Candidate for Mayor Will Strike Keynote during
His Speech at the Big Meeting Planned for
Simpson Auditorium Prominent
Men are Scheduled to Speak

An oratorical treat is in store for
those who attend the meeting tonight
at Simpson auditorium.
Non-partisans in the Los Angeles
municipal contest will open their cam
paign, and Lee C. Gates, their nominee
for mayor, will deliver the principal
address.
Managers of the affair at first decided
to enlist the services of other we'll
known speakers from the ranks Of
those who are in favor of the non-par-
tisan movement, but later 1t was de-
cided that an address of from half to
three-quarters of an hour by Mr.. Gates
would itself be sufficient attraction
to those who appreciate genuine ora
| tory, and at the same time give the
nominee for mayor an opportunity of
explaining at length the causes which
have arisen to make such a movement
| necessary.
Mr.. Bates speech will follow the
lines plainly marked by him in his let
ter accepting the non-partisan nomina-
ton for mayor, and in addition he will
make an argument for and a plea in

ALL FAITHS JOIN
IN THIS BANQUET
Denominations Exchange Greetings
and Hear Talks by Ministers at
Rooms Of the Federa-
ton Club.

One Of the great achievements of the
work being accomplished I'm the fed
Grafton principle was illustrated last
night in the meeting of the different
church denominations at the second
annual reception and banquet of the
Church Federation Of Los Angeles,
held In the Federation club.
Rev. IL. p. Ryland, president of the
federation, presided. The guests of
honor were DR., and Mrs. John Willis
Baer DR.. and Mrs. Eli McClish and
Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard Merrill who
were heartily greeted by those present
with handshaking during the social
time between Z and s o'clock.
Covers were laid for about 325 and
nearly, if not every denomination, was
represented in the guests and social
fellowship seldom attained i'm so large
a gathering was manifested. An Epis-
copalian touched elbows with a BAPTIST
and rituals and baptism were not mem
toned; neither did the Methodist press
ing the other elbow Of the Baptist say
anything about sprinkling as a method
Of baptism.
After the banquet Rev. Mr.. Ryland
made the annual address. He outlined
the work that had been done by the
federation the past year, speaking en-
couragingly of the past and looking
ahead with greater encouragement in
the great work that lays before the
federation.
Following the address of Rev. Mr..
Ryland the following lawmen were
elected to the council: Chas. A. Bas-
kervile, w. S. Bartlett, Paul G. Brown,
Fred p. Beach, w. NJ. Bowen, Geo.
Chapman. w. F. Cronemiller, Geo. de
la Vergne, H. G. Dean, L. w. Dicke-
son, D. L. Durand D. K. Edwards,

H. M. Patterson, A. E. Pomeroy, Ly-
man Stewart, Leon V. Shaw, C. NJ.
Staub, w. G. Tanner, A. j. Wallace,
j. G. Warren, Curtis d. Wilbur.
Leonard Merrill spoke on "The In
fluence of the Federation on Citizen
ship" The speaker thought that the
Christian people should unite in pol
itics and elect the men best adapted
for official positions. He condemned
the minister who would prevail upon
a parishioner to go to the prayer meet
Ing instead of to the primary to start
the political line of work Alright. He
believed in pressing every point for
good results in electing men that will
be an honor to their constituents in
stead of a disgrace which he said was
the method now adopted.
Rev. Eli McClish spoke on The Ad-
vantages of the Federation" and made
some points on the early conditions of
the church, comparing them with the
present, and giving illustrations of the
great advantages of the church fedora
ton principles of today.
DR.. John Willis Baer made forceful
remarks on The Highest Good" The
speaker does not approve of too much
division in church work. The consoli-
dations of churches instead OF dividing
them into small factions is his motto

behalf of the non-partisan movement in
local affairs.
Known as an Orator
The non-partisan nominee for mayor
has the reputation of being one of the
best known orators in Southern Cali
fornia, and his services on the stump
often have been sought in Republican
campaigns.
Mr.. Gates speech will follow the
i've part in the campaign, and it is
expected that he will make number
of speeches before December 4, but it
is probable that the one he will de-
liver tonight will be more extended and
cover the ground more thoroughly than
any that may be delivered later in the
campaign.
1t is expected that practically every
candidate on the non-partisan ticket
will be present and occupy seats on
the platform. Several of them prob
ably will make brief. remarks, but in
these cases the speeches probably will
be limited to five minutes each.
James A. Foshay, chairman of the
non-partisan committee of one hun
dred, will be the chairman of the even
ing, and as such will introduce Mr.
Gates and the other speakers.

A WEAK AND SICKLY CROW

You notice that the "cock-a-doodle-
doo' of the Republican rooster in this
state is not of robust and sonorous
timbre It bears more resemblance to
the squeak of a bantling rooster that
is taking it's first lesson in voice cul-
ture. This year the Republican chan
ticleer crows in weak, perfunctory
way, as if inclined to attract as little
attention as possible.
While assuming an appearance of
satisfaction with the result of the cleo
ton the newspapers and other leaders
of the Republican party in California
cannot quite conceal their chagrin as
they scan the figures. No wonder.
The most casual glance indicates that
the election of their candidate for gov
ernor was essentially a triumph for
w. R. Hearst-not for the Republican
party
But for the revengeful act of Hearst
in "butting in" with his dummy can
didate for governor as means of
getting square" for his kick-out of
the Democratic party at Sacramento,
Mr.. Gillett would now be a badly de-
feated candidate. The votes cast for
Langdon were the direct cause Of
Bells defeat At least three-fourths
of the Langdon votes, probably much
larger proportion, were cast by Dem
ocrats. There is no ground whatever
for questioning that statement. Com
paratively few Republicans were at
tracted to Langdon and he got no
votes from Socialists or Prohibitionists,
as those partisans supported their own
candidates.
The extent Of Langdon's vote is not
yet accurately known, but the returns
already tabulated indicate that it will
approximate 42,O00 on the fair as
sumption that three-fourths of the
Langdon vote came from Democrats
the number Of such votes was S1,500
Assuming that Bell would have re-
ceived those S1,5OO votes but for the
revengeful "butting in of Hearst, and
that Gillett would have received the
remaining 10,50O votes cast for Lang
don, the result would have been some
thing like this;
Bells vote as it will finally appear
plus about S1,5OO votes diverted L
Langdon. Gillett's vote, plus 1880
votes similarly diverted. The Repub
lican leaders claim that Gilletts plu
rality is about 10000 Add thereto tn
/
is 22,5OO. Against that figure stand
the Democratic vote cast for Langdon
81, 800 Subtract 22.5OO from S1,5OO an
you have 5000, the plurality that Bel
would have had but for Hearst's all
to Gillett.
It is the Indigestion caused by tn
swallowing Of those figures that nov
causes the Republican rooster TO emf
such a wretehed imitation of a crow

HEARST AS PoLITIcAL JuNK

Just before the election Chairman
Spellacy Of the California state Demo-
cratic committee sent to the chairman
Of the like committee in New York
this ardent telesraphic appeal
California Democrats plead with the
Democrats Of New York to rid our party
Of riot and rot by repudiating william
r. Hearst at the polls next Tuesday"
The answer to that appeal, substan-
TALLY, was waited to the Pacific coast
as follows:
For response to your appeal see
election returns. In New York, as in
California, our party has been rid Of
riot and rot The Democrats of the
Empire state send this greeting to
their brethren OF the Golden state.
Shakei"
Even more spectacular than the
Hearst klck-out by the Democratic party
Of California was the booting by the
Democrats of New York. Not only was
Hearst landed in the New York politi-
cal junk heap, but in his forlorn look
therefrom he sees how thoroughly his
humiliation was rubbed in"
Himself beaten by more than CO., 900
votes, he has the singing modification
of seeing that he was the only defeated
candidate on the state ticket In spite
of the handicap of his notorious name
at the head of the ticket, the New York
Democrats succeeded in achieving a
splendid victory. But for the infamous
bargain with the Tammany boss,
whereby Hearst received his nomina-
tion, the Democratic victory in the
Empire state would have been a veri-
table political tidal wave.
When Hearst is able to rise from the
junk heap and regain sufficient of his
alleged senses to determine where he
is at" it will be interesting to learn
what he proposes to do about It, There
is an intimation that he has determined
to abandon any further effort to hoist
himself into an exalted public office
that he at last appreciates the small
boys folly in trying to lift himself by
tugging at his boot straps.
1t should be hoped, however, that his
monumental bump of vanity will lead
him to spurn any sensible conclusion of
that kind. Since he has ceased to be a
dangerous political factor, like a muz-
zled dog or rattlesnake deprived of it's
fangs, he still is capable Of being
amusing as clown in the circus. AS
a spectacle in the political arena he is
picturesque and amusing, particularly
in the rural districts. That phase of his
attractiveness was shown in the crowds
that flocked to see him in the country
districts Of New York state during his
recent spellbinding efforts.
But as political embodiment of riot
and rot" Hearst is as dead as the late
Rameses of Egypt. The Democrats of
every state in the Union will figura-
lively initiate the booting act Of Cali
fornia and New York.
No doubt Hearst now will turn to
his field of yellow journalism and en-
deavor to get square" with decent
society for turning him down, using as
a means his yellow equipment for social
debauchery.
