ment: We have received assurances of

Morton Is Emphatic
w. Ona Morton was introduced as the
next attorney general, of California and
as such would fight for the interests of
the people.
The San Pedro harbor is looked upon
as being one of the, most important
factors in the development of Southern
california; said Mr.. Morton, who was
given round of applause when he
arose 10 speak. Il am aware that
under the laws of California no man or
| corporation can secure a franchise for
dock or wharf except at public auc-
tton. but / am sorry to say that under
the present policy of the attorney gen
eral there has not been left at San
Pedro sufficient space for a single
wharf. The land is controlled by the
Southern Pacific, the Bannings and
other corporations.
Not even the United states govern
ment today can make the San Pedro
harbor a free harbor. Only one man in
the whole world can do that. and that
man is the attorney general of the state
OF California. The attorney general has
the power to bring suits for the for
feiture of every franchise Illegally
awarded. and thus make San Pedro a
free harbor
If elected | will devote my energy
to restore to the people their rights and
the harbor of San Pedro shall be free
hereafter and forever"
Shouts of approval and applause
greeted Mr.. Morton's closing remark
The meeting then came to a close. and
those present went to an early dinner in
order to be on hand for the reception
and demonstration at Labor temple.
