 While there was great enthusiasm for Gage the people of Butte also gave to Senator Perkins an old-fashioned welcome. The Senator lived in this county for twenty years and knew every man, woman and child in the re- zion. All the afternoon he was sur rounded by old timers, who were happy to recall the experiences of early days The farmers, miners and stockmen of Butte recognized in Henry T. Gage an everyday man of the people. They came forward of their own motion to grasp his hand and assure him that he would be the next Governor of Cali fornia. Monopoly in office holding is resisted by the honest people Of Butte County. They prefer man who has not held office to one who has been hunting and holding office for twenty years.
 Delegations began to arrive in Oro- vile early in the evening from the ranches, orchards and mines of this re- nowned region. Republicans from Gridley, 100 strong, headed by their band, joined in the demonstration.

Henry T. Gage and George c. Perkins joined the column.
