CANDIDATES' RECEPTION
Hickory Club Entertains the Nominees
on tho City Ticket

The Hickory club rendered a reception to
the candidates on the union party municipal
ticket last night. The date selected was un-
fortunate, as it conllicted with previously
arranged date for candidates caucus which
was held in the Office of the mayor.
The meeting was opened by Earl Rogers
in one of his Characteristic speeches, only
he usually tells to mixed audience while
on the stump. He made lively, interest
ing and entertaining talk, and at its close
Edward Mckinley, aged l4,was introduced
for song. Young Mckinley possesses a
voice Of rare power and sweetness for boy
Of his years, and, if wise, he will save it un-
til older and, by training, it will make him
Judge Schultze followed in a brief ad-
dress, making some excellent points and
telling some excellent stories, and then T. j.
Mccarthy, "thd wild Irishman," and his
fiddle were introduced and for quarter of
an hour he kept the feet Of the boys moving
to the measure of his music.
As the candidates meeting had not ad-
Trask, the vice chairman, as the presiding
officer, and that gentleman, after q very
brief address, adjourned the audience for
refreshments which the Hickory club had
on hand.
During the recess the candidates arrived,
but the hour was late and hence the speeches
were curtailed. Mayor Snyder, Judge
Wright, Robert A. Todd, Capt. Hance,
Messrs. Winans, Keller, Young and others
spoke briefly and the reception adjourned.
The candidates' meeting was more in the
nature of preliminary talk as to what
should be done in the city fight and how to
do it, than meeting of final results. Natur-
ally it was a secret conference and all the in
formation vouchsafed was that the candi-
dates were agreed upon all points and would
work together.

Hunters and the Hunted

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
In one of his nice, fowery speeches, deliv-
cred while journeying, in almost imperial
grandeur, through Iowa, on his return from
the Omaha exposition, President Mckinley
said: "The job hunts the man now, and not
the man the job"
This would be welcome news if it were
true, but unfortunately it is not true. 1t is
SO far from the actual truth as to read like
q paragraph from one Of the campaign
speeches made by Henry'T. Gage or General
Barnes. When Mr.. Mckinley made that
speech at least one million men in the United
States were, and they are now, honestly
looking for job at which they can earn
a living. 1t is probably true that occasion
ally, in certain localities, some sort of job
remains open a few hours before it is taken
by satisfactory applicant; but even such
instances are extremely rare. Where one
job hunts for man, hundred thousand
men hunt for jobs. And they generally hunt
in vain for a long time before finding even
a temporary chance to earn a living and
then they are confronted with the sad fact
that, they are depriiving Others, equally
needy, of the coveted opportunity to work.
Not week passes but we hear of men being
driven to self-destruction because they can
not possibly obtain employment of any kind.
Perhaps the president of the United States
is so environed with the good things of this
world and the glittering panoply of his high
position that he can not see the dark side
Of our social system, nor stop to read the
facts of the situation as plain, everyday
people do. We can acquit him of falsehood
only by attributing his wild statement to
ignorance. But in either case he is inexcu-
sable. The chief magistrate of great ma
tion ought to know what he is talking about
when he addresses the people, and not mock
them with prosperity" s1ush while honest
labor is deprived of its right to employment
because bloated monopoly holds the key to
natural resources and opportunities.
If jobs are really hunting for men, doubt
less several hundred young men who are
members of our Seventh regiment, now home
again, would gladly be hit by some of those
jobs. 1 suggest that instead of depending
on the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation to find employment for them,
those worthy young men communicate with
President Mckinley at once, and inform
him of their whereabouts, so that the neg
lected jobs can find them. Such information
would, if the president is to be believed,
save the home association further trouble
in the matter, bring relief to hundreds of
honest and willing workers and stop some
neglected jobs from wandering around any
longer. X.
