NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Nine national political conventions were held this year and nine candidates for President and Vice President of the United States were nominated, but only six electoral tickets will be generally voted for one week from to-morrow. Besides the two great political parties ven others made nominations—People's, . Prohibi- tion, Soclalist, Seclalist Labor, Conti- nental (labor), National Liberty (ne-! gro) and Lincoln (negro). The two ne- | gro parties, however, apparently endedx ! their work when the national conven- | tions adjourned, as no electors have been selected, or at least none will ap- pear on any official batlot, and the Con- tinental party seems to be confined to Illinols, and perhaps to Chicago, the| place of its origin. The terms of thirty United States Senators expire March 4 next. Seven of | the vacancies have already been filled, and the Legislatures of u\emy-thrceb States to be elected November 8 wil fill the othér ‘twenty-three. Members {.of the House of Representatives are to| | be:voted for in alb except three States— | Maine, Vermont - and Oregon, which | have' already -elected their Congress- | men. VARIOUS STATE FIGHTS In: twenty-zeven States a Governor and all, or nearly all, the elective State | omcera are to be chosen. In five States { minor State officers are to be selected.

JASED AT RECEPTION. Mr. Phelan also efpressed his pleas- ure at the genuineness and warmth of the reception that had been accorded him, which, he-said, was especially | pleasing to him in view of the fact that he has just returned to the city after a long absence. Governor Cham- berlain followed Mr. Phelan and for him the audience had reserved cheers and applause which were evidently ap- preciated by the distinguished execu- | tive. After expressing his pleasure | Governor Chamberlain said in part; The campaign now In progress is in many respects the most remarkable in the history of | Presidential contests in this country. It is | remarkable first, because of the astounding clatms made by our opponents and the reasons | urgea_ for their perpetuation in power, and, | second, because of the methods being resorted to to accomplish that end. And here: let ue | examine some of the reasons urged for the election of & Republican President and see whether or mot they are sound. First, it is insisted that the election of & Democratio President will endanger the gold standard, for the establishment of which our opponents clalm to be alone responsible. I say. and 1 appeal to the record of the past few years to sustain me, that our Republican friends have mot always been friendly to the single gold standard, but on the contrary have harged in the past that a Democratic Pres- faent was responsible for lts establishment. Not only that, but, the press which now claims so much credit for what the Republican party has done to irrevocably establish the single “gold standard only a short while ago was lauding to - the skies that “same Democratic President and those who followed him in vot- | ing either for Palmer and Buckner'or for the Republican candidates direct, for assist- ing in doing what confessedly they could not do_without such assistance. { Why, my fellow-citizens, the Republican i party appears now for the first time in ite { history as the champion of the single gold | standard. Its conversion has been gradual, for prior to 1896 it was the unvarying custom of Republican platforms to denounce Grover Cleve- land and other wicked Democrats for trying to demonetize silver and to fasten the single £014_standard upon the coln 1891 the speech at Tojedo, President Cleveland for meing hostile to bimetallism and charged that during all of his years at the head of the Govern- ment he was ‘‘dishonoring one of our precious metals, one of our own great products, dis- honoring_silver and enhancing the price of goid.” In he had said In Congress: am for the largest use of ellver in the cur- o Government is in the han 48 money an I want the double ll.lmllld " can speakers, Dingley, liver and omen miy thhqu'md The Repul platform Mr. McKin!

He invited all the people to pay a visit to his State during the fair next vear if thev can, “and,” he said, “when you come do as you like in my offices. Come there and if you are weary and vour feet rest urieasily un- der the table put them on it and enjoy yourselves to the fullest extent.” His last remark won for him the full regard of the audience and it cheered and applauded, and then, in response to Chairman Lane’s call, gave three more cheers for Governor ‘Chamber- lain and three cheers and a tlger for |- Parker and Davis. R DS CANDIDATES ARE CHEERED. Rousing Rally Is Held by Republicans at Twin Peaks Hall Out at Twin Peaks Hall a rousing Republican mass-meeting was held last evening. E. A. Hayes, Republican neminee for Congress from the Fifth District, and Fred V. Severance, can- Thirty-fourth District, were among the speakers. Outside the hall bonfires blazed and a band played na- tional afrs. Mr. Hayes’ speech was a l(ron‘ one, treating chiefly, of national issues, while Mr. Severance merely made a few remarks, introducing himself as a candidate and pledging the people his support if elected. In spite of outside -ttmcfions. the hall was filled. Every mention of the name of Roosevelt brought forth cheers, which shows the way the votes will go in that district. The opening of the meeting was wmmn delayed, as the speakers were detained downtown at other meetings, but in the interim - the band played and im- promptu addreses were made by earn- est workers in the ranks of the Repub- lican party. During this time a few o small boys in the rear of the hall be- came a little obstreperous and a sug- gestion was made that they be expelled from the hall. “No, don't put them out,” said one of the audience. “They are just a bit restless, but will all make good Re- publicans some day.” This sentiment was heartily ap- plauded, as much by the, youngsters as any one else. They stayed ll and were well behaved thereafter. The meeting was called to m by ‘I ty, or Populists, A. H. Merrill, who appointed H.

The : Republicans in “’unonsin “fll have & chojce’ bétween two tickets for State officers, -the. “stalwarts’ having declded tc keeD up their fight agalnst La Follette. The electors on both' tick- ets,”however, are identical. The Democrats and the People’s par- fused on the State tickets in Kansas and Nebraska, but in both States the People’'s party named separate Presidential electors. In Nevada the Democrats and one wing of the Silver party divided the minor Btate officers to be voted for, but the “Stalwart Stiver” men put up thelir own eleators. THE SMALLER PARTIES. The People’s party, which indorsed Bryan in 189 and 1900, has an active ' | organization in thirty-three of the for- ty-five States, the nominees for State officers and electors being on the official ! ballot in twelve States, and for electors {in twenty-one. Efforts to this end w.re made in a number of other States, b | the requisite number of signatures t | petitions were not obtained. | The Prohibitionists have electoral and I State tickets in twenty-seven States, and electoral tickets in twelve others— | eleven more than in 1900 Th Socialists.

New York Democrats Busily - Enrich- ing the Opposition. NEW: YORK, Oct. 31.—There was a } marked change in the election betting { odds ‘to-day. It favored the Demo- | eratlc :candidates' and Wall street be- gan to show signs of uneasiness. The decline in-stocks ‘was: attributed :in some quarters to this uneasiness. -fhe Democrats were aggressive and furge “sums. were *sent down::to “the financial district; " the . bulk- of the meney: being offered an Herrick at 10 i qually importam was the change in -sentiment on the 'natlonal result.’ On Saturday Roosevelt's chances were quoted at 5 to 1. To-day there was a scarcity of funds at 4 to 1. Brokers who had Parker. money were calling out bids.of $1000 to $3000, thus reduc- ing the odds, without takers. — Ritter chairman. Chairman Ritter then announced the following as vice | presidents and invited them to take their places on the platform: A. S. Benedict, F. V. Meyers, J. H. Thomas, E. D. Beri, James Tuite, Sendtor Frank French, J. H. Belser,.Fred Ritchie, B. F. Jones, E. Vincent Dolan, Charles * H. Jensen, Robert Strohle, J. S. Nyland, J. S. O’Brien, William Guilfoyle, E. Gunzel, H. A. Bilay, J. J. Hare, A. Duflee and P. J. Gray. Among the speakers were: A. H. ‘Merrill,~ ato Frank French, Wil- ham §. Guilfoyle and Colonel E. D. Beri. Hayes confined his argument chief-, ly to national issues, likening the feiler of to-day who votes for the sup- port of the Republican platform unto a man who takes a gold piece from one pocKet and places it in another rather than throwing it broadcast. The trade of the country. he said, should he kept in the country. We can produce all we need and there | is no occasion for opening the gates | to foreign competition. On this same line Hayes put himselt | strongly cn record as regards the Chi- nese and Japanese. tively -that aside from employing Asiatic labor he was unalterably op- posed to it and if elected to Congress weculd raise his voice for the exclusion not only of the Chinaman, but his neighbor, the Japanese. To secure proper legislation, he con- tended, it is necessary to have a solid delegation in Congress. The next Con- gress will, according to his calcula- tions, unquestionably be Republican, and a Democrat looking for a favor, such as the building of a warship on this coast, which would mean the ex- penditure of millions of dollars, would never be recognized. The meeting adjourned with rous- ing cheers for both national and State candidates. POTRERO VOTERS TURN OUT. E. A. Hayes and Richard J. Welch Are Greeted With Applause. An enthusiastic gathering of voters of the Thirty-second Assembly District assembled at the Republican meeting at Mannerbund Hall, Twenty-fourth | street and Potrero avenue last night. The epeakers were greeted with out- ‘bursts of applause, indicating the Re- publican party will receive handsome majorities from the voters in this part of the city. John E. Heilmann pre- sided. The following delivered address- es: E. A. Hayes, candidate for Con- gress of the Fifth District; Richard J. ‘Welch, for Senator from the Nineteenth Senatorial District; Daniel Burchard, candidate for Superior Judge; Major Kyle, Patrick J. Bogle and P. J. Ma- honey. E. A. Hayes told his listeners of the necessity of protection of American in- dustries. He promised his audience that he would use his utmost endeav- ors, if he was sent to Congress, to se- cure work for the Union Iron Works, which concern affords employment for a vast army of men in San Francisco. He compared the records of the two political parties when they held sway in Washington and asked them to Judge for themseives as to who had done the best work toward the devel- oping of American industries. Senator Richard Welch was cordially welcomed. The voters showed their ap- preciation of his efforts in securing the’ removal of the Pesthouse from Twen- ty-fifth and Army streets to the bay Mr. Welch $aid he was a friend of the Short, Walter Attridge, . He stated posi- | e the last speaker finished and showed ! intense interest in the issues of the campaign. | | ——— | REPUBLICANS SURE TO WIN. ' The Republican rally at Golden | Gate Hall was attended by a good- | sized audience' last night. Julius 1 Kahn. was the star speaker. He said |that the campaign so far as it had | gone marked victory for the Repub- lican party. The issues in-this cam- paign were not many. An era of | prosperity had marked the govern- {ment of the Republican party. Ore-, gon at the last election showed re- markable Republican strength, .and | this for- the very reason that Re- ipublican principles were the prin-!' |ciples that helped that State. He said in part: Democrats ddn't feel enough interest o v | They know the country is in good hands. Sen- { ator Dick has- stated that Ohio will roll up the biggest Republican majority ever known | in that State, A leading Democratic laboring | man said to me last week that the laboring men are getting better wages than they ever got ‘before, and that they are satisfled with the present administration. Roosevelt is an honest, loyal, stralghtforward American citi- zen. There. is no possible question about his election. The only question is how big hir majority will be. Kahn was loud in his praises of the | navy. He believed in building up a strong navy to protect American interests. He did not believe in war- fare and battle unless it was forced upon the nation. If it was forced he | believed the country should be in a| position to meet it. Disputes should, however, be settled by courts of ar- | bitration. So far as Parker was | concerned, no one would attempt to| question his honesty and his patriot- ism, but his ideas upon what should be the policy of this country were wrong. | Kahn was in sympathy with his au- | dience, and his remarks were fre- quently interrupted by applause. | ‘Walter S. Brann was chairman. Speeches were made by Philio J.| Haskins, Jesse Steinhart Jr., Marc | Anthony, A. L. Hart Jr. and R. B. Treat. ORI ¥ £ S0 FRAUD IS ALLEGED.

Dozier at a Meeting in Lakeport. Special Dispatch to The Call. LAKEPORT, Oct. 31.—The sensa- { was sprung in T. B. Dosier's speech | here to-night. The fact was disclosed that the speaker by appointment of | the Republican State Central Comnut- tee held a three hours’ interview with | Senator Perkins last Saturday after- noon at the latter's office at 22 Cal- “ifornia street, San Franciico, during which the Sen. r declared that The Call's interview which the Democratic press and Congressman Bell are en deavoring to discredit was authorita- tive and was absolutely correct in| every detail excepting one, which was that -the representative of The Call had. stated thaet the conference com- mittee had agreed to the Perkins Senate amendment; whereas in the. ia- terview with The’ Call's representative Senator: Perking had atated that the conference. . committes had - tacitly agreed to:the Senate amendment, but owing fo-a courtesy. that was due to Senator Tillman of South Carolina the conference: had: "pro forma’ ‘ dis- agreed. This question of courtesy ap- plied ta: Tiiman's’ amendment relat ing to the Charleston navy yard. Senator Perkins, in verifying . th accuracy. of: The. Call interview, fuy-| ther said that the naval appropriation bill originated with the committee of | the ‘House; ds usual; that it. provided for the constructlon of two steel col~ liers:with a clause in the bill relating to the construction of the same, which was.'secured upon the expressed re- quest and recommendation of the Sec- retary of the Navy; that when the bill reached the House Congressman Bell proposed an amendment that one of the colliers be constructed on the At- lantic Coast and one upon the Pa- cific Coast in Government navy yards, leaving with the Secretary of the to designate which particular yard should do the work; that Con- gressman Bell FAILED to have that amendment adopted and subsequently proposed another amendment provid- ing that one of the colliers be con- structed in the Government yards and | that his later amendment was also de- | feated. BILL IN THE SENATE. Subsequently the .bill passed House and came up to the-Senate. in Jjust exactly the form that it Had been introduced by the Naval Appropriation Committee. When it reached the Sen- ate it was referred t¢ the Naval Af- fairs Committee, of which Senator Per- kins is a leading member, and in that committee Senator . Perkins proposed an amendment that one of the colliers be constructed on the Atlantic. sea- board in the Government yards and the other at Mure Island. At this juncture the Senators from Oregon and Wash- ington came to Senator Perkins and told him they could not stand for the designation of the Mare Island navy- yard, as It would seem to slur the other yards of the Pacific Coast, and that if he would change the language so that the measure provided for the ¢)nstrue- tion of .a collier on the Pacific Coast they would assist him in the Senate. Senator Perkins acceded to the request and the Senate passed the bill as amended. Subsequently the House con- curred In the amendment. Senator Perkins further said that he was astonished and surprised to hear that Bell claimed credit for a measure with which he (3ell) had nothing to do and the credit for which belonged to others of the California delegation. The great surprise came when Dozier proved by the words of Senator Per- the | | that he (Belll secural as gpprogwistionm of 00 for workicn ihe Sacramento RIVer, o Which mm $9, | the Senate Committes i Conmeren, bad de- termingd not 40 JAke ARy gener tion for rivers and hm w-u- the de- | mands throughtut'the various portions of the { United States Wees #n iteat that the sowsmite tee foit that &t the 3 unable to meet thes, Thla matter casue 15 .10 | earn i, m..::nn-“ - Y. 2 e e atien to rivers end he various members of the commities. and ‘state: that: B PIUst have an appropRiaticn of at least $2000,000 I% rder to prestrve the work which Bad Already. been commenced -uader A tatlors ranted By praviass: Cory ',’2 Meckongie - I8 o the & n‘er‘l’nlln& S8%23 - Goneral relation to the WOtk ¢n the Eacramento Ri: and the taking eat of t:s soass (herefrom, foF Which - the Califorpis’ dciegation Bad secursd an appropristion tw ars . sreviousty ua Az ngTess. e Mackenaie snoke o M coThing 1be work And . sald he “thauRht. thers was & - belance of ibe fund usexpe Ba: would be sunl clent to contieate the wrilk, byt thet Is any svent. he . weuld dmediately wire to Toinme!
