Los ANaELEs HERALD: OCTOBER 81

our government is now SO honeycombed
with. vice. corruption and unholy polit
ical lust that If some remedy was not
speedily applied 1t would fall of it's own
weight; and the remedy to be applied, in
my judgment, is the emancipation of the
women of the nation and injecting this
rev element into politics, allowing the
intelligence instead of the licentious-
Eess Of the nation to become the domin-
ating power. / also spoke of the educa-
tional qualifications. / am not optimis-
tic enough to hope that the millennium
Will come as soon as women can vote.
Indeed, l fear that even with their help
1T will be long before we bring to pass
the reforms we so much cherish. Mr..
Editor. have been twitted often by my
pleasant California friends in regard to
my southern brogue and expressions.
This Is not to be wondered at when
write and often speak the darky dialect
so common in the south, and 1 plead
guilty to the charge of occasionally in
my platform work using American
slang. Is this to be wondered at when
my object lessons in oratory are taken
from such noted speakers as Judge Phil
lips, Judge Utley Hon. M F. Taylor,
Judges Lamme and Mcguire. Gen. Jones,
Mr.. Savage. General w. Knox, Con-
gressman Barlow and scores of others !?
In conclusion, allow me to state am not
ashamed of my southern brogue, birth
or education, and whatever Is good
within me I attribute not only to my
much-loved and widowed mother, but
in measure to the kind, gentle spirit
and teachings Of my dear old black
nanny, and through the turmoil of this
political campaign steals the sweet mu-
sic of her croonings as thirty years ago
she held me in her black arms and lulled
me, smiling, to sleep.

ough the investigation the stronger will

No public act of his needs any defense.
He always has been and is today a fear
less champion of the rights of the peo-
pie.
He is unalterably- opposed to the fund
ing bill, and believes in the foreclosure
of the United States mortgage of the
Union and Central Pacific railroads; he
is an earnest advocate of the deep sea
harbor at San Pedro to be absolutely free
and open to the traffic of the world; and
that this government should construct
own and operate the Nicaragua canal
at the earliest practicable date, and he
is a sincere believer In the ability of the
United States to establish the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to /, without foreign con-
sent. WILL s. FAWCETT,

ELECTORAL TICKET.
Some Valuable Instruction and Infor.
nation for Voters.

When you go to vote, just one week
from today, if you wish to cast your bal
lot for William J. Bryan for president
and for all that he stands for and repre-
sents, vote for one of the following tick
cts, captioned as Indicated
Democratic electors-J. w. Martin, Jo
Hamilton, s. I. Allard, C. W. Thresher,
William Craig, d. T. Fowler, M. r. Mer-
ritt, J. v. Webster, Daniel Mckay.
PEOPLES party electors-J. v. Webster.
Daniel Mckay j. w. Martin. 8. l. AL
lard. 10 Hamilton, d. T. Fowler, William
Craig, M. r. Merritt, G. w. Thresher.
1t will be noted that the names under
both party headings are the same, but
they are arranged in different order.
The object Of this is to deceive the
voter and mislead him. Every voter
can vote for nine electors under either
of the party headings, but do not try
to vote for both. Mark each one of the
nine names-no more. Remember that
you are compelled to mark every elec-
tor you vote for. so you must mark nine
Pay no attention to the nine names
on the ballot headed National Demo-
cratic Electors That is simply the
goldbug decoy ticket. Avoid 1t as you
would snake. l

fornia, will be here to plead for Hanna
and for Hanna's candidate.
All the railroad companies in this Sec
ton have turned everything loose to
make the day big one, for they are all
for Mckinley and against Bryan.
Thomas e. Reed Is national char
acter and there is great curiosity to
see and hear him speak. There Will be
a great many people in the parade who
do not intend to vote as their yellow
badges indicate.
Many a man will march in the line
today and wear a yellow badge simply
to save his position.
Reports of bulldozing, coercion and
intimidation of voters continue to come
in. The Chino Sugar company has COM
menced to discharge all of its employees
who are Bryan men. Fifty were fired
yesterday. Then the corporation comes
to Los Angeles and hires fifty Bryan
men. They go to Chino and thereby
may lose their votes.
Yesterday afternoon prominent firm
of upholsterers of North Alameda
street undertook to persuade their en-
ployes to march in the Reed-McKtnley
parade today. In spite of the hard times,
ETC., every man in the establishment re-
fused to march in any such procession.
That is the sort of men that are going to
win a political victory this year.

FOR REEDS CONFEDERATION
The Silver Republicans PROFOUND a
Series of Questions.

The following questions are submit
ted by the Free Silver Republican club
of Los Angeles, numbering 4500 MEM
Thomas B. Reed. Mr. Reed will no
doubt oblige by answering.
Q.-Is not every bond or obligation
to pay Of this government payable in
silver at the discretion of the secretary
of the treasury? Does not every COIN
age law passed since April g 1892. to the
present day SO state?
Q.-Is not every banker or dealer in
government bonds or securities sup
posed to know the law pertaining there
to before he makes purchase of them?
Off so, would 1t be dishonorable
or reputation to follow the written
and understood law Of the land?
Off the above questions are true in
Are we not following the law? If not,
then please give us your idea Of law.
Off free coinage should be success
full and the bullion value of silver not
advance, how and where are the silver
mine owners to make this great profit
of which you speak?
Off the silver mine owners make
this great profit by the rise in bullion
value of silver to $1.29.29 per ounce,
wherein and by what logic do you claim
the silver dollar to be dishonest?
Off the silver mine owner makes
this great profit at one fell swoop,"
wherein is he different from the gold
miner. who makes this profit all the
time?
Should the value of silver bullion re-
main unchanged, what would be the in
ducement for foreign silver bullion own
ers to ship us their bullion?
OFF the bullion vaiue Of silver should
increase to $1.29 per ounce, and they
should ship us their bullion, what will
they get in exchange therefor and how
are they going to get gold for 1t?
Q.-Is the treasury of the United
States and the banks Of the country go
ing into the exchange and barter busi-
ness giving gold for silver? ~
Q.-Do not statistics to July 1st, 1895
show that more than two-thirds of the
gold coins struck at the mints Of the
United States, since the first coinage act
passed by congress, April ed, 1892, have
not disappeared from circulation?
Q.-Is not the gold coin of the United
States gradually disappearing and
growing less every year?
Q.-Has not the worlds production Of
gold and silver bullion from 1873 up to
July 1st, 1896, been as follows: Gold, 1923, :
024,266 ounces; silver. 2,313. III, ,275 ounces.
Which makes a ratio of 171a ounces of
silver to ounce of gold.
Off these are facts, and they can be
proven by statistics which are at hand,
would not gold and silver have been to-
day on a parity, coined on individual
account, had not vicious legislation de-
monetized silver in 1873?
