The morning call., 1894-10-24

of California, in mass-meetDg assem- Dled. as
sert our belief IN and adherence to the prlDcl'
pies of the Republican party as they nave oeea
declared and promulgated in the platforms OF
the various national and Stale conventions ol
that party, bnt we assert that the present cam
paign in this city and county Involves some
local issues and principles which are as impor.
tant as the great questions of the tarln ana OF
the American system. Among these Is one
without which there can be no Republican Oh
Democratic government, and that Is that lhe
people OF the various districts should be per
mItted to make their own choice OF candl dates
for delegates 10 nominating conventions. VIVID
this principle ignored aud corrupt boss sesec.-
ing the delegates the people are under lyrani
and are serts. and The Government not worth
either protecting or preserving. Another pfln'
clpe is one THAI is national In its appllcai ION,
but concerns the people OF the State OF CalllOr'
MA more than any other State or the Union,
aud that is that railroad corporations and thelr
stock holders should be made 10 pay their deots
10 The Government and 10 pay them wDeh que
as other people have to do. III necessary the
railroad involved should be foreclos upon
and taken by the Government and run as
competing line In opposition TO the octopus
that has been sapping the life blood out OF the
industries OF this State by excessive IrelgDt
charges. Ii after foreclosure there Is a den-
cheney the stockholders should be made 10 pay
IL without extension OF time.
The bonds loaned by the Government TO these
corporations amount TO S13O, O,OOOOOO. IDe
corporations have issued stock to the amount
of 1928, 600, 900, drawing per cent interest
per annum. III the bonded debI is refunded the
interest on the stock will absorb Tie profits of
The road, and at the same time be saddled as
mortgage on the industries OF this State and
coast during the extended period.
We instruct our nominees for The Stale Sen
ate and for the Assembly from this district, II
elected to use all their influenc' TO provide an
efficient primary election law, and also 10 vote
for, aud If possible elect United States Sena-
tors who will not be dominated either by bosses
or corporations, but will strive 10 bring the cor
porations within the law and make them pay
their debts.
We do not believe that Michael de Young Is
the choice OF the people. either of this district
we therefore instruct our nominees for The
State Senate and for the Assembly not TO vote
for MIR. de Young, but TO use all their influence
to secure the election 10 the United STATES Sen
ae of such men as will properly and ably rep
resent the interests of the people OF this State.
