was Democratic night at Long Beach,
the large auditorium OF the tabernacle
being fairly flied by the believers in the
equal rights of all, especially the in
alienable rights guaranteed to all Amer
lean citizens by the constitution.
irrespective OF creed, which the coward
~, bushw hacking proteges of the Repnb'
llcan party-the A. z. A.-deny. Tne
ladies, who had outdone all their former
efforts in the magnficence OF their dec
orations, were out in force, and from the
earnest interest the wives, mothers and
daughters oi this fair section took in the
proceedings, it is safe to assume that the
dave OF bigotry are numbered.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the local Democratic club.
The Long Beach band with the recep-
ton committee met the trains as they
arrived and escorted the visitors to their
respective quarters.
The meeting was called to order by
MIR. Il. NJ. Walker, who announced the
unavoidable absence of Judge Ryan,
who was unable to be present "a per
agreement on account OF legal business
in the northern part of the county which
required his personal presence. Mr..
Walker, who 10 the central committee
man for this precinct, introduced Mr..
Alexander Miles of Cerritos as the
chairman of the evening. MIR. Miles
lost no time monkeying with tsffy for
the candidates, but with true Demo-
cratic instinct got down TO immediate
business by introducing MIR. Harry
Stieglitz OF San Pedro, candidate for the
senate. Mr.. Stisglitz's spsech was
straightforward and to the point.
Mr.. w. &. Burke OF Los Angeles was
the next speaker, and as he 10 O gentle
man who always knows what he is talk
ing about. the audience was treated to q
graphic description of how the Southern
Pacific of Kentucky got in their work
on the people at large through the con-
trolling influence OF the notorious Dan
Burns in the late state Republican con-
vention.
Mr.. Frank Seheider. the young Dem
ocratic orator from Burbank, made hit
in his sharp and witty little speech ad-
dressed mainly to the young Democrats.
Colonel Hewitt was the next on the
list, and was received with much ap-
plause. He didn't soy much. He did
not have TO, as everybody knows the
colonel and wha, he has saved In the
administration Of his Office to the county,
and it is certain he will be retained.
DR.. j. j. Choate, candidate for coroner
made very short speech. but such a
favorable impression that it is dollars to
snow balls that his opponent, DR.. Cam
boil, despite bis maturing into citizen
ship one year ahead of time, will be
given ample time to dig up the sheke!s
and pay for that half barrel Of whisky
that Skolasticus tells about.
Judge Chapman, candidate for superior
Judge, was introduced, and gracefully
excused himself from making political
speech.
J. H. Ardis, candidate for assembly,
Seventy-second district, made speech
covering about everything that was of
any possible interest to the people OF his
district, and by his courteous treatment
of his opponents for the same office
made votes.
Captain Maccabe, of Los Angeles
wound up the evening, and the eloquen
remarks of the gentleman held the audi
cnce in their seats until the last word
was uttered
