GLENDALE MEETING

The union meeting at Glendale last night
was grand success. The hall was packed
to the doors with an enthusiastic and ap
preciative audience. The meeting was called
to order by G. II. Van Hise, who acted as
chairman. Misses Alcott, Harton, Brierley
and G. Myers, with the Eagle Rock Glee
club, furnished some good music. Messrs
Gates and Goode delivered recitations re-
garding the campaign, after which the
chairman introduced Judge Murphy, candi
date for district attorney, who spoke on
local issues showing how the district attor
ney could curtail expenses and save the tax
payers needless expense.
| c. +. Edison, candidate for the assembly,
Seventieth district, in brief speech, said
he believed candidate should go before
the people and pledge himself as to how he
would vote on questions affecting them,
stating that he would vote for man for
United States senator who would vote for
an impartial investigation of the war de-
partment, for San Pedro harbor, for money
issued by the government and not by the
banks, for absolute ownership and control
OF the Nicaraguan canal by the people of
the United States. Against refunding the
Pacific railroad debt, against substituting
gold bonds for coin bonds. In state affairs
he would vote to repeal the poll tax, would
vote to allow every person the right to hold
$1,000 worth of property exempt from taxa
tion, would vote for the consolidation of city
and county offices, civil service in county Of
fees, good roads as outlined by the state
bureau of highways.
j. r. Rush closed the meeting by touch
ing on the question of trusts, and explained
very clearly to the audience how and where
trusts affected the people, bringing them
from birth to death and patronizing monop
oles all the time. Regarding the Southern
Pacific Railroad company, the speaker made
strong point by saving the people simply
demanded that the railroad should quit
running the politics of the state and go to
running railroads. Single tax is not and
cannot be an issue. Corporations that are
growing and over-reaching themselves are
bound to topple and destroy themselves,
thus giving the people chance to right Tor
themselves the wrongs they see before them.
ELECTION WORK
1t is currently reported that $4,000 has
city and county alone for Use during the
closing weeks of the state fight.
The union forces, having no fund to draw
upon other than the voluntary services and
contributions OF the members, have en-
deavored to meet the influx of coin by re-
newed efforts upon the part of unpaid
speakers and unpaid clerical workers.

county and every precinct in the city has at

POLLING THE PRECINCTS
The union forces have about completed a
poll of the voters in all the precincts in the
county. This has been done not so much
to ascertain the sentiment of the people,
for that is pretty well known, and the Ma
euire men are more than satisfied, but the
poll was made in order to prevent fraudu-
lent voting.
There were some very funny things shown
by the poll. For instance, in one store in
this city, where there are sixteen employees,
when polled in 1896, showed IA voters for
Mckinley and for Bryan. This time the
