NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Monsignor
OReiley, historian of two popes-Pius
TX and Leo XIII-and prothonotary
apostolic, was 95 years of age yester-
day.
He is said to be the oldest living
Catholic prelate on this side of the At
lantic. Monsignor O'Reiley is staying
in the castle on the grounds of st.
Vincent's on the Hudson and is at
tended by the nuns and DR.. MCGUIRE Of
New Rochelle.
He has been at st. Vincent's for six
years and although he was relieved by
Pope Leo from all priestly obligations,
he has frequently said mass since.
Archbishop Farley is kept informed
daily of his condition.
Although he was very weak yester-
day there was nothing alarming in his
condition. The nuns and attending
physicians, however, have little hope
that he will live much longer.

Hearst Booted Out

The response was one continuous
shout of approval Immediately after
Bells speech Frank Gould of San Fran
cisco read the resolutions kicking
Hearst out of the Democratic party
of California and characterizing his
presump tious schemes as they deserve.
Frank G. Finlayson of Los Angeles
followed in a speech that took the hide
off the yellow boss and set the conven-
ton wild again. The resolution was.
adopted unanimously amid shouts of
Soak Hearst!" Throw him out"
"Good-by, Willie!" and kick him
hard!'
Only those long familiar with the ar
rogant domination of Hearst in Cali
fornia affairs can appreciate the thrill
ing delight of California Democrats t
being suddenly freed from Hearstism
and freed from the necessity of being
bound to kotow every time Hearst
yellow paper commanded them The
knowledge that as Democrats they had
overthrown the presumptuous and un-
speakable Hearst was a sensation of
pleasure which they will never forget
or regret.
Los Angeles Fares Well
Mr.. Bell. by his courageous and
splendid action today, has invited and
defied the assaults upon him by the
whole string of Hearst yellows, but he
has also demonstrated himself Demo-
cratic leader who is not afraid of any
boss or set of bosses, not afraid of the
corporations nor of any malign influ-
ences plotting against him in the
Hearst camp.
Theodore Bell is a. native son. "a
years old. He has served eight years
as district attorney of Napa and one
term in congress. He could have had
the denomination to congress, but he
yielded to the universal demand for his
nomination for governor and will be
elected.
Los Angeles Jared unusually well on
the ticket and in the platform. w. o..
Morton for attorney general met with
enthusiastic favor, and the delegation
felt proud of the honor shown to its
chairman.
Through the influence of Angelenos
on the platform committee the Owens
river project was remembered. and
while one delegate from Inyo objected
to it he was overwhelmed by an almost
unanimous vote.
Brilliant speeches were made in the
convention by l. B. Dockweiler, Frank
G. Finlayson, W. o. Morton, Frank G..
Tyrrell, Milton K. Young and others
from Los Angeles.

Denounce Standpatters

We denounce the trust-sheltering,
stand-pat policy of the Republican
party that compels our own people to
pay more for home manufactured pro-
ducts than they may be bought for in
foreign markets. and demand a revi-
sion of the tariff to prevent such i'm
positions.
We condemn the subserviency of the
Republican California members of
congress to the steel. lumber and other
trusts as manifested by their refusal
to favor legislation relieving the peo-
pie of San Francisco, and in order to
encourage trade and commerce we
pledge our representatives in congress
to favor the passage of such measure
as will secure the repayment of all
duties paid on structural material i'm
ported into San Francisco for use in
the rebuilding of the destroyed portion
of the city for a period of five years
next ensuing.
We favor legislation prescribing
statutory forms of insurance policies,
which must be used by all insurance
companies doing business in this state
and requiring the deposit by all such
insurance companies of securities Suf-
ficient in amount to guarantee the per-
formance by them of their contracts.
We favor a revision of the entire sys-
tenn of the revenue and taxation laws
of the state 1.-The end that the burden
of taxation be more equally distributed,
and we commend the result of the work
of the commission on revenue and
taxation and we favor recommended
ton by said commission of the adoption
of a graduated income tax on individ-
uals and a graduated license tax on
corporations and we favor the adoption
of an amendment to the federal con-
stitution providing for a national in
come tax.

To Govern Rates

10 1ONCTH hdtcS
In view of the exorbitant earnings
of the large systems of railroads in
California we demand that rates for
freight and fares of Misunderstanding
corporations be reduced to the basis Of
a net revenue of a reasonable percent
upon actual value of the properties.
We pledge our Legislative nominees to
the enactment of a law similar to that
now in operation in Texas requiring
the railroad companies doing business
in California to furnish on demand
adequate facilities for moving the
freight offered by shippers in the state
for transportation.
We demand that congress shall so
amend the interstate commerce act as
to confer upon all shippers of through
freight the right to control the routing
of the same over all connecting lines
between initial and terminal points.
Recognizing the imperative necessity
of preserving the people of our state
from competition with Monaghan la
Dor, we declare for the strict mainten-
ance and enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion act without modification of
any kind and for the extension of that
act so as to exclude japanese and Ko-
reans; further we pledge our candidates
for congress to work and vote for the
passage of bill which shall effect this
latter object
While we recognize the necessity up
on humane and reformative grounds
of providing employment for the in
mates of penal institutions we believe
that the products of such employment
should not be placed upon the market
in competition with the products of free
labor. We therefore favor the passage
of a national law prohibiting the
| transportation of prison-made articles
from the state or territory in which
they are manufactured to any other
state or territory.
Government by Injunction
We favor the passage of the bill in
| troduced IN congress at the request of
organized labor to restrict the issuance
of the writ of injunction in labor con-
troversies and pledge our representa-
tives IN congress to support and secure
the passage of such bill.
We favor the enactment of legisla-
tion by which the provisions of the ex-
listing national eight-hour law shall be
made applicable TO all work performed
under contract with the government.
With a wanton indifference to the
rights OF laborers, Republican legis-
lature shortened from two years to
one the time for which actions for per-
sOnal injuries may be commenced. We
therefore pledge our legislative nom
inees II reelected to restore the period

Initiative and Referendum

uJNe CandldateS TO use every reason
able effort to have appropriate meas
ures adopted to require such publicity.
Initiative and Referendum
We as Democrats, turning always to
the people as the source of all political
power, believe in the system of direct
legislation, including the initiative and
referendum, and we believe In the sub
mission of constitutional amendment
which shall provide for direct legisla-
ton, state, county and municipal.
The first necessity of a free govern
ment is an upright, Independent and
uncorrupted judiciary. No boss nor po-
litical consideration should in any way
influence or control the nomination of
judges. We deplore the dragging of
judicial nominations into the traffic of
conventions and the making of sucn
nominations a subject of barter and
trade.
We favor the passage of such laws
as may be necessary to vest each NUM-
cipality in the state with power to own
and operate all and every kind of pub
lie utility.
We favor the ownership and control
of all public utility monopolies by the
people, rather than by private indi-
viduals or corporations. Wherever
private monopoly is inevitable, public
HlOlOPOly is lle OILY desirable after
native.
Good Roads Needed
All public service utility monopolies
should be owned by the people. Until
these monopolies shall have been taken
over by the people we shall oppose the
disposition of franchises in any form
whatever to private corporations, ex-
cepting such franchises as may be es-
sential to the operation of these utili-
ties pending their restoration to the
people and until then we maintain that
the right to exercise such utilities
should be under license and not grant.
We favor such additional legislation
as may be necessary to facilitate in
every way the construction of compet-
ing railroads.
For the convenient and efficient
of wagons, traction engines
and other private modes of conveyance
we demand the construction of a sys-
tenn of macadamized roads throughout
the state and that necessary legisla-
ton be enacted to secure such roads.
We pledge our Legislators to the sup
port of state law penalizing the
Of monopolies, trusts and
to restrain trade and
commerce, or to fix and regulate the
price of necessaries of life or other use
full commodities and also giving a civil
to individuals of treble dam
ages for violations of such law.
