Last evening the Fifth Ward Bryan
Silver club held meeting in Grannis'
hall, corner Of Hoover and Twenty
fourth streets. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Daniel Neuhart.
The first part of the entertainment
consisted of a grand medley cleverly
rendered by Miss Madge Rogers or
chestra. Mr.. Neuhart then introduced
Mr.. l.. B. Rogers, who gave in a logical
historical humorous, serious and polit-
ical manner a complete resume of the
silver question. His telling points and
happy hits were well received and high
ly appreciated by an intelligent audi
ence, which showed it's approval by lib
eral applause.
Mr.. Rogers was followed by Col I. e.
Messmore, who delighted his hearers
with a political oratorical medley which
ranged from pathos to Mark Twain hu-
NOR. ..... -
Col Messmore was followed by S. E.

SIR WILLIAM LANE BOOKER'S AR.
RIVAL

The arrival of Sir William Lane Book
er, who reached New York yesterday on
board the Majestic, is not without sig
nificance. For it was Sir William, SO
many years British consul general in
this city, who organized the elaborate
system for watching the Irish agitators
which enabled the English police de-
partment to keep track of things go
ing on among the Clan-na- Gael and its
kindred associations on this side of the
Atlantic. Sir William it was who first
induced his government to intrust the
duty of watching the Irish to the Pinler
ton agency in preference to detectives
from London and Dublin. Sir William
has retired on pension. But he is still
carried on the lists of the foreign office
in London, and is liable to be called upon
at any moment to undertake negotia-
tions, either public or secret, on behalf
Of his government. Under the circum-
stances it is only natural to attribute
his sudden and unheralded coming just
now to some mission of his government
relating to the alleged Irish oynamiters.
Lady Booker, it may be added, is an
American lady, the widow of Mr.. p.
Bispham of San Francisco, and the
daughter of the late Gilbert Page of

fine memorial discourse from Joshua,

THE YOUNG MEN
They Are All in Line for William j
Bryan and Silver

Another large and enthusiastic audi
ence assembled at the wigwam last night
at the meeting of the Young Mems Free
Silver league of this city.
Greeley W. Bentley, president of the
club, presided as chairman, and after a
few we'll chosen words introduced as the
first speaker of the evening Charles
Weilborn, who entertained the audience
for about twenty minutes with argu-
ments that were unanswerable on behalf
of silver.
Charles Johnson followed, and while
his address was brief, it was to the point,
and bristled with many fine points.
Harry Lee Martin next gave an enter
tanning and logical address upon the
issues of the campaign. This campaign
has furnished many speakers, who have
come forward to battle for the peoples
cause, but it is doubtful if there is today
on the Pacific coast young man who
entertains his audience as does Mr.. Mar
tin.
Frank Scheidler followed with one of
his inimitable speeches, which kept the
audience in a roar of laughter foS three
quarters of an hour.
The meeting ended with three cheers
and tiger for Bryan.

this evening. A general invitation has
been extended to voters in the ward to
be present and enlist in the cause. A
membership committee consisting OF
Messrs. E. Abs-Hagen, Walter Rose and
Ivan A. Weld has been appointed, to
which all applications for membership
in the ward club will be referred. Mr..
Johanssen is temporary president of
the club and Mr.. Abs Hagen secretary.
Inquiries are received at headquarters
every day from prospective candidates
or their friends for information as to
how to proceed to get the league nomina-
tion. The method is explained in an
official bulletin, as fellows
The first essential for nomination IS
that man should secure the signatures
of twenty men of standing in the COM
munity who ask that his name be en-
tered upon the postal primary ballot.
He then pays a fee of $40, and his name
is recorded. For board of education
the fee is 81. When the vote is taken
among the members (Which includes all
members of the ward clubs), If it is
found that any man has majority, he
is thereby nominated; but if the vote re-
suits merely in plurality, the conven-
tion will elect.
The plan for nomination of delegates
to the convention is explained as fol-
lows:
Each precinct is entitled to three dele
gates-making a total Of 222. Any man
may place his own name, or that of a
friend, on the list of candidates, by pay
ing a special fee of 81. Only members
of the league itself are eligible as dele
gates to the convention. Thus, any
ward club member who desires to go as
O delegate should file his name for mem
bership in the league and pay 81 mem
bership fee. The names of proposed
delegates are printed on a ballot, which
is sent to all league members and ward
club members in that precinct, and
those receiving the most votes are chos-
en- to go to the convention.

wealthy Ballous of Rhode Island. She
was little bit of woman, and don't
know but her husband may have
thought she was rather too bright She
created quite an excitement for him at
one election, 1 know. He was an editor
named Robinson. They had gone west.
When her husband left town for a few
days, he felt confident that she was able
to run the paper. She was able, but it
became evident that she did not share
her husbands views on all subjects. The
paper was Democratic, and Mrs. Robin
son made the change in editors mani
fest Immediately by coming out with a
strong Whig leader. She created a sem
sation. That must have been as long

A BOOM FOR SLAUSON
lie Attempts to Get Double Nomina-
tion for Mayor


A double boom in the interests of j.
Slausons candidacy for the mayorality
was launched yesterday. 1t made It's
advent in the shape of petition signed
by a number of leading Republicans
asking Mr. Slauson to stand for the Re-
publican Eomipation, and similar petit
ton signed by twenty members OF the
Better City Government league, asking
him to stand for the nomination at the
hands of that organization. The sign
ers of the latter petition are A. Jacoby
w. c. Patterson, Fl. w. Frank, Charles
Cassat Davis, Ferd K Rule, T. w Broth
erton, r. f. Gibbon, T. D. Stimson, Max

Clark, F. W. Braun, Dr. Joseph Kurtz,
H. j. Woollacott and NJ. A. 'Newmark,
about one-half of whom are Republi-
cans and the rest gold Democrats All
are prominent business men.
Mr.. Slauson has two weeks time in
which to make up his mind whether
he Will try for the league nomination
by the postal primary plan. BY that
time the Republican convention will
be over and he will have learned his fate
at the hands of that body. II success
ful, he will undoubtedly seek the league
endorsement, but whether he could OBJ
tain that is problematical, as other can
didates are looming up who might be
able to muster more votes among the
league members than the Figueroa
street capitalist.
Although Mr.. Slauson incurred the en-
nifty of Colonel Otis by going to Wash
ington last winter to lobby for Santa
Monica, he seems to have squared him
self with the choleric editor of the Times.
in some manner for that paper has come
out in advocacy of his cause. Of course
that lessons his chances for the nomina-
ton, as it is not likely that Otis will be
able to dictate the action of the forth
coming Republican convention any
more than he bossed the conventions of
the past.
Shrewd politicians are of the opinion
that Mr.. Slauson will fail in his ambi-
ton to be nominated for mayor by the
Republicans, and that he will decline to
risk defeat as the candidate of the Bet
ter City Government league, even should
he be able to secure nomination by that
body.
