On behalf - of Republican principiés an¢ fepublican candidates ex-Governor | Henry T. Gage addressed a great audi- | ence at the Alhambra Theater last evening. - Supporting and augmenting his argument was Frank H. Short of | Fresno, who delivered a rihging speech in the interest of the dominant party and the men it has named for office. Treasurer John E. McDougald pre- sided, being i oduced to the audience by Senator E. R. Woodruff, secretary of the Republican State Central Com- mittee. The appearance of Governor Gage at the speaker's chair was the| signal for an enthusiastic demonstra- | tion, for which he expressed his appre- | clation. Mr. Short was also warmly re- celved, and Julius Kahn and E. A. Hayes, who were seated on the plat. were cheered thriée and three times more. Altogether the crowd was an unusual one for this campaign. It demonstrated the fact that if sufficient Democratic opposition could be found it was willing to enter the fray as of old, and win out, 100. It was not only enthusiastic, but argumentative, In support of the speakers’ theories.- The hum of discussion in the audience was | often heard, and one man, grown too| excited, was led to the street, where he continued his harangue, with himself | the only interested auditor. i In introducing Mr. Gage to the audi- | ence Chairman McDougald referred to him as the man that settled the great water front strike and caused the re- turn to work of thousands of laborers. This announcement was greeted with | cheers. After acknowledging his ap- | preciation for the reception accorded | him Mr. Gage said in part: | Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1| hope you will esieem it as great a pleasure to | listen to me as it is for me to be able to speak | 1o you We are meeting bere to-night to & of an eleotion that is world- | Every power of the vote upon A GREAT WORLD POWER. The United States is a great world power. Our country is to-4ay pre-eminent among the foremost rations of the globe. And I believe that so }"" as we adhere to the constitution | she will continue to stand pre-eminent | For many years past the Republican party has | been in control and has dealt with and settled great interral problems with the West. and the result wijl - country a commercial vlace Dow give us {he most Urominent position Adherence 1o the Monroe docrine has enabled us to secure the cpen door in China, has taught Morocco.

And these principles are blended with the adminstration of Theodors Roosevelt, and our President has been and will true to those principles, which will be ac- ed by the people on election day. The pol- At no time in history has States been so respected as during en years of McKinley and Roosevelt. JULIUS KAHN- IS NEEDED. The President needs the election of Julius Kuhn in the Fourth Congressional District; he needs the election of Duncan McKinlay up nerth: he needs the election of Gillett, Hayes, Needham and Smith, and he'll get the election of Jim McLachian of Los Angeles. Do not vote with wild hurrah for Roosevelt and then tie Demoeratic legislators. Bryan has been eloquent on the evils of the trusts. 1 looked over the records of Bryan during his two terms in , and can find no trace of uny time where the former leader of Democracy by word or deed attempted to introduce laws to circumscribe the trusts. On 2!] the trust measures looking to the curbing of the evil the Democrats have voted indus- triously with the powers of corruption. The St. Louls convention is the only place where the Democrats mentioned trusts. They did not dare to say a word om the money question, although for eight years they de--| clared the money question the paramount issue. The party had to do something so they dipped their pen In molasses instead of ink and wrote the plank in the platform for cam- paign purposes. It was not written in good faith. Their conduct was reprehensible and any party resorting to such tricks should be defeated. Parker says “protection fosters trusts”’ and yet we can point to free trade England with trusts upon trusts. In our own country many of_the trusts that are fatfening are not pro- tected. Who ever heard Davis or Parker saying any- thing against trusts until after they were nominated? The records will show what an ardent trust man Judge Parker was. By rendering two decisions of directly opposite construction he left a loophole for capital to throttle labor in the American National Drug Association case. ATTACKS STANDARD OIL. One of the worst corporations ever existing, whose trail is marked With crime and lust for g0ld, e the Standard Oll Company. It has been under protection, but it carries a free trade commodity. : It is a matter of record that thé only time Federal troops were sent into a State to quell @isorder was under Democratic administration and in Coiorado, where the treatment of the Iaboring man was infamous, I consider it utterly indefensible and anarchistic to blow up people property. Any man who re- sorts to such anarchy deserves the condem- pation of every honest man within the con- fines of this country. And as for_the greatness and we should sperity of the moment may country will be entangled. SHORT IS INTRODUCED. A quartet followed Mr. Gage to the platform and, its song concluded, Frank H. Short was introduced. In g i 3 EE‘ iz H | oF ol £ i ? : i § [ i g ol : i ? . I 4] 'k \ NS capable or too large to represent it at home or abroad. I therefore ask you to well con- slder to-night which one of the two great | parties stands for those qualities favorable to this city's interests, calculated to develop fts resources_and calculated to benefit its inhab- itants. Which policies will develop its re- sources, which will foster its interests, which will extend its resources.

Wil this city be better represented by men belonging to the party In power and in_sympathy with the President or by men whose antagonistic to these policies, and who, both Bs a matter of politics and as a matter of policies, are antagonistic to the President? The Democratic party does not stand these things, It promises to cut down general expenditures of the Government half—that means less improvement for rivers and harbors—less public buildings to be erected—less ships for the navy to be constructed—Iless material s to used—less labor is to be emploved and wages ure to be pald.

This is an fmportant and serfous maiter. 1 do mot want you to vote your prefudices or your personal likes or dislikes if you have any. Make up your minds what is best for San Francisco and vou will already have decided at is best for you. Be Americans and be Californians, and vote as such and you will not vote wrong. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. Surely the Republican nominees are the | equals personally and in every other way of | the candidates opposed to them. In addition | to thls, they stand for the right policies—the | right principles, and for the right man for President, Therefore if you vote for Kahn and Hayes you vote for the Republican party, you vote for California, you vote for San n- clseo, amd you vote right. 1 %elleve in poiltical leadership, Our suc- cessful administrations are not those of our timid, safe and so-called- sane and cautious Presidents. Mr. Buchanan was safe, sane and cautious, &o-much €0 that he could ot possi- bly decide upon any definite course of action, and. at the end of his very conservative ad- ministration the couniry was exceedingly un. safe and the people nearly insane, Probably the ldea of leadership is as well expressed In Lord Macaulay’s descrintion of the battle of Ivry as anywhere in the Engilsh language. King Henry In addressing his soldiers said: “Oh_ follow where my white plume waves, amidst the ranks of war, and be your orl. flamme to-day the helmet of Navarre.” two campalgng our Democratic friends fol- lowed Wiliam Tennings Bryan where'er his silver plume might wave, amidst the ranks war; but, now sad as angels for the good men's ein, Wweep o record and blush to give views are for the one our are are be less the it in they follow his tary enemy, David Bennett Hill, - where'er his bald head hines amidst the stacks of yellow coin; thelr T2t Teally, not fo ‘e’ wondern : ¥ no Wol is called a *‘quiet ump-llxn..;".am-«; ‘tg.-!t ?hl: u;;nl Democratic enthusiasm is not obsery- able. At the conclusion of Mr. Short's speech candidates for Congress Julius Kahn and E. A. Hayes were introduced and then, with three cheers for Roose- velt and Fairbanks and the whole Re- publican ticket, the meeting adjourned. —_—— Venetian Glass Collection.

Big Mass-Meetings Are Arranged for Three of the City's Districts VETERAN OF MANY 'CAMPAIGNS COMING -— To-night at Masonic Hall, corner of Fourteenth and Rallroad avenues, the Republicans of the Thirty-second As- sembly District will be addressed by General, H. A. Plerce of Los Angeles, who made a speech for Abraham Lin- coln in Yolo County in 1860." Among other speakers will be Major C. W. Kyle, E. A. Hayes, Senator R. J. Welch and P. J. Boyle. Vocal selections will be rendered by the Stanford quartet. Republicans of the Thirty-third As- sembly District will assemble at Mur- phy's Hall, Ocean View, to-night. B. A. Hayes, F. J. Meincke, A. W. Leicht! and Frank J. Murphy will speak. There will be a rally of Republicans of the Fortieth Assembly District to- night at Franklin Hall, Fillmore street, near Bush. Julius Kahn, Gus Hart- man, Benjamin L. McKinley and Frank P. Flint will address the voters. Sen- ator Hamilton A. Bauer will preside. Music will be furnished by the Orpheus orchestra. Charles Oliver and Walter Bailey will render some pleasing vocal selections. Julius Kahn is meking a highly cred- itable campaign. He does not descend to personalities and never fails to en- ter ‘@ protest when any one in the audience attempts to revile his op- ponent. Mr. Kahn is gaining support- ers by reason of his manly style of conducting his canvass for re-election to Congress. Hon. J. N. Gillett, the popular and able nominee for Congress in the First District, was at Republican State com- mittee headquarters, Palace Hotel, yesterday. Mr. Gillett will close his brilliant and effective campaign in Humboldt County. United States Senator George C. Per- kins will speak at Vallejo to-night. Next Monday night he will speak at Chico. Questions asked at either meet- ing will be answered. Governor Pardee, John F. Davis and Frank H. Short will speak at Sacra- mento to-morrow night. The State Central Committee is convinced that Duncan E. McKinlay will be elected to Congress in the Second District. e LABOR CANDIDATES TALK. Congressman Livernash Has Praise for Judge Murasky. Candidates of the Union Labor party held forth at Washington-square Hall last night. A band was in attendance and struck up “We Won't Go Home Till Morning” as each candidate ap- peared. The gathering was presided over by Thomas Eagan, chairman of the Union Labor County Committee. Daniel W. Burchard, candidate for Superior Judge, was the first speaker. In a flery manner he scored those whom he declared maligned Mayor Eugene Schmitz. “In spite of the lies that have been told about him, he is the soul of honor,” said Burchard. “There have been more lies told about him and Abe Ruef {" “n would patch hades a mile.” ‘While Burchard was talking E. J. Livernash entered and .he crowd be- gan to call for him. Livernash said in part: I have many other engagements, but I want to drive a nall into several lies before I leave this hall. Every day new lies are' leveled at me, not because 1 am Livernash, but because I represent you. I am not atraid to come here and tell you go. I am not afrald to go any place, not even to Dupont and Fil- bert streets. The Mayor and I disagree on several points, but we are agreed on ome thing—our devotion to union labor principles. 1 stand shoulder to shoulder with those who ai battling for unionism. Let us all at this crisis stand to- gether, (At this point Judge Frank Murasky entered and was cheered.) T will now make a departure from the thread of my discourse to pay a personal tribute to a personal friend whom I have known from boyhood. He is a man of high ideals, ardent, earnest and_consistent. His name is Frank Work for him and vote for him. 1 have an abiding faith in the maniiness of the working people, and the workingmen consti- tute an easy majority of the voters of this city. 1 gave up a salary of $10,000 a year to stand for unionism. If you do not return me to Congress the loss will be vours. I e nothing to lose. Although calumnies are read, let us be calm. Calmness Is consistent with great courage. Let us be silent and vote our convietions. Mayor Schmitz followed Livernash and appealed for Judge Conlan’s elec- tion as Superior Judge. Judge Conlan said in part: ‘“‘Thaak you for this reception. I have tried to the best of my ability while on the police bench to deal out justice :nd fair play. I purpose to continue in that same groove until the end of my existence. I can only repeat my pledges.” Judge Murasky said: “I find myself embarrassed by those laudations. It is not consistent for a candidate for Su- perior Judge to talk politics. I can only say that I will live up to the pledge I made to you.” James Gallagher and Thomas Eagan also spoke. F B A s RALLY IN THIRTY-SECOND. Democrats Meet and Hear Speeches by Candidates of Their Party. A very successful meeting of the Democrats of the ™ irty-second Dis- trict was held under the auspices of the Iroquois Club at Mannerbund Hall last evening. The meeting was called to order by Willlam H. Kline, who in- troduced Willilam Cannon, who acted as chairman. Among those who acted as vice presidents were J. J. Donovan, James Behan. Willlam Assmussen and A. D. Pratt. : Speeches, dealing chiefly with the tariff and the trusts, wer> made by George Flanagan, Assembly in the district; Joseph Holle, ‘who aspires to be State Senator, and R. P. Troy. While awaiting the ar- rival” of the speakers some excellent vocal solos trere rendered by Martin | Welch. . and pointed to his past record. He said that even if the next House is Re- publican and he is returned, that will not affect his value as a representative of the State, for when a man crosses the threshold of the House of Repre- sentatives party titles are lost sight of and he ranks according to what he Is and what he can do. “Two years ago,” he said, I asked you for your votes, promising to serve you faith- fully. I believe I have done so. No one has ever used any act of mine as a basis of an attack, and this is a record of which I am proud.” Livernash made a strong talk for Parker and Davis, concluding with re- marks cn President Roosevelt, the Election Commissioners and Abe Ruef. He eulogized Wynn. The meeting was marked with en- thusiasm and adjourned with cheers for the Democratic Presidential nomi- nees, Wynn and the nominees for Sen- ate and Assembly. Lol S AIRATY LIST OF DOUBTFUL VOTERS. Merchants’ Association Sends Another Letter to Registrar Adams. The Merchants’ Association of San Francisco is going forward with the work of bringing to light illegal and bogus registration.

Buttner presided. Senator Belshaw was accorded an ovation as he faced the audience. He first took wup the constitutional amendments, pointing out the strong and weak points in each. He then entered upon an able discussion of the issues of the campaign. Senator Knowland was most en- thusiastically received. and held the close attention of the audience throughout his address. The speaker convincingly answered the argument advanced by his Democratic oppo- nents at a meeting held here several weeks ago, many of the Republican nominee’s statements being loudly ap- plauded. Knowland called attention to the benefits California had enjoyed under Republican policies and spoke particularly of what the building of the Panama canal meant to this State. He predicted that California, realizing these facts, would roll up a Roosevelt plurality of more than 50,000 and elect a solid Republican Congressional delegation. The meeting closed with three rousing cheers for the Republi- can ticket. SRR ALY Socialist Candidate Speaks, OAKLAND, Nov. 2.—Ben Hanford of New York, Socialist candidate for Vice President, addressed a largely at- tended meeting to-night at Germania Hall. Hanford denounced the Repub- lican and Democratic parties as rep- resenting the capitalistic class. He said Socialism offered industrial emancipation. Hanford declared ihat the cry of prosperity is a false one. Hanford presented the Socialistic doc- trine to be that the people who de the world’s work shall own the things with which the world’s work is done. —_—————— TWO PERSONS INJURED IN A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT Horse Attached to Buggy Becomes Frightened and Throws Out Occu- pant on Edge of .a Clf. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2.—A thrilling runaway at La Jolla resulted in the injury of two persons and the death of a horse.

People flocked for miles to hear Gov- ernor Pardee speak on the eampalgn issues and later to grasp his hand. Cannon boomed a welcome as the Gov- ernor alighted from the train and hun- dreds were there to meet him. Bands, bonfires and fireworks helped to make the grandest rally in the history of Petaluma. The Unique Theater was too small te accommodate the vast crowd and overflow meetings were held near the hall. Assemblyman F.' A. Cromwell officiated as president of the meeting and leading citizens occupied seats on the beautifully decorated platform. The Governor's speech was forcible, eloquent and convincing and created the greatest enthusiasm. He was fre- quently interrupted by applause. Colonel T. V. Eddy followed and de- livered one of the ablest addresses ever heard here. Neither speaker confined himself to any one line of discussion, but touched upon all the issues of the campaign, enlightening the voters and showing them why the present ad- ministration should not be changed. Petaluma will roll up a big majority for the Republican candidates, includ- ing Duncan E. McKinlay and F. A. Cromwell. i it NEEDHAM FLAY! DEMOCRATS. Congressman Is Given an Enthusiastic Reception at Merced. MERCED, Nov. 2.—This town dem- onstrated to-night that while Congress- man Needham's opponent for office was born here and the city is known as a Democratic stronghold it is the home of many Republicans and hundreds of ardent admirers of Needham. A large audience greeted Congressman Need- ham and accorded him an enthusiastic reception when he was introduced. Con- gressman Needham flayed ‘the Demo- crats for methods they are resorting to in the present campaign, and his utter- ances along this line were loudly cheered. Judge J. A. Barham of Santa Rosa, a former Congressman, made a telling speech on the issues, devoting the most of his time to a discussion of the tariff. He told his auditors they were voting to destroy the prosperity now being en- joyed in casting their ballots for the party of free trade. He compared Judge Conley with Judge Parker, in that both are making statements on the stump that are absolutely without foundation, thus winning the ridicule of hundreds and thousands of voters. Barham excited laughter and tremend- ous applause by saying he has advised Conley, as his personal friend, to make up his mind that he can best serve his State and best preserve the respect of his constituents by remaining on the bench, for while he has made a good Judge he has proved himself a mighty poor politician. The Democrats have given up the hope of defeating Needham. Needham will practically close - the campaign Saturday night at Fresno, when the greatest rally of the campaign will be held. Hundreds will go to the Fresno meeting from surrounding towns, and:the demand for -special trains is so great the Southern Pacific ordered extra cars from other points of the road in order to carry the im- mense crowds to and from Fresno, ity SHORTRIDGE AT IONE. Senator Discusses Campaign Issues Before a Large Audience. IONE, Nov. 2.—Charles M. Short- ridge, the self-styled spelibinder of the Republicans, was greeted in this city to-night by a most enthus‘astic audi- ence. Despite the fact that the day was a cheerless one and cold, the hall in which he spoke was filled to over- flowing. Anvils boomed and bonfires blazed in honor of the Senator’s arrival in the early afternoon: Shortridge was preceded by local speakers, among whom were Charles McKenny, nominee for Assemblyman from the Eleventh District. McKenny was followed by Mr. Amick, candldate for Supervisor of this district. Both were heartily cheered. Mr. Bergstrom them introduced Mr. Shortridge, who at once made himself acquainted with the’ audience, and he immediately let himself into the spirit of address. He referred to Roosevelt {as the “rellable, resourceful Roose- velt,” and his remarks eulogizing Mec- Kinley were the occasion for rapturous cutbursts ‘of enthusiasm. He closed his speech by commending John Hay and Theodore Roosevelt in the highest terms relative to their action in the Panama matter. e s VISITS THIRTEFEN TOWNS. Fairbanks Puts in Another Busy Day in His Home State. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 2.—From Michigan City to Lafayette Senator Fairbanks’ special train to-day stop- ped at thirteen different points.

All of the Senator's addresses were a:‘lrmly applauded. At BALLOT FRAUDS ARE CHARGED Tnele Sam Issues Warrant for the Arrest of Joseph de Benedetti, San Mateo MUST EXPLAIN ACTION Allegations Are That the Accused Man Has Laid Plans to Vote Aliens It is said that a plot whereby 200 votes were to be cast by aliens In San Mateo County for the Democratic candidates for Presidential Electors and Congressmen has been frustrated by the vigilance of United States Dis- trict Attorney Woodworth. v Joseph de Benedetti, - a wealthy man and leading Democratic politician of that ccounty, a resident of Half- moon Bay, is alleged to be the prime mover in the scheme. ‘Woodworth has sworn to a complaint against Ben~ edetti. A warrant is in the hands of Deputy United States Marshal George Burnham for service. Woodworth says he has received in- formation that De Benedetti has in- duced about two hundred Itallan allens to procure certificates of citi- zenship by falsely swearing that they. had come to this country under the age of 18 years and had resided five years in the United States next preced- ing their twenty-first year. Upon these certificates, thus feloniously obtained, the aliens were placed upon the Great Register of San Mateo Coun- ty. Benedetti's ball was fixed at $5000. The complaint .charges De Bene- detti with having feloniously present- ed a certificate of his own citizenship issued September . 1, 1873, which showed on its face that he had been admitted as a citizen of the United States, he well knowing at the time - that the certificate had been unlaw- fully issued to him at Redwood City. It is alleged that De Benedetti repre- sented under oath that he first arrived in the United States under 18 years of age and that he was a subject of the. Kingdom of Italy and had resided five years in the United States next pre- ceding his twenty-first yvear, whereas he had not arrived in theé United States until he was 20 years of age and could not’ become- a citizen until he had first declared under oath. be- fore a court of record renouncing his allegiance to the Kingdom of Italy and declaring his intentions two years prior to applying for such certificate. The second count, in the complaint charges him with having presented the certificate to an officer of regis- tration in violation of section 5426, Revised Statutes of the United States. REDWOOD CITY, Nov. 2.-~Word was received here .to-night that a deputy United States Marshal from San Fran- cisco had gone to Halfmoon Bay to ar- rest Supervisor Joseph de Benedett: for felonfously _obtaining a certificate of citizenship for himself and presenting the same to the Registrar. Consider- able surprise. is evidenced at this news, as Mr. de Benedett] is well known and highly respected. He has held the of- fice of Supervisor for eight years, It is thought that there must be some mis- take or that it is’ a political meve sprung at the last moment to further the interests of Mr. de Benedetti's op- ponent in the Supervisor fight. Nothing is known here of the partic ulars of the charge, but the opinion Is expressed that if the charge is made to injure Mr. de Benedetti's chances of election it will have the opposite effect. —_— e MAY DECLINE VICE PRESIDENCY Fairbanks Would Deprive Democracy of a Senatorship. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2.—Chalr- man Taggart is putting forth his best efforts to capture the Legislature, hoping to be himself ele¢ted to the Senate. “If Senator Fairbanks is elected Vice President and the Democrats carry the Legislature, Fairbanks wild refuse the Vice Presidency and ' re- main in the Senate."
