W0MAN'S SUFFRAGE.

Vote for amendment No. 6. 1t proposes
to change the present law by omitting the
word male in defining the qualifications of
electors in this State. 1t gives suffrage to
the women of California as we'll as to
men. 1t establishes equality before the
law and confers upon all the people the
rights which have hitherto been confined
to one-half of them only.
The women of California deserve the
right to vote. They have shared with
men all the burdens and toll and dangers
OF building up this State from its former
condition OF a Mexican province to its
present proud position as one of the lead
ing commonwealths of the American Re-
public. Women were among the pioneers
of the State. They aided in it's early set
Element They assisted in providing it's
schools, its churches and its homes. Their
influence transformed the roughness of
the early days into the culture that exists
now. They are among the foremost edu-
Gators of the State, among its most earnest
and industrious workers, and not few of
them rank among its greatest taxpayers.
Women have rights which are affected
by legislation as we'll as men. They have
interests to be guarded by good laws as
well as men. They have property to be
taxed as well as men. Their intelligence,
their integrity and their patriotism, to
say the least, is not less than that of men.
To them, therefor, by every principle of
reason. justice and expediency is the privi-
lege of voting TO be accorded. The Re-
publican party, in its State convention,
pledged itself to support the cause of
woman's suffrage, and that pledge should
be remembered and kept by every Re-
publican at the polls.
Nor should it be Republicans only who
vote for the amendment.
The issue is one which appeals to the
better instincts of men of all parties. All
therefore should vote for 1t. Let us make
this day day of triumph, not only for
National prosps rity but for the enfran-
chisement of the women of California.

sure OF an administration In which all peo-
pie of San Francisco can take lust pride.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

As at present constituted the Senate of
the United States is in the hands of
neither OF the great political parties of the
country. Republicans and Democrats are
nearly tied, and the Populists and free
silverites hold the balance of power. A
strong fight is being made in every State
where Senator is to be elected for the
purpose of winning control OF the Senate
for one side or the other. To that fight
every voter must direct his attention.
The next Legislature of California is to
elect United States Senator. Whether
he is to be Republican who stands for
protection and sound money or an advo-
cate of free trade and free silver depends
upon the constitution of the Legislature of
the State. If the people of California de-
sire that their industries should be pro-
tected they must elect a protectionist

The other nations of the world have
their separate and independent political
organizations for the purpose OF work

to this Governments; they contribute
nothing to its support, either in war or
in peace, and If they are to come into
this country and compete with our peo-
pie, We say that you can 10 it upon con-
dition that a tariff shall be put upon
your products, and that tariff will go to-

ELECTION COMMISSIONERS.

Among the important municipal Offices
to be filed by election to-day are those
whose incumbents are ex-officio Election
Commissioners. These offices are Mayor.
Auditor, Surveyor, City end County At
to orney and Tax Collector. Three OF these
ornces are now in the hands of Democrats,
and the Mayor was elected as Populist,
so that only one man on the commission
is Republican.
a condition similar to this has pre-
vailed for long time, and 1t behooves the
Republicans of the City to see to it that
this year they elect a majority of these
officers. 1t is clear that so long as our
election machinery is in the hands of
Democratic officials, who in many cases
are but the tools of Democratic bosses
fair elections are slmost an impossibility.
The scandals OF past elections are fresh in
the minds of all voters, and we need but
recall them to enable every citizen to see
how important it is to make change in
this respect.

WHERE TO SEE THE BULLETINS.

There is but one bulletin board in San
Francisco to-day where the news Of the
election can be read by many thousand
people without the slightest incon-
venience or straining of the eyes. That
splendid stretch of canvas is on the great
CALL building, Third and Market streets.
The day bulletins will be displayed in
front of The CALL business Office, and the
night news will be flashed by stereopticon
upon canvas 20x36 feet, which is
stretched in front of the fourth story OF
the new CALL building.
The public will have an unbrokeu view
from O'Farrell and Market streets almost
10 Montgom cry. and from a point nearly
as far as Post street on Kearny. Thus
thousands will be able to read the news
without huddling into little crowds in the
middle OF the street, thereby taking the
risk OF being run over by vehicles. The
height of the large bulletin sheet is such
that it is plainly visible for long distance,
ana nobody's head will obscure any body
else's view.
The CALL. moreover, will give the latest,
most accurate and complete returns that
money and modern facilities can produce.
Returns from every State in the Union
and from the great news centers will be
flashed upon the canvas without delay.
The bulletins will be written on glass with
india ink, or Impressed upon gelatine
slides by the typewriter process, so as to
be legible to all without the slightest
straining of the eyes.
Arrangements have been perfected for
speedy returns from every precinct IN the
City, and the results of voting on the mu-
nicipal ticket will be flashed upon the can
vas at the earliest possible moment.
THE CALLS service on the general result
will consist of the United Associated Press
returns, which are now admitted to be
the most complete and accurate in the
United States.
If you want to know the news at the
earliest possible moment tonight station
Yourself anywhere along Market or
Kearny streets within sight OF THE CALLS

ticon will do the rest

BRING OUT The VOTE.

The Weather Bureau reports as fore.
cast for California to-day fair weather
with brisk westerly winds. This is a good
omen for the success of the Repu blican
party. The men who compose that party,
representing as they do the classes who
are most accustomed to the comforts and
conveniences of cultured life, are too often
fair-weather voters. With the most earn
est desire for the welfare OF the country,
they are not infrequently over-sanguine in
their dependence upon the popular vote,
and when the weather is bad neglect to
perform the duty of citizens by going to
the polls and voting and working for the
ticket which stands for National pros
perity.
To-day the forecast is for fair weather,
and for that reason we may look for
large Republican vote. Should the weather
change suddenly, however, there should
be no change in the determination OF good
citizens to 90 to the polls. Be the weather
good or bad, there is but one election day.
Whoever wishes to vote for sound money,
for protection, for law and order, must
vote to-day.
The best plan for every one to adopt is
to go to the polls and vote as early as pos
sible in the day, and then give whatever
time he can spare TO the work of bringing
out others. The vote of everyright think
ing man should be polled. The sentiment
of the business men and industrious work
ingmen of California is Overwhelmingly
on the side of Mckinley and Hobart.
| That much was made evident by the great
parade on Saturday. Public sentiment,
however, will avail little to-day. The only
thing that will count now is vote. Un-
less the full strength of Republicans and
honest money Democrats is registered at
the polls by ballots cast for the Republica
Presidential electors all that has been done
in the campaign for sound money and good
government will go for nothing.
All over the Union ballots will be falling
in the ballot-boxes to-day as fast as au-
tumnal leaves when they are strewn by
the winds of November. II they are cast
from motives of patriotism ana with an
intelligent desire TO serve the welfare oil
the Republic, they will be blessing TO
every industry and to every citizen. But
ii cast from motives of prejudice, hate or
passion they are likely to prove injurious
to every hope of the Republic and every
good of the people.
1t is true that the vitality of the Re-
public will not be affected by the re-
suit but it is equally true that its pros.
perity will largely depend upon which
side the majority of the ballots is cast.
The issues before Us are not slight nor
transient. They will have long-lasting
effect upon the history of the Nation, and
it is therefore a solemn duty on the part
of every good citizen to vote for that side
which tends to maintain the growing good
of the American people and the honor and
integrity of the Nation.

are: Charles l.. Taylor for Mayor, Will
liam A. Deane for Auditor, G. III. Weljen
for Tax Collector, John R. Aitken for
Attorney and Charles L. Tilton for Sur
veyor. Remember the names, remember
the offices and remember the importance
of the issue.
The men nominated by the regular
Republican party for these offices are in
every way worthy of the positions TO
which they aspire. No man can question
their ability to fill the official positions
for which they have been nominated, nor
can it be doubted that they will be just
and fair in thetf actions as Election Com
missioners. Vote for every one OF them.
Let us put an end to election scandals and
make sure of Board of Commissioners
who will be a credit to the City and i'm
partial managers of alLelections.

HORSES HAVE
THE INFL UENzA
Another Epidemic Spread.
ing With Alarming
Rapidity.
Some OF the Very Best Family
Nags in the City
Affected.
HOSPITAL ESTABLISHED.
The Disease Is Serious and Painful
to the Victims. but Not Many
Fatalities Are Reported.

A new epidemic is spreading with star
tiing rapidity among the horses of the
City.
Veterinary surgeons have for the past
four or five days been kept on the jump in
answer to calls from every quarter of the
City.
The complaint Is form of influenza,
affecting the mucous lining of the bowels.
Technically the disease is known as an
enteric form of influenza. Victims of it
suffer greatly. The early symptoms are a
dullness and loss of appetite, followed
shortly by evidences of internal suffering.
The horse begins to paw and to stretch out
his fore leg as if appealing for relief He
will, as his suffering increases, lie down
and roll, and in every way manifest his
distress.
The surgeons say the disease Is not par
ticularly dangerous, but out of q great
number affected two or three deaths have
been reported.
DR.. Egan has established a hospital
near his Golden Gate avenne Office, where
there are no less than eighteen horses
now afflicted with the disease, all gath
cred IN within the past five days. "I have
scarcely had any sleep for three nights
past" said DR.. Egan yesterday, II got
to bed at half-past 1 O'Clock yesterday
morning and was called up at O'Clock,
and from that time until 10 at night was
on the go from one place to another.
There certainly seems to be an epidemic
on, but [ do not think it is dangerous. /
have had but one fatal case go far"
The disease does not confine itself to
any class or condition of horses. Some of
Lloyd Tevis' and other well-known family
horses are affected.

The Republican party proposes, when
ever restored to full power, such a re-
vision of the tariff as will secure suffi-
chronic deficiency which has existed
more than three years and still exists,
and as will also provide a surplus from
which the redemption fund may be re-
pIenished in time of need, and the in
terest- t-bearing debt gradually reduced !;
and at the same time with duties SO
adjusted on protective lines as to en-
courage American industries and labor,
and such other egislation, not to enter
into details, as the Republican par Y
has championed and the public inter-
ests require.-Hon. Nelson Dingley.

FOR SOUND MONEY AND
PATRIOTISM.

One of the Incidents of Saturdays Great
Parade.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco CdH-SIR :
The banner carried by my employees in Satur-
days magnificent parade contained the fol-
lowing inscription: This agency represents
10000 newspapers. More than $4,000 advo-
cate sound money and protection" Believing
that fact of such vast significance ought to
receive the widest possible circulation, I re-
quest that you will insert this card in the next
Issue or your paper. / am further requested
by the above employees to state that so far
from being coerced TO appear in that parade
they most gladly volunteered their services
for that occasion and that they esteem it as
one OF the proudest and most pleasing expert
ences Of their lives. Respectfully,

BEWARE OF OANARDS.

Beware of canards. Beware of false cir
culars. Beware of false statements con-
corning candidates or parties which may
be circulated to-day. ALI things which
pertain to this campaign and are true have
been published before this. Whatever
new statements may be sent round to-day
are almost sure to be false. If there were
any truth in them they would not have
been held back until it is to late to nswer
them. Let every voter therefore be on his
guard against all attacks which may be
made upon candidates to-day.
1t is common trick with Democracy
to try and stem the tide going against it
by issuing either on election day or during
the closing days of the campaign state
ments affecting Republican candidates
which they have no opportunity to re-
fute. We had disastrous experience of
those tactics in the notorious Morey letter
which was circulated through the State
to defeat Garfield. Such trick having
been played upon US ones it will be the
fault OF ourselves it we permit similar
trick to obtain success this time.
Vote for Mckinley and Hobart. Vote
for Republican Congressman. Vote for
Republican Legislators. Vote for Colonel
Taylor and the Republican municipal
ticket. Pay no attention to any stories
that may be circulated about them by the
fusion managers. There will be canards,
there will be circulars containing false re-
ports, there will be resort made to every
trick which falseness can conceive and i'm
pudence utter to defeat Republican candi-
dates. Refute them on the streets. Re-
buke them at the polls. Vote straight
ticket for National prosperity and good
m unicipal government.

have heard men say that with free
silver they could sell their property at
increased price and pay off their mort
gage with the money. Is that honest?
No man nor nation can afford to be dis
honest. Every nation that has done SO
has suffered. Whenever you take from
man the hatred of what is wrong you
make him SO low that he pulls down
with him all who associate with him.
