the crowd al the depot.

sensible manner that evidently won him
many friends. The San Francisco band
played one of Sousa's marches on the side

industries, IN having protection for Ameri-
can industries or in getting back our lost
prosperity" said be. ''ler me say to you
to-day that you will have to vote the Re-
publican ticket" Then he told them how
the brains, pockets and stomachs of coun-
trymen will vote this year. How people
will vote without regari for party, but for
principle. This principle is found iu Re-
publican administration and laws.
Two years ago." he continued, "you
could sell the products Of this country for
IS per cent more than you can to-day
There must be something wrong when
such condition is possible. | read stat
isiics the other day from a Democratic
statistican and they showed that values
of country land have deprecated 1914 per
cent in the last few years. Now, don't
you think something is wrong when. after
twenty-five years of Republican rule,
your ranches should have fallen so in
value within two years?"
He concluded by wishing the people of
Cloverdale long life and prosperity. The
crowd applauded warmly and Mr.. Estee
went among them to shake hands. There
was quite large sprinkling of ladies in
the crowd and they pressed forward to
shake hands with Mr.. Estee. Then the
two bands played with great vigor and the
train moved on.
When it reached here committee of
prominent Republicans Of the county were
at the depot with The Ukiah band to re-
ceive Mr.. Estee and his friends. Business
was temporarily suspended and everybody
was on the streets. Three cheers were
given for EStee. and then there was pro-
cession, with the bands, visitors and local
citizens in line to the Grand Hotel.
At dusk the town was aroused by explo-
sions of bombs. which continued till bon
fires were lighted at halt dozen corners and
red fire and fireworks Frightened the dark
ness. People quickly filled up the streets
and bands played, while fish-horns made
terrific din. Al s P. NJ. procession was
formed at the hotel 1t passed through
principal streets to the Ukiah Opera Hall.
The crowds cheered repeatedly for Mr..
Estee. at the hall there was not half
room enough for the throng that sought
admission, SO an overflow meeting was
held outside.
The applause greeting the opep-air
speeches could be heard inside, while MIR.
Estee and the other speakers were engaged
in proclaiming for Republican ideas.
Thomas Carothers presided In calling
the meeting to order, he announced that
an overflow meeting would be held outside.
He said that the demonstration was proof
that the people have decided that the Re-
publican Party shall again be In power
and also that Democratic rule aud tbe
Wilson bill have been tried and found
wanting.
Il have the pleasure of presenting tn
you, ladies and gentlemen" said Carothers.
"the future Governor of California. the
Hon. M. NJ. Estee." A ronsing cheer was
the response. Mr. Estee said he believed
the gathering represented the people of
Mendoclno County. not alone OF Ukiah.
Il am conscious" he said, THAT the people
are more interested in their own welfare
than In the promotion of any candidate
Tor oftce. We claim this campaign is one
of principle and that the Democratic party
two years ago set uo its claims on a theory
that was fraud. You know what effec,
it has had on the country; that prices Of
properties have been lowered in the mar.

reduced; that more than 1000 600 Ameri
can laborers have been thrown out of em.
ployment in the last eighteen months. and
that nearly all the wheels of industry are
idly rusting Don't you think it is a hier

think that the party guilty of such mis-
government should be destroyed?
II am clearly of the opinion that YOU

and Cleveland and the Democratic part,
say it should be free and unprotected
They commenced by putting wool on tn,

Very effective arguments were advanced
to prove these assertions.
Other speakers followed, and the meet
