White at Pasadena

PASADENA, Nov. 7.-(Offce of The
Herald, l6 Colorado street, Telephone Red
675). The Tabernacle was packed to the
doors tonight, with large number of people
standing, to hear Senator Stephen M. White
on the campaign. 1t was noticeable that
there were large number of ladies present,
and the audience was a most intelligent and
discriminating one. The chairman, C. F.
Harris, made speech and Senator White
lost no time in getting into his subject.
Senator White said in opening that he
had been acquainted with both of the can
didates for the Office of governor for many
years and he had great admiration and
respect for both of them. He had been
associated with the Republican candidate
in the practice of his profession and had
known and admired Mr.. Mcguire from the
time he was serving as blacksmith's ap-
prentice-"an occupation many of us had
perhaps better be employed in than in seek
ing for office"-the speaker added. That
Mr.. Mcguire discharged his duties well and
faithfully is admitted by the fercest of his
opponents-whether he was serving at his

that is perhaps sufficient" said he. But
the veterans wanted to hear a speech, and

he tried to please them.
The language did not flow freely and was
totally devoid if oratorical pretensions.
Gradually, however, the speaker swung
around to an appreciative recognition of the
goodwill of the old soldiers, whose ode

torial expansion he indorsed as embodied in
the policy of the party. The veterans want
ed to applaud, but it was hard to find
suitable place, owing to the dull delivery of
hackneyed platitudes; but they knew Henry
was not much as a campaigner and so they
let him go with the final utterance that the
majority of the people of California had
pierced the fallacies beneath the fusion ar
rangement and that the single tax idea
and anarchy would never get foothold on
the soil of California.

THE LAST MEETING
The Wigwam and Surrounding Coun-
try Crowded With Voters

The largest meeting held by any party in
the city of Los Angeles during the present
state and county campaign was held by the
! union party at the Mcguire wigwam last
night.
| 1t was not gathering of the people, but,
| in the true sense of the term, an outpouring
of the voters who desired to show by their
presence and their voices, raised in COM
mendation and applause scores of times,
their sympathy and support of the great
movement of the people, headed by Ma
guire, against monopoly.
The big tent, seating 1000 people, over
flowed long before the meeting was called
| to order, and the side curtains were lifted
in order to let hundreds of people who
stood outside the canvas see and hear.
Then, the aisles filled up, then the hill
| side back, and finally there was not an inch
Of standing room vacant within the sound
Of the speakers voices.
1t was an attentive audience who had
come to hear the close of the great campaign
that has SO successfully been waged- by the
union parties in behalf of the people and
against the Southern Pacific railroad.
Frank James called the meeting to order
without delay He promised those in at
tendance full and fair discussion of the
issues of the campaign and introduced as
the first speaker Judge Noonan Phillips.
JUDGE PHILLIPS TALKS
"I'm in hurry tonight" said the cand-
date for state senator from the Thirty-sixth
senatorial districts because there is meet

all know the issue. 1t is useless for me to
go over it. When you go into the voting
booth tomorrow say to yourself, Shall

monopoly? That is all there is to it, and,
fellow citizens, beg of you, when you vote
tomorrow to let the railroad go. Vote for

yourselves"

SENATOR WHITES ADDRESS
CAGES WELCOME HOME
A Flying Trip to the Soldiers Home.
Special Pleaders at Hand

Yesterday was Henry L. Cages busy day.
He arrived in the city by train from the
north at 1880 a. M, put in the time till 10
o'clock at his office, reading the letters
which awaited his return, and then for two
hours shook hands with his friends at the
Columbia club. After lunching at res
taurant he climbed on a Santa Monica car,
ran cut to the Soldiers home, spoke to the
veterans there, and got back for dinner with
his family. At 8 o'clock he spoke to the
veterans of the Army and Navy Republican
league at Elks' hall, and afterwards was ten
dered reception at the California club.
On arriving at the Arcade depot le wa;
welcomed by a delegation of friends. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Gage and their
little daughter.
After lunch Mr.. Gage, in company with
r. j. Waters, Ex-Governor Markham, Will
A. Harris, Frank p. Flint, Ex-Governor
Beveridge, James c. Rives and others,
boarded an electric car and left for the Sol
in Memorial hall meeting of veterans was
held, which was largely attended.
ARMY AND NAVY LEAGUE
Last evening Mr.. Gage was the guest of
honor at the headquarters of the Army and
Navy Republican league, Elks' hall. The
hall was well filled with members of the
league, and drum corps was in attendance.
COL c. F. Derby, the commander of the Los
Angeles league, presided, and introduced
Capt. w. H. Seamons, the chief commander
Of the organization.
While Capt. Seamans was speaking, the
Republican nominee for governor and his
party entered and the members of the
league gave three cheers for Gage and he
was invited to address the meeting.
He seemed willing, but somehow his la
bored oratory was distinctly weak He
gave little review of his tour of the state,
said he had observed great demonstrations

Diego, candidate for railroad commissioner.
He made clean, clear-cut presentation of
the railroad in politics and promised if
elected he would do his whole duty. "I
have the ability to do it," he said, "and
have the moral and physical courage to do
what l know is right"
DEL VALLES WELCOME
When Hon. r. f. del Vale was intro
reception. "This is the largest meeting Of
this campaign" he said, "and Pm glad of
it, for want to talk to you tonight about
our common enemy, an enemy that has
grown bold enough to defy us to put him
down. For twenty years the railroad has
been actively in politics, but never until
this year has it had the audacity, the ef-
frontery to come out into the open and fight
the people.
"This year there can be no mistake. The
S. P. railroad says it is in politics, is for
Gage and is against Mcguire, and it says
more, that it is going to elect Gage"
Del Vale then made an impassioned ap
peal to the people to defend their rights, be-
ing frequently interrupted by applause. He
paid tribute to Mcguire, to Barlow, to
Toland and to Senator White, and closed
with splendid review OF the campaign.
E. L. HUTCHINSON
The welcome given E. l.. Hutchinson when
he was introduced must certainly have been
gratifying. He made one of the most elo-
quent speeches of the evening.
'Watchman, what of the night? you
ask me, coming, as l do, from the central
scenes of the struggle. am surprised that
you ask it. If you could have been with
James G. Mcguire and myself for the past
ten days you wouldn't ask that question.
"What Of the night? I'll tell you," and
then Mr.. Hutchison reviewed the campaign
made by Mcguire and himself, telling of TIE
conditions everywhere. He scored the
Southern Pacific on the special train work
"That great paper, the Examiner, gave
Mcguire that train, yet the Southern Pacific
would not allow his name to be placed on
the outside of the car. They refused to
stop except at scheduled stations, but at
seven places the people blocked the track
in front Of the locomotives and the train
had to stop and let Mcguire speak.
"By jugglery of their trains the South
ern Pacific delayed the special four hours
on its homeward trip and Mcguire did not
get to the pavilion until midnight, but he
found even at that hour l0,OO0 people await
ing him.
'Watchman, what of the night? I'll
tell you. James G. Mcguire and the whole
union ticket will be elected" Hutchinson

sporting men as "big money" is being
wagered. Small bets Of every kind and
character were made all day, and descrip-
ton of the wagers would be to state every
situation existing or possibility of the elec-
tion today.
A tremendous influx of Gage money was
on the betting market yesterday morning.
and all sorts OF offers were made on the Gage
end Of it.
As good as two to one was offered in the
morning, but after about $500 of Mcguire
money had taken the odds they gradually
receded, first to 500 to $500, then 800 to $50,
and finally even money was about the best
to be had.
Betting has no bearing on the results, as
everyone knows" said well known sport
ing man. "All these places taking bets get
a percentage on the money placed. If they
get $1,000 on Gage and $500 on Mcguire,
they rake down commission on both. If
some Mcguire man comes along with $1,000
they at once hunt up Gage man, and again
drag down commission. In other words,
the betting, outside of individual bets, is
manipulated by the amateur bookmakers for
the percentage in it, and the more flies that
stick to their paper the more commission.
Bets cut no ice."
THE WORKERS
The union party has got its workers in fine
shape, and, in truth, they need to be to off
set the work arranged against the fusion
ticket today. As Senator White said last
night: "There is many man who will be a
man inside the voting booth that dare not
say what he thinks outside of it, because Of
the wife and babies" These men have fur
nished valuable information to the union
party, and more than one we'll planned job
will be overturned if attempted, and more
than one valuable worker" may find him
self deprived Of his liberty and pursuit of
coin" if he attempts to obey orders from his
bosses.
THE RETURNS
All the union party returns will be re-
ceved at the wigwam tonight, and those in
terested in the state and county election will
get all the reliable news available at that
place.
In this connection a correction in the list
of polling places is called to the attention of
voters. The polling place at the boat house
at Westlake park has been transferred to
Seventh and Alvarado streets.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR QUIGG
Frank l.. Warner Enters the Race

New York, Oct 10.-Frank Livingstone
Warner, an independent Republican. an
nounces that heI VIII run for Congress
teenth district. His friends declare that
he can neither be bought off nor remov-
ed from the field by threats or cajoiery.
He has opened headquarters at the cor
ner of ll6th Street and Eighth Avenue.
and has begun TO procure the signatures
necessary 10 entitle him to a place on
the ballot. His friends say that he has
~" already. and intends to get 1000 to
show his strength.
Mr.. Quigg had 1900 majority in the
district when he was reelected in 1896
the Mckinley year. His Democratic op-
ponent this year is William Astor Chan
Ter. Many things have occurred since
Mr.. Quigg first won the district from the
Democrats to lessen his popularity His
position at the head of the Republican
county committee has made him MANY
enemies in the organizati ton, and his feud
with Louis f. Payn has turned the
country leaders against him
Mr.. Quigg will be renominated next
w Wednesday night. unless he decides not
TO run. Many of his friends have ad-
of his poor health and the changed con-
ditions in the district. Some of them have
gone so far as to predict his defeat by
Mr.. Chanier. The presence of a third
candidate IN the field makes his chance
of success still less.
MIR. Warner also comes from the
Twenty-frst district, and one of his
strongest claims for support will be his
service in the war with Spain on board
the Yankee. He. is twenty-eight years
Old, and was born in Stamford, Conn
He received his education in Lisburn
County Antrim, Ireland, and in London
He returned to this country, and went
Into business until the outbreak of the
war, when he volunteered in the First
Battalion, Naval Reserves, and was as
signed to the Yankee.
He took part in the second lombard
ment of Santiago, and saw service at
Guantanamo. Cienfuegos. and Casilda
serving creditably as a coal passer. He
has always been a Republican but he
believes in freedom from dictation.
Mr.. Warner will issue an address to
the citizens of the Fourteenth congress
sional district. in which he will outline
his position. After a strong assault on
bosses, he will declare In favor OF
the retention of the Philippines, the
strengthening of the navy. the building
up of the merchant marine, protection
to labor and industry, antitrust laws
