LAST GUNS ARE FIRED
IN THE PASADENA POLITICAL
CAMPAIGN
Non-Partisans and Republicans Both
Hold Meetings-Social and
Personal Notes

PASADENA, April 9.-(Oflce. of The
Herald, 5S East Colorado street) The
Non-partisan meeting in the Tabernacle
this evening was well attended, and while
it was not noisy demonstration 1t was
in keeping with the quiet and orderly
campaign now drawing to close. c. c.
Browr$ called the meeting to order and
introduced William E. Cox as chairman.
Messrs. Stevenson, Hoag, Wooster,
Walker, Richardson, Patton, Willett,
Keyes, Cahill, Hamilton, Fay. Pinney,
Buflxin and Mcpherson were invited to
seats on the platform.
Mr.. Cox said the meeting reminded
him of his boyhood days, when he used
to go coon hunting. While the Non
partisans might not be as noisy as the
other side he had noticed that the dog
that barked the most and made the most
| fuss was not the one to tree the coon.
He enumerated some of the needs Of the
city in the way on parks, attention to
the public health and various other mat
ters, referring particularly to the en-
forcement of ordinance 220.
G. j. Willett was then introduced, and
in opening his remarks said that the
present crisis in the affairs of the coun
try, had demonstrated that when there
are great questions to be settled and i'm
pOrtant issues at stake involving the
whole country, there is no north, no
south, but a united country. Regardless
of party, Democrats, Republicans Popu
lists, Prohibitionists, disappear in uni
ted American people. SO it should be in
our city affairs. All should unite in work
ing for the best interests of the city,
without politics entering into the matter
at all. AS long as the members of a GER
tain party, because it is in the majority,
attempt to bar out all citizens who do not
train with them, just so long will large
number of citizens be practically de-
barred from participat ton in the affairs
Of the municipality.
Letters were read from A. K. Marsh
and William Stanton, stating that they
were unable to be present but were in
hearty sympathy with tho partisan
movement and giving their reasons
therefor Also letter from A.HG. Keyes
giving his reasons for supporting the
Non-partisan ticket.
Other speakers were DR.. Eli Fay and
D. J. Mcpherson, each Of whom reviewed
the situation, predicting a great victory
for the Non-partisan movement.
Indications are that the partisan
ticket will be elected.
REPUBLICANS LAST GUN

in Auditorium hall, at which about two
hundred were present. Ward B. Row

of the entertainment of the evening.
Rev. Mr.. Kelley (coloreO making the
most entertaining address. The several
speakers made five minute talks, or at
least the talks were supposed to be of
five minutes duration, though they last
ed somewhat longer. B. w. Hahn, the
| first speaker, attacked Messrs. Brown
| and Simmons OF the Non-partsan camp,
accused them Of much mud-slinging, and
while repeatedly asserting that the Re-
publicanS never engaged in that pas
time, plastered those gentlemen pretty
thoroughly with wet dirt. Mr.. Hahn's
speech was supposed - be on "Our Par
ty." Ed Lockett was announced to speak
upon "Cuba and the American Flag"
He made a highly patriotic and fiowery
address which was received with ap-
plause. Mr.. Dobbns remarked that he
was not political speaker, but he made
