REPUBLICANS SURE TO WIN.

The Republican rally at Golden
Gate Hall was attended by good
sized audience. last night. Julius
Kahn. was the star speaker. He said
that the campaign so far as it had
gone marked victory for the Repub-
lican party. The issues in this cam
paign were not many. An era of
prosperity had marked the govern
ment of the Republican party. Ore
gon at the last election showed re-
markable Republican strength, and
this for the very reason that Re-
publican principles were the prin-
ciples that helped that State. He
said in part:
Democrats don't feel enough interest to vote.
They know the country is in good hands Sen
ator Dick has stated that Ohio will roll up
the biggest Republican majority ever known
in that State. leading Democratic laboring
man said to me last week that the laboring
men are getting better wages than they ever
got before, and that they are satisfied with
the present administration. Roosevelt Is an
honest, loyal, straightforward American citi-
zen. There is no possible question about his
election. The only question is how big his
majority will be.
Kahn was loud in his praises of the
navy. He believed in building UP a
strong navy to protect American
interests. He did not believe In war
fare and battle unless it was forced
upon the nation. If ii was forced he
believed the country should be in a
position to meet it. Disputes should.
however, be settled by courts of ar
bitration. SO far as Parker was
concerned, no one would attempt to
question his honesty and his patriot
ism, but his ideas upon what should be
the policy of this country were wrong.
Kahn was in sympathy with his au-
dience, and his remarks were fire.

Hayes confined his argument chief
" to national issues, likening the
teller of to-day who votes for the sup
port of the Republican platform unto
a man who takes a gold piece from
one pocket and places it in another
rather than throwing it broadcast.
The trade of the country, he said,
should be kept in the country. We
can produce all we need and there
is no occasion for opening the gates
to foreign competition.
On this same line Hayes put himself
strongly on record as regards the Chi
nese and Japanese. He stated posi-
lively that aside from employing
Asiatic labor he was unalterably op-
posed to it and if elected to Congress
would raise his voice for the exclusion
not only of the Chinaman, but his
neighbOr the Japanese.
To secure proper legislation, he con-
tended, it is necessary to have solid
delegation in Congress. The next Con-
gress will, according to his calcula-
tions, unquestionably be Republican,
and a Democrat looking for a favor,
such as the building of warship on
this coast, which would mean the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars, would
never be recognized.
/. The meeting adjourned with rous-
ing cheers for both national and State
candidates.

Out at Twin Peaks Hall a rousing
Republican mass-meeting was held last
evening. E. A. Hayes, Republican
nominee for Congress from the Fifth
District and Fred ". Severance, can
didate for the. Assembly from the
Thirty-fourth District. were chief
among the speakers. Outside the hall
bonfres blazed and band played ma
tional airs.
Mr.. Hayes speech was strong one,
treating chiefly of national issues,
while Mr.. Severance merely made a
few remarks, introducing himself as a
candidate and pledging the people his
support if elected.
In spite of outside attractions, the
hall was filed Every mention of the
name of Roosevelt brought forth
cheers, which shows the way the
votes will go in that district. The
opening of the meeting was somewhat
delayed, as the speakers were detained
downtown at other meetings, but in the
interim the band played and i'm
promptu addresses were made by earn
est workers in the ranks of the Repub-
lie an party. During this time a few
small boys in the rear of the hall be-
came a little obstreperous and a sug-
gestion was made that they be expelled
from the hall.

An enthusiastic gathering of voters
of the Thirty-second Assembly District

E. A. Hayes told his listeners Of the
necessity of protection of American in
dustries. He promised his audience
that he would use his utmost endeav-
ors, If he was sent to Congress, to Sc
cure work for the Union Iron Works,
which concern affords employment for
a vast army Of men in San Francisco.
He compared the records of the two
political parties when they held sway
in Washington and asked them to
judge for themselves as to who had
done the best work toward the devel-
oping of American industries.
Senator Richard Welch was cordially
welcomed. The voters showed their ap-
probation of his efforts in securing the
| removal of the Pesthouse from Twen-
ty-fifth and Army streets to the bay
shore.
Mr.. Welch said he was friend of the
laboring man. He advocated the clos
ing OF doors Of this country to Chinese
and Japanese. He said that If he were
elected to the California Legislature
he would not vote for United States
Senator who was not heartily in favor
OF the excluding of Chinese and Japan
ese from this country.

Financial Independence comes from
saving your money. There may be other

constitute the rock on which the foun-
dation of a fortune is built. Trace the

Mr. Lane, whose remarks were heart

who also touched upon prosperity and
its causes, saying in part:

CAUSE OF PROSPERITY.
Let not the people be deluded into the be-
lief that the so-eslled prosperity which the
United States enjoys is due TO the Republican,
party. or that the industrial depression in
England is due TO the Liberal Unionist minis
try. Great natural pauses are at work which
are quite above considerations Of party policy
The United States has 3. 900 600 square miles
~ Great Britain has 12l. 500. The
United States has a population Of not more
than twenty 70 the square mile. while Great

PLEASED AT RECEPTION.
Mr.. Phelan also expressed his pleas
ure at the genuineness and warmth of
the reception that had been accorded
him, which, he said. was especially
pleasing to him in view of the fact
that he has just returned to the city
after a long absence. Governor Cham
berlain followed Mr.. Phelan and for
him the audience had reserved cheers
and applause which were evidently ap-
preciated by the distinguished execu-
tive. After expressing his pleasure
Governor Chamberlain said in part;
The campaign now in progress is in many
respects the most remarkable in the history Of
Presidential contests in this country. 1t is
remarkable first, because of the astounding
claims made by our opponents and the reasons
urged for their perpetuation In power, and,
to TO accomplish that end. And here let US
examine some of the reasons urged for the
election Of a Republican President and see
whether or not they are sound.
First II is insisted that the election OF
a Democratic President will endanger the gold
standard, for the establishment of which our
opponents claim to be alone responsible. L
say. and 1 appeal to the record of the past
few years to sustain me, that Republican
friends have not always been friendly to the
single gold standard, but on the contrary have
charged in the past that Democratic Pres
ident was responsible for its establishment
Not only that but the press which now claims
so much credit for what the Republican party
has done TO irrevocably establish the single
gold standard only short while ago was
lauding to the skies that same Democratic
President and those who followed him in vot-
ing either for Palmer and Buckner or for
the Republican candidates direct, for assist
ing in doing what confessedly they could not
do without such assistance.
Why. nay fellow-citizens, the Republican
party appears now for the first time in it's
history as the champion of the single gold
standard. Its conversion has been gradual for
prior to 1896 IL was the unvarying custom Of
Republican platforms TO denounce Grover Cleve-
land and other wicked Democrats for trying
TO demonetize silver and to fasten the single
gold standard upon the country. In 1891 the
late President Mckinley, in speech at Toledo
Ohio. excoriated President Cleveland for being
hostile 10 bimetaiisn and charged that during
all OF his years at the head OF the Govern
menf he was ''dishonoring one Of our precious
metals, one Of our own great products, dis
honorfng silver and enhancing the price OF
gold" In 1890 he had said In Congress-: s'I
am for the largest use of silver in the cur
Tency of the country / would not dishonor
It I would give il equal credit and honor
with gold / would make no discrimination: :
credit neither. / want the double standard -
Other Republican speakers. Cannon Dingley.
Allison, Dollver and others might be quoted
along the same lines. The Republican platform
OF 1888 which was reported by Mr.. Mckinley,
contained the following blank:
The Republican party is in favor of the
use OF both gold and silver money and
condemns the policy of the Democratic ad-
ministration in its efforts to demonetize
