| paign songs, entitled Who Are the
| Anarchists Now? and Nit. They were
| literally applauded.
| The feature of the evening in the way
| of amusement was the singing of Nc
| Kinleys Circus by Miss Andrews. whom
Judge Stephens introduced as "the lit
tie silver queen" She rendered the song
| with a dramatic force and fervor which
! took the throng by storm. She was at

looked like fairy from wonderland.

| Charles A. Barlow. Good wine needs
no bush. The voters of Los Angeles
need no history of Mr.. Barlow. No man
who goes before the people as q candi-
date in this campaign could ask for
| warmer reception or more vociferous
| welcome than that which greeted Mr..
| Barlow

man of the people, who talks plainly,
without rhetorical gymnastics or soar
| ing flights of eloquence. He believes
| the issues are serious, plain business
issues, and in a serious, plain way, Mr..
Barlow, the plain, unassuming candi-
date of the plain people speaks plainly
| to them, and they seem to like it. Mr..
Barlow said:

men: 1t is with great pleasure that
appear before you this evening and
state my position on some of the ques-
| tions of this campaign, but first let me
read you the latest edict from Canton" !"
