The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
To-day we have the convention.
We must have free market, we will,
and we shall.
Where there is the courage to fight there
is always a chance to win.
The convention will speak in many
voices and utter but one sentiment.
Anti-funding resolutions must mean
that We are resolved as well as say 60.
Cleveland has issued bonds enough to
give every voter a coupon on election day.
The free market movement moves the
home product a Httler closer to the home.
We have now chance to show Hunt
ington that corruption wins not more than
honesty.
Democracy is going to hades by way of
Chicago and few viii deny that the route
is direct.
The gentle rain of one place was the ter
rife storm of another, and the world is
still kicking.
The rain clouds have been a good thing,
but the time has now come to push them
along for while.
We always attend to what Congress
says, but this time Congress must attend
to what we say.
The third-term movement was in the
hands OF a syndicate, and now the syndi-
cate has dissolved.
California asks of Congress no more than
the enforcement of the law, and will will
ingly accept nothing less.
1t costs more to protect the gold reserve
than it would to provide proper coast de-
fenses for the whole Nation.
The farmer has his innings on the earth
now, but the earth will come back at him
and give him work to do at harvest time.
The proposed free market would help
the home market for both the seller and
the buyer, and it behooves both to help it
along.
The st. Louis convention will be held
only little ahead of the one in Chicago,
but the work done will be long way
ahead.
Boies OF Iowa says the Democrats can
find Presidential candidate without much
trouble, and, OF course, that means Boies
is not hiding.
Britain came out of the war furry with
flying squadron and perhaps if there had
been war she would have emerged with
squadron flying.
With Cleveland, anything that leads to
a bond issue IS good. He is even willing
TO be enough OF iingo to buy Cuba and
annex it or that basis.
Ali sections of the State will have dele
gates at the convention, but it will be the
unity of California, single and undivided,
that will be represented.
One Of the things Congress should do by
unanimous vote is to give Secretary Her
bert the 1000 additional men he asks for to
supply full crews for the new navy.
The one object before the convention to-
day will be to devise means to defeat the
funding bill. Whatever step is to be taken
next can be decided on when the time
comes to take it.
Some folks may say San Francisco lost
the fight for the National Convention, but
The world viii take notice that the conven-
ton fights have gone off and San Fran
cisco holds her own.
The committee to which was referred
the resolution affecting Bayard ought not
to be lost in the shuttle, nor should it come
back without report big enough to be
heard across the ocean.
1t was Chicago mob that howled down
the opposition to Cleveland in the Ma
tional Convention four years ago, but the
Chicago people have learned little lesson
since then and history won't repeat itself
this time.
If the railroad has any agents in the con-
vention to-day they will endeavor to in
duce it to adopt such extreme resolutions
as will render it ridiculous, or to involve it
in debate over details that will result in
confusion.
The professors of history and interna-
tional law at some of our universities are
to-day denOuncing the construction given
by Congress to the Monroe doctrine, but
those of tomorrow will be citing it as
patriotic precedent.
There should be no dissensions among
the representatives of the people over dit
ferences of opinion as to the best means of
defeating the funding scheme. The railroad
forces are solid, and those of the people
must be united to meet them.
If all the clubs and social organizations
of the City should agree to follow the ex-
ample of the Art Association and hold
Mardi Gras masquerade this year, the
combination would make festal variety
