TOWN TICKET NAMED.
The Mass Meeting at Courthouse a
Rouscr.

The mass meeting of the citizens
of K'ngwood held in the courthouse
Monday evening proved 10 be the
greatest gathering both IN numbers
and. interest that has ever been
Knocked OF al the county capital.
This can only be construed to mean
that our town has at last merged
from an Insignificant borough to
that of a small city, and along with
1t has come a popular wave for
safer and better government. 1t
would appear from the character
of the proceedings Monday night
that government by and for the
people is in great demand and that
the latitude for the machine, the
place hunter, and the CRATER is be-
ing narrowed down by the influence
that is brought TO bear by the indie
pendent voter.
The me citing IN the absence of the
mayor was called to order and its
purpose stated by Recorder G.. NJ.
Jackson, whereupon a temporary
organization was perfected by the
election of Hon. w. G.. Morley
chairman ana c. NJ. Jackson sec.
rotary. On motion the temporary
organization was made permanent.
a lively tilt in the proceedings
came when Hon. w. G.. Brown
moved that the chair be authorized
to appoint a committee of FIVE to
recommend ticket to be amended,
ratified, or rejected by the meeting.
This move was viewed with sus.
pioion 10y quite a large per cent Of
the voters and brought on a sharp
tilt between its advocates and op.
ponents, in which the political
strategy and repartee adduced by
the speakers brough, down the
house on several occasions. The
motion, however, prevailed, yhere-
upon the chair appointed w. G.
Brown, ]. w. Flynn. G. w. Wolfe,
G.. ]. Shaffer, III. S. Whetsell, who
brought in the following recommen.
datons:
Mayor-James T. Daley.
Recorder-C. NJ. Jackson.
Councllmen-W. II. Mcdaniel,
G.. ], Shaffer, G.. Hite Wilson, Frank
M. Murdoch, ]. Frank Rodeheaver.
The report was adopted without
opposition and theOconvenuon adj
Journed without the benediclion,
while Tour ministers were present.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SACRAMENTO. April Ex-Governor
Gillett declared today that the gener-
ally accepted idea that he would de-
clare May and legal holidays in
honor of the fleets arrival at San
Francisco is not correct. He says he
is not even considering the subject be-
cause the people have not approached
him on 1t in the manner he thinks they
should. Every state official and all at
taches of the state Office have declared
their intention of going to San Fran
cisco on the dates mentioned
They have so advised the governor
and have informed him that the people
generally want holidays declared, but
Gillett says he will do nothing in the
premises unless he is petitioned for
mally by the citizens of California. He
emphasizes that until this is done he
will not even take cognizance of the
popular desire for the declaration of a
holiday
The governors secretaries say they
have been overwhelmed with requests
for information on the subject from
every quarter of the state. These re-
quests have been in the nature of adj
vance approval of the calling of the
holidays, but still the governor insists
that these expressions of the publics
sentiments have not been formal
enough and have not been addressed d.
rectly to him. consequently he will ig-

-FOUR BATTLESH|PS
| REFUSED BY SENATE
Piles Amendment Is Killed
by Overwhelming Vote
Against Beveridge

WASHINGTON April 27-By an
overwhelming vote President Roose-
velts four battleship program failed
in the senate, just as 1T did IN tne
house. The amendment for four bat
tleships was introduced by Senator
Piles and the fight for it's adoption was
led by Senator Beveridge. Twenty
three votes were cast for the increased
program, the number largely being
made up of recently elected senators.
Fifty senator's voted to support the
house and the recommendation or the
seante naval committee in 1aYor OF
building only two battleshfps
The debate on the battleship amend
ment lasted three days to the exclusion
of all other matters. 1t was begun Dy
Senator Beveridge with an eloquent ap-
peal for the support of the president
and the suggestion that larger navy
might be needed for war. Members OF
the committee upbraided the Indiana
senator for his yelled hint of war with
another country and sought to make
him admit that he meant Japan
AT times the discussion came near
becoming acrimonious and especially
sharp exchanges occurred between
Senators AIdrich and Beveridge. The
formers reference to Beveridge excited
Senator Smith of Michigan to protest
against the senate chamber being made
a slaughter house for the young SEN
ator from Indiana.
1t was developed by Senator Allison
during the debate that there is well
defined understanding among senate
leaders for the authorization of two
battleships each year until the Ameri-
can navy shall be regarded as suffi-
cient to meet any demands that may
be made upon it.
AS finally passed the bill carries ap-
