Editorial Opinion
w. |. pouaIass Eor President.

w. L. Douglass For President.
Paterson Evening News.
If the Democrats really want to elect
the next President, why not select a
candidate who represents something?
In the person OF. ex-COv. William L..
Douglas, the great shoe manufacturer
of Brockton. Mass. the Democracy
would find an ideal candidate. Mr.
Douglas is a self-made man. He has
worked up from the shoemaker's bench
to the Governors chair. He can SYM
pathize with labor. He is the head
of great industry and is a capitalist
and knows the needs of business and
industry. He is a banker and under
stands the currency question. He is
a manufacturer and knows the tariff
situation. He is a constructive states
man. as witness the wise legislation Of
Massachusetts in relation to savings
banks and life insurance. He is not
identified with the factions that have
rent the Democratic party. He car
ried the rock-ribbed Republican State
of Massachusetts by a phenomenal ma
iority He would reunite the De-
mocracy and lead it TO victory. He
has no past political record like
Bryan's. He would make a safe and
sane candidate; that is, if he could be
induced to take the nomination. The
trusts and grafters would not like him,
but the great body of the common peo-
pie. the business men and the farmers
would elect him. The Democracy are
in the political wilderness. If William
L. Douglass would take the nomina-
tion. he would be the political Moses
that will lead them to the promised
land of victory at the polls next Mo-
vember.

Different From Other Hard Times.
Wilmington Labor Herald.
The panic this year unlike panics Of
former times affects trade organiza-
tions but very little, so far as reducing
wages are concerned. The slogan of
the American Federation of Labor that
these shall be no reduction of wages
appears to have taken hold with the
average union workingman. And it
is right that it should be 50, as a
wholesale reduction OF wages as in
former times only makes times harder.

SLUMP IN WOLFE VOTE
Senator's Opponent Is Develop
ing Much Strength

Is there going to be slump in the
vote for Eddie Wolfe candidate for
the state senate? That question is
seriously considered by the republican
campaign managers. While none of
them says that Wolfe is going to be
defeated, all of them agree that his
plurality of four years ago will be
winfield Scott Williams, who has
been most enthusiastic Wolfe man
in the thirty-seventh district, said yes
terday that DR.. r. Cadwallader, the
democratic candidate, was developing
more strength than anybody ever
dreamed he could command. Williams
saws Wolfe has hard row to hoe.
Another machine man In the same
district pointed out that Wolfe's
friends were showed under the other
night in the election of officers for
the Ashbury Improvement club, and he
wondered whether that was a slap at
the small senator.
One senator of whose election there
can be no doubt is Dick" Welch of the
thirty second district. Welch has made
local improvements the issue of his
campaign and with great success. An
other winner is Jack McGee of the
forty-second district, who is expected
to beat John P. Hare, the democratic

AFTER TR|UMPHAL TOUR
Delegation, Headed by Brass
Band, Will Meet Demo
cratic Leader at the
Ferry

Theodore A. Bell, the noted California
democratic leader, who after stumping

evening he will make an address at the
big Bryan rally in the Naval pavilion,
Market street near the Central theater.
The speeches of both Bell and James
d. Phelan have aroused great en-
thusiasm throughout the territory they
have traversed. Bell, in his address
tonight, will tell about this tour, and
also of his campaign In the east He
believes from what he has seen and
heard that Bryan is going TO sweep
the country.

CONGRESSMAN Kahn has won him a fol-
lowing that makes his victory certain,

BRYAN DENOUNCES
CHIEF REPUBLICANS
Charges TAFT and Roosevelt
With Close Connection
With the Trusts

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 3O.-Heaping
denunciations upon the heads of John
d. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie. Pres
ident Roosevelt and Taft, because, he
charged, of their connection or SYM
pathies with the trusts, w. ]. Bryan in
this city tonight brought to a close
another strenuous day of campaigning.
The principal meeting was held in the
big Central armory and second au-
dience was addressed at Gray's armory.
Later the candidate spoke to the street
crowds from the balcony of the Hollen-
den hotel. The arrival of the candi-
date at the principal armory was her
aided by a great throng outside, and
those on the inside broke into frenzy
of applause when he made his appear
ance on the platform. Bryan apparently
was at his best, his voice carrying to
every corner of the building.
Launching at once into the issues OF
the campaign, the candidate discussed
the democratic platform, laying great
stress on the planks relating to the
guarantee of deposits, publicity of cam
paign contributions and the trusts. The
two latter topics furnished him the
theme for his attacks on the f1nanciers,
the president and Taft. The Standard
oil company and the steel trust, through
MeSSrS. R0ckeIeller ana OaTneSiS, Wetc
credited with furnishing the funds for
the republican campaign. Earlier in
the day Bryan gave out statement
of his views regarding the declarations
of the two fnanciers that they were
supporting the republican candidate
and this statement was practically em-
bodied in, his speeches here tonight
Not content with his structures upon
those named, Bryan had something to
say about Secretary Root, who is cred
tied with having stated that Bryan's S
election would be a menace to the
country.
4 see Mr. Root has made an argu-
ment against the election of senators
by the people," he remarked. Lam not
surprised No man in public life has
more reason to fear an election at which
the people vote.
HE also thinks my election would
be menace to the country. That is
not surprising. He began his legal
career with a defense OF Boss Tweed
and has been so intimately ASSOCIATED
with the big law breakers ever since
that he would naturally resent the
democratic idea OF enforcing the law
impartialIy against offenders"

SAN JUAN READY
FOR GRAND FIESTA
Carnival to Raise Funds for
Restoration of Old Mission
Begins Today
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN JUAN. Oct 3O.-The quaint old
mission town of San Juan is preparing
to awake tomorrow to a round of
gayety and festivities such as has not
disturbed its serenity in a decade. Not
since the celebration that attended the
centennial anniversary of the founding
of the Mission San Juan Bautista, in
1897, has the dreamy little town re-
sponded to such a thrill of excitement
as that which pervades it tonight
Tomorrow the fiesta and carnival
planned to raise funds for the restora-
tion of the old mission will begin, and
for two days the. hospitality of San
Juan will be taxed to the limit. Many
visitors have already come into the
town and hundreds more are expected
tomorrow and Sunday.
In the main street many of the stores
have been decorated and the holiday
spirit is in the air. Noisy young
folks and gladstone old folks are en-
joying together the pleasures of eager
anticipation.
There will be grand concert and
bail tomorrow night at which Spanish
Spanish dances will be much in evi-
dence. At midnight in the corridors
of the old mission Spanish supper will
be served in which even the ghosts
Of departed greatness who have lurked
in the mission ruins undisturbed for
many years will join.
Sunday morning there will be a ball
game between San Juan and Salinas in
which embryo Ty Cobbs, Minor Browns
and Lajoies will do battle for the edifi-
cation of the fiesta visitors. At noon
Father Closa and several visiting
priests will celebrate open air mass
in the plaza facing the old mission,
following which a monster barbecue
will appease the hunger of the town
folk and their visitors.
Not until Sunday afternoon does the
fiesta proper begin. At that time the
sports of the plains will reign supreme
and wild broncos, not the wild west
show variety, will pit their viciousness
against the skill and endurance of men
whose lives have been spent on the
range. Steer roping and Tying, va
quero races, woman vaquero races,
Virginia reel on horseback and similar
sports will furnish the excitement.
Many of San Francisco's most promi-
nent citizens will be present at the
fiesta The White Squadron" of San
Francisco is planning a trip to San
Juan tomorrow. The California auto
mobile club will be here Sunday Ex-
cursion rates will be in force on the
Southern Pacific Sunday.

BUFFALO, N Y; Oct. 30.-Sledge-
hammer blows at the Gompers- Bryan

two immense audiences. Mr.. Taft gave
the names of many labor leaders high

The attempt of Mr.. Gompers," he
declared with great emphasis, ito de-

history of politics. 1t is most reassur-
ing to note that the men associated
with Mr.. Gompers in the executive
councils of the federation of labor, are
falling away from him in this effort
of his to make the federation politi-

The men who decline to follow him
are John Mitchell, James Duncan, first
vice president of the American fedora

the part of Mr. Gompers, and he is will

possible to secure success.

system was decidedly the most import

Mr.. Gompers. however. has so COM

welfare of the wage earners. He is
willing to have q return of the cOndi-
tions that existed in 1895. so eloQuently
described by him at that time, If only
he can secure what he regards as the
proper legislation concerning injunc-
tions.
He proposes to abolish injunctions
in industrial disputes where the in
junction is issued to protect a person
whose business is Injured by the law
less acts of workingmen, and this by
statute. He also proposes to legaliZe
the secondary boycott, although many
trades unions have distinctly renounced
its use as an instrumen tality in indus
trial disputes which is unrepublicar
and un-American, and which is certain
to react upon the users, as a boomerang
with disastrous effect
President Roosevelt in a letter to
Mr.. Bryan has inquired of him whether
the democratic platform is to be taken
as favoring this plan of Mr.. Gompers
which Mr.. Gompers asserts to be the
fact, saying that 1t was agreed be-
tween Mr.. Gompers and Mr.. Bryan that
what the labor interests had been de-
manding from congress should be q
