POMONA, Oct. IL Saturday night wit
messed the >largest and most enthusiastic
meeting OF the campaign. The opera house
was crowded to the very street entrance. a
great many being unable to gain admission,
Senator White was the speaker of the
evening. The following candidates were
aid, q. H. Lee and George A. Carter. the
two last named gentlemen being residents
OF Pomona.
senator White made a strong plea for u
free ballot untramrpeled by corporate infiu-
ences and uninfuenced by biased EMPLOYERS
whose sole aim is to control politics to fur
ther their own interests to the detriment
OF the public good.
He favored protecting the rights and
property Of the Southern Pacific the same
as those Of any other individual or corpora
ton, but insisted that this corporation must
Keep out OF politics and strongly repudiated
its attempt at dominating the politics of this
state to the detriment of the farmers and
working classes generally He made a
strong appeal to the common sense of his
hearers and showed up the fiimsy single tax
arguments of the Republican stump orators,
who, he asserted, knew nothing about single
tax anyhow, and notwithstanding that they
knew the constitution of the state and were
well aware that it could not possibly be an
issue, nevertheless were endeavoring to mis-
lead the people from the all.absorbing ques-
tion, the right of an alien corporation to die
tate the politics and laws of this state and
to elect to the United States senate such
man as DE Young. He also replied to a re-
cent remark of that ex-congressman from
Pasadena, who stated the other evening
that he wanted to know what Senator
White had ever done in congress, by saying
that when that gentleman from Pasadena
was in congress II took greater portion Of
the senator's time watching this unreliable
for an hour and a quarter. closing with
beautiful peroration to the boys who fought
and who died in the recent war.

GLENDORA, Oct. ia large and en-
thusiastic meeting in behalf OF James G..
Mcguire and the other candidates upon the
union ticket was held at this place on Sat-
urday evening, at which timely addresses
were given by Clarence A. Miller, Democrat,
and BY Y. s.. G. Todd, Silver Republican,
both OF Los Angeles. In each address the
cause of the ticket was eloQuently and ably
rpresented and expounded.
Those who were at the meeting have since
repeatedly expressed their satisfaction and
pleasure at having the questions of the day
90 well explained. Much was done by the
speakers at the meeting to disrA The mis-
representations indulged in by Republican
newspapers and orators in regard to The
single tax: II was clearly shown that not
only had the single tax doctrine been mis-.
represented upon the part of the Repub-
licans, but that it is not and cannot he nm
issue in the present campaign. II is the i'm.
preston Of the people who attended the
meeting that il Ia advisable to have tha.o
