For RepubIicanism
and Patriotism.
GEORGE KNIGHT TO THE FORE
STRIKES THE KEYNOTE OF THE
CAMPAIGN.
"Vote Your Ticket Straight and You
Will Be ALI Right"-Judge
Murphy Incinerates
Yellow Journal.

One of the most successful minor Re-
publican meetings of the campaign was
that of the Forty-second and Forty-third
districts held at B'nai Birth Hall last
night, Colonel G. l.. Taylor presiding.
The Waterman Sisters, the -. NJ.
Trout" quartet, composed of ladies, and
a brass band furnished the music, while
there was enthusiasm and oratory to
spare.
George A. Knight, the Republican ora
tor, surprised and delighted the audience
by dropping in and delivering a few
broadsides of logic with ferVor that
raised his hearers from their seats and
reused to a great height the spirit of
patriotism and Republicanism. During
the course of his remarks he dwelt upon
the duty of Republicans to see that Calf
fornia should not do shame to itself by
falling to send solid Republican dele
cation to Congress. No one could give a
valid reason why the State should not
Loyalty support the administration of
President Mckinley, and what was more
important, there was not man on the
ticket who would not be an honor and
credit to the State in the halls Of Con-
gress.
March on to victory to the music of
right and reason, protection and pros
perity," said Mr.. knight. The RepubH-
can party has done more for civilization
and the rights of man than any other or
ganization in the world, and it is only just
that it should receive your fullest and
most earnest support. Be true to your
selves and the traditions of your great
party. Vote your ticket straight and you
will be all right"
Colonel c. l.. Taylor, in a short speech,
called attention to the unwarranted at
tacks that are being made upon Henry
7. Gage, in which he is charged with
being "a railroad tool
Mr.. Cages first public speech" said
Mr.. Taylor, was against the railroad,
and he has never been anything but the
opponent of that institution. These
charges against him 1 believe to be as
false as hi. 1t is an endeavor TO pull
man down by false witness. They say he
keeps his hands in his pockets. Well. if
more citizens kept their hands in their
own pockets there would be fewer of them
In iafl Charles l.. Patton is an honorable,
capable man, who does not demand the
control of a Board of Supervisors or find
1t necessary to colonize the wards of the
city TO carry out his purposes. If he is
elected there will be no experiments, no
netting. of the peoples money
Hon. D. K. Mckinlay made short and
interesting address. in which he impressed
upon the voters the fact that Republi-
can administration had lifted the coun-
try out of the slough of despond into
which 1t had been dragged by the Democ-
racy, and showed them that 1t was their
duty to stand by the administration. 1t
would be the EXTREMIST folly and injus-
tice to place the reins Of government in
other hands at this time Every Repub-
Hcan should make it his business to as
sist in the election of Republican Con-
gressmen and legislators. IT would be
the duty of the latter to elect a Repub-
lican Senator to succeed Stephen NJ.
White, and of the former to fight for pro-
lection and prosperity.
julius Kahn, candidate for Congress in
the Fourth District, was enthusiastically
called to the rostrum and spoke for a
moment only. He said that California
had much to ask of Congress and Repub-
lican Congressman were needed TO secure
these things. The party, he believed,
would do it's duty in this campaign, and if
it did the result would show that Cali
fornia stands for progress, prosperity and
advancement.
Ex-Judge D. J. Murphy. in the course
of somewhat extended speech, called at
tention to the merits of the Republican
municipal platform, and stated that there
was not man on the ticket whose hon
esty or integrity had been attacked or
impeached.
Inc evening paper ltldI mas ny CdTlCd-
ture insulted Mr.. Patton and his friends
has never dared presume to say that he
! is not an honest, true man. The Bulletin
is trying to defeat every Republican
| who is candidate for q patronage office.
| Wherever there is patronage to be gained
the Bulletin is supporting the Democracy
in order that it may be entirely controlled
| by Phelan and his appointed candidates.
| The Bulletin is not a representative of
! the Republican party, and its acts prove
the fact
| Attorney General Fitzgerald spoke of
the sterling qualities of the Republican
! candidates, and called attention TO the
| fact that the Democrats had opposed the
| new charter. 1t was carried by Republi-
| cans, and that party was pledged to Sc
| cure it's adoption in the Legislature If its
| candidates were elected. He also referred
! to that portion of the platform which
calls for the eventual ownership Of pub
| lie utilities, such as gas, water and cleo
trio light plants and streetcars.
Hon. c. L. Patton arrived at the last
moment and simply referred to his can
didacy for Mayor, his attitude on the
other questions involved in the platform
| promised a clean business administration
and said good night
