party one year or 81 hundred years be-
fore we conquer"

Wiley ]. Philips said:
"I believe Los Angeles was never the
wide open town it is today. There is
an inclination to the loosening rather
than the tightening of municipal af-
fairs. There seems to be more in the
direction of Generalization of the citi-
zens than ever before. The laws should
be enforced rather than be ignored as
many of them are at the present time"
DIR. Clark, nominee for county coro-
ner, hoped for great achievements in
the Prohibition party.
"The Prohibition party is creeping
along rather slowly" said the doctor,
But we hope it will shake itself into
doing something soon."

Demanded in Resolutions
Following are some of the closing
points of the platform adopted;
1--WE condemn the numerous shame
full, cowardly and indefensible assaults
of mobs upon the colored race. We de-
sire to emphasize the fact that in nearly
every single case liquor was at the bot
tom of the whole trouble and that If
they will join with us in destroying the
LIQUOR traffic in our nation, we shall
thereby be enabled to successfully pre-
vent such assaults in the future and
largely reduce the cause thereof.
I'VE declare against repeal or
amendment Of our present twenty-one
year franchise law.
1--WE favor the Owens river water
plans when properly safeguarded
1--WE desire the development of all the
electric power possible, through the
Owens river water plan, and the reten-
tion and control thereof by the city.
1--WE advocate the annexation of San
Pedro and such other surrounding ter
ritory as further discussion and investi-
cation may prove wise.
'While favoring municipal ownership
of public utilities, we declare against
any other efforts in that line until the
present water plans are nearer compile
tion, and our financial condition will
warrant other undertakings.
I'VE desire to place ourselves on rec
ord as being opposed to any action on
the part of the city authorities that
would deprive the farmers of the San
Fernando valley of their water rights
until all other resources have been ex-
hausted and pledge our party candi-
dates to a square deal on this as ON all
other questions"
