impatient to hear the speech of Mr..
cafes and ne was forced to make his
ADDRESS very brief. In his opening
words he said:
Two years ago a non-partisan school
board was elected ineLos Angeles, and
am sure that the estimable record
made by that body during their term of
administration will commend tbe nres-
ent non-partisan school board nominees
TO the good Will of the city voters. |
am sure YOU cannot fail TO do so ir
you follow the dictates of your own
conscience"
Prof Foshay then introduced Mr..
Gates and the non-partisan candidate
TOT mayor was received with a wild ap-
plause.
81 wish to thank all of YOU sincerely
for this hearty greeting" said Mr..
Gates. but | can only attribute your
enthusiasm to the tact that my candi..
lacy for the high office for which have
been indorsed, rather than to any re-
gard for personal merit.
1T is decidedly queer sensation for
me to appear before an audience i'm the
attitude of candidate for pablic office.
as IL is the hrst time in my life that
/ have ever had such an experienre
have often plead for other candidates
upon the rostrum, but never have /
been the object of political favoritsm.
(Applause)
81 shall religlously refrain from
speaking of myself tonight, as this
audience has not gathered TO hear self
commendation. ard should choose TO
so address you, my speech would neces-
sarily be confined to an extreme pnu-
city of words.
Conscientious Sentiment
This audience assembled here to-
might represents the most spontaneous
outpouring Of conscientious sentiment
that | have witnessed i'm any similar
campaign. 1t Is the indication of a
rapidly spreading assertion of common
honesty. The career of the PRINCIPLES of
nom n-nartisanship is destined to unceas-
ing advancement 1t is a movement
that has not been OF local origin, but
has swept from north to south, from
east to west over the entire country.
1t had its ircitement i'm the awakened
conscience of the whole American peo-
pie.
The enforcement of the bipartisan
principles in Los Angeles VIII mean the
regeneration of this city and the adop-
ton of the standard of the golden rule.
The principles of -partisanship
mean the conquest for full manhood re-
lating to public affairs.
THE principles of the non-partisanS
have long been in existence, but not
recognized. When first presented they
were offered simply as the means of re-
inforcing the foundation of the old
parties, and no one dared to intimate
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-11

that they might be followed indepehu-
ent of partisan ties.
"The only arguments hitherto pun
forth have been that the principles oil
the non-partisans were necessary to
closer ally and cement the votaries OF
the old parties. -.
But the political organizations here
have been too complete to certain eX-
tent. and in a limited sense organiza-
ton is essential but when organiza-
tion assumes the aspect of aoject ODE
dience to machine rule, when 1t means
that the political machine has absolute
power to dictate, then 1t is time to over
throw organization.
'City council, state Legislature or
congress represent great principles, and
men elected to office in these depart
ments of government should stand for
those principles. But do they? How
can they. if they would, when fettered
down by the dictates Of party bosses"
What connection can there be between
the civic government and the national
government, as there should be, when
the municipal affairs and aye some
times the national affairs, are controlled
by few self-appointed bosses?
AT the national election two years
from now the welfare of America de-

eeiving their Endorsement for the same
office, and | wish to thank both Or
sanizations. / was not indorsed by the
republican party, and thank it, too,
as L do not wish to show any par"
riality. (Applause).
MY record for twenty-five years as
4 business man in the city of Los An
geles is we'll known, 1 believe, and is
an open book to all who desire to inves-
tlgate my past. l have no doubt that
when election day arrives / shall be
given satisfactory treatment at the
hands of the Los Angeles voters
(Shouts of assent.)
"A great deal of pressure was re-
qulred from the non-partisan committee
before | consented to become the can
didate for the honorable position have
heen nominated for, and | only accepted
IL because / was made to feel that it
was my duty to the municipality as
friend of honest government.
IF elected to the office of councilman
from the Fourth ward 1 will serve the
city unreservedly and will make no
obeisance to machine bosses of any
party.
Is Not Pledged
There is rumor that has been cir
culatlng throughout the city that [ had
pledged to support some man for some
office-health officer, | believe IL was
said. | want to take this occasion to
1atly deny this rumor and to denounce
1T as false. If / cannot receive the cleo
ton to the office of councilman without
giving promises or pledges | will net
obtain the position, for | make nc
promises to anyone but the people OF
this city as body. l shall make nc
promises before election, and under
stand me- l shall be careful to make
none atter election, as well. (Applause
and laughter.)
Il want to ask you people here. repre-
sentatives of the municipality of Los
Angeles, if the civic government has
been satisfactory for the past three
years under the control of the Republi-
can party" ono" shouted hundreds. !
''Then how are we to remedy the evils
fellow citlzens?" C'Vote for the non.
partisan candidates." came the an
Swer)
In conclusion, let me say, friends. as
a reminder. that the owens river water
VIII soon be in our possession. 1t Is
gong TO require great amount of
money to complete this stupendous pro
Jeet, and lest II mean the squandering
of thousands, aye, perhaps of millions
OF dollars by dishonest inefficient poll
tlcians in office we must be wary to
place I'm charge of the execution OF our
municipal affairs men who are to be
trusted and men of ability. The Owens
river water will become the source of a
wonderful revenue to Los Angeles, but
beware, fellow citizens, that It is not
sobbled up or traded off by the greed
OF political grafters. Watch the Owens
river project"
