imitating-I could even cite them to show the
folly OF their proposition, but prefer to con-
tinue citation of the history of the United
States, which is good enough for me.
why" they say, don't you recognize the
great law of supply and demand? When there
is demand how can prices help going up?"
Temporarily. yes. But there is another great
law OF demand and supply which is more i'm
perious still, and that is that whenever. there
is big demand there is always a big supply
following that and that the big supply is al
ways sold at less profit.
am going to say one word more. Gentle
men OF the West, see By your attitude, by
this great audience and by everything / have
heard since I came here that you are going to
allow US In the East to agree with you on the
subject of finance. If there is any superiority
of common-sense you have it in the West
rather than the East That it is not because
you are the better men: it is because you are
in close contact with the development with
this country and you are obliged to be more
sensible, and you are fighting the enemy hand
to hand.
don't pretend TO be q prophet; can only
judge the future by the past. Mr.. Mckinley is
going to represent you. Let him be elected by
good healthy majority in good splendid
Californian way.
In addition to the afternoon parade and
gathering, another great Republican
meeting assembled this evening az
Hazards Pavilion. This large hall was
crowded In every nook, corner and Granny.
There were no less than 1000 people at the
meeting. The speakers were Mr.. Reed
and Hon. Thomas Fitch, the "silyer-
tongued orator." The Maine statesman's s
time was limited, so he spoke only few
minutes, recounting his astonishment at
seeing the tremendous crowd of the after
noon and the general enthusiasm, which
he pronounces beyond anything he ever
witnessed. This, the speaker said, could
mean but one thing. and that was that
California would go for Mckinley and
Hobart by a stupendous majority.
Speaker Reed said in a conversation this
evening that the throng of the afternoon
at Athletic Park was the largest he ever
attempted to address in his life.
This has great significance when it is
remem bered that Mr.. Reed has been in
public life for thirty years and made hun
dreds of speeches, many of them of his
toric and international interest. The dis
tinguished guest left for the north on the
regular San Francisco train at 9 p NJ, amid
a SuoWeI VI piduulLS anu the DeSI WlSu6S Oi
thousands of Southern Callfornians.
Mr.. Reed and party were accompanied
north by the San Francisco reception COM
mittee. Mr.. Reed is billed to speak at
Stockton tomorrow evening.
Following Reeds address at the pavil-
ion came one of Fitch's soul-stirring
speeches. Hespoke for more than an hour
on the Issues of the campaign, showing in
true Tom Fitch style the fallacies and va
garies of the Bryanites. 1t was terrific
arraignment of the calamity howIing ele-
ment in society--of the Tillmans, the Alt
gelds and the Gators.

AWFUL TRIPLE MURDER
Mrs. Jessie Winner and Two
Babies Are Most Bru!aily
Butchered.
The Woman's Skull Battered AMI the
Throats of the Children Are
Cut.

RICHMOND, Mo, Oct. 27.-The COM
munity is shocked by the discovery 10
day of frightful triple murder. Inc
perpetrator of the crime is still at large
and his identity is concealed, but indlg-
nant neighbors have their suspicious and
it will not be long before the triple MUIR
derer is caught.
The murd erous acts were committed
some time last night. Mrs. Jessie Win
per, respectable hard-w orking woman,
and her two babies, aged two ana one
years, were killed. The woman's skull
was battered in and the top of her head
cut off. She had apparently made fight
for her life and had been beaten down by
the murderer. The throats of the two
little children were cut and they lay in a
pool Of blood.
A pathetic feature of the murder was
the presence of little deaf and dumb
child OF Mrs. Winner by another mar
riage. The little one is unable to tell any,
thing about the crime. 1t has not been
educated at all and is not able to write
and can barely tell what its simplest
wants are.
So far the citizens have not been able to
discover any definite cew to the MUIR
derer. He very carefully left no traces be-
hind him. One thing is settled. however,
and that is the fact that the murders were
not committed for the purpose of robbery.
There is every indication that revenge
was the motive for the crime.
The nearest neigh bors heard no signs OF
the struggle which must have occurred
when the woman was killed. She always
was very quiet little woman and never
meddled with any one else or received
many callers. She had quite a number Of
friends in the neighborhood.
The peculiar atrocity of the crime has
made the people here very angry, and
there is strong talk of lynching the MUIR
derer when he is caught.

There Is let Mystery Connected With
the Death of Andrws

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 27.-But little
has been done in the way of clearing up
the mystery surrounding the death of II.
J. Andrus of Yonkers on Wednesday last.
Coroner Mills continues to say that he has
some information as to the persons con-
nected with what he believes to have been
a murder, but the Coroner and police are
in accord neither in theory nor in action.
So far as can lie learned the only step
taken in regard to the Andrus affair was
an examination of the safe deposit vault
of the Yonkers National Bank, in which
the will of the dead man was supposed to
have been placed. This examination
showed that there was no will in the
vadlt nor anything else of any i'm portance.
The family say that the will may be in
one of the safes of the Office of the Airing
ton Chemical Company, of which Andrus
was secretary. and the safes will be opened
to-day. The inquest was to have been
held yesterday. but it was postponed until
more definite information can be secured
by the authorities

PRIDE OF PASADENA.
The Americus Uniformed Club Pro-
nounced California's Best Cam
paign Organization.


PASADENA, CAL, Oct. 27.-The Ameri-
Gus Club of this city, which was prom
inc MT in the parade at Los Angeles to-day,
is said by Senator Perkins and others
equally good judges to be the crack cam
paign club of the State. The club was
organized on August with a member
ship of forty-fve young men, and the list
kept climbing IN numbers until grand
total of $50 uniformed members has been
reached. Even the most sanguine of its
organizers did not at first expect more
than loo marchers, considering the fact
that Pasadena has but 1880 voters, and the
number of Young men is exceptionally
few in proportion to the size of the town.
Were the list still open for new mem bers
it is probable that the club would have
total of 300 or 400 men.
After the club was fairly started two
nights a week were spent in drilling
under the efficient supervision OF
Captain N. s. Bangham of the
National Guard of California, and each
member entered into the work with spirit
and zest that made it but natural that the
club should acquire such degree of skill
and reputation as entities 1t to be consid-
cred the best drilled and most attractive
looking organization in the State.
One important fact In regard to this
club is that it's memb are of the very
best class. the greater portion of them be-
ing first voters. Some at the beginning of
the campaign were out-and-out Bryan
men.
The club uniform includes white duck
coat trimmed with yellow braid, whi.e
trousers, white cap and yellow leggins,
the effect of which is very striking. Each
member carries a small silk flag on
white staff surmounted by gold knob
and small lamp with red and blue glass
Sides The club has its own fife, drum and
bugle corps of nine members and drum
major.
The officers of the club are: Major N, S.
Bahgham; staff = Adjutant Edwin
Stearns; surgeon, J. w. Wood; quarter
master. w. e. Arthur; commissary. HI.
NJ. Dobbns; ordnance officer. John Nc.
Donald; Judge advocate, John G. Rossi-
ter; aids &c. A. Gibbs, w. E. Chapin;
Company A, Captain James H. Cambell
Company B.. Captain w. L. Lippincott;
Com pany c, Captain F. J. Coleman.
Edwin Stearns is president of the or

NEEDS OF THE NATION.
Speaker Reeds appeal for an
Honest Currency and Proteo-
tiOn to Industries

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 27.-No man
could estimate the thousands who
thronged into Athletic Park 10 hear Mr..
Reeds speech. A number Of newspaper
men who have seen and estimated vast
standing multitudes pronounced this one
the largest they ever saw. None of them
placed the figures below 10000, while some
said $4,000. OF course, but a modicum of
these could hear the speaker, and this con-
stituted the greatest and saddest .disap-
pointment of the day. Many thousands
left the GROUNDS when they realized that
not one word could be understood at their
distance from the speaker. The grand
stand and bleachers were crowded by ladies
who could not catch single word, partly
owing to brisk west wind, which blew all
the afternoon.
When Mr.. Reed entered great cheer
went up and thousands of people waved
flags On the speakers stand were men,
bers of the Supreme Court, Hon. Thomas
Fitch. Congressman ]. F. Aldricn and wife
of Chicago, Miss Reed, Ex-Governor Pa
cheeo and other prominent citizens.
George Stewart, president of the Busi-
ness Mems Sound Money Club, called the
vast throng to order and briefly introduced
Hon. James McLachlan, who, he said,
had been in Congress with Mr.. Reed, and
whom the people were going to send back
TO Congress. Mr.. McLachlan said the
people had turned out not to hear him,
but to hear one of the greatest men in the
United States, who had come across the
continent for the express purpose of speak
ing to the people of the coast. He then
introduced Mr.. Reed. The cheering as
Reed arose lasted for fully five minutes.
Speaker Reed said in part:
For the first time In my life find myself
facing multitude so great that it seems to
me an absolute hopeless task to attempt to
reach one-half of them. Your presence here
to-day is q much greater speech than can
make. 1t shows your determination. 1t shows
that the cause of righteousness has found a
foothold on the Pacific Coast.
California, alone and of itself, IS a great en-
pire. told the people of New York eight
years ago that If their State were three times
embroidered on the map of California you
could then put Pennsyl vania there also, and
then have room for other States. But great

still in its resources, in its natural wealth-a
wealth of almost uncounted millions. Never

Woman Is Resrarded.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Oct. 27.-All
things come to those who wait, and such
was the experience of Mrs. Bernard Har-
kins, 1922 Woodlawn avenue, last night.
1t has been Mrs. Harkins' custom every
night for the last ten years before retiring
TO look under the bed. Last night she
looked under the same as usual, and
uttered scream of fright, for the soles OF
a mans shoes were clearly 10 be seen. He
was there, for sure, and her ten years of
waiting were patiently rewarded.
Mrs. Harkins' screams brought her hus-
band and he pulled the would be house
breaker from under the bed. Mrs. Har-
kins yelled Police" and her husband
held the burglar until the police arrived.
The captured man proved to be Elmer
Elmerdine, a burglar who has long rec
ord in criminal annals.

ing power.
What does the borrowing power depend on?
1t depends on the confidence and honesty of
the people at large dishonest community
cannot borrow money. 1t is not every man
who has money who will lend it, n notwithstand-
ing the statements Of some people to the con-
trary.
Now, let us put that to plain test Suppose
there were in this audience some gentlemen
who have $10-probably several thousand.
Now, want 10 ask each one of these gen.
tlemen: If man came to you and told you
he wanted to borrow that $40 and said frankly
he was only going to pay you SO back, would
you let MIN have the money, or would you let
1t lie idle? But suppose you thought you
would like to make a good turn there, what
would you do? The first thing would be to get
so per cent for risk, and then you would want
about 10 per cent more for incidentals and you
would give him $4 and take his note for $40.
AS matter of fact, OF course, you would not
leno it.
Now, IL you will not loan man $40, do you
suppose any man with 300 has any less sense
than you have? Don't you SUPPOSE that for
eigner knows as much about that as you do?
Here is plain question: Here is great
country, rich, but not with 10 per cent OF the
riches absolutely necessary to develop the re-
sources in sight, but undeveloped; here is q
but wants the money of everybody else on the
face OF the earth, and we propose to borrow
money OF the people of this country and bor-
row the money of people of other countries,
with the distinct understanding that we will
borrow il upon a gold basis, ano if we can
possibly do it, will repay it on a silver basis.
Do you think we can get it? If we won't get it
are we not acting like lot of foolish persons?
Our business prosperity Is depending on our
action, and here we are dallying with this
question. We are not going to daily with it in
the East, are you here?
Can you conceive any advantage that 1t
would be to you as community to have a
barrel OF -four worth $5 in our present money
become worth $40 in money only hall as valu-
able! Oh, but you say that 1--WE believe that
silver will appreciate and become just like
gold" wish to remark ii that is so the poor
farmer whose debts are going TO be paid is 60
ing to be lost somewhere in this shuttle. But
| leave him to take care of himself and say in
response to the statement of these gentlemen
who "believe'' that the facts OF human history
are against their belief. Why, could even
cite China and japan and that republic of
Mexico, which some seem to think deserves
