.The People DO Not Rule.''

John w. Kern, the Democratic can
didate. for Vice President is II fine
speaker and a splendid logician. AT
the formal notification of his nomi-
nation on last Tuesday he responded
in n strong speech, that gives some
fine points for us in the campaign.
His strong criticism OF the recent ut
terauce of the Republican nominee,
that Mr.. Bryan's question, 'Shall
the People Rule" implied a charge
OF venality against the American
electorate, is masterpiece OF debate.
He showed that the newspapers OF
the United States without regard to
party demanded that the tariff ON
wood pulp be reduced or removed,
and this demand was seconded by
the people unanimously, yet few
Republicans prevented the passage
of this law. in order that the trusts
may not be disturbed in their tariff
robbery OF the muses., for the benefit
OF the favored few.
The keen thrusts OF Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Kern show them both to he more
than u match for their opponents,
and, with the strong appeals they
are making to the :~ason and patrl-
otism Of the people, there is every in
dication they will win glorious vic
tory in November next.

Angels Take Revenge
on Trailing Oaks
By w. j. SIaffery

lone victory never brings the Oak
land team anything, especially when it
is against a bunch like the Los Ange-
lenos. All OF the fans saw this yester-
day afternoon. The sting of the Thurs.
day shutout was still working on the
southerners and evidently they had
made up their minds TO hand 1t right
back to Oakland in more formidable
package than the one they received the
previous day. In this they were quite
successful. as the Commuters faded
away, to 0.
Hosp simply duplicated the feat of
Wright of the previous day. From the
moment he stepped out on the slab un-
til the. last Oaklander had gone the
scream for the Angel pitcher. He In
dian signed" every man who faced him
and drove them all away from the pan
has displayed this. season.
1t was not the BUSH fielding OF the
Commuters, but the steady and brisk
stickwork of the. southern brigade that
made victory for the latter seem GER
tain. even in the earlier stages. They
tried everything from laying down the
ball to clouting 1t to the fences and
every time they started ted there WAS
only one at a time, but they counted.
Oakes ushered In the game with a
triple to CENTER which Duffy Lewis
misjudged, and in a twinkling Dillon
scored the run. In round three East
erly singled to center and Hosp beat
out a clean bunt. Oakes also laid one
down, but a swell throw by-La Longe
nailed Eastsrly at third. Wheeler
drew a pass and Dillon squeezed Hosp
home, but Oakes was frozen on q nice
heave by Stats.
This little setback did not have any
tendency to discourage the Angels and
they were back on the job in the very
next inning with another. A base on
balls for Brashear opened 1T up and
then Smith sacrificed. Ellis was due
and drew his in the shape of a bouncer
to first. Delmas tried the bunt, getting
away with it and chasing Brash in.
Loucks tired of the going in the fifth
after issuing a pass and Lefty Hardy
took up the burden. Hardy Jared very
we'll for the balance of the game hold
and four hits. although at times it
looked as though the southern brigade
was due to open up with an avalanche
of hits such as Oakland tore off q
couple of weeks ago against the Seals.
In the seventh spasm Wheeler led off
with g. double to left. Dillon was passed
and Brashear singled. making it full
Wheeler around safely with drive
and Ellis forced Dillon at the plate.
Delmas lifted a high fly that should
have sent Brashear through, but he
left third too soon and was declared
out.
Van Haltren thought that he had
chance to do some good for his team
in the final inning and sent in Hogan
Miller and himself to bat for Lewis,
Loucks and Truesdale, but they all per-
ished quickly. The score:

STANDING OFF THE CLUBS

The pennant hopes of the New York
club took upon them a tint undeniably
roseate as the result of its work on
the diamond yesterday. There was
nothing indecisive about the results
of its clash with Pittshurg at the Polo
ground. and as a consequence of New
York's double victory and Pittsburg's
corresponding defeat, still further
gap has been opened between the lead
ers and their nearest rivals. Chicago
went to second place. despite the loss
of a close game to Philadelphia. The
leaders, however, still have two more
games with the Pittsburg team, and
then a series with Chicago, and Will
be forced to keep continually on the
keenest edge to hold their advantage.
In the American league Detroit lost
ground by being beaten by the tail
enders, while the Cleveland, Chicago
and st. Louis teams were winning. st.
Louis worked up closer TO Chicago by
capturing two games from Philadel-
phia- Cleveland is only 10 points be-
hind the Detroit leaders.
