dredS to the Parade.
BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 25.-The Re-
publicans of Berkeley are highly enthu-
siastic over the grand parade of McKin-
leyites to be held next Saturday afternoon
in San Francisco. A large number of the
leading local representatives. of the party
were interviewed to-day with the aim of
obtaining their views as to what the great
demonstration would mean 10 Repub-
icans, and they agreed to man that it
will be fitting climax to a well-fought t
campaign. Professors, private citizens,
local business men and students are of one
voice in their support of the place for the
monster parade of Republicans from
around the bay, and the indications are
very favorable that delegation of no less
than 400 will turn out from Berkeley
alone, The Mckinley League, the East
Berkeley Republican Club, the West
Berkeley Republican Club, the Lorin Re-
publican Club and the Students Republi-
can Club will hold meetings during the
week to take formal action in the matter
of sending delegations. The Berkeley
Republican Club will meet tomorrow
evening to discuss the matter.
Joseph McCiain, president of the Nc
kinley League, sale tonight:
''WniIe l do not speak for the club, as
that organization will take formal action
of its own, can say that as an individual
l am willing to close my place OF business
and take an active part in the demonstra-
ton. believe that all the business men
of Berkeley who are Republicans should
be willing to do likewise"
William Lair Hill, president of the
Berkeley Republican CIub-Every thing
that will tend TO advance the cause of
McKinleyism should be continued to be
done until the very last hour of the cam
paign. The proposed demonstration will,
without a doubt, be conducive OF much
good. The question of sending delega-
ton will be formally brought to the at
tention of our league in day or so. feel
quite certain that they will support the
movement.
Howard E. Wright Republican nomi-
nee for Assem- blyman-I believe that a
movement of the kind proposed will be
productive of great good. 1t Will tend to
induce the men on the fence to clim b
down on the side OF Republicanism.
intend taking an active part myself, and
will induce as many Others TO do so as
posi- BILE.
Joseph L. Scotchler, chairman of the
County Central Com mittee in 1851 am
in favor of doing everything possible 10
keep the people in line until November 3.
We have big lot of good Repu bllcans in
Berkeley, and / am confident that many
Will turn out on Saturday. Of the 2000
voters in Berkeley l believe that at least
1900 will cast the Republican ticket next
month.
James Palache-If / were physically
able, which unfortunately / am not, 1t
would be my greatest desire to fall into
line and march with the rest of the loyal
Republicans. l do not wish to see the
matter OF big celebration attempted and
result in a failure, but / feel quite certain
that the proposed demonstration for
Saturday afternoon will meet with the
greatest success.
F. N. Wilson, am heartily in favor of
he idea OF giving big celebration just
before election. l will be there and do
what can to make it q success.
Robert Edgar-Such turnout of Repub-
licans as is proposed can be nothing else
but beneficial to the party. 1t will serve
as fitting climax TO the long and hard
fought campaign.
Colonel Ayers = Every Republican in
Berkeley should lay aside his business for
that afternoon and join in the big ceie-
bration in San Francisco. That McKin-
ley will be our next President there is no
doubt. but getting into good humor before
election day will do US no harm.
J. K. Steuart-We must all do every
thing we can to make the San Francisco
CClCOIdllOu q SuCCCSSs ali tAc p4UliCdll
clubs about the bay should be repre-
sented.
Captain MoIrison-The work for McKin-
ley should be kept up till the very last
the grandest celebration of the campaign
should be held just before election day, and
next Saturday afternoon seems to be the
most fitting time for this.
I'll. d. Kelsey-The idea is a good one.
1t is not that we need to have such cele-
bration, but it will be well for us TO gat
into line together at least once before cleo
tion for the satisfaction of seeing what an
army we can turn out, if for nothing more.
George L. Stricker-The parade will be
a good thing. All Alameda County should
be represented. Berkeley is especially
strong in Republicanism this year.
