RALLIES IN THREE WARDS.
Candidates on the Union Ticket Double
Up on Meetings.

Three very lively municipal owner
ship meetings were in full blast last
evening at the points of what on the map
would be large triangle. One was in
the Fourth ward in Pinel hall at Pico
Heights, a second was in Dalton's hall
at Washington street ana Central ave-
nue. in the Sixth ward, and the third
was in Painters hall on Also street in
the Eighth ward. All were we'll attend
ed and most of the candidates on the
union ticket managed to pay a f1ying
visit to two of them.
SIXTH WARD
BY the way the Sixth warders filed in
to Dalton's hall it would appear that M
p. Snyder and l.. NJ Grider-the latter
the choice of that ward for the council
on every ticket except the Republican
were two of the most popular men in
the city. Among business men these
gentlemen are always at home, for the
business records of each are such as
to recommend them for ability and re-
liability.
Mr.. Snyder re affirmed his position on
the water question and his attitude on
matters in general affecting the citys
interests and was vigorously applauded,
and he was ably sustained by George w.
Knox and j. l.. Fulkerson, each of whom
gave business mans view of the issues
of the local campaign.
Candidates Judson r. Rush, A. M.
Salyer. s. F.. Fulton, ]. H. Dockweiler
l.. M. Grider and w. G. Bowman were all
called upon and made talks to the point.
George D. Pessell presided over the
meeting.
FOURTH WARD.
From the Sixth ward Mr.. Snyder went
over to the Pico Heights meeting in
the Fourth ward.
He found Chairman A. Nc
Crimmon entertaining a big gathering
in Pinel hall. and his appearance be-
came signal for applause and much
enthusiasm. He was Immediately in
troduced by Mr.. McCrimmon, and eX-
planned why he opposed the attempt
to fleece the city out of SO, 100000 for the
water company's benefit.
Boyle Workman and Captain Hance
had already addressed the meeting, and
later on Messrs Long and Levering,
candidates for councilman and school
director, respectively pledged them
selves to serve their constituents to
their best interests.
Among the other speakers were Earl
Rogers and James r. Armstrong. The
former reminded all that they had to
choose between a man who had affili-
ated for years with the Southern Pacific,
and man whose ability and standing
as business man, without corporation
entanglemetns, was generally recog-
nized He also referred to Mr.. Rush g
high standing at the Los Angeles bar.
Mr.. Armstrong reviewed briefly the his
tory of the rise of the water monopoly.
and also showed that the best estimate
| made of its assets-that of the council
| committee of 1S93-credited it with 81
100000, exclusive of the franchise, and
not $3,000,000. which the company would
like to have for a system that Mr. Arm
| strong contemptuously pronounced
Junk"
EIGHTH WARD.
The Eighth ward meeting in Painters
hall on Also street was exceedingly
interesting. Captain b. r. Land pre-
sided
Among the candidates present were
| Messrs Rush, Salyer, Hutchison. Hance,
Workman and McInerney; also Mr..
+, Thomas Savage. The other speakers
| We're Earl Rogers and J. B. Fulton. Sev-
eral songs were rendered by Mr.. Jory,
who arrived from the Pico Heights meet
| ing just in time.
Mr.. Hutchison explained with much
elaboration the needs of the Eighth
ward and told how its interests would
be best subserved by the election of
municipal ownership candidates, and
Mr.. Rush made strong speech in which
he severely scored the water company
| and satirized the Republican party.
