John ]. Gosper was the first speaker
trotted out and said: etsnd squsrely
on the deep sea hsrbor question in favor
Of San Pedro. The government author
tiles have decided that this 10 the best
place for harbor and therefore il NOM
mated and elected l will stand by San
Pedro At no time in the history OF
America were its interests in a more
critical condition. Today it was battle
between foreignism and Americanism.
and 1 am in favor of absolutely restrict
ing foreign immigration for at least 10
years and thus give protection to Ameri-
can labor. We should build up a wall
ON the eastern shore Of America similar
to that built upon the Pacific coast
against the Chinese.
A voice-"Give us silver"
81 would give it to you if had it. I
am in favor of silver at a ratio of 16 to
and will do all in my power If elected to
replace silver on that basis. Applause.]

given by the reports of the government
engineers who have decided this ques-
tion."

have been accused of almost every
crime in the decalogue. | am here to-
night to say that am in accord with
the resolutions adopted here tonight. l
am for barbor at San Pedro because
the government engineers have re.
ported in favor OF San Pedro, and
az l have been accused of being
a tool of the Southern Pacific road,
| now serve notice on that compsny that
go long as the govern ment engineers re-
port stands for San Pedro 1 stand with
it. Further, l am in favor of the gov

GOVERNOR SHELDON ON SILVER.
Ex-Gov. L. A. Sheldon stated that
several friends had pushed his name as
a candidate, and to that extent he was
before the people. The great problem
before the people was how to find en-
ployment for our workingmen. Every
man possessing silver bullion should be
permitted to 20 to the minis and get it
coined. Silver should be made legal
tender for all sume less than $40. He
was in favor of protection as an absolute
means to protect American labor. On the
hsrbor question he WAS with the en-
gineers OF the United States government,
and whatever they said would guide
him.

Judge ]. W. Mckinley, who was pres
ent, was called up. and expressed his
thanks and qualification for the honor
conferred on him. He stated il he were
elected an associate justice, and if any
Los Angeles citizens had suits in the su-
preme court. they could have no better
chance OF winning them than any other
citizens of California. He would dis
charge the duties OF the Office with scru-
puious fidelity and unswerving honesty.
