ERIN'S DANCES
STIR Her SONS
Gaels Make Merry at Annual
Entertainment and Ball
in Mechanics Pavilion

The Gaelic Dancing Club gave an en-
tertainment and ball at Mechanics Pa
vilion last night that in point of aIten-
dance Outshone all social events Of the
season. There was plenty of enjoy
ment as well, the programme OF Irish
dances being of an unusually high or
der and the ball continuing till a late
hour.
The most striking feature of the en-
tertainment was the grand march OF
200 children in costume and an exhibi-
ton of jig dancing as they stood in a
line that stretched from one end Of the
great hall to the other. Little tots ac-
quilted themselves creditably in the
lively step and won thunderous ap-
plause.
Then there was a fOur-hand reel by
members of the club in costume. which
was followed by an eight-hand reel.
The dash of the Irish dancing stirred
the audience and the graceful perform
ers were literally applauded-
The grand march of the ball was led
by Mayor Eugene z. Schmitz and wife.
There were twelve numbers on the pro-
gramme and three extras. Joseph P.
Kelleher was floor manager and his
assistants were p. ]. Grove and b. j.
Sylver. The following gave aid as a
floor committee: p. LOnergan, j. j.
O'Connell, NJ. Deasy, F. Magee, p. ].
Madigan, Martin Finn, T. Lucey,
James Smith, NJ Lynch, Mrs. McAfa-
hon, Miss Josie Egan, Miss Lizzie
Egan and Miss Katie TObin.
The success of the entertainment was
greatly enhanced by a stereOpticon dis
play of views of scenery and historic
places Of picturesque Ireland The
lakes Of Killarney and Dublin scenes
were highly appreciated and the mani
festations of enthusiasm were hearty.
1t was the fourth annual ball and en-
tertainment of the club, which is now
in a flourishing condition and has done
much to revive interest here in Erin's
national dances.

lation of the country and the exports
have also increased.
"One of the first things suggested by
the statement of the Democrats that
the Government is supplying expensive
luxuries is the system of rural mail de-
livery. 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 free rural delivery routes at the
present time in the United States Over
the routes the farmers are being sup
piled with millions of letters and are
sending away other millions to their
friends and kin. The Democrats do not
talk of doing away with that luxury
They do not dare. They know we'll that
if such movement was planned they
would lose the very small percentage of
the great rural vote that may possibly
be theirs.

certain things in order to rightfully
represent the Republicans of California

quicker than Democrat could. And
1t is by no means sure that the Demo-
crat could get the legislation. / want

At the conclusion of Mr.. Hayes
speech the chairman called for three
cheers for Roosevelt and Fairbanks,
Kahn and Hayes, and then the meeting
adjourned.

Democrats Meet at YountviIIe.

NAPA, Oct. 29.-A Democratic
meeting was held tonight at Yount-
vile. The speakers were William
Silva, an attorney Of Napa; Joseph
Walsh, Democratic candidate for As
semblyman from Napa County. and
Joseph w. Reams, candidate for joint
Senator from the Fifth District.

now hourishing country 1 made to
young Republican, Duncan Z. McKin-
lay, who is going to reclaim from the
Democrats the Second Congressional
District at the next election. The poll
cies Mr.. McKinlay advocates are the
policies of the Republican party and on
Mr.. McKinlay the party may rely for
his fullest support when he reaches
the halls of Congress.
And regarding the conditions in the
Second Congressional District 1 want
to say something more. A few days
ago 1 was astonished to read that in
his speech at Colusa, Theodore A. Bell,
the Democratic nominee for Congress
in the Second District, said that he in
dorsed the words of Senator NeWlands
of Nevada when he said that we didn't
want the Philippine Islands; that we
should turn them loose, save for a
coaling station or two that might be
retained for the purposes of the Gov
ernment. I was astonished that at this
Colusa meeting, when he uttered these
words, Mr.. Bell should have asked
that the voters send him back to Con-
gress to lend his aid in an effort to turn
loose the Philippines; to do an act that
would not only be disastrous to the ma
tion, but dishonorable as well.
II am equally surprised at the stand
Newlands took that enabled him to be
thus quoted. The Congressional Record
shows that he was the author of
resolution inviting Cuba to annex to
the United States, and the Record
chnnTc he drof ho
under which the Hawaiian Islands be-
came an American territory. He was
not an anti-imperialist then, but he as
serts he is now. Doubtless the Demo-
cratic bankruptcy of issues is response
BILE for his change of opinion.
LET THE FLAG REMAIN.
BELL is now saying that he believes
the Philippine Islands should be turned
loose. You remember when the call
came to the young men Of the nation
to uphold the dignity of the flag. Many
OF the young men of this city went to
the islands in answer to this call and
they're there tonight sleeping where
the waves beat in ceaseless requiem
On the altar of their country they
gave up their lives; they died fighting
while the flag was nailed high to the
mast. So long as the memory of their
deeds remain, and it will never die,
let the flag remain: never haul it
down."
Prolonged cheering marked the con-
clusion of Mr.. Dozier's speech, which
was delivered with great dramatic
force and in a manner that compelled
conviction. Judge George H. Bahrs
followed Mr.. Dozier, briefly summing
up the issues Of the campaign, and
gave way to julius Kahn, Republican
candidate for Congress in the Fourth
District, who said in part:
1.-The first thing that comes to my
mind tonight is the quotation from
the campaign slogan of the Democrats,
Economy of administration 1 want
to tell you, my friends. that the Gov
ernment has never before in all its his
tory been run so economically as at the
present time. If you are told that the
expenses of the Government have in
creased. you may reply that the popu-

ALLEGED SUFFERS.
The remark was made last evening
by a well known Republican: The
Merchants Association must revise its
list of alleged suffers if it desires to
promote the purity of elections. Some
careless work must have been done
by the associations experts. For in
stance, Jim Carr, who has lived in
San Francisco tir forty years and at
tended many Republican conventions
since 1870, is classed among the stuff
fers. He was the proprietor of the
Portland House on Sacramento street
for twenty-five years. 1t is not fair,
either, to assume that voters who
cannot now be found at lodging
houses from which they registered
are falsely on the register. Men who
registered in May and June last have
gone to the country to work as fruit
and hop pickers. Many of them may
not return until day or two before
election. If Mr.. Phelan should take
a notion to go to Europe after reg
istering and fail to return until a day
or two before election would it be fair
to advertise him as a stuffer because
he could not be found at the place
from which he registered? 2"

RECORD OF THE PARTY.

Il further suppose that the Demo-
Gratis consider the building and COM
pletion of the Panama canal a luxury
and waste of money. Let me tell
you, fellow Republicans, that the Pan
anna canal will be one of the great
monuments to Republican administra-
ton in the ages to come. They talk
about the feeling and temper of the
people toward the project and toward
the work of the Republicans while they
have been in power, but 1 am willing
to leave our record to the people, and
the Democrats will learn the temper

November 8.
THE campaign so far has been on
one side campaign of principles

nothing whatever to say against the
personality. of candidate Parker, who
is fine representative American. But,
thank God, they can say nothing,
truthfully, against our own leader
No, my friends; personalities are not
the issue. Principles are the import
ant considerations of the day, and to
those principles the Republicans will
adhere and accept the ruling of the
majority"
At the conclusion Of Kahn's speech
the candidate was heartily cheered.
The band struck up Columbia" and.
following the music, Oscar Tolle read
a message from Robert Wienecke. for

Republican Club. wishing success to
the nominees, Roosevelt. Fairbanks,
Kahn and Hayes.
HAYES CHEERED.
E. A. Hayes, the Republican nominee
from the Fifth Congressional District,
then took the platform and was heart
lily ch-ered. He said:
II want to tell you something about
myself, my friends, tefore 1 proceed
with the discussion Of men and issues.
1 am not overcome with the great
modesty of some candidates. 1 tell you
frankly that 1 want your votes. first.
because you need Republican in Con-
gress during the next session of that
body and, secondly, because 1 want to
represent you.
Il was born in Wisconsin and spent
the early part Of my life among the
children Of German parentage, for Wis
consin is one-third-yes, one-half-Ger-
man by descent. And as a race they
are steady, sober-msnded, thoughtful
and painstaking. In all the vagaries of
the Democratic party, in it's procession
of free silver, Coxeyts armies, anti-ex-
pansion and the like, there were very
few Germans in the ranks.
Now, 1 want to tell you why you
need a Republican in Congress. Sup
pose that an important piece of legisla-
ton affecting California's interest
comes up for passing. Don't you be-
heve that a Republican Congressman,
in touch with Republican Congress
and President, can accomplish more for
the States interest than ten Demo-
Gratis?

The University School, of Bridge port, offers special advantages to stu dents desiring to complete their prep aration for college in limited time. This school is in close touch with the colleges; has had large experience in preparatory work; and the results of it's work have been satisfactory-an unusually large percentage of it's stu dents entering college without condi- tions, and winning high honors in all departments of college life, and even greater success in the subsequent pro- fessional or business life. As the time of preparation was in many cases from 25 to 50 per cent less than it would have been in other schools, the above result is the more noteworthy. An important factor is the Summer School, which enables students to take the college examinations in September as we'll as in June, and to continue their studies practically throughout the 12 months.
