or will you vote for the candidates of the
Democratic party that has always been
the party of the people, and now in
power, is doing ali they can
to improve the condition of
the country. Mr.. Patton said
said he had made more lengthy speech
than he intended, and retired amid a
round of applause from an attentive
and appreciative audience, who could
have listened an hour longer to the brill
liant young orator who had addressed
them, Judging from the manner they ap-
preached and returned their thanks for
the eloquent speech they had just list
ened to.
The President then stated there were
several candidates he would introduce to
the meeting. Mr.. s. Levy was then in
troduced to the meeting, who, in short
speech, presented himself as the candi-
date for Public administrator. He said
he had always considered himself good
Democrat, but since seeing at the present
meeting such fine array Of ladies, with
rosy babies with them, and whose hus-
bands had left their babies entirely to
the care of their mothers, and sat behind
and listened to the eloquent remarks of
the brilliant young orator who had pre-
ceeded him, he had changed his tactics,
and believed now he should be an advo-
cate of woman suffrage, as he now be-
lieved from what he saw, the ladies had
the balance of power, and he should from
this time present his claims to the lad
les, knowing if he got their votes, he
would be certain to get the votes of their
husbands. He retired with a hearty
burst of laughter from the crowd, accom-
panied with big round of applause.
Judge Dupuy was then introduced and
stated that he had been their District
Attorney for the last eighteen months.
and was again nominated for that posi-
ton. He delivered a short but most
fowery speech, stating he had listened
to- the remarks of our young orator and
thought that he had given, in a most
lucid manner, the position of the two
parties, and asked crowd present to care
fully scrutinize them, think upon them
honestly, lay aside all partisan feeling,
and in their honest convictions cast their
votes according to the dictates of their
conscience. They had been held up in
such a manner that all could Judge for
themselves. The Judge then said he
was a candidate for District Attorney
and would be most happy to receive their
votes on the day of election. Mr.. White
was introduced and stated he had re.
ceived the nomination for Auditor, but
as so many able orators and exponents
OF the party had preceded him he would
say but little, but would endeavor to
make what he said to the point. He
said he was out for the office and was
very anxious to get there, and believed
his opponent was citizen of Azusa and
very tall man, and although Major
Hamlin was long man and he short
one, he believed he could outrun him,
and if his friends would only give the
assistance he SO anxiously sought on the
9th day of November he would win the
race. Mr.. w. w. Fisher was then intro
duced. and made brief but
very fowery address, stating that his
friend Major Patton had gone over good
deal OF the ground he had intended to
speak on, and as the hour was getting
late he would say but little, but would
mention some things that the Major had
left out, and add some others, making
little change, "as variety was the spice
of life." He spoke on the Chinese ques-
ton and All Ben's devotion to the pig
tail race, giving his record on the subject,
and handled the matter we'll. He also
spoke of the "trusts." and Mr.. Blaine's
remarks upon them recently. He then
spoke of the ticket presented to the peo-
pie by the Democratic party, dwelling
upon each nominee and their records,
telling the people they had ticket they
might we'll feel proud Of, and that they
must use their utmost endeavors to ele.
vate them to the positions for which they
have been nominated, and with an ex-
hortation to all to organize, work like
men should work for so great cause as
we have, retired amid heavy round of
applause. The meeting was largely at
tended and will long be remembered by
the citizens of Azusa.
