NoTA BENE WALKERS ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Walker, the union league non-tax-
paying candidate for the Office of county
tax collector, made an address on Tues
day evening at Pico Heights. in which
he made painfully interesting illusions
to his family affairs in attempting to ex-
plain why he had the gall to aspire to
an office of such Importance when he
had no property interests in the country.
He offered the explanation that il he did
not own any property or pay any taxes his
mother and sisters did, and stated that
it was not his fault that he did not pay
taxes now, and added, "but if / am
elected tax collector, will promise az
the end of my term to be paying a big
tax"
Mr.. Walkers argument why he should
be elected Is a novel one, and in full
keeping with the fellows career here.
1t is on par with the whole Republi-
Lan Union League tax eaters aseocia-
tion policy. that public Office is for prl-
vate revenue only. Mr.. Walker should
be put where he will do the least harm
lin the tureen.
POLITICS AT NEwHALL.
One of the most successful and enthu-
siastic political meetings of the cam
paign took place Tuesday evening, at
Newhall. The Democratic and Peoples

evening, 60 an arrangement was made
for joint meeting. to be addressed by
speakers on both sides. The experiment
proved complete success. W. III. Settle
presided, and J. E. Wilson acted as Sec
retary.
After the candidates for the various
local offices had been introduced. ~. A.
Ryan, of this city, opened for the Demo-
Gratis in speech on county affairs. The
speaker showed by unanswerable figures,
taken from the public records, that there
is gross mismanagement and extrava-
gance in the conduct of our county gov
ernment, and necessity for reduction
of taxation, and appealed to the business
men and farmers of the community to
make common cause in favor of econom-
ical government.
Mr.. Larkin, of Pasadena, followed on
behalf of the Peoples party. He dis
cussed the financial question, handled
the money power and monopolies with
out gloves, and closed with a caustic
criticism of the Republican misrulein the
county. He made an effective address.
That sterling young Democrat of Pasa-
dena, Mr.. Simons, closed the meeting
with an alb g address on the question of
tariff reform.
Music was furnished by the Newhall
braes band. The best of good feeling
and harmony prevailed throughout. and
the results were highly satisfactory to
the candidates.

presiding. The meeting for the eau
cusses of the different precincts of the
werd were agreed upon, and can be
found in the advertising columns in the
| HERALD.
As the White-Estee debate elected such
widespread interest, why should not
the committees of the Democratic and
Republican parties get up debate on
campaign issues between two of the
local speakers? A debate between John
Shirley Ward and Uncle Billy Williams
or Judge Widney, would fill the
pavilion. A home tilt of this kind would
infuse life and vigor into the campaign.
The county central committee Of the
Peoples party held an all-day session
yesterday. A monster picnic was ar
ranged for Los Nietos and vicinity or
