Republicans will open the State cam
paign in Oakland next Saturday night
There was talk of designating Los
Angeles as the city IN which the in
itial demonstration should take place,
but ii was subsequently decided that
the first gun should be fired in Ala
media County, the home of Governor
Pardee. 1t is expected that the Cover
nor will preside and that George c.
Perkins, senior United States Senator,
and many other leaders of the party
will participate in the opening event.
Judge ]. W. Mckinley, chairman of
the recent Republican convention at
Santa Cruz, arrived in the city from
Los Angeles yesterday and will remain
here until the arrival from Eureka
of J. n. Gillett. the nominee for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Gillett went north last
Sunday to attend TO some law bust
ness at Eureka and incidentally join
fishing excursion for a few days
vacation. 1t is announced at Republi-
can headquarters that he will be in,
San Francisco tomorrow or next day.

ters Judge Mckinley made the follow

headquarters for the campaign in
room Ia, st. Francis Annex. Union
Square. General George Stone has
consented to serve as chairman of the
organization for another campaign.
Jacob Steppacher, assistant secretary.
is on duty at party headquarters.
Here il is the middle of September
- afn mil
vember 6. There is not much time for
the preparation and dissemination of
tons of campaign literature. hence the
committee viii rely on the newspapers
and speakers to tell the voters that the
Republican party has managed affairs
of State in a manner SO creditable that
a change would not conduce to the
happiness of the people or the prosper
ity of the commonwealth.
Red fire will not be used in prodig-
ious quantities to EXCITE interest in the
fight. Fire costs money and the politi-
clans are saying that contributions of
cash will not be on scale of gener-
osity to justify elaborate outlay for
the manufacture of enthusiasm. Bands
must be engaged and. Of course, the
schedule Of compensation fixed by the
Musicians Union must be met without
a murmer.
Our U. S. Senators, our Representa-
tives in the lower House of Congress,
and the candidates generally expect
that bands will be engaged, and have
signified a readiness to pungle up the
cash for music
The most important subject of all is
registration. The following circular
from party headquarters was mailed
broadcast yesterday:
Office Republican State Central Com
mittee, St Francis Hotel, San Fran
cisco, September IA, 1906.
To Republicans:
Registration for the coming election
closes September 26.
The election Of State, Congressional
and county tickets is involved.
Make it your business between now
and September 26 TO urge every Repub-
lican to register.
Members of committees. clubs and
cadidates. give this special attention.
Respectfully,
GEORGE STONE. Chairman.
Z. +. WOODWARD, Secretary.
