The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-10-24

The Republican State Central Com
mittee obviously proposes to finish the
campaign in a blaze of enthusiasm.
The alignment of the speaking talent
by General Stone indicates his impress
sion that the real battle ground is the
Second Congressional District. 1t is
noted that United States Senator
George c. Perkins, Governor George c.
Pardee, Attorney General U. S. Webb.
Frank P. Flint of Los Angeles, Seward
A. Simons of New York, T. B. Dozier
of Shasta, E. Myron Wolfe and Colonel
7. V. Eddy of San Francisco will speak
this week in the Second District. Sem
ator Perkins will speak in the Sixth
District also with ]. c. Needhan1 at
Salinas tomorrow evening, October 20.
A great Republican demonstration is
expected.
Duncan E. McKinlay was in the city
a few hours yesterday and left in the
afternoon for Mendocino County, where
he will probably break all campaign
records for travelling and speech maxi
ing. He was the central figure Of great
Republican demonstrations at Williams
and Arbuckle Saturday. BY travelling
fifty miles in an automobile after mid
night he was enabled to connect with
the train coming to San Francisco. He
arrived in Willis last night. This even
ing he will speak at Ukiah. The enthu-
siasm over his candidacy is so great
that predictions are made that he will
xx,iv, ont IN, MandO0fnO Countu.
Senator Perkins will speak at Sacra-
mento next Thursday evening. Re-
publican majority of 1900 in Sacrament
to County is predicted.
Governor Pardee and Attorney Gen
eral Webb will speak at Chico on We'd
nesday evening; at Marysville Thurs
day evening and at Woodland Friday
night. Every meeting will take on the
character of great Republican ova-
ton. The party leaders are out to win
every Congressional district in the
State, and every Republican voter is
expected to do his duty to his party
and his country, regardless. of personal
preferences and individual inclinations.
JUDGE MELVIN.
Judge H. A. Melvin of the Superior
Court, Alameda County, and Senator
Thomas B. Sewage are in Humboldt
County. Judge Melvin is a host in him
self and in a class of his own. In talk
ing and singing he is the most capti-
waiting campaigner in California. ]. N.
Gillett, Republican nominee for Con-
gress, First District, will speak at
Trinity Center tonight, at weaverville
tomorrow night and at Redding Wed
nesday night. Frank H. Short Of
Fresno, one of the ablest orators of the
State, will join Gillett at Redding. A
great demonstration by the Republi-
cans of Shasta will enliven the cam
paign on the Upper Sacramento.
Congressman j. c. Needham and
Seward A. Simons will speak at Santa
Cruz next Thursday evening.
The closing rally of the campaign in
Sonorna County at Santa Rosa. Mon
day evening, November 7, with Gov
ernor Pardee and Duncan E. McKinlay
to the front, will inspire the Republican
voters to active work on election day.
1t is the belief at Republican head
quarters that the Democrats are losing
ground in every district of the State.
Tom Geary, the special champion of the
Democratic nominee for Congress in
the Second District, endeavors to put
UP good front, but it is known that
he is discouraged by the lack of en-
thusiasm for his candidate.
In the Fourth District money is
wagered that julius Kahn will defeat
Livernash. the Democratic nominee.
Kahn is making a conservative, digni-
fed campaign and will surely receive
the votes Of many of the workmen who
did not line up with the Republicans
two years ago.
FIFTH DISTRICT.
The three-cornered fight in the Fifth
District is progressing to the satisfac-
ton of the Republicans. Williams, the
nominee of the Union Labor party, and
Wynn, the Democratic candidate, are
running side by side. E. A. Hayes. the
Republican nominee, is far in the lead.
There are many signs to indicate that
he will come to the city with very
large majority. The Fifth is not deem
ed doubtful district.
The Call has received the following
inquiry:
Editor San Francisco Call
IAN you klHuly give the people some infOr-
nation and at the same time settle much

Diligent inquiry in many quarters
fails to elicit such definite information
as would justify The Call in saying
that Wynn was formerly q Republican
