GIANTS OF BATTLE
WHITE AND Afford TALK TO AN
r1rrENsH THRoNo
Great Rally Of the Campaign and Hum
dreds Are Turned Away Unable
to Gain Admission

SAN BERNARDlNO, Oct. 22.-The com.
ing Of Senator Stephen M. White, Hon. w.
Il. Afford and Hon. I. o. Toand last night
brought out q crowd that packed every aVail-
able spot in the opera house, and hundreds
went away, unable to gain even standing
place inside the doors. There was no free
concert attachment for a side slow, but the
speakers and the Righteousness of their
cause. Hon. j. H. Boyd called the assen-
blage to order and introduced II. w. Nisbet
as the presiding officer. j. II. Parker read
a list of vice presidents, and the meeting was
opened for business.
Hon. I. o. Toland was the first speaker,
and he made some telling hits in his re-
marks that were confined solely to the duties
OF the board OF equalization, showing it's good
points, and showing where it has been re.
creant to it's trust, under the railroad domi-
nation. The state had been gerrymandered
until the Republican party managed to keep
control of the board through its manipula-
tion of the district lines.
Hon. w. II. Afford was the next speaker,
He reviewed the incidents that lead up to
the nomination of Gage by the railroad
party, which picked him out Of all the candi-
dates as their man." Now they are trying
to place "their man" in the gubernatorial
chair of the state. He referred to the fact
that the Gall published in advance of the
first ballot the entire Republican ticket just
as it came off the slate arranged by the rail
roads. The speaker showed up the Repub-
lican nominee, Charles +. Curry, for secre-
est man on the Republican ticket in this
section), showing how he had "misappro-
priated" $2l5OOO during his late term Of Of
flee in San Francisco. The selection of .
senator by Republican legislature, said the
speaker, meant sending Mike De Young to
the halls of congress. The Republican
orators OF this campaign are as much afraid
afraid of the truth THE Republican
party asks you to vote to sustain the presi-
dent, and the war with Spain when the war
is over; asks you to read the history of
Abraham Lincoln and vote for Henry I.
Gage, while the union forces of California
ask you to read the history of James u. Ma
guire and then vote fer James G. Mcguire
for governor" With a glowing tribute to
the soldiers and sailors he closed.
Senator White was the next and final
speaker Of the evening, and in his usual con-
cise.and positive style he turned the calcium
of truth upon a host of matters, from the
shipping of frosted oranges from Riverside
to the conduct of the war; the imposing Of
the war revenue tax, which placed the great,
est burden on the poor. The senator laid
the single-tax bugaboo on the shelf, and
- y
sive appeal to the voters to cast their ballots
for James G. Mcguire, because of his record,
because of his experience in public life and
the principles he advocates, and not for
Henry T. Gage, who has had no experience.
and whose record is not one to give the peo-
pie OF the state confidence in him. The
speaker wound up with peroration that
fairly electrified the audience, closing one Of
the most successful meetings of the cam
paign in San Bernardino.

as there is another move on foot to this end
for Monday evening, the outcome OF that

fcient the surplus will be retained to assist
