AGAINST
THE JAPANESE.
Minister Says Children of
Nippon Should Be Put
Into Separate Schools

Rev Edwin II. Hadlock, pastor of
the First English Lutheran Church,
said in his sermon yesterday morning
in referring to the question of the
mingling of Japanese children with
white children in our public schools
The question of permitting Mongo-
lian children to sit side by side with
those of the Caucasian race in our
public schools is not only a delicate
one, but a matter of grave concern
The two races are far apart in Gus
toms, traditions and ideals. 1t is not
a question as to whether or not some
Japanese people are superior to some
of the white race. 1t involves the
question of racial amalgamation. This
might not be seriously detrimental to
either race involved, but the thought
of such a union is revolving to the
scnsibility of the average American.
We are ready to invite the Japanese
into our Kitchen. but not into our fam
lilies as a fiance, and yet the Japanese
who come to us must have the benefits
of our public schools. They must be
educated and Americanized If they are
to become American citizens. This cd
ucation could be given In separate
schools or In separate departments of
our regular schools. but | do not think
that the fathers and mothers of San
Francisco are yet willing for Japanese
and Chinese children to be placed in
discriminatory side by side with their
children in the pubic school room.

End Of a Canvass
That Is Without
Parallel
BY Thomas B. Sullivan.

James X Gillett VIII close his cam
paign for Governor tonight in this
city. He has made canvass that is
almost without parallel in the history
OF the state IN the widest sense ne
has directed his own course in striving
10 score q success not simply for him
self but for the political policies and
principles for which he stands. He is
as familiar perhaps. as any other man
in California with the needs OF the
state and in his electioneering tour he
has Travelled TO the smallest communl-
Ties that demand recognition.
In his national experience as mem
Der Of Congress he has learned TO
recognize the desires Of every geo
graphical and political division of the
Sta.e. He has promised, II elected
chief magistrate Of California, TO make
these desires his personal concern, and
there can be no question that his
promise has been accepted by the peo
pie as genuine and sincere. For that
reason he feels that his fight is won
and that he viii carry with him into
authority 4 dominating Republican ad-
ministrst tion.
GILLETT IN THIS CITY.
Tonight he VIII speak 10 TO the
people of san Francisco for the last
time as a gubernatorial aspirant and
there is reason TO predict that many
thousands VIII listen 10 swhat he Will
say. His FIRST address viii be given at
the Potrero Opera-house, the second

interest 10 note the following an
n0uncament which was made yester-
dav by General George Stone chair
man OF the Republican state central
committee;
At the close Of the campaign the Re
publican State committee expresses the
utmost confidence in the result. The
campaign has been remarkable in the
personal abuse heaped upon the Re
publican candidate for Governor by a
candidate for the same Office on OppO-
sitiOn tickets. while Mr.. Gillett has

GrLLETr GAINS IN VALLEJO.
Rooscvelt's Attitude Furthers Candf-
dacy of Republican Nominee.

VALLEJO, Nov. 4.-With one of the
bitterest political campaigns ever
made in Solano County at an end, the
politicians are figuring on the result
of Tuesdays vote. Bell will likely
carry this county by 400 votes as there
has been great change in the senti-
ment on the Governorship fight within
the last three or four days The decla-
ration of Metcalf that Roosevelt is
for Gillett and the speech of Congress-
man Joseph r. Knowland made here
Friday evening, have won hundreds of
votes in Vallejo for the head OF the
Republican ticket
The Gillett managers and the Re
publican press have waged strenuous
battle to turn the Bell tide, and the
fact that over 500 GilIett buttons were
given out by the local Republicans yes
terday and last night has caused a
sensation in political circles here.
Knowland spent Friday in town and
made personal appeals to every Re-
publican he met to vote for Gillett. The
great popularity of the Congressman
has turned many Republicans to Gillett.
Knowland will get an immense vote
here.
Langdon will get about 200 votes
in Vallejo, and Austin, Socialist, will
poll about $50.
The Republicans will likely carry
the county with the exception of
Sheriff and Recorder. The fight for
District Attorney and Coroner will
likely be close, but there is every in
dication that the Republicans will be
elected.
For the township officers there is
a strong fight. j. A. Browne, who was
elected for two terms on the Republi-
can ticket, but who is running inde-
pendent for Justice. stands an excel
lent chance of election. James II.
O'Leary, the Democratic nominee, is
conceded the other Justiceship.

THREE HIGHwAYMEN ATTACK
STONECUTTER ON WAY HOME

Donald Cameron, a stonecutter liv-
ing at the North German House at
Eighth and Brannan streets. reported
to the police last night that he had
been set upon by thugs on Ninth street.
between Folsom and Howard. Cameron
was walking along Ninth street on his
way home. when he was accosted by
tall stranger. who opened con-
versation by talking politics.
The stranger walked on with him for
about a block. when he struck Cameron
a blow on the head. The would-be
victim was fighting back with his fists,
when two other thugs joined the tall
one.
Cameron cannot remember how long
the fight lasted. but thinks ii was about
five minutes at the end of which time
he broke away from the trio and stag
gered to a nearby saloon. AS he pitched
headlong through the door one of the
thugs aimed another blow at him. but
missed his mark.
Gus Johnson, witness to Cameron's s
hasty entrance to the saloon, substan-
tiates his story as to the last blow He
cannot tell, however. whether the thug
used anything but his fists.
Cameron was but slightly hurt and
continued on his way home.

Seven hundred election officers were

blown down a booth on Forty ninth

Harry Zamansky instructed the cleo
tion officers and replied to ali ques-
tions propounded to him. After the

torium of the Mission High School he
went down to the main floor and gave
an object lesson in opening and clos

TO the officers by Election Commissioner

TO the election officers that there five
candidates for Governor and that Mr.
Bell was the Democratic and also the

The following is a synopsis of the

of the Second Congregational Church.
His text was Peter ii. 1:10, Make

Why does the American ballot mean

to take care of itself until the

a temporary cleanup. Political office

adjunct thereto can fatten at public
expense.
It is an unwritten law that one In
