BUSY DAY FOR DAVIS.
Democratic Candidate for Second
Place Makes Thirteen Speeches.


FAIRMONT, w. Va, Oct. 12.-Henry
@. Davis second day of campaigning
through Maryland and West Virginia
was more intense and satisfactory than
the first 1t also added to the reputa-
ton of Davis as a young old man"
He repeated his record of yesterday
with a dozen speeches, and added one
more for good measure. Despite the
rain, which followed the train during
the first half of the day, there was no
dampening Of enthusiasm or diminish
ing Of the crowds which greeted the
candidate.
AT Grafton and Clarksburg the day
seemed to be set apart as a holiday. In
Clarksburg an elaborate marching es-
cort and several hands were in waiting.
The party was conducted to the Court
house, and the speeches, which were
delivered from the portico of the Jail,
were listened to by a large audience.
An indication of the earnest side of
the campaign was the attendance of
miners, who had left their work tenn
porarily to hear the speakers. While
Davis is a serious talker, especially
when he touches on State issues, which
he has been emphasizing, his general
address and odd manner of abruptly
introducing himself, II suppose you
know / am Davis, who is flying
through, looking for friends and votes, -
has the fleet of placing his hearers at
ease after they have cheered the an
nouncement.
Senator Daniel declared that he is
having a more strenuous time in keep
ing up with Davis that he had in fol-
lowing Stonewall Jackson in a gray
jacket during the war. The train was
sidetracked at Fairmont for the night.

Senator Fairbanks Discusses
Tariff Policies and Currency
Republican Nominee for Vice President
Concludes His Tour Of IoWa-ROW
in the National Democratic Committee

DAVENPORT. Iowa, Oct 12.-With
a speech at Turner Opera-house to-
night Senator Fairbanks concluded his
tour of Iowa. He reached Davenport
this afternoon on the Rock Island Rail-
road, and after crossing the Mississip
pi River and speaking DIT Little Rock
he returned to Davenport for to-nights
meeting.
In addition to these two points he
spoke during the day at Des Moines,
Colfax, Newton, kellogg, Grinnell,
Brooklyn, Marengo. Iowa City, West
Liberty and Durant. The crowds at
the meeting tonight were large, but
the meetings of the day were not as
we'll attended as were those Of yester-
day. The longest stay to-day was made
at Iowa City, where the meeting was
attended by club of 200 students call
ing themselves ''Teddy's Hawkeyes." :"
To them. as to the students at Grinnell,
Senator Fairbanks addressed himself
especially, telling them that the Re
publican party stands for principles as
fixed and enduring as the stars"
A large part of the day was spent In
the Second Congressional District, the
only Democratic district in Iowa.
Both at Davenport and Brooklyn
Senator Fairbanks discussed imperial
ism. At Brooklyn he said:
Our Democratic friends have suggested from
time to time that there is danger Of i'm
perialism. They have got 1t into their heads
that the Republican party is inimical to the
republic; that the Republican party in some
way or other is going to subvert our repub-
lican institutions and build upon their ruins
imperialism. Did you hear Of a more
preposterous suggestion since the stars first
sang together?
The Republican party has been the loyal. in
tellgent supporter of republican institutions
from the time Abraham Lincoln took the oath
Of office In the national Capitol down to this
beautiful morning. 1t has been the steadfast
adherent of those policies which for the
upbuilding of our national strength and the
expansion of our glory everywhere
The speech at Rock Island was de-
voted to a defense Of the currency and
tariff policies Of the Republican party,
and the speech made here tonight was
along the same lines.

VOTERS GREET JULIUS KAHN.
Meeting in Forty-Ffrst District En-
thusiastic for Nominee.

Meeting in FOrty-EfrSt District En-
thusiastic for Nominee.
The Republicans of the Firty-first
Assembly District turned out in force
last night to give julius Kahn, the
Republican candidate for Congress
from the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, hearty welcome. The meeting
of the stalwarts took place in Steimke
Hall on Octavia street, near Union,
and the march of the candidate to the
hall was done to the music of bands
and in the glare of torches and red
fire. The Nathan C. Coghlan Club,
named after the Republican nominee
for Assemblyman from the Forty
first, was very much in evidence.
After julius Kahn entered the hall
and had been seated in the seat of
honor, Edward j. Pringle, chairman,
called for order and introduced the
first speaker, Nathan C. Coghlan.
In short speech Coghlan told Of his
thanks for his nomination to the AS
sembly and his appreciation of the
honor. He then dwelt briefly upon
the record of the Republican party
and called attention to the condition
of the laborer of ten years ago.
The Republican nominee for Supe-
rior Judge, Daniel w. Burchard, was
introduced and told briefly of condi-
tions in the Philippines and the un-
readiness Of the Filipinos for self
government. Senatorial Candidate
John H. Nelson preceded the chief
speaker of the evening, Julius Kahn.
Upon the presentation of the Con-
gressional candidate the hall shook
with applause. In his opening re-
marks Mr.. Kahn said that it was a
great privilege to be able to address
the voters of his home district and
that it augured we'll for Republican
success that in Republican strong
holds the registration had greatly in
creased, whereas in Democratic pre-
cincts the gain was small. Then he
| told of the hard times consequent
upon Democratic rule and described
the differences between Englands sys-
tenn of tariff duties and that of the
| United States. Continuing, he said:
The most interesting and potent results Of
Democratic misrule may be shown by the sta.
tistics of the savings banks of California dur.
| ing the Democratic administration of foul
years and the Republican administration OF
| eight years. During the Democratic four year,
, the falling off OF savings bank deposits IL
| California was $40 00O, 900 and of assets s13
| 600, 600. Four years after the Republicans re
sumed control the savings banks showed $24
600, 600 in deposits in excess of the previou.
! four years, and for the second four-year course
| of Republican rule the amount was $6S 600. 600
And this was not rich mems money. The saw
| inSs banks the poor mans savings insti
| tutions.
Mr. Kahn then spoke of the Phil
ippines and said that when the Fill
pinos were ready for self-governmen
] it would be the business of our chill
dren's children to see that they re-
ceived it. He closed with an appea
to local voters to support the Repub
lican ticket in the coming election anC
send a solid Republican delegation tc
the Legislature and the national cap

QUESTION OF FORGERY.

The spirits of the anti-petition lobby
that had assembled, headed by Attor-
ney NJ. H. Wascerwitz, who represent
ed the Brewers Protective Association,
fell perceptibly at this point, while
those of the Civic Council, headed by
Attorney ]. z. White, frightened. But
the board was not to be denied. Sig
natures were picked out which the
board said it would declare to be forged
and ordered stricken out. Then Hand
writing Expert Carl Eisenschimel was
thrown into the breach and identified
several signatures which he said were
forged beyond doubt.
Then the commissioners began to tes-
tify. Commissioner Mcguire did not
believe the present petition would
stand Commissioner Leffingwell also
stated that he knew the work of the
Registrar had been faithfully perform
ed and his statement was corroborated
by Chairman Roberts and so on down
the line of the commission.
For this reason the board said il
would deny the request of those that
had presented the petition that they be
given an opportunity to check the work
Of the Registrars deputies, stating that
it would delay the preparation of the
precinct lists and interfere with the en-
tire election. Pleading on the part OF
the petitioners was in vain, the call fol
the vote was given and the petition was
rejected unanimously. The Civic Coun-
ell has not yet given up the fight II
says, but just what action it intends tC
take will develop soon, for time il
growing short.
After this question had been finally
determined Attorney Cameron H. King
representing the supporters of certain
of the proposed amendments to tn,
charter that had been rejected by the
board, said that those he represented
would not be satisfied with the turr
matters had taken and announced tha'
this morning he will take the question
