men Of our state-that the activity of
Theodore Roosevelt in fighting In
trenched corruption in the New York
convention was stimulated largely
when California did the right thing by
swinging into line with the progress
sive element OF the republican party
and nominating Hiram ". Johnson for
governor"
In conclusion Wallace laid particu-
lar stress on the Importance of this
election influencing sentiment in favor
OF San Francisco getting the Panama
Pacific exposition in 1915.
The attention of London. New York
and the entire world will be attracted
to San Francisco with completion Of
the Panama canal" said Wallace, and
the exposition will certainly be yours
II by your votes you show the federal
government and the world that San
Francisco believes in clean govern
meat. You will do this by doing your
share to- elevate TO the high Office Of
governor a man of great courag abil-
ity and unquestioned honesty. Such
man is Hiram W. Johnson
IN COMPARISON WITH
CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH
City Attorney Long took up the
thread of his discourse after Wallace
finished.
The republican party is in this cam
paign for clean bill of health. said
Long. Those of US who are active i'm
political affairs know the necessity of
this clean bill of health. The party
has presented to the people a declara-
ton of principles and constructive
and progressive platform. 1t has de-
clared for ballot reform. which means
smaller number of candidates to be
voted for
1t has declared for a reform of Grim
inal procedure that public prosecutors
may not be put in trial by the guilty
and above all it intends to give the
people an opportunity to select a nom
partisan Judiciary. The republican
party. born in times of tumult and sec
tional strife. has to it's credit the wise
administration Of public affairs and a
glorious record of achievement. OF late
years there have crept into it's rank
dangerous and pernicious influences,
giving their attention to the weaning
away of public officers from the paths
of duty These evil influences, financial
in character. are now going over to- our
ancient enemy. the democrats. who are
receiving and encouraging them. The
democratic party went out of Office
clamoring for reform and leaving be-
hind it a record of nOnaccomplishmeut.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff. of which
much has been said. was made a possi-
bility by the votes of democrats in the
senate and in the house of representa-
tives, and the most vicious tariff law
ever enacted was passed by a demo-
cratic congress without the sanction OF
a president who denounced IL in vigor-
Gus terms"
Long concluded by saying that the
republican voters had an opportunity
of putting their house in order
This opportunity" Long reminded
his hearers came primarily from the
fight conducted by a body of upright
men led by one who has been engaged
for seven months carrying message OF
freedom to the people in all parts of
the state. This man it is now my
pleasure to introduce. our next gov
ernor, Hiram W. Johnson"

JOHNSON RECEIVES
4 R0USISG WELCOME

Johnson's entrance into the rink q
few minutes after o'clock was the
signal for a demonstration that lasted
from the moment he entered the door
way until he had walked the length of
the aisle, mounted the platform, taken
his seat and then arisen TO bow his
scknow ledgement. Men stood up and
cheered and waved hats or handker-
chiefs. while from every corner of the
rink came volley after volley of ap-
plause.
In the party which entered the rink
with Johnson We're Chairman Fred G.
Sanborn Of the county central commit
tee, Chairman Meyer Lssner of the re-
publican state central committee. A. J
Wallace, the republican nominee for
lieutenant governor, and City Attorney
Percy Y. Long, who presided as chair
man Of the meeting. The rink was pro-
fusely- decorated with American flags
draped about the walls and balcony. the
speakers stand and hte rear of the
platform, while pictures of Taft, Roose-
velt and Johnson adorned the stage
II was Johnson's misfortune Just
prior to both the great mass meetings
which he held in DreamIand rink dur
ing the primary campaign, to contract
colds which interfered with his speak
ing. but last night he was in excellent
voice and his Gear. ringing tones car

His talk was the same straight from
the shoulder discussion of issues which
he has presented in every city and
town at which he has spoken during
the state tour which has taken him
from the Oregon line to the Mexican
border and through more than half the
counties of the state.
In his opening remarks A j. Wallace.

even If the republican nominee for gov
ernor was defeated by 10000 votes
north Of the Tehachapi he still would
be the next governor of California. for.
Wallace said. the south was prepared
10 give him a majority of 10000.
Johnson referred TO the reception
given him as another home coming,
similar TO that accorded him Monday
night in his native city of Sacramento.
and speaking to the progressive re-
publicans of San Francisco as "thc
hghting minority of this city in the
primary campaign he urged them to
be Of good cheer. For" he said, its

REFORMS THAT SHOULD
BE CARRIED OUT NOW
II have been talking to you about
what has been called constructive de-
structiveness,' that is, that sort of
thing that must be destroyed before
YOU ca build up After that, then
there are certain constructive reforms
that we would like to see carried out
in this government. | shall only in
sketch manner refer to them, but /
wish you to know that the -tenets of
the republican party as set forth in
its platform are in hearty accord with
the views of all the nominees on the
republican ticket, and that this cam
paign is-being waged for a full repub-
Iican ticket all along the line in the
state of California
The candidate then referred briefly
to the leading planks of the republi-
can platform. Speaking Of conserva-
ton, he said:
Besides the conservation as an
nounced by James r.. Garfield and Gift
ford Pinchot, we believe also in the
conservation of. citizenship and char
acter and youth, and the whole design
of this campaign with it's weary
months and its great labor is to make
it possible that any man may realize
his honest aspirations without asking
the protection of any individual or
crawling to any railroad. That is the
sort of conservation that first of all
we believe in. And when you have
con served the character and the citi-
zenship of this land then you will
have the conservation of the material
resources of this land without any
difficulty.

and best in the electorate of this state.

PARTY FROM THE WORK
NOTHING WILL sWERVE

Here is peculiar circumstance:
Until the last night the name of Will
liam +. Iterrin has not appeared in the
utterances of our adversaries l have
heard them in the past in ringing tones
and strident voices denouncing con-
cretely and directly the gentleman who
manipulates the politics of the Southern
Pacific. But until the last few nights
his name has not escaped from the
lips OF our democratic brethren Natur-
ally so, of course. This DISTINGUISHED
patriot who resides in our midst, Will
liam F. Herrin. who has saved us the
trouble for many years of governing
ourselves by the easy process of annex
ing our government to the commercial
system of the Southern Pacific. of
course, his feelings ought not to be
hurt in any campaign of this char
acter. because, forsooth. you might en-
barrass him If you mentioned his name.
and you might lose some votes, too. If
you did. AS for the republican party.
there is nothing that will swerve us
from the work that with your aid
or without tive are going to do. by
the grace of God, in this state.
Our democratic brethren. are asking
through their journalistic friends where
was the voice of this particular man.

ton that four years ago organized pill

most Infamous eminence that it ever

UNDER BANNER OF
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

California republicanism is today
marching under the banner of Theodore
Roosevelt. The hope of this land lies
in the great progressive republican
movement-call it insurgency, pro-
gressiveness. or new nationalism. or
what you will. Today we invite not
only the republicans in California. but
every citizen who believes in the sort
of government we are preaching to the
people. The fold is increasing daily.
Wherever 1 have gone democrats, as
we'll as republicans, are joining in this
movement Wherever I have found the
DETECTION of one republican who is al
lied with the interests I have found
six or eight or ten democrats who have
come over to our side. / will relate
an instance. In little northern town
they told me the banker was opposed
to me. though a republican. 1 inquired
who he was and found his connections
in San Francisco. He was connected
with some other distinguished gentle
ment who had been connected with
some other distinguished gentlemen
who had been supervisors in the city of
San Francisco cloud laughter.) And
when l learned who he was. said
Don't trouble about him. There is no
doubt where he will be in this cam
paign. Before 1 left that particular
meeting seven democrats had signed
our roll.
THAT is how the democrats are 60
ing to vote in this campaign.
I'VE invite not only the men of all
parties to participate in this glorious
campaign, but the women OF the state
also. After all. this is fight to give
every child an equal start in life, and
there is nothing that the women of
the state can be more vitality con-
cerned in.
DEBT OWED TO THE
ELECTORATE OF STATE
And now. in conclusion, would say
that the vote that was accorded the
great cause for which we are battling
in the state of California casts upon us
the most solemn obligation to realize
the debt that we owe in this campaign
to the electorate of the entire state.
Il understand full we'll that the 102,-
900 votes that were given in the pri-
mary election to this cause were given
wholly to sacred cause-not to an in
dividual. not to a personality at ALL
do not take myself so seriously as to
imagine that / merit any Office at any
peoples hands, and any man who en-
twines his personality in campaign
of this sort is either unduly afflicted
with ego, or he does take himself al
together too seriously. I do realize
more fully than can tell you the
solemn obligation that is.upon me in
this campaign and to the people who
have stood so manfully for righteous
ness in the state of California. There
is only one way that I can pay that
debt, but one way by which / can per-
form the obligation that is mine for
the vote that was accorded the cause.

of California, and for which we have
striven within the republican party, is
to drive out of this government William
+. Herrin and the Southern Pacific.

NO CONCESSION OR
COMPROMISE IN FIGHT
Upon the carrying out of this plat
form there Will be neither concession,
compromise nor faltering. Our demo-
cratic brethren have attempted to ap-
propriate to themselves the right to
the execution of this particular design.
If it be their purpose to do what we are
striving to do, if in reality they intend
to go forward with like determination
, with ours, we may give them the full
need of praise that is due to any sort
of men who endeavor to accomplish
patriotic purpose. l have none of that
craftsmanship that arrogates to myself,
or to my party, all political virtue and
all political merit. 1t is for you to de-
termine whether in the past the utter
ances of our adversaries conform with
their utterances a t present, and whether
or not today they are presenting the
same front upon this particular issue
that they claim to have presented in
the past.
IF you find that any lure of office
has tempted any man in this great

out for votes has caused any individual
to modify his views upon this all i'm
portant matter then that man, no mat
ter what his political predictions, is
entitled neither to your consideration
nor TO your suffrages in this cam
pagn. With the interest that is al
most fana tical with me upon this par
ticular issue | lave read the utter
ances of the distinguished representa-
tives of democracy in this campaign.

going to accord to Mr.. Herrin and the

their time, their energy. and their elo-
quence are all directed to telling you
that they are going to be just and fair
and to give this square deal to the In
terests typified in this state by Mr.
Herrin and the Southern Pacific. No
just man would do otherwise than to
accord to every interest in this state
an absolutely square deal. But no sane
man will lie awake at nights devising
methods by which ne can give Mr.
Herrin and the Southern Pacific a
square deal because. as always in the
past, without any of our valuable as
sistance they will take a square deal

WALLACE PAYS TRIBUTE
TO HIRAM JOHNSON

In a vigorous speech w aHace pa1d d
tribute to Hiram Johnson and told OF
the gratifying success Of his whlrl-
wind tour of the state, saying that the
republican voters of California had won
a signal victory over special privilege
when he was returned a winner at the
primary election. Wallace said in part:
1T is q long call from aAIrch to No
vember. Seven months ago Hiram
Johnson and 1 landed one morning at
San Diego. From there we went out
to see what the people Of the south
call the back country to start our cam
paign. which has been the most re-
markable known in any community.
We have heard OF presidential cam
paigns. of record breaking tours of
various parts of the country that were
impossible of achievement None OF
the campaigns we have read of in the
past have extended over seven weeks,
but this man (pointing to Johnson) has
been doing for seven months what no
other candidate for any office has ever
thought of attempting. No other man
In the 25 years 1 have lived in Cali
fornia has made a campaign compar-
able with this man. No man has made
a canvass so potential for good nor so
illustrative of the high principles of
government as that in which Hiram
Johnson is no wengaged. l do not
know how well you are acquainted
with him here, but we in the south
knew him only slightly when he COM
menced making addresses in city after
city When at the outset of his can
vass of the southland people who came
to me to speak of him did not mention
the power he seemed TO WELD over his
hearers nor did they refer to his ora
torical ability. What they said was
That man means what he says Men
are saying that all over the state now,
and when he goes to Sacramento as
governor next January he will prove
that he is at all times sincere in his
expressed determination to rid the state
government of corrupt control. 1 do
not know how you of this city are
going to vote, but venture to say that
If you come down to Tehachapi with
him beaten by a plurality of even
10000 we of the south will yet elect
him by a majority of $4,000 or 10000.

There nave been many great political
meetings in Dreamland rink. The huge
pavilion in Steiner street has been the
scene Of more than one historic gath
ering, at which enthusiasm ran riot
and immense crowds cheered them
selves into a frenzy over a man or an
issue. Never, though, has there been
a greater meeting, or one fraught with
more political significance than that Of
last night, when Hiram W. Johnson,
republican nominee for governor of
California. made his first public ap-
pearance in san Francisco since the
opening Of the present state campaign.
Last night. in the comparatively early
days Of a campaign that still has weeks
10 run. the standard bearer of the re-
publican party was accorded a welcome
and given an ovation such as few men
have received even on the ee of an
election. The tremndous outburst of
enthusiasm was simply first indica-
tion that the oters of San Francisco
were pledged to the cause of political
freedom, and a promise that this city
would join hands with the rest of the
state in November IN clinching the
sweeping victory for progressive repub-
hcanism that was half won at the Au-
gust primaries.

BEAUT|FY DEPOT

The woman's civic club of Pendle-
ton has been invited by the o. r. &
n. railroad officials to suggest plans
for beautifying the depot grounds. At
the same time the officials agreed to
improve the grounds in the manner
recommended by the Pendleton wo-
men and it would therefore seem that
the local o. r. & n. station is at last
to be made one Of the most beautiful
spots in the city instead of one of the
most unsightly.
The old depot building is now be-
ing moved to its new location east Of

oe the concrete walk is being rapidly
completed, new side tracks are being
constructed and a general air of ac>
tivity still prevails in the vicinity of
the local station.
