SANTA ANA SILVERITES
An Enthusiastic n.eting Thursday Night.
Convincing Speeches

An Enthusiastic 7eeting Thursday Night.
Convincing Speeches
Between 800 and 1000 persons attended
the Bryan free silver club meeting
Thursday evening at Spurgeon hall,
Santa Ana.
President ]. A. Boothy called the meet
ing to order and made fitting speech.
He was followed by the campaign
singer, Col. Tobias, who electrified the
audience with his songs.
Hon. S. A. Waldron followed with
facts and figures and made one of the
most convincing speeches ever listened
to in Santa Ana. Mr.. Waldron is prac-
tical and logical debater. One cannot
sit and unbiasedly listen to plain state
ments and illustrations of Mr.. Waldron
without coming to the conclusion that
he is presenting the money question of
the day in a practical and convincing
manner.
This club has membership Of about
four hundred and in the near future ex-
pect to have 1000 names on it's rolls.

SERENADERS CAME TO GRIEF
The Seventh Regiment Military Band
Locked Up
Serenaded Chief of Police Glass and He Threw
Them In the Bnstile, But the
Band Played On

There was an abundance of life about
the new police station yesterday. Wis.,
itors continued to pour in. and police
men in undress uniforms and prisoners
devoid of Oregon boots continued to
cope with the proposition of cleaning
up and settling down, thereby keeping
up ceaseless din.
The turmoil was increased at 80 p.
m. when the Seventh Regiment Mill
tary band put in an appearance, with
gaudy uniforms and glistening instru-
ments, and proceeded to make the air
vibrate with the strident strains OF Hail
to the Chief. The big chief. to wit, John
NJ. Glass, blockaded the main entrance
with his portly frame and made a grand
salaam. When the musicians We're out
of wind the chief lifted up his voice and
delivered an address of welcome and
invited Director George Cam and his
aggregation of artists to step inside the
castle walls and gaze upon the splen-
dor contained therein. The guileless
musicians accepted the invitation and
were ensnared. all same the innocent
fly that ventured into the wickedSpiders
paror. A squad of officers, at the chiefs
command rounded up the players of
wind and reed instruments and beaters
of tinkling cymbals and sounding drums
and corraled them in one of the steel
tanks of the city bastile.
All manner of charges were preferred
against the hapless musicians. Papa"
Berth was accused of scorching down
Spring street with boomers on; George
Darby was charged with carrying a con-
cealed weapon to wit, a tambourine;
c. L. Bagley of the Y. NJ. c. A. was
booked for being intoxicated on milk
shake; Billy Meade for purloining sun
dry packages of Schweitzer case; Dave
Parten for assaulting a member of a
Chinese orchestra; Theodore Berth for
breach OF promise to take his best girl
to Santa Monica last Sunday, and so
on. Director Cam himself was locked
up for conspiring to induce everybody
to go to Westlake park Sunday after
moons to hear the music of his band,
instead Of patronizing the neighboring
beaches. Even Col. John r. Berry did
not escape. He was incarcerated for
high treason in having deserted the
g. o. p. in order to worship at the free
silver shrine.
After brief Imprisonment the musi-
clans purchased thir liberty by PLAYING
several selections for the edification of
the regular inmates of the city Jail.
The band concluded its afternoon en-
tourage by serenading The Herald.
Large crowds followed the musicians
ana thelr open air performances were
enthusiastically applauded

The executive committee of the Dem

hold a meeting at 2:30 this afternoon at
the office of Chairman A. NJ. Stephens.
in the Law building .at the corner of
Temple and New High streets.
The meeting Will be most important
one, and it is desirious that every mem
Der attend. There are some questions
coming up for decision which involve
the party interests and which call for
deliberate action,
The time of the assembling of the
Democratic county convention to nom
mate a judicial, legislative and a sup
ervisoral ticket will be considered.
The committeeman are practically
unanimous for fusion with the Populists
and Free Silverites straight through on
every proposition. AS yet no Democrat
either on or off the county central COM
mittee, has been found who opposes fus-
ion. The Popuists are all in favor of
it, so far as known, and it is already as
good as an accomplished fact All that
is left is the arrangement of the details
which can be easily effected as soon as
the two conventions meet.
The delegates to the Populists and
the Democratic conventions are already
elected, and all that it is necessary to do
is to notify them of the hour of the con-
vening of the conventions.
The Populists and Democrats propose
this year to capture as many legislative
positions as they can. The Republican
machine is endeavoring to defeat Sen
ator George c. Perkins and supplant him
with a gold bug Republican, who will
also be a subservient tool of the railroad
company. Senator Perkins is for silver
and he is to be retired.
In this county the word has gone forth
that only such Republicans are to be
elected to the legisla ture as are opposed
to the return of Senator Perkins.
In order to do what they can to secure
the election of friend of the white me-
tai in place of Perkins, the Democrats.
Populists and Free Silver Republicans
will unite to down the Republican ma
chine. and elect only men to the legisla-
ture who will support fere silver man
for the United States senate.

Notes Of the Local Campaign

The bulldozing tactics adopted by the
great corporations to compel their en-
ployes to vote against William ]. Bryan
and silver coinage and for Mckinley and
the gold are being used here in Los An
giles and in all Southern California right
now to an extent greater than any one
save the employees themselves have
any idea of.
Th truth of the matter is the Re-
publican managers here on the coast
realize the desperate condition in which
the party is and every effort is therefore
being put forth to turn the tide against
silver and Bryan. They have admitted
on the quiet that Mckinley cannot carry
the state. However, they are going to
try and do something with the aid of the
great corporations and more particu-
larly the, Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany.
Just at present there is being handed
to every employe of the Southern Pa
cifc company in this city and through
out this part of the state little yellow
slip of paper reading:
APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP.
/, the undersigned, an employe of the
Southern Pacific railway, hereby make
application for membership in the Rail-
waymen's Sound Money Club of Los
Angeles, and DO hereby pledge myself
to use my vote and influence to defeat
the FREE COINAGE OF SILVER at
the coming election.

tIonaI Banks of BrattlebOro.

NIOhhA hhnhh u
The New York Financier published Aug.
81, its annual roll of honor of the national
banks of the United States. This roll in
cludes in numerical ratio all national
banks which have accumulated surplus
equal to and in excess of capital, and Is
one of the most interesting and intricate
bank compilations made in the United
States. The number of banks entitled to
a position on the roll is 343 out of total
of 3715 in the entire national system.
Brattleboro has two banks on the roll.
There were 3715 banks in operation,
under national charters, of these no less
than 343 are entitled to positions on the
roll. This means that out of every 100
banks doing business NJ deserve honorable
mention, or to put it still another way,
one out of each 10 As banks is entitled to
distinction.
The standing of the Brattleboro bank at
the time of the report was as follows:
Vermont national, capital, $4,000;
surplus and undivided profits, 1921, 702 /;
percentage of surplus and undivided prof
its to capital, S194.47
Peoples national, capital, 500, 000 sur
plus and undivided profits, 800, 620; per
centage of surplus and undivided profits To
capital, lOOO2.
In the list of 3715 national banks in the
country the Vermont national ranks Goth,
and the Peoples national 335th. These
two banks are the only ones in the state
that have place on the roll of honor. OF
the New England states Massachusetts, has
nine banks on the roll, Maine three, New
Hampshire and Rhode Island one each
and Connecticut none. New York and
Pennsylvania are at the head of the list
with 6j and 90 respectively.
