ter Lindley for|mayor held a meeting
yesterday. Judge Conrey delivered the
principal address, in which he said:
Independence in politics is to be
heartily commended, but this inde-
pendent spirit can often be manifested
effectually within party lines. This
movement, which is becoming so wide
spread in this city, to nominate Dr.
Lindley for mayor, is a notable evil
dence IF political independence and is
spontaneous demand from the rank
and file of the people,"
The meeting resolved to proceed at
once to an active campaign for the
nomination, and the following COM
mittees were elected:
Executive committee-George L.
Cochran, chairman; e. S. Butterworth,

Mr.. BELL is THE GUEST
AT EAGLES RECEPTION

After Mr.. Bells return from San
Pedro Monday night he was conducted
to the headquarters of the Los Angeles
lodge of Eagles, where he was re-
ceived as a brother member and an
officer of the supreme aerle.
Mr.. Bell also is a member OF the
Masonic order, Native Son and the
grand master of the Odd Fellows of the
state, but with the exception Of the
Eagles he has refused to attend re-
ceptions given by members Of other
societies to which he belongs.
He declares that he does not desire
to mix politics with fraternal order
work, but that in the case of the Eagles
1t is a young society and that as an
officer of the national body he con-
siders it his duty to visit lodges when
he is invited, but that he does not seek
such invitations.
While Mr.. Bell was on his way to
WatsonvIlle, the home of Warren Por-
ter, the Republican nominee for lieu
tenant governor, he received a tele-
gram stating that the odd Fellows of
Jacksonville were preparing to give him
"a grand reception following the politi-
cal gathering. He sent a telegram in
reply, stating that he would not attend
the odd Fellows reception, as the event
would be regarded as a political AFFAIR
and would hurt the order. AS result
the reception was called on.
Mr.. Bell yesterday indorsed the action

ing the dates of his visit to San Diego
and Redlands, owing 10 the fact that

after he had visited numerous retail
stores and banks, where he met the

could consistently to further the inter-
ests of the Democratic ticket" con-
tinued Mr.. Bell. ''Sueh support means
something, and men holding the posi-
tions occupied by the men / met this
morning do not make such promises
unless they are sincere. The revolt
against the railroad machine work Is
spreading more and more each day, and

"As to Hearst-if you have read this
mans papers you know he has de-
nounced the Southern Pacific, but to
what end? Hearst is always for his
own personal aggrandizement. Know
ing that we must all stand together in
his issue against the bosses and with
his eyes wide open, he has formed the
independence league. He formed this
league for the sole purpose of wrecking
the Democratic party, on whose ruin
this man desires to build a machine for
his own personal use.
II have been asked a great many
times what effect the action of the New

To-day one man stands foremost
among that class OF Rgitators, ana
through his newspapers he is constant
ly seeking to stir up the very worst
there Is in human nature in the hope
that out of disorder and chaos he may
find qualification for his political am
billions. That mans name is Hearst.

"They depend wholly on the sand
bag and the sack to accomplish their
infamous designs.
I'VE have said to Hearst in our re-
cent convention, You shall not confis-
cate political power in California with
the aid of the Democratic party and
we ask the Republicans of this state
to treat Herrin in the same manner

1.-THE Santa Cruz convention became
an object of public scorn because of
Herrin.
1.-The Sacramento convention would
have been the same despicable object
had we not done our full duty to the
people of this state.
There is another phase of the pres
ent political situation which commands
our attention.
"A third party has been thrown into
the field, and while it will not affect the
result of the election, it is we'll enough
to pay 1t at least a passing glance lest
some well meaning person be attracted
by its glittering generaIities, which
seem to be it's only recommendation to
anybody's notice.

tended by its author that 1t should bear
name in striking contrast with its
real character.
'What is the origin and what is the
destiny of this league? Whence and
whittier? That is the question.
1.-The word sprang from Hearst and to
Hearst 1t will return. Amid the fanati-
cism of Hearst's mad presidential ambi-
ton 1t was born; and amid the ruins OF
that delirious ambition 1t will be laid
away to its long sleep without pomp OF
ceremony on election day.
1T will remain only as a sorrowful
memory with no epitaph except that
which is Inscribed on the stubs OF
Hearst's exchequer. (Applause.)
THE only serious thing about the In
dependence league is that it furnishes
indubitable proof of Hearst's treason to
the Democratic party, through which he
has foully conspired to destroy the par
ty and its magnificent leader, William
Jennings Bryan.
Hearst stands branded as a traitor
to Democracy and to all the great prin-
ciples that party represents, and as a
just and fitting penalty OF his treason
he has been expelled from our ranks.
Hereafter he will have to WELD his
dirk where its flash can be seen.
II am proud OF the part l have taken
in this purging of our party. 1t makes
no difference how 1t affects the result
Il would rather go down to everlast-
ing defeat without Hearst or Herriu
than go to victory with either or both
of them.
