The San Francisco call., 1896-05-03
THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.

- THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Stand firm for free silver.
.Woman's suffrage is the coming issue.
Sacramento will soon be the storm
center.
The Sacramento platform should be a
: stenl-winder.
:. Now, is the time for Republicans to look |
=. before they leap.
:; Free silver coinage mesns freedom from
:: financial paralysis.
This week the Republican State Conven-
ton is'the big thing.
Hill: and Tillman would be as good a |
Democratic ticket as any.
The liberal man deviseth liberal things |
for women as well as for men.
:: Woman's suffrage makes good leap
year issue and deserves support.
This. week San Jose leads the festal |
dance and keeps up the merriment.
which Californians should be pledged.
Republican victory in California this
year has special promise for the ladies.
Never think you know all about situa-
tion until you have studied it on the spot.
=: Thep proper place to do National Conven-
tion politics is in the National Convention.
D. Hill esneered at the Tillman pitchfork,
::'bnt all the same the pitchfork reached
him:
- Read THE CALL and keep posted on the
=. progress of the womans suffrage cam
paign. =:
The Garden City will spread itself this
week and wear the title, "the Garden of
Eden City" : :
= Among Democrats even a one-idea man
:. would be king if they could find him in
their ranks.
= It is among extremists only that
enthusiasm. is counted for more than
:: .connmon-sense-
:: The more festivals we have the more we
feel like frolicking and the more fun we
= get out OF them.
>. With an unpledged. delegation we may
get in the Cabinet; with s. pledged one we
are liable to get in the tureen.
1t is worth remembering at this time
that no candidate was ever elected Presi-
dent on gold standard platform.
Once more Senator Hill has informed
the cDrOfrv that ba is M friepd of CIava
land. The thing is getting monotonous.
Under the gold standard the bond |
holders have 16 TO / advantage over the |
people. but with free silver coinage things |
will be equal.
The Republican party should give a |
helping hand to the woman's suffrage |
movement and turn the campaign into |
festival procession.
Unless they proceed to organize them |
selves and get into better shape, the Dem |
ocrats won't even be entitled to belligerent |
rights in this campaign.
California Republicans must commit no |
blunder at this iuncture. The common
" sense of the situation calls for an un-
pledged delegation at st. Louis.
"
Los Angeles may have another fiesta, |
but she will not wind up with Fools |
night" like the last one, unless she IS a |
bigger fool than she thinks herself.
The brightest, freest and fullest social |
wave of the coming week will be that |
which flows triumphantly along in the |
San.Jose swim as lovely as notion of de- |
light.
Until it is known whether a gold or a |
silver candidate win be nominated at Chi !
csgo it cannot be safely asserted that the |
Democrats will carry even so much as
Mississippi.
There has been no kick about the |
weather at Redwood or Santa Rosa. |
Their festivals seem to have been bright |
enough TO clear the clouds away and dec |
crate the skies.
THE CALL is the only morning paper in |
San Francisco that receives United Press |
dispatches, and even if you take another |
paper you must take THE CALL also to get |
the correct news.
Under the double standard of gold and |
silver one metal serves as q check upon |
the other, preventing any violent tluctua- |
tions in values and maintaining the |
equilibrium of prices.
The Sacramento Bee, with an unerring |
instinct, got at the honey in the wilderness |
of the situation when it urged that Cali
fornia should send to St. Louis a delega-
tion pledged to free silver.
California should not pledge her delega-
ton to any candidate at ST. Louis until ii |
is certain that he will stand for free silver
coinage, shipping interests, irrigation and |
other measures in which Pacific Coast in
terests are concerned.
