HORACE DAVIS TO PRESIDE
SEATS TO BE RESERVED FOR
LADIES AND THEIR ESCORTS.

The first meeting of the campaign I'M
der the auspices of the Republican State
Central Committee will take place at
Metropolitan Temple this evening. Hon.
Horace Davis will preside and General
w. II. L. Barnes address the audience.
The California quartet will sing patriotic
songs. Seats will be reserved for ladies
and their escorts. The indications are
that the vast hall will be packed to over
flowing, as General Barnes is an orator
of fine attachments and a speaker OF
great popularity. He was asked last
evening if he intended to pay his respects
to Judge Mcguire, the fusion candidate
for Governor. The general replied:
II shall reply to his utterances on
socialism, the referendum and the single
tax. 1 shall not attack Judge Mcguire
personally, but will show where he
stands and what kind of doctrines he
advocates. shall not mince words in at
lacking the principles which he repre-
sents in this campaign.
The meeting tonight will be different
in many respects from that of the fusion
gathering at Metropolitan Temple night
before last when Mcguire talked for three
hours on the defensive and sought by all
sorts of sophistry to explain his peculiar
notions concerning single tax and social
ism. The Republican speakers will be
interesting and instructive from the start
to the finish. General Barnes never
wearieS or disappointS an audience, and
there is reason to expect that his speech
tonight will equal the best of his. for
mer achievements on the platform. AS ne
is to speak in a cause which requires no
defense time will not be consumed in
apologies and explanations. The earnest
spirit with which the Republicans enter
the campaign will be exemplif1ed In the
