Senator Fairbanks today started upon his return trip from the Pacific coast, but, although considerable distance was covered, he did not get far on his way. Stops for speeches were made at Palo Alto, San Jose, Liver more and Stockton. Senators Fairbanks and Fulton made speeches at all these points, as they did also hers tonlghtv At San Jose and Stockton they spoke from the court house steps and at other places from the rear platform of the car Edge more. All the speaking places commanded views of semi-tropical vegetation and the temperature did not fall to perform Its share in maintaining the lllustlon that the party waa In the far aouthland, for the heat was Intense ail day. One of the most interesting occurrences of the day was at Llvermore, where, after the conclusion of the speeches, a pretty girl of t years, named Adelaide Johnson, dressed In white, was lifted to the platform to present to Senator Fairbanks a bouquet of roses as large as herself. In making the presentation she recited a little speech, as suring the vice presidential candidate of her love and her hope for his success. When she concluded the senator caught her In his arm, lifted her up onto the platform railing, kissing her, and said, referring to the child, "There is . something worth all the speeches In the world." The Incident and the aenttment were loudly applauded. At Stockton, where was held the largest and one of the most enthusiastic meetings of the day. Senator Fairbanks was inter rupted Just as he was about to close by someone in the audience who shouted, "Tell us about the bull pen," referring to Ihe labor troubles In Colorado. Senator Fairbanks responded by saying: "There's a fellow who has something In his head, but I don't know what It Is." He then entered upon an exploitation rf the repub lican party's attitude toward labor, declar ing that "No party, from the time of George Washington to the present day, haa done as much for the laboring nan as haa the republican party." At Llvermore the schools were dismissed In order to permit the children to attend the meeting, and at Stockton the visiting senators were welcomed hy the tooting of dozens of steam whistles. The meeting here tonight was presided over by Governor Pardee and was large and enthusiastic. Both Senators Fairbanks and Fulton spoke, and both gave attention to the general Issues of the campaign. Senator Fairbanks dwelt especially -upon the surrency question, claiming much credit for the republican party In ita efforts to maintain sound money. Early Meeting- a Palo Alto. PALO ALTO, Cal., Oct. 4. The first meet ing addressed by Senator Fairbanks today was held at this point at 8 O'clock. Not withstanding the early hour there were many people awaiting the train when it pulled into the station, and as th meeting progressed many othe;s arrived on foot, in carriages and by bicycles. In his speech Senator Fairbanks took cognizance of the location here of the Stanford university and addressed himself largely to the stu- ! dents, enlarging upon the opportunities af forded, the youth of the present age. "It is not true," he said, "that the ten dency of the republican party Is to deprive young manhood of its opportunity. On the contrary It acts on them, and under Its administration the people enjoy better unances ior advancement man ever Deiore. Now tho child may be wiser than the sage of ancient times." He also referred to the growth of the country during the last seven years, saying that the flag of the United States Is now the greatest emblem of power on earth. "This," he said, "Is not due to accident, but to the fact that our government Is con ducted on correct principles and In ac cordance with rules of righteousness and Justice." He contended also that the republican party is better calculated than any other party to uphold and advance these princi ples. Hence he invited close Investigation into the claims of that party, with the full assurance, he said, that such investigation would Insure support.

He spoke of the unexcelled fertility of the Santa Clara valley and contended that re. publican policies should be retained In order to properly protect Its varied Industries and Insure the continued prosperity of the people. Speaking of the valley further, he said: The prune Is king here, and the repub lican party stands by the festive prune. He said also that he had been from ocean to ocean in this campaign and that his observations had convinced him that thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands, of democrsts will cast their votes this year for Theodore Roosevelt as they had four yeara and eight yeara ago for William Mo Klnley. The aenator said he had In 1900 seen Mc Klnley characterized In Bryan's Commoner as an emperor He had then thought the thrust cruel, but In reality it had proved prophetic, for only a few months after wards at Buffalo he had become the em peVor of the hearts of the civilized world. The speech was liberally Interspersed with applause, as was Senator Fulton's, which followed. Other stops were made at Llvermore and Stockton, with a closing meeting at Sac ramento at night.

But that was not all either at the street fair last night: there were thousands of people. But that 'Is not the point. There vras also a cold wave. Prob ably not two persons within the enclusure knew there was a cold, wave the work of walking from Prince Nicoll's place to the Laughing Mirrors would keep a man warm In winter time. Nevertheless the tempera ture was 79 at 8 o'clock and with 67 at t o'clock a drop of twelve degrees In one hour. The Bridal Chamber Is still the center of attraction on the midway and Is dally visited by thousands of delighted specta tors. The entire Board of Governors re ceive their personal mall there and Can be found In the rotunda at all times. C. M. Wllhelm has. In fact, arranged to sleep there during the remainder of the week. A lecture on European art with production as the principal motif Is ex pected from Drl George Miller Wednes day evening at 7:30 o'clock. Reserved seats can be secured from E. K. Bryson, telephone 698. Those fortunate enough to be In or about the building at prompt 11 o'clock at night never fall to enjoy seeing the curiously Intricate arrangement of rivetted boiler iron with which the pro duction is enclosed and hermatlcally sealed, secure from fanatical or vandal hands dur ing the night. The show, unfortunately, has been attacked from some quarters as being passfbly suggestive, but so far as the governors could ascertain (and the matter has receive! their prolonged and exhaustive attention), those who visited It with deepest misgivings have gone away loudest In Its prstss. Edgar Allen desires particularly to discuss the question any evening at tho building with anyone who might be displeased, and may be found there for that purpose between the hours of 2 p. m. and 1 a. m. It's the Pike ow. The midway, or, as the haut monde now say. the pike, was like a bottle try ing to hold water in freezing weather. The people could pour In at both ends and pack tighter and tighter until finally there would be a terrific surge and several dozen of them would be hurled without their Intention or consent Into some se ductive show and have to pay 10 cents to get out again. This Is the sort of story some very dignified persons you meet on the pike would have you believe. They did not do it themselves oh, no. The patronage was about evenly distrib uted among all the shows and concessions. Everyone who entered the gates took a little package of prosperity In his pocket and went there to give It away in little sllcea. The spielers were there tl give friendly and disinterested advice aa to how and where to leave the lozenges. To be lieve them, no place on earth could ever before have got together so many wonder ful and exquisite attractions. Today Is children's day. The schools will be closed more or less and the grounds will be given over largely to the coming generation. The admission will be 5 cents for these until 6 o'clock In the evening. At night it will be the same old dime, a tenth of a dollar. Evening light will see the Fraternal Order of Eagles within the gates.
