the democratic ticket would be invinci
BILE in the city, county and state.
The resolution was adopted by a
rising vote.
Party and Press Take 1t Up.
The matter was at once taken up by
the party all over the state with great
enthusiasm, and the democratic press at
all points is heartily responsive to the
programme.
Mr.. White has lived here in Los An
geles since he was quite young man.
His whole career has been here. The
HERALD, knowing his great popularity
with the people of this city and the
high esteem in which he is held by all
Los Angeles, has interviewed a
large number of representative men
in all parties, and it is amaz-
ing how unanimously the voice
of this city is raised in his behalf. The
men who speak in the following inter-
views are all leading citizens whose opin-
ions are not lightly expressed, or whose
utterances can be anything other than
sincere.
Fittingly the first utterance given is
by Major Burke, who introduced the
resolution.
The Interviews:
MAJOR w. r. BURKE-He has no equal
in the state. In the United States senate
he would be second to no senator on the
floor. He will represent the whole state
of California. He belongs to the whole
state. He would see that this end
OF the state shall receive that due
recognition at Washington which
it has never had yet-a lack from
which we have suffered sorely.
He will do for us what Senator
Reagan has done for Galveston, which
has had, first and last, $6,000,000. Here
tofore we have been fed on the crumbs
that fall from the national table. A
man of his caliber from here will
see that we are fairly treated,
while at the same time he will
see that no interest of any part of the
state is without an advocate in the SEN
ate. He knows our needs, and can
make our merits known, instead of our
being ignored. He is democrat, and
of course his election depends on our Sc
curing democratic legislature; but |
can see that this question is one larger
than mere party considerations. He
will go before the state in a popular can
vass for the place and he will show that
California is not depraved in politics,
and that the sack" does not control the
voters. Stephen M. White is the man
to arouse all the manhood OF the state to
any good purpose, and this is the best
purpose he has appeared for yet With
such man as White in the senate,
Southern California will not be left to
depend on these crumbs of appropria-
tions, nor yet would the great city of
San Francisco, the metropolis of the
coast, in which we all take so much
pride and interest, be allowed to beg
III vain for sufficient appropriations
to erect such public buildings as her
population and importance demand,
while every interest Of every part of the
state, whether agriculture, horticulture,
vltlculture, mining or manufactures will
all have his closest attention and most
powerful support at all times.
CAPTAIN GEORGE G.. KNoX-I should
greatly like to see Steve White in the
United States senate. If he makes a
popular canvass of the state it will help
out the whole ticket
H. T. d. WILSON, have the highest
possible regard for Mr.. White personally
and politically. He will adorn the SEN
ate, and reflect great credit on our state.
To make personal canvass of the state
for United States senator | regard as a
step in the right direction. 1t will
help to popularize the programme
of electing the senators by a popular
vote.
H. w. HELLMAN, of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank-I am for White for
senator. He is equal to the require
ments of that or of any office, not ex-
cepting that of president. He is one of
our ablest public men, and his integrity
is beyond all question. l think by all
means he ought to canvass the state in
person. for he is sure to win votes
wherever he appears.
j. j. SCHALLERT-I think everything
OF Mr. White for any place. | think he
ought to make popular canvass of the
state by all means.
d. r. RIsLEY, ex-United States Mar
shall think White would make a
brilliant senator and reflect the highest
credit on the state.
Col. JOHN E. Platter president of the
County Bank)-I am strongly in
favor of Stephen M. White
because | regard him as highly repre-
sentative man, and because of his per-
sonal qualifications for the place.
j. I. SHEwARD-I am very much in
favor of S. NJ. White for senator. He
is so thoroughly honest in all things, of
such unblemished reputation as pub
lie man. He is a good citizen in all
walks of life. He has all the interests
Of Southern California at heart, with
every disposition, too, to do all in his
power for all parts OF the state. / do
not see how any objection could be made
to the man from any source whatever, to
his candidacy, on any grounds. He
ought to go before the people in direct
appeal, making personal canvass of
the whole state. He is too good man
to be lost to public life.
j. w. RoBINsoN-I am not at all poll
tician, and not democrat. But / think
Mr.. White has the qualifications for a
senator of the highest rank. He natur-
ally has the interests of Southern Cali
fornia at heart. | do not mean by that
he would not do all possible for all
parts of the state, or of the whole coast,
for that matter.
Ex-MAYoR E. f. SPENCE president of
the First National Bank)-Should the
republicans fail to elect the senator,
then, and then only, Stephen M. White
is my first choice by all odds.
MAJOR GEO. II. BoNEBRAKE president
of the Los Angeles National Bank)-
