BOSTON. Nov. 3.-''When we have told
all we know to support the charge we

This statement, the Herald will say to-

his home in Medford Saturday from New

Burns Methods in Vogue.
The old dodge of sending money to

and water front saloons has again been
resorted to. This is Colonel Burns favor
lite method of electioneering. He tried II

nothing from the disaster which overlook
him in San Francisco. The Republicans
carried the State outside the city for Es-
tee by 12,000 majority, but owing to Burns
votes and to Boss Kelly's knife Estee
was defeated. Dibble is the best politician
in the whole bunch behind Wells. Sam
Rainey is back number. He stands out
on the duty of voters to be guided by
lofty sentiments of civic patriotism and
to vote for Wells. Business men can take
their choice in this campaign. They can
follow the advice of E. B. Pond, Thomas
Magee and George X. Fitch and vote for
Tobin, or they can accept the advice of
Sam Rainey, Dan Burns and Dibble and
vote for Wells.

Acting Governor of Hawaii Appeals

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Authority for

United States and for the immigration OF
a limited number of Chinese laborers, con-
ditioned upon their engaging in agricultu-

own country upon ceasing to be farmers,
are the recommendations of H. E. Cooper,

report.
Other recommendations are for the
maintenance of an expert forester on the
islands to investigate and report on forest
conditions and forestry conservation and
extension; the detail of a special agent
of the Fish Commission at Honolulu and
the adoption of restrictive measures to
prevent wanton destruction of the food
fishes of the Territory; the granting of Ii

the erection of a Federal building in Hon

customs receipts of a sufficient sum to pay
judgments of the Commission of Fire
Claims; the gathering of statistics to
show the shipments between the mainland
and the islands, and the appointment Of
Deputy Secretary to act during the dis
ability of the Secretary of the Treasury

Political Barbecue at
Glen Park Proves to
Be a VeritabIe Frost
Orators Work Off Their
Speeches on Crowd at
a BuIIShead Breakfast

k-A HE Republicans held their last
rally or the campaign yesterday
afternoon at Glen Park. 1t was
n free barbecue. 1t was under the
auspices Of the Young Mems Re-
publican Club. 1t was attended BY
a select gathering of orators and
the walters hired to dish out the gratuit-
Gus refreshments.
Glen Park has seen few quteter days
during the summer months.
The orators, led by Attorney Thomas r.
Riordan, made an early start in search OF
the demonstration. For several hours the
residents of Sunnyside were pestered with
inquiries as to the whereabouts of the Re-
publican rally. The park was thoroughly
searched and the inhabitants Of that dis
trict closely questioned, but not a trace
of the demons CTaI1on could be found until
a policeman informed the Searchers that
he had seen some kind of free lunch
counter waiting for business in certain
part of the park.
The Herrinites finally located the Re
publican rally. The search had made them
'iWen, we can eat. anyhow" remarked

And Sunnyside went. Fred Raabe made
arrangements to relieve the orators OF
their speeches, while ]. z. Sdnkey sliced
some bulls tongue for the Republican
search party.
They all had breakfast.
The orators got rid of their speeches.
The representatives of the Republican
ticket had their rally around the hOspita-

has been injected into the campaign by
assertions oI a physician and others that

being robbed that Tobin might be paid

At a Tobin meeting at McGrath's Hall,
$50 Third street. Saturday night, Colonel
r. F. Barry, who was the first speaker,
said that he was there to answer any
questions that might be put to him. A
man in the audience arose and said:
II want to ask you how much salary
Mr. Tobin receives as attorney for the
Hibernia Bank?"
Colonel Barry started to reply when
Tobin jumped to his feet, pushed Barry
to one side and facing the audience said
Il will answer that man. My salary is
lest per month than my opponent on the
Union Labor ticket got for the job he did
for the Risdon Iron Works last June"
