has aroused exceptional enthusiasm
which distinguished the: speaking at
Santa Barbara. Ventura, San .Bernar-
dino, San Diego and Santa Ana are
seldom witnessed in other than a Pres
idential campaign. The multitudes
which assemble to hear the standard
bearer. and the eloquent exponent of.
Republican principles bring with them
Democrats, Populists and so-called Sill
yer Republicans.
Throughout Riverside and Orange
counties the people are aroused to the
dangers of MAGNETISM and apprehend
that the election of the. fusion ticket
with Mcguire at the head would bring
disaster to the State, In comparison
with which another dry season would
be but an incident. The fruit growers
and others of the industrial population
in the Santa Ana Valley are looking
forward with confidence to a period of
great prosperity. Already many mort
cages have been lifted as the result Of
toll and economy, and inquiries con-
corning the investment of capital for
the future development of the great
resources of this region impart conf
dence. Men who have worked hard
to upbuild the State shudder at the
suggestion of a Mcguire triumph and
the introduction of socialistic and sin
gle tax decisions ia the affairs of Cali
fornia. The earnestness of the people
is manifested at every great demon-
'Stration.
1t is readily observed that Gage is
growing rapidly in popularity. People
hearing Him talk are convinced of his
sincerity. Any man who is sincere can
get good hearing in these intelligent
and progressive cities of Southern Cali
fornia.
Another strong point in Cages favor
is that he has never fattened at the
public crib. He never held a politi-
cal office and never sought to hold one;
he never drew dollar from the public
treasury. Industrious men who till the
orchard, run the farms and pay the
taxes necessary for the administration
of government view with .distrust the
type of politician known as the
chronic office seeker who lives on the
public and is never happy when he is
not drawing fat salary from the pub
Lie treasury. Gage comes from. the
people, and comes free from the faint
of persistent Office holding.
The reception accorded to Henry. T.
Gage, w. H. l.. Barnes and J. G.. Need
ham, the Congressional nominee, to-
day and tonight, attest the enthusiasm
of the people of Riverside County.
Coming from the scene of a great out
pouring at Santa Ana, the standard
bearer and General Barnes arrived
shortly before noon at Riverside. At
the railway station they were received
by a delegation of leading citizens
headed by c. f. Huse, chairman of the
Republican County Central Committee,
and escorted to the Glenwood Tavern.
Gage is still among his friends and
neighbors and soon many of them came
duction- to General Barnes is seldom
necessary. If he does not know every
one, every one knows him.
The general is an alert observer and
picks up vast deal of information on
his travels. He alights on many a fact
and incident which one not gifted with
rare power of discernment might pass
unnoticed. To-day he was the first in
the party to discover that Riverside is
a prohibition city,
Early in the evening a train from
San Bernardino arrived bringing two
hundred active Republicans. Other
specials and the regular trains rein
forced the local ranks. AS the hour of
o'clock drew near the people wendell
their way to the Loring Opera house.
Shortly after the doors We're thrown
open the spacious house was crowded
All the seats on the stage, the boxes
and the circles were occupied The
standing room was appropriated with.
out delay On the street in front of the
Loring the Riverside City band played
patriotic and popular music. The en-
thusiasm .deepened as the throng in
creased. The people came from Cotton,
Redlands, Ontario, Perris, San Jacinto,
Elsinore, Corona and the country pre-
cincts Immediately surrounding River
side.
When Henry T. Cage. accompanied
by General Barnes, ]. c. Needham, l.
N. Blackstock, the nominee for Rail-
way Commissioner, and Major Kyle
took their places on the stage the audi
ence gave three hearty cheers.
The meeting was called to order by
G. F. Huse, chairman of the county
committee. The first feature of the ex-
ercises was song by the Republican
Silver-Tongued Quartet of colored
boys. The song, Good Evening, Mr..
Are Living and Quite Well?" made a
decided hit and the singers-Fred
White, VIII Blanton, Tom Wilson and
Peter Polk-were recalled. They sang

refrain, Send Those Angels Down.
