had but to raise his hand to gain con-
troll of his audience. Though his
voice was not strong, it is said he
could be heard in every part of the
building.
Judge Parker's speech was of a
character intended to appeal to the
popular demand as well as to the audi
ence which gathered upon invitation
of the Parker and Davis Business
Mems association, under whose aus
pieces the meeting was held. 1t dealt
with methods of collecting campaign
funds, and in this respect the candi-
date took severely to task his Repub-
lican opponents, following lines of a
speech made recently at ROsemount
on the same subject. He discussed the
tariff and trusts. He told of his own
and asked his audience if it would
not like to return to what he termed
the old-fasfioned principles, and his
effort was a Scathing arraignment of
the present administration from the
Democratic point of view.

scheduled to arrive at Madison

Few women were in the main body
of the hall, although the boxes gave
the appearance of a society gathering.
The decorations in the garden were
the same as those used recently in the
Republican mass meeting. No reser-
vations of seats were made except in
one section Immediately in front Of the
speakers stand, where were assem-
bled the members of the Parker and
Davis Business Mems association and
their guests. At each end of the gar
den were stationed bands which played
alternately popular and patriotic Sc
lections.
Isadore Stratus presided. When he re-
ferred to Judge Parker it was several
minutes before he could proceed. The
audience arose en- masse and waved
flags and shouted itself hoarse. He
then took up the subject of tariff re-
form which alone, he declared to be

coming year said that California will
produce this year $1,000 cars OF

1000 cars of celery, 1000 cars of wal
nuts and 1000 cars of beans.

dino it has one tank holding 100000
gallons of OIL Unlike the Texas oil,
the oil lands owned by the Santa F'e
have the paraffine base, and the COM
pany, in addition to using its own oil
for motive power, is selling oil at the
wells in a large way at $1.4O barrel.
The road will derive a vast revenue
from it's oil territory
