SENATOR WHITES RECEPTION

Senator Stephen NJ White will today
return to the constituency which he has
so loyalty and ably served as member
of the upper house of the federal con-
gress. The return will be signalized by
a reception which ought to, and The
Herald believes will, develop into an
enthusiastic ovation by the people of Los
Angeles, regardless of political affilia-
ton.
If ever a public servant deserved a
warm welcome from his employers, the
people, Senator White is that man. He
fought a good fight and won. OF the
long list of public men of California who
have met the Southern Pacific and it's
resourceful and INSCRIPTIONS head in
combat, the senator from Southern Cal
ifornia alone has come out of the con-
fiict bearing the laurels of victory. The
power of purchase, the threat of poIit-
ical annihilation, the intrigues of the
shrewdest and strongest lobby that had
gathered in Washington for many a
day, neither of these nor all of them
combined could avail against the in
tegrity, the logic. the industry and the
eloquence of the man who will be re-
ceived by his fellow citizens today. He
comes bearing the prestige and the
fruits of success achieved only with the
weapons of honor.
In evidencing their appreciation Of

Senator Whites fidelity and work by
public manifestation such as has been
planned for today, the people do some
thing more than give expression to

ferent to public esteem and popular
plaudits, and the proof that this esteem

Senator Hansbrough does not seem to

little bit. This is evidenced by the
statement, in the course of some re-
marks on what the financial plank of
the national Republican platform should
be, that ''all the rhetorical claptrap
about honest dollars and parity and
'untarnished honor used in the construc-
tion of former platforms should be left
out" With talk like this the senator
carves the Mckinley money plank an
