Sailing Routes from San Francisco to Manila.

OUTWARD TO MANILA VIA HONOLULU AND GUAM-Follow the Great Circle track from Farallones to Koko head; thence to Guam via the Great Circle. The difference between the Great Circle and the Mercator tracks in these latitudes is slightly in favor of the former, the greatest advantage to be derived from it being the stronger trade winds and cooler weather experienced; 6,943 nautical miles.

FROM GUAM TO MANILA-Follow the Mercator track to San Bernardino Island; thence south through the straits between Capul Island and the south end of Luzon; thence north through Verde Island passage to Manila. OUTWARD VIA GUAM ONLY-Follow the Great Circle track to the north end of the island of Guam; thence down the west side of the island to the harbor of San Luis d'Apra; thence to Manila as above; 6,560 nautical miles.

OUTWARD DIRECT TO MANILA-Follow the Great Circle track to longitude 173 degrees 20 minutes west, latitude 35 degrees 15 minutes north; thence follow the Mercator track to Cape Engano, north end of Luzon; thence the usual track across the north end of the island and down the west coast to Manila; 6,460 nautical miles.

OUTWARD VIA NAGASAKI-Follow the Great Circle track to longitude 175 degrees east, latitude 31 degrees 15 minutes north; thence to Van Diemen Straits via the Mercator track. This track is far enough south to clear the Japan stream until near the straits. From Cape Satano, follow the track south of Koshiki Islands, thence north to Nagasaki.

From Nagasaki to Manila-in the southwest monsoon season-take a southwest course through Formosa Strait until clear of Pescadores islands and reefs; thence follow a direct course to Cape Bolinao; thence follow the coast to the usual entrance to Manila Bay.

From Nagasaki to Manila-in the northeast monsoon season-follow a direct course, Mercator track, passing east of the Meiaco Sima group; thence, through Bashee channel, follow a direct course to Cape Bojeador; thence the usual track to Manila on the west coast of Luzon; 6,813 nautical miles.

HOMEWARD DIRECT TO SAN FRANCISCO-From Cape Engano follow the Mercator track to the intersection of the Great Circle track via Guam (outward), longitude 173 degrees 20 minutes west, latitude 35 degrees 15 minutes north; thence to Point Reyes via the Great Circle; 6,460 nautical miles.

HOMEWARD VIA NAGASAKI-Follow the west coast of Luzon north to Cape Bojeador; thence north between the south end of Formosa and the island of Botel Tobago; thence north, passing Dome Point ten miles off; thence northeasterly, sighting Hoa Pin Suo, and leaving it on the starboard hand, the western side being steep-to and clear of danger; thence a direct course to Nagasaki.

From Nagasaki, south through Van Diemen Straits, this being a perfectly safe passage with no sunken dangers. From Cape Satano follow the Mercator track to latitude 32 degrees 40 minutes north, longitude 140 degrees east; thence the Mercator course to a position in longitude 173 degrees 20 minutes west, latitude 35 degrees 15 minutes north; thence the Great Circle to Point Reyes; 6,748 nautical miles.

The Registrar's returns do not take account of divisions within the parties. The Republicans were the only party in which the election developed a real contest, three, and in some districts more, tickets being in the field. The main issue was the election of delegates to the state convention for or against the renomination of Governor Gage. The pro-Gage forces were split into several organizations, usually known as the Mutual Alliance and the United Republicans. The anti-Gage forces were led by the Primary League. A semi-official tabulation of the Republican vote gave the following figures

THE PLATFORM.

The following is the substance of the platform of the Union Labor party adopted at its session of Sept. 15, 1902: It is the purpose of the Union Labor party that the will of a majority should prevail in the State of California ("majority" meaning a majority of those entitled to vote and who do vote).

We demand the submission to the voters of an amendment to the Constitution providing for majority rule, through the initiative and the referendum as to statute law, as well as the initiative for constitutional law, and that the percentage of voters necessary to invoke the referendum on any statute shall not exceed 5 per cent of the number who voted at the preceding general election for Governor; and further, that the percentage of voters required to propose a statute or constitutional amendment, through the initiative, shall not exceed 8 per cent of the whole number who voted for Governor at the last preceding general election; and further, that such amendment shall provide that the people shall have at least ninety (90) days in which to invoke the referendum upon all statutes, except ordinary appropriation acts and such laws as may be necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, peace or safety.

It is the purpose of the Union Labor party to secure practical measures for "majority rule," through the initiative and the referendum, in the local affairs of cities and towns in the state, by the enactment of a law expressly authorizing municipal corporations, through reasonable requirements, to submit questions of public policies to a direct vote of the people, until their rghts shall be more fully secured by the adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment.

To incorporate in the rules of procedure of the Assembly and the State Legislature provisions whereby the voters may instruct at will as to questions of national policy: (1) Interstate commerce, (2) subsidies, (3) injunc tions and trial by jury. (4) dependencies, (5) hours and conditions of labor, (6) postal savings banks and (7) the direct election of United States Senators.

To use the power of the Union Labor party and its successful candidates to enact an exclusion law that will exclude all Asiatics from the United States, its territories and ships.

To abolish all poll tax laws, and to enact a law for the purpose of maintaining our public schools by direct taxation upon all property, for the reason (1) that said poll tax law is unjust, is evaded by the rich and is unconstitutionally collected from the toiler; (2) it is collected from Asiatics, a class of people not eligible to citizenship, according to the Constitution of the United States, and which gives the Asiatics the only right to demand equal privileges in our public schools, thereby forcing the children of the masses to associate with a race of people whose habits, morals and general characteristics are a potent factor in the demoralizing of the youth of the nation to the condition of serfdom; engendering into the youthful minds of our children the vices born of the lowest possible scale of existence, teaching them by daily contact to be content with conditions inimical to the future progression of our people, our state and our nation.

We demand and will use our power to establish an eight-hour law for all trades and callings, whether national, state, municipal or private employer; also to provide laws for the safety and health of all employes working in shops, factories or places where such danger exists; and will use our power to establish and enforce laws prohibiting the employment of child labor.

We demand and will use our power to enact a law prohibiting the issuance of injunctions, in so far as to its application to the right of free speech, free press and the rights of labor to organize, strike or cease work in order to maintain their rights.

We demand that all supplies to public institutions within the State of California shall bear the union label, and goods of home manufacture be given the preference.

We demand and will use our power to build substantial schoolhouses in every section of the state, and will use our powers to pass a law empowering the state to furnish all books used in the public schools free of cost to every pupil-rich or poor; also that all furnishings and necessaries used in the public schools shall be of home manufacture, if possible to procure within the state.

We demand and will use our power to establish the public ownership of all public utilities and means of communication.

We demand and will use our power to enact laws that will bring all public institutions within the state under the rules of civil service, thereby insuring the best of care and treatment to the dependents of the state.

We demand and will use our power to enact laws providing for free markets, whenever and wherever desired within the state, in order that the producer can bring his products direct to the consumer; and that the interstate commerce laws be so amended that there shall be no discrimination in transportation in favor of the jobber or middle man.

We favor the erection of public buildings for the free use of public gatherings, such as lectures, entertainments, conventions and matters of general interest to the public.

We pledge our nominees, if elected, to use their power to abolish the law known as the State Railroad Police law. We pledge our nominees, if elected, to use their power to help enact a law making it a crime to serve unwholesome food in hotels, restaurants and bakeries, and that special inspectors, who are practical men in the occupations to be inspected, shall be appointed by the Governor, with power to prosecute all offenders, and that it shall also be the duty of such inspectors to take notice of and bring to the notice of the proper authorities all insanitary conditions of said places, liable to affect the health and welfare of the public.

We pledge our nominees that if elected they will use their power to enact a law providing for a license to engineers.

We demand the repeal of that section of the present primary law wherein it makes it compulsory that the voter shall declare his party politics, and pledge our nominees, if elected, to use every effort to accomplish that end. We are opposed to the proposed constitutional amendment No. 28.
