The Two Meetings Held in the City Last
Evening Teach Lesson

At Hazards pavilion last evening there
were not over 500 people atrthe outside
to listen to the arguments presented for
the gold standard by few orators. The
meeting was utterly devoid of enthusi-
asm and it was with difficulty that a
cheer was secured for Mckinley.
At the wigwam, where there have been
meetings every night for four weeks,
there were over 5000 people gathered to
hear the silver doctrine propounded by
Judge A. j. Utley. The enthusiasm of
the crowd knew no bounds. They ap-
plauded the. speaker to the echo ano
manifested in numerous ways that they
were heartily and enthusiastically for
Bryan and silver.
The meeting was only character
istic one for this campaign, while the
same might be said of the gold standard
meeting at the pavilion.

ACTIVE SILVER REPUBLICANS
How Their Membership Is Increasing
and the Enthusiasm Shown

If one carries the idea that the "sil-
yer sentiment is dying out in Los Ange-
les." he should at least visit the head
before telling any Of his neighbors that
such an impression is true.
OF all the busy places in this city yes
terday, the headquarters of the Silver
Republican club presented by far the
busiest scene Of any in Los Angeles
The utter disgust of great number of
Silver Republicans to the yellow badges
showed itself yesterday to a marked de-
gree, and caused greater gain to the
roll of the Silver Republican club than
has yet taken place In any single day
since the clubs organization.
The roll of the club stood yesterday
morning, 1926, and at the close of the
rooms last evening the number showed
1917, gain for yesterday of 319 members.
Secretary Cooper yesterday afternoon
sent the following telegram to Mr.. Bry-
an, who spoke last night at Terre Haute
Ind:
THE Silver Republican club Of Los
Angeles county, now 1900 strong, sends
hearty greetings"
At the same time similar telegram
was sent to Chairman Jones of the Dem
ocratic national committee at Chicago.
In addition to the great gain in mem
bership yesterday, reports sent to the
club are more than satisfactory from all
sections of the county.
Judge e. H. Lamme, the president of
the club, left yesterday afternoon for
an extended campaign tour of the north
ern counties during the next ten days.
Judge Lamme has been sent on his mis-
sion under the auspices of the club and
no doubt great crowds will greet the dis
tinguished citizen at all points where he
speaks. Last night Judge Lamme spoke
at Tehachapi, and at $50 Secretary
Cooper sent the following wire, which
will no doubt show to the people up
north that the Silver Republican club Of
Los Angeles Is strictly in it,
"E. H. Lamme, Tehachapi, CaL-The
clubs hearty greetings to our presi-
dent. Our roll tonight numbers 1916 and
still growing.
rs. H. BOYNTON,
chairman Executive Committee.
"F. J. COOPER, Secretary"
If anything like yesterdays gains are
made today 1t will be safe to predict
that the roll of the club will be not less
than 1000 by election day.

every lover Of truth and admirer Of true
womanliness. Mrs. Willard will follow
out the line Of argument pursued Tues
day evening, beginning with the subject
Of falling prices.

BULLDOZING METHODS
How the Republicans Are Arranging for
Their Big Parade


All manner Of mean and petty coercion
is being used to get as many as possible
into the Republican parade next Tues
day.
Employers in instances are compelling
their clerks and other help to wear the
yellow badges and directing them to
turn out and march in the Hanna COL
umn.
An instance was reported last evening
at the Silver Republican headquarters
which for right down smallness excels
anything that has yet came to light.
A certain undertaken has gone to all
the hack drivers he employs at funerals
from time to time and notified them that
unless they turn out next Tuesday in the
parade, free of charge, he will no longer
engage them for any of his funerals.
This is pretty tough, but the party MAX
ing the charge is ready to establish it's
proof with affidavits.

THE USUAL FROST
Messrs. McLachlah, Bulla and Valentine
Meet With Chilly Reception

Candidates McLachlan, Bulla and Val
entine held forth last evening in the
large movable tent of the Republicans
near the junction Of Pico and Pearl
streets before an audience of 1853 per-
sons, including the ladies and boys
There were not to exceed 100 voters in
the tent. The fairest, most modest and
therefore the best speech Of the evening,
was that Of Mr.. Valentine, on the general
duties Of an assemblyman. He made a
good impression. Mr.. Bulla spoke main
ly In criticism of what he called the
Chicago PLATFORM" denying that it Is
In ay sense Democratic. He misrepre-
sented 1t in spirit and in letter. falsely
declaring 1t a revival of the doctrine of
states rights, which was effectually
Killed and buried during the war Of the
rebellion. He argued long against the
principle that the states should be free
from the unasked interference of the
federal govrnment, apparently forget
ting that the constitution itself prohibits
such interference. Mr.. Bulla also con-
demned the party for intimating in its
platform that courts have no right to
.legislate by injunction" and talked a
long time about the exceeding danger Of
est court of the country in its opinion
on the constitutionality of the income
tax. Mr.. Bulla himself was SO strenu-
Gus In his efforts to sustain court de-
cisions that he voted and labored, so he
said, in the assembly against the re-
installment Of Lawyer Philbrook, who
had been disbarred by the supreme cotrt
of California for telling the truth in a
legal document, rejecting on a man who
afterwards became Judge of the court.
Courts, Mr.. Bulla declared. are sacred
and cannot be attacked without danger
to the government itself, Of which it is
the principal part-the part which de-
cides whether the other two parts, the
legislative and executive, have or have
not exceeded their prerogatives.
Mr.. McLachlan's address was devoted
to defense of his course in congress on
the harbor improvement bill, and the
funding bill, closing with an explana-
ton of his position on free silver. In re-
lation to the last he said the Republican
party ara party never favored free and
unlimited coinage, but that few poll
ticians put such a thing into platform
adopted at Sacramento and called 1t Re
publican doctrine. For his part he had
never made free silver speech in his
life, though he was sorry to say he had
silently acQuiesced in the platform de-
mand but was very glad when the Re-
publican national convention of 1896 re-
lieved him from further duplicity of that
kind and permitted him to express his
real sentiments, as ne is now doing. He
then proceeded to depict the terrible con-
dition that must follow the attempt to
force 50-cent dollars into circulation, thus
disturbing business and bringing ruin
to all classes, but more especially to the
poor The rich, Of course, are able to
take care of themselves, but the laborers
of the land are the ones for whom his
(McLachlan's) heart bIeeds.
The addresses were all received cold
ly, and with very few marks Of approval,
the main applause Of the evening being
given to the singing by a quartet.

Autograph Hats Now tho Rage with Cot-

One of the new fads that started WI

ion of wearing autograph hats OIL
sees them everywhere. for collega -
in other colleges have taken it,
nave scattered themselves here ai4.sa
there among the summer girls. Tho
hats are made of white canvas, with
stitched brims. Names can be written
in ink anywhere on the surface. One
of these had several names of WELL
known men written upon it, among
them the man who pulled stroke for
the Cornell eight that won such glori-
Gus victory over Pennsylvania, Harvard
and Columbia in that memorable boat
race at PoughlSeepsie. ,
Sentimental young men collect the
names of their swe.thearts, thoJrrts-
this has its drawbacks, because there Is
always the chance that the last girl will
want to know all about the other girls
whose names she finds written on the
hat before hers The words are usual
" printed, though script makes pref
tier hat and looks less like an advertfs-
ing device. To see stalwart young coll
lcgc men stalking along with these hats
on gives one the impression of one of
those imPecunious individuals who
march up and down upon the business
streets with a printed placard on thetr-
backs to the effect that "a regular DIN
ner can be had at the Blank dairy lunch
for 20 cents"
However, the fad Is growing. and by
fall the white hats will be black.
