WOODLAWN FARMERS' CLUB.

WOODLAND FARMERS CLUB.
The February meeting of the Wood
lawn Farmers Club was held at the
residence of Lewis Gillingham on tho
ODD inst, President Harrison in the
chair. The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, which drew
out extended remarks about the pro-
posed new road law. Some doubts
were expressed as 10 whether Virginia
was prepared for such a law now. III
was asserted that where the expensive
roads had been built in New Jersey
complaints were numerous about the
heavy taxes, and it was thought that IN
this State the ten per cent. tax on al
iacent property would totally absorb
the present values. The probabilities
are, however, that when such roads are
built the value of the adjacent LANDS
will be increased 100 per cent.
Blanks from the Agricultural Depart
ment relating to the corn and wheat
crops were filled up after ascerlainlnS
The views of the members as to the
proper percentages, which INDUCED
numerous remarks about. the efficiency
aud value of this branch of the govern
ment, favorable and otherwise-chlef1y
otherwise-the slightunpleasantness be-
tween the secretary and Congress about
the seed business being full commented
upon and humorous illusions to the
new plant, "Canis Mortonii," being In
dulged in.
C. Lukens submitted copy OF bill
for farmers market in Washington
city to be presented to Congress which
he had received from r. B. Farquhar,
of Rockville, Nd, together with re-
quest that the club take action in furth-
erance of the object sought. The fol-
lowing resolution relative thereto were
adopted:
Resolved, That this club approves
and endorses the bill for farmers
market in Washington city, that is be-
ing urged by the farmers of Maryland,
and that the secretary be instructed to
request representative Meredith and
Senators Daniel and Martin to give the
measure their full support.
The afternoon being shortened at this
season supper was early announced and
the club adjourned to meet March 2Sth
at the home of John Ballinger.

Tours to Florida.

In order to give the public an opportunity
to visit Florida at a very reasonable cost, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has arranged
for a series of tours to Jacksonville. The
company's unexcellcd train service, expcr.
fenced tourist agents and chaperons, and
above all, its moderate charges, leave nothing
to be desired The tours allowing two weeks
stay in Florida, will leave on February 30
and March 8. The rate, including traEs-
portation, meals en- route and Pullman berth
on special train, is $50 from New York, and
proportionate rates from other points. For

All Are Assured of Republican
Victory Next Tues
day.
THE OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT.
San Francisco Will Return Most of

With Mckinley Views.
THE OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT.

The views of the Republican nominees
for the Assembly from this City, as pub
lished in yesterdays CALL, acted as an i'm
petus to the other Assem- blypen in the
remaining Assembly districts! to express
their views upon the political complexion
as they have focused il.
George A. Wentworth, the young attor-
ney-at-Iaw who received the regular Re-
publican nomination for the Thirty-sev-
enth District, SAID:
"My district extends from Van Ness
avenue to the ocean, taking in all of Hayes
Valley, which is a prosperous settlement.
And after careful canvass of the entire
district l am prepared to assert that Twill
be elected, as find the:people all through
the district to be in favor ef Mckinley and
protection. This, of course, means the
Republican party and myself, being the
regular nominee of the party, will, as a
matter of course, get their votes"
THE Thirty-eighth Assembly District
is"Repubiican. It's citizens and residents
are among the best people IN the City, and
being such will vote for me-" said Gus
Pohlmann. Not that / am any better
than any other man, but simply because.I
have got the correct credentials from the
regular Republican party and as a matter
of course am bound to vote in accordance
with the policy. of that party and be. re-
sponsible to that party for my official acts.
| will be elected sure and will vote for a
Republican United States Senator"
1.-THE Thirty-ninth Assem- bly, District is
known as the banner Republican district
of San Francisco said Leon E. Jones,

nee for that district. l will be. elected,
that is most certain. 1 know the people
of my district, and they know me to be a
true and loyal Republican. And when l
say this | say what l can prove to be cor
rect"
''The Fortieth Assembly District can be
scratched off the doubtful column" said
Sig. NJ. Bettman, the regular Republican
n6mi nee. when asked how he stood with
his people:
honor of representing in Sacramento next
spring is safe for Mckinley, Hobart, the
Republican party and its regular nominee
for the Assembly and for all the other
municipal officers.
"Just pass on to the next district and
ask them how they feel. The F6rtieth is
o. K. for Republican United States Sem
ator next January"
"Oh, say, ask me something that I may
have little doubt about just 10 keep me
thinking awhile. Why, the Forty-frst is
just as certain to elect Henry G. Dibble,
the regular Republican nominee for the
Assembly, as that that same Henry G.
Dibble is running. No use in worrying
about my district-it IS loyal and true to
the Republican party and will elect me by
a handsome majority"
s.The Forty second is o. K. for safe
Republican Assemblyman and that man
will be myself simply because l am the
Regular Republican nominee. These
were the words spoken by Lorenzo A.
Henry when asked how he stood with the
voters OF his district.
"The Forty third will return me to the
next Assembly just as sure as the sun will
rise on next Tuesday morning." said Fred
Lunduuist, the Regular Republican nomi-
nee Tor the Assem- bly, from that district.
81 have made very careful canvass of
the people of my district all along the
line from Market street 10 Broadway,
cross streets and all, and from what con-
cluded to be an honest expression OF their
individual opinions | am certain of being
elected to the Assembly from this dis
trlct"
ssThe fight is not between men this
wear. 1t is party and principles, and in
asmuch as / represent the Regular Re-
publican party there can be but very little
doubt of my election" This is the way
Joseph Merani, the Regular Republican
nominee for the Forty-fourth Assembly
District, spoke when asked about his
chances for election.
In the Forty-fifth Assembly District,
where Joseph O'Hanlon is the running
mate of Thomas w. Chandler, the regular
nominee of the Republican party for
State Senator, the conjoined opinion of
both was had at the same time.
O'Hanlon said he was sure of sbeing
elected from the result of his canvass
among the people. He continued: II
have lived all my life in this district as
has Mr.. Chandler, and we both are we'll
known and have every reason to be as
sured of our election"
