to at- tend the Democratic meeting at Wood- land on the night of that day and take a verbatim report of Bell's speech. Something definite was then obtained to submit to Senator Perkins and others of the Republican Congressional dele- gation. The Democratic claim has now dwindled down to a subdued contention | that Bell ‘“‘conceived the idea” of in- troducing an amendment. Duncan E. McKinlay, Republican nominee in the Second District, is dis- playing qualities of leadership that challenge the admiration of the people and enlist the special enthusiasm and support of young men. He never ut- ters a word derogatory of his oppon- ent’s private life or personal character. He quotes the record of the two great political parties and appeals to the in- telligence of the people for support. e VOTERS MEET HAYES. Growers and Business Men Assure Candidate of Their Support. SAN JOSE, Oct. 24.—The enthusi- asm that has been attending the meetings of E. A. Hayes, Republican nominee for Congress in the Fifth Dis- trict, throughout Santa Clara County was repeated this evening at Mountain View. Bonfires illuminated the town. The audience was a large one and was made up of business men of Mountain View and orchardists from the surrounding country. Vocal music was rendered by the Stanford quartet. W. T. Wright presided as chairman. Hayes' address reviewed the history of the Republican party and the far- iff laws. He urged the voters to work for the election of the entire Repub- lican ticket, so that President Roouse- velt would have Republican Congress- men to support him in his policy. Hayes assured the fruit growers that if he were sent to Congress their in- terests would not suffer by a tinker- ing with the tariff law on fruit. After the meeting most of those present as- sured Hayes of their loyal support. ;| Addresses were also delivered by Major Kyle of San Francisco, Fayette Mitcheltree, candidate for the Assem- bly: F. Mitchell, candidate for Super- visor, and A. M. Free. At noon to-day Hayes addressed the several hundred employes of the Pa- cific Manufacturing Mill at Santa Clara and was cordially recelved. He said he was a laboring man himself; that he had started in life as a farm boy, and if in working his way he had laid aside a few dollars he hoped the fact would not be laid to his discredit. Without the Republican system of protection, he said, the country would not now be enjoying such an unex- ampled degree of prosperity. —————— BUSY DAY FOR NEEDHAM.

MONTEREY, Oct. 24.—The Republi- can demonstration of to-night was de- clared to be the greatest held here in years, Bagby's Obpera-house was crowded to the doors and every mention of Roosevelt and Fairbanks brought out thunders of applause, Congress- man J.

Lynch, candidate for State Senator; J. B. R. Cooper, candl- date for the Assembly, and local nomi- ! ness. Needham also addressed an open alir meeting at Pacific Grove this after- noon. The weather was cold and raw, but more than three hundred stood about the speakers’ stand for an hour and a half listening to him and other nominees. NS BN DEFENDS TARIFF POLICY.

READY T0 RUSH T0 TIMBER LAND Spectal Dis, teh to The Call GRANTS PASS, Ore., Oct. 24.—Prep- arations are being made by prospective settlers, buyers and squatters for a | great rush into the Southern Oregon forest reserve lands, which are to be thrown open for entry and settlement in the near future. These lands cover a vast area in Josephine, Jackson and Curry counties and a part of Northern California counties, notably Siskiyou and Del Norte. While much of it is mountainous and some of it iIs cov- ered with sparse timber, the greater portion is densely covered with fir and pine, with considérable sugar pine, which ranks with the famous redwood in point of general value. Already men are coming in here and are preparing to take to the woods on the first jdefinite information that the lands are released. Cruisers have jplaced a number of squatters on the more valuable lands, and other sections will be taken up rapidly, as the num- ber of mills and the great demand for | lumber makes timber lands of great | value, even in the more remote parts. Some of the land is vet unsurveyed. Just what day the lands will be thrown open is not yet known, but no- tice has - already been given from Washington that the reserves are soon to be opened for settler and buyers.

BUTTE, Mont., Oct. 24. — Henry J. Gallahan, Federal Court Balift, Civil ‘War veteran, a pioneer placer miner of Montana and a respected citizen of the State, les dead at Richards’ under- taking rooms as the result of at least the second attempt on his life in the last month. Miles Fuller, another placer miner, whose reputation has been bad, is a prisoner charged with the murder. Gallahan was shot to death this afternoon in a revolver duel, and his body shows the deadly effect of the bul- {lets that were fired at him at short range. An ugly gash in the right side of the throat was made by ome ball as it tore its way through his neck, severing his jugular vein. Another bul let entered the left eye and was evi- dently lodged in the brain, no sign of exit being found. Either of the wounds would have been fatal. Near Gallahan lay his empty revolver. Fuller is said to have threatened to kill Gallahan, declaring Gallahan would be in his coffin before next Christmas eve and that leads the offi- cers to believe he is the man they want, Gallahan some time ago suspected that same one was robbing the sluices of his placer workings and watched for the robber. Early one morning he caught Fuller in the act of robbing the boxes and severely beat him. Gallahan at another time found his house had been broken into. He could not dis- cover that anything was missing and prepared as usual his supper. On sip- ping his coffee Gallahan noticed a peculiar taste and, becoming 'suspicious, began an investigation, resulting in the discovery of large quantities of strych- nine in the sugar and coffee. — VOLUNTEER FIREMEN DISBAND.—San Leandro, Oct. 24.—The San Leandro volunteer fire department will be disbanded to-morrow.
