VETERANS INDIGNANT.
Publication in Popuist Paper Which
Aroused Their Ire and May
Cause Trouble.

OAKLAND, CAL. Aug. 10.-The Army
and Navy Republican League Is political
organization formed of ex-Union soldiers
and sailors of Oakland. Last Friday even
ing they opened magnificent headquarters
at 476-47S Eighth street. In regard to this
event the Populist weekly has aroused a
storm of indignation that may result in
some formal action by the league:
The cause of the trouble is the publica-
tion of the following:
Money will be lavishly spent, and where 1t is
not possible to make q vote by sophistical ar.
guments or bulldozing, measures will be
adopted. If possible, to enter the homes OF the
voters and snatch from the table the food
thereon, or leave it with the alternative OF
voting the Republican ticket.
Young men OF Alameda, shun the portals OF
this hive of corruption. Look upon it as you
would leprous body, for its touch, i IS breath,
its environments and its teachings are as fatal
in its results as the horrible disease from
which none can ever hope to be relieved.
Between Broadway and Washington on
Eighth street the club headquarters of the Re-
publican party of this county have been To-
Gated.
This place, festooned by the colors of our
country ("to what base uses do we decline'') },
will be DEVOTED TO making fight for "Bill Nc
Kinley, or Mckinley Bill" as is announced in
glaring black letters Men will make speeches
to those who will assemble at stated times,
urging the election OF this man as the execu-
tive head OF the country. Men will concoct
schemes fit only to be hatched in Pluto's do
main, and will dispatch hired emissaries to
every nook and Granny OF the country to en-
deaYor to carry them out.

through these exposition buildings and
think intelligently. No dispassionate
mind can fail to grasp the lesson that they
teach. Even now it is only the hope that
speedy relief is coming that induces
many of our manufacturers to keep their
factory-doors open. Things are not really
SO pleasant as they seem, and what they
would be unless protection is accorded
them speedily would not dare to proph-
esy.
"Take another look. Everything your
eye rests upon is manufactured or pro-
duced in this country. The wine industry
alone represents great industry. Shall
it be crushed out? See that sign, Cali
fornia Silk Goods or that other one,
California Cotton Goods California
Nails California Farming Mach inery,'
California Rugs and Carpets, etc.-what
do they meanP They mean that this fast
developing section, of which Alameda
County is part, is already panufactur-
ing center, and if it is to continue as such
it must be protected. We do not work for
cupfull of rice and a few cents day.
We do not wish to be clothed in rags and
see our very backb bone, our man ufactories,
be closed. Take from Alameda County
every factory in it and try to contemplate
the result. Double the number of factories
in the county and then try to form an
idea of the future.
"This exposition is truly grand, but next
year l hope it will be much more grand.
If this lesson be not lost on the people of
this county they will strike the keynote
of new regime next November. They
should remem ber that the smoke from the
factory chimney is of far more significance
than the uprisings of irresponsible and in
experienced politicians who are simply
giving, not even not stone, but bubble
when bread is needed.

When asked by CALL reporter what
was the most noticeable feature of the
show he replied: at is something that
have not yet heard anybody refer to. This
exposition is not ostensibly a political
demonstration, but it is the greatest OBJ
ject, lesson that could possibly be placed
before the people.
who can listen to the whirr of those
wheels and not think of the potent factor
they are in our prosperity? Here we see
busy hands controlling powerful silk man
ufacturing machines. cotton manuiactur-
ing machines, hardware manufacturing
machines, all turning out material which
every one must use and without which we
cannot live in comfort. If all these wheels
are to be kept going what must be accorded
to them? Protection, pure simple protec-
ton.
Where do we derive our wealth bu
through the mills and the great manu-
factories? Shall all these wheels cease
and the millions of people that depend
on them for their daily bread starve2
This display of material prosperity and
| advancement is a source OF proper pride
not only to the residents of Alan meda
County but to the entire State. Material
prosperity lies at the foundation OF all
other properties. In poverty there can
be no art, in penury no learning. Beyon
material prosperity and the result of it, is
the life, the growth, the freedom and pros
perity of the Nation.
Look at this busy hive. 1t must be
protected. Ii all the foreign pauper
hordes OF unskilled laborers are to come
here unrestricted and our manufactures
are to be placed on free-trade footing
with the manufacturers of overcrowded
Japan, China and Europe, how many
years would elapse before it would be i'm
possible for Oakland to get together such
an exposition as this? With free trade
and unrestricted immigration l do not be-
lieve three years would pass, perhaps not
one, before these wheels would cease and
Alameda County would return to her
former pristine condition.

these busy scenes suggest. There are three
great lines of development in this Nation.
One is on the Atlantic seacoast. Boston,
New York, Baltimore and Charleston rep
resent that line. The second line is down
the waters of the Mississippi. 1t runs
through Minneapolis and ST. Paul, Chi
cago and Burlington, st. Louis and New
Orleans. The third great line cuts through
Oakland. 1t runs from Tacoma, Portland
to San Francisco and Oakland and to Los
Angeles and San Diego.
"ShalI we, here in Oakland, not do our
part TO increase the power of this division
on which we live? Shall we jump at every
new doctrine and heedlessly rush into
dangerous fields in the face of our own ex-
periepce? Shall we, who have this great
exposition to teacn us our duty in the
premises say 'Pshaw,' and advocate COM
mercial suicide? If not. what then? We
must look beyond our busy wheels for a

CONTEST AT THE EXPOSITION

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, Aug. 10.
The baby contest, which has now be-
come an annual affair, drew large crowd
of mothers and young hopefuls to the
Tabernacle this afternoon. There were
ten entries to the contest and the test
words Alameda County Industrial Expo
sition' proved a hard nut for some oi
the youngsters to crack. All the babies
had to be under two years of age.
The result proved that even in their
youngest stages the ladies of Alameda
other sex.
Rev. DR.. E. E. Chapman, A. A. Pennoye1
and DR.. J. P. Dunn were the judges. DR..
Chapmsn's white hairs render him proof
against any hostile attack by a disap-
pointed or jealous mater. Mr.. Pennoyer
evaded any possible conflict py referring
to the long experience and judgment OF
DR.. Chapman, and DR.. Dunn, surgeon
in the National Guard. assumed his most
imperious air and approached so near to
the idealistic Gear that the woman does
not exist, even in Oakland, that would
dare to dispute any ukase he might issue.
There had evidently been good deal of
coaxing done, and many promises were
made by am bilious mothers. Little JUS
tus Simpson, young as he is, proved that
he knew the value of money. He had been
promised half a dollar to speak we'll, and
when he went on the platform he de-
manded his pay before he would compete.
The little one who pronounced the
phrase alameda County Industrial Ex-
position" most clearly was Miss Vera
Motfitt, who is not quite two years old.
When the announcement was made several
people crowded around the proud mother
and congratulated. Considerable amuse-
ment was afforded when it was discovered
that the lady was not the mother but the
aunt of the child.
The second prize was captured by
Evelyn Chubb, who is several months be.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. 10.-The Polit-
ical Equality Club held an afternoon meet
ing in Foresters' Hall to-day. the presi-
dent, Mrs. G. l.. Wood, in the chair.
Mrs. s. G. Sanford OF Oakland delivered
an interesting address on the emancipa-
ton of women during the past half-cen-
tury, and argued therefrom that the ballot
was but woman's due and furthering OF
the evolution of the equality of rights.
Attention was drawn to the noble work
women had done in church life and in
conducting the multifarious societies in
the world. The training received in this
work would come useful to her when the
ballot was made possible.
Mrs. Sanford also emphasized the cru
e1ty exhibited to women in the probate
courts by mems legislation. The wives
and daughters of American citizens are
the only leisure class in the Union, and
they should take hold of the political tan
gre and straighten it out. If there was
one reason stronger than another why
women should have vote, 1T lies in the
earnest desire of all women to make child
labor impossible.
The business of the meeting was to ap-
point committees to make a house to
house canvass in the various precincts.

presence can be obtained to hold monster

Did NOT Work.

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 10.-The efforts
of the Southern Pacific Company to econo-
mize by laying off the men at the yards
and shops at the West End every Saturday
has already proved partial failure, and
before long it is believed the rule will be
abridged so far as this city is concerned.
A considerable number of the men laid
off at first under the order were put to
work again. 1t was found that the work
accumulated under the Saturday lay-off
plan, and it would necessarily have to be
rescinded This is greatly to the satisfac-
ton of the men employed.

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 10-In an arti-
Gle published last Saturday regard ing the

who horsewhipped her husband on Broad
way. Il was never cowhiced by my
wife," said Mr.. Austin to-day. "Mrs.
Austin did figure in street scene, but it
was not with me but with man whom /
believe was named Wallace"
Since that time Mr.. and Mrs. Austin
