r. J. Adcock summed up the work OF
the campaign and predicted a solid
Democratic vote at the polls today
which would, he believed, result in
victory. The meetings Of the campaign
had been we'll attended and the audi.
snces showed an interest in the real
issues OF the campaign which demon
strated that they we're alive to the ne
cessity of better men in Office. Mr..
Adcock gave brief review Of the atti-
tude o! the Democratic party upon
national and local Issues, and his re-
marks were we'll received.
Will A. Harris addressed the audience
briefly, referring to the close OF the
campaign and charscterizing 1t as re.
markable campaign. One OF the re-
markabls things that had come Under
his notice was that which had hap
paned last week at Republican meet
ing. Henry L. Gage presided at the
meeting. 1t was only lew weeks
been defeated for chairman OF
che county convention. and had
attempted to have resolution passed
almost in the language OF the constitu'
tion pledgng the convention to civil
and religious liberty. He wondered at
Mr.. GnRe's language in presiding at
the meeting, and If civil and religioue
liberty was one OF the grand principles
Of the Republican party.
He referred to Mr.. George Knights
reference in his speech to England. in
which he said he could take San Ber-
nardino county and wipe out the little
devil, and wondered ii that was one OF
the principles OF the Republican party.
Mr.. Harris made bright and witty
illusions to the Inconsistencies OF the
position of the Republican party on
the great issues before the country,
and the wide differences between their
promises and performances. He be-
lisvsd the depression through which
the country had passed. but from which
it was emerging, was due to unnatural
trade laws end the insatiste greed for
wealth. An unseliish policy was better
for the masses.
Major Mckinley had said recently
that caygoes OF wool were coming from
Australia and Mr.. Harris saw in this
hopeful sign. Instead OF running the
wooden industry he believed this meant
that We would manufacture woolen
goods We now buy from England, and
give employment to American laborers.
The speaker referred to Mr.. McLsch-
lan's statement that Mckinley was the
best hated man In Europe. because his
act had put out their furnace fires. He
said that he did not believe in the doc
trine OF hate thus expressed, and neith-
or did Le believe that the policy that
had thus resulted was one that benefited
this country.
Mr.. Harris referred to Mr.. Huuting-
toms deadly grip on San Francisco. and
said he did not b.l:eve in sympathy for
people that allow themselves to be
crused to the earth. But Mr.. Hunting
ton is trying to get his grip on Los An
geles and its commerce. Ii the people
of this section allow themselves to be
gripped they will have themselves to
blame. The great commercial question
for Los Angeles is the harbor question.
The Democratic party has had the cour-
age to challenge these great corporations,
and she Republican party is dominated
by the Southern Pacific railroad He
hoped the people wouid vote for George
s Patton. fApplause In doing go

one of the big cities OF the world.
Mr.. Harris had hoped that the cam
psign would be passed through without
slander, but he had not counted on the
depths to which Dan Burns would 20.

ever stamp out the elimy tricks and
slander which had been resorted to in
the effort OF Dan Burns to defeas Mr..
Budd.
The speaker made pleasant and genial
references to the county candidates, be-
ginning with Col. Il. Il. Hewitt, who was
on the stage. saying OF him that it would
be one OF the plsasantest acts OF his life
when he went up to the polls today and
voted for him. These remarks elected
the warmest kind of applause.
In . glowing peroration upon the prin-
ciples Of the party Mr.. Harris said that
the Democratic party never stood upon
Q prouder platform than it does in this
year. 1t was battling for the grand old
republic along tho same lines as Jeffer-
son and jackson. Before closing he re-
isrred in ecathing terms to the unmanly
and cowardly attacks which had been
made on Mrs. Kate t. Galpin.
Chairman Del Valle addressed him.
self briefly and very eloquently to the
aspersions which had been cast upon
Mr.. George s. Patton. He could speak
from more intimate knowledge as chair.
man of the Democratic state convention
than almost any one else.
There never had been an act as noble
or as manly as the vote of the man who
gave San Luis Obispo's vote in the con-
ventioc.
That gentleman was the attorney for
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
vt San Luis Obispo. The influence OF
the corporation was brought to bear to
make him vote against MIR. Patton. He
told them that they could get any one
else they wanted for attorney, but he
would be true to his pledges, and he did
