partisans have begun prepara-
tions for bringing their campaign to
Unsuccessful close Saturday night, De-
cember /.
1T is expected that Simpson audi
torium will be the scene of the closing
celebration, inasmuch as it was the
pIace which saw the successful opening
of the campaign.
Lee C. Gates will be the principal
speaker, but he will have on the plat
form with him all the other non-parti-
san nominees and members of the COM
nlittee of the one hundred.
.AIl arrangements for the meeting
will be completed during the coming
week.
Mr. Gates will conclude the second
week Of the campaign at Blanchard
hall tomorrow night. The nominee for
mayor will make the principal address,
but several other nominees will make
brief speeches.
Another Busy Day for Gates
Notwithstanding the rain, Mr.. Gates
put in another busy day yesterday.
large crowd of workmen at an in
dustrial establishment, and in the even
ing he made two speeches.
One meeting was held at Bethany
Presbyterian church, Bellevue and Hol-
1iday streets, and the other at Lafay-
ette hall, Lafayette and Jackson
streets.
Mr.. Gates devoted considerable por-
ton of his speech, after urging upon
the voters the necessity of voting for
a business administration, to the Ow-
ems river project.
"OnIy the right men should handle
this proposition said Mr. Gates.
Owens river water in Los Angeles
means clean streets, the laying of this
frightful dust in your own yard, a
plentiful supply of water for your
homes and for your lawn and flower
gardens; it means electrical power
that will make for more and cheaper
and better electric lights for use by the
people; it means that Los Angeles may
become more than ever the most
beautiful city in America, as already
she has no superior under the sun, and
that the city viii extend from the
mountains to the sea.
City Must Own System
1T means all of that if the great
Owens river water plan is handled 10y
the right men, but if you put corrupt
men in the city council or other offices
large part of the many millions OF
dollars that should go for this work
will be squandered-will be lost-and
you will have to foot the bill.
Los Angeles should own this water
system-always 1t should own the
electric power from it, always. The
time is coming when Los Angeles will
have a population of 100000 souls. il
will be the Paris of America.
The recent annexation election will
be followed by annexation of San Pedro
mot that We want to swallow up the
little city, but there is a great harbol
there that the government and the
people have builded and which has
been gradually encroached upon and
seized by two big corporations unit
little of 1t remains for public use. Los
Angeles must take it and hold it fol
the whole people before these corpora.
tions shut out the people altogether
We want enough space there so that il
another railroad seeks entrance there
will be room for its tracks and fol
wharfage"
Leslie Hewitt. non-partisan nomineC
for city attorney, also spoke at Bethany
church and at Lafayette hall and malt
splendid impression.
Secretary Lissner said last night re
garding the Blanchard hall meetins
tomorrow night:
1.-The meeting to be held at Blanchard
hail Saturday evening will offer a rar,
treat to the lovers Of good speaking
Quite apart from ones convictions il
the present municipal campaign, 1t will
be amply worth while to attend il
merely for the sake Of the treat to tn
ear and the mind which viii certainl,
result from the array of speakers VIII,
are to appear.
Lee Gates, the non-partisan can
didate for mayor, will be there, o
course. and most citizens of Los An
geles know that he is always wort
listening to. on whatever subject h
may be speaking. From the same plat
form will be heard Frank G.. Tyrrel
who was for some years a lecture
with the Ridpath bureau; Leslie Hew
lit, our next city attorney; Lamar Har
ris, one OF the most brilliant and effec
tive Of our younger political speakers
and last, but by no means least, Mile
Pease, whom all the city knows am
delights to honor. This is likely to b
the most interesting meeting Of Ia
campaign, and Blanchard hall shoul
be crowded to the doors.
For this occasion the non-partisa
