DR.. Pardee spoke very clearly, and in a
decided way which evidently took with his

The people noted every point be made

spontaneous applause.
Among such notable points were bis
scathing references to the political iniquities
OF the past Appreciative cheers greeted
his red-hot shot regarding the same old

refOrmers. This was redoubed when he
aiterward alluded to them as 'the same
old political highbinders," the cheering
and laughter breaking out again and again.
But besides sarcasm and whitening satire
there were grave queries, such as IN
mistskably evoked the public Endorsement.
As he called over the record of some of the
candidates on their tickets there arose
deafening shouts of graIifed applause.
The Southern Pacific tools alluded to were
unmasked.

The people noted that these men and or

As to the doctors personal claims on the
ground Of integrity and past record they
were cheered to the echo.
His advice that the safest way to vote was
to vote for every man opposed by "the

The water system, the water front, the

THE EMERIC BILL.
SpOrtSmen Hold a Meeting
to Oppose 1t.
The Report of the Committee That
Was Sent to Sacramento Is Not
Exactly Encouraging.

A meeting of the Sportsmen's Association
was held last evening at the hall Of the
Knights of the Red Branch.
Because of some delay in the Issuing of
notices there was rather poor attendance.
The reading OF the report OF the committee
OF five delegates. who have been working
against the Emerc and Flint bills among
the Sacramento legislators, was the first
business Of the evening. The report did
not contain anything very consoliug to the
hearts of the sportsmen, but showed that
all that could be done had been accom-
plshed by the five active delegates.
The sighting conduct Of Mr.. Emeric to-
ward the committee was gone into. and in
stances of his having failed to keep his
appointments with them and comforting in
stead with the rich dude sports" members
of the Teal and Country clubs were cited.
A great obstacle in the way of the COM
mittee, it seems was the existence of a
pledge given by almost all the disinterested
members of the House to support Emeric's
pet measure In return for like fayors to be
accorded their individual pet measures" at
his hands. Otherwise the sentiment of the
legislators was such that there could be no
reason to fear the summary defeat OF the
bills.
Ii was also apparent that great many of
those approached by the delegates in re-
gard TO the proposed Yosemite Valley road
"a measure very Objectionable to the sports
men-were afraid of Speaker Gould and of
mourning his enmity TO any little measures
of their own. In fast the whole game of
legislation at present appears 10 be as one
indignant sportsman expressed it, case of
tickle me, tickle you." all round.
The committees denounced the action OF
ASsem5lymen Godchaux. Schlesinger and
Curtis. and it was resolved that no member
of the Sportsman's Association should ever
hereafter support any of these gentlemen
for political preferment. On the other
hand a vote of thanks was accorded Messrs.
Shanahan and McCaGley for their active
service in behalf of the association and
against the bills.
After the reading CT the committees re-
port it was resolved that vote of thanks
be rendered THE CALL for its friendly con-
currenee with the sentiments of the sports
