so-caled principles of the Examiner
who has been used as q tool by the
Examiner ever since he has been IN
office to introduce weird motions of al
kinds from demanding that the city
municipality own and control tho
Southern Pacific railroad to attempting
to drain the city's treasury to add tC
the Examiners Pasadena boulevard
fund, yesterday, In open council ano
before $50 members Of the Public owner
ship and Independence league, botf
Hearst's organs, repudlated his master
and said scathing things OF the Ex'
aminer and its publisher, Uncle Heinit
Lowenthal.
His address was directed to q lobby
filled with members of The two leagues
that Hearst has formed for his per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT and who were
sent to the council by a ens.,tiona
story of how the council was going to
steal something or other in placing be-
fore the people an amendment to the
charter to be voted on by the entire
people allowing 39-year franchises i'll
stead of twenty-one years, as the
charter now reads
FIageIIation for Heinie
was published in other Hearst papers
and brought about the assassination OF
President Mckinley" said Houghton
"This crowd is here all on account OF
Hlenie Lowenthal, silly old man who
is afraid to come before this council
and back up the assertions made in his
paper this morning. This inf1ammatory
stuff is from the same source that die
what 1t could to spoil the Shriners
fiesta. 1t is from the same pen that
sent broadcast to the world the harm
full lies about Los Angeles when Sar
Francisco was in ruins.
HE has told you that this council Is
composed of thieves and corporation
ridden hirelings, all because. PROPOSE
tion has come before this body to have
the people say whether they believe
they make a mistake when two years
ago they voted to limit franchises tc
twenty-one years. There is no PROPOSE
tion for the council to extend the lives
Of franchises. 1t Is simply to give you
chance at the next election to say
whether or not you will let the council
do so.
II introduced the 81: ear franchise
limitation and would vote against any
change. 1 will vote against it's being
placed on the official ballot, not that
am afraid of its being defeated, and
certainly not out of any consideration
for the Examiner or it's views on the
question, but because / do not think
that it should be allowed to cumber
the ballot. We have enough things to
consider as it Is.
Asks Where Money Is
But because myself and my col
leagues dare to so much as discuss theil
opinion without first consulting Uncle
Hienie Lowenthal of the Examiner We
are called all sort of names. We are
cursed and made outcasts, as far a'
the little influence that paper wields
Is able to make us.
"But Lowenthal, in this as i'm every
other thing, has shown his despicable
nature. He has worked up a great
stew and then withdrawn. The mar
who has stirred you up to this pitch
has quit. He has laid down to have
you fight his battles for him. He has
quit this as he has quit other PROPOSE
tions he has undertaken, following II
the footsteps of his master, Hearst.
1T was not so long ago that he
started an agitation for a Pasadena
boulevard. He induced me to go forth
among my friends and the business
men of the city and collect voluntary
subscriptions for his boulevard. col
lected $1,000 from you and from Others
and turned it over to him. Where Il
the boulevard? He quit! But that +
not the worst of it. Where is your
money that you subscribed for this
boulevard? Have you received one cent
OF it back? The Examiner can tell you
where it is, if it will.
Is Trouble Maker
"I was deceived into believing the
Los Angeles Examiner an instrument
for good. My eyes are opened. | know
it for an instrument for evfi. 1t stirs
up all the trouble and turmoil 1t car
and then quits.
"Of all the octopi would rather put
my head in the nav OF the Southern
Pacific and tell 1t to close its teeth
than put my reputation into the hands
of the Examiner"
President Pro TEN Hitler called Mr.
Houghton to order, telling him he had
already spoken twenty-five minutes.
"I move that DR.. Houghton be given
all the time he wants as long as he
sticks to the subject he is now speaking
on" said Councilman Smith, and other
members of the council echoed hearty
response.
"The Examiner has just nominated
state ticket and now 1T IS going to
leave it's own candidates up In the all
for no other purpose. l believe, than
that it thinks it will assist in electins
a Republican governor. The Examiner
proposes to drop the Public Ownership
league, for which 1t is responsible, to-
morrow. | know this to be fact.
have it by the longest CREASED liar in
the world"
There was applause when Houghton
ended and the applause came from the
