Hnw He Will Helm the East

Major Mckinley seems to be pretty
good political manager. He is giving
little or nothing in the way of cabinet
appointments to the east while he is
honorng the west in a manner almost,
If not quite unknown before. But the
east will not grumble. He will give that
section the benefit of high tariff sched-
ues which are a detriment to the west,

All efforts to induce the acute Judge

judgeship in the federal court and take
his chances with Major Mckinley as

Goff prefers a pleasant, lucrative and

LOYAL LEGION LOVE FEAST
The Elements Could Not Damp Their
Patriotic Ard0r
A Banquet Enjoyed at Santa nonica-Eio-
quence and Wit-Poeticai Tribute
to the Navy

The Loyal league held its annual
gathering at Santa Monica yesterday,
and a more patriotic meeting never took
place in Southern California. From the
time the solitary pair of delegates from
San Francisco were met at the Arcade
depot at 80 until the parting at Fourth
and Spring streets last night, dry mo-
ment was not experienced.
On account of the elements both here
and in San Francisco, there was not as
large an attendance as was expected.
The party, composed of % members,
took passage upon the Santa Monica
Electric railroad at $3.50, arriving at their
destination about an hour and fifteen
minutes later. Here they indulged in
strolls, patriotic songs around Bob Eek
ert's pleasant fireplace, viewing the
ocean and playing the nickel-in the-slot
machines, and making merry in general
until the announcement for dinner was
made with neat and appropriate little
speech by Major H. 7. Lee.
After due justice had been done to the
sumptuous fare, the evening was spent
in toasts and songs.
Major H. T. Lee gave a toast to the
presidents of the United States, present,
past and to come.
Col w. r. Smedberg was then called
upon and declared that they intended 10
give up the old forms of banqueting and
making merry, now that they were all
growing old, and would hereafter, in
stead, read solemn papers and prepare
for the future campaign. The colonel
said that twenty men promised to come
down from san Francisco and attend the
meeting with him, but remained at home
at the last moment on account of threat
ening weather He, with Col. J. r. F'ui
Ter, came, however, with the best wishes
of all their northern comrades. Then the
colonel toasted to "The Father of Our
Country, Gen George Washington"
Col Fuller was next given the floor.
His subject was The Men Who Sacri-
feed Their Lives to Save the Old Flag"
His speech was short but neat and very
appropriate, winding up with round of
applause.
