The reform candidate held good meet
ing at Haywards last night, aud from the
interest," manifested in the speeches it Is
pretty certain that the Non-Partisan
movement is just as strong among the
farmers as among the city taxpayers.
Speeches were made by all the candi-
dates, the following being extracts from
the address Of City Clerk Tompkins, the
Non-Partisan candidate for County Clerk:
The delegates who went into convention and
nominated the Non Partisan ticket were earnest
and conscientious taxpayers ana citizens from
both the Republican and Democratic parties,
men who had become disguised with the un-
fair and dishonest methods Tesorted to in both
parties, men who would no longer be Identified
with political parties controlled and manlpu-
lated by unprinclpled and dishonest bosses
who were using bolh parties solely In the in
Ierests OF corporations and their (he DOsses)
individual interests. We, the Non-Partsans,
decided we would no longer recognize such
men as leaders, neither would we, by voting
either the Republican or Democratic ticket, in
city or county politics. encourage or be party
TO such methods.
We came to the conclusion it was about time
the people were consulted in the selection Of
delegates and the nomination of candidates
instead of ward strikers. saloon loafers and
every other disreputable element IN the COM
munlty.
In the Non-Partisan convention men were
selected who had bel tired and proven; men

At the conclusion of his remarks AIR
Tompkins was literally applauded.

Saturday evening will speak at PARK

Senator White Talks,
The biggest Democratic meeting that
has been held in Alameda County was

the Non-Partisans, aud last nights meet

To that end all the good Democrats

droves.
The announcement that Senator Stephen
M. White would be present no doubt
had much to do with the crowd, because
