Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1906-01-28

which he said them that would cause a
close observer to conclude that he and
Mr.. zeehandelaar did not always agree
on all topics.
Scores the Jews
The speaker persisted in pronouncing
the last syllable of the secretary's name
as though 1t was spelled "liar," and he
rolled it around on his tongue with q
sweet relish. Mr.. Wilson seemed to
take serious exception to the fact that
Mr.. Zeehandelaar is a Jew, and the
things he said about Jews in general
and this one in particular was worthy
OF the most rabid Russian. When Will
son began his general harangue on
Jews Mayor SchmitZ sat UP and took
notice and before Wilson had con-
cluded San Francisco's chief executive
looked as though he was mad about
something. Abe Ruef is a Jew, and
there are those who assert that Schmitz
himself does not have to go back very
far into his ancestry to find a forebear
of the same persuasion.
Wilson threw a few fits over the
Times and a few more over the Citi-
zen's alliance, in fact he was the only
speaker of the evening who said much
about the alliance. But when he had
got this out of his system he seemed to
feel better and told some more funny
stories.
Schmitz the Star Performer
Wilson was longer winded than
Houghton had been, but most of his
talk was adjectives, chiefly addressed
to the Star Spangled Banner" He
quoted Kipling and few minor poets
and also sprung some stuff that
sounded suspiciously like it might be
original, but what for or in support of
what he didn't say and no one there
could guess.
Mayor Schmitz was the star speaker
of the evening, but it seemed that the
management had made a serious mis-
take in letting Wilson speak first. for
after his fowery grafton the quiet SEN
fences of SchmitZ fell fiat.
Why Schmitz was called down from
San Francisco to help formulate Il
mighty protest against the Citizens
alliance or Sound q loud note of
warming to someone or something, was
not apparent. But Schmitz' protest or
notes of warning were neither mighty
nor loud. He was calm and unper-
warning.
Talks Vaguely of Colorado
Mr.. Schmitz confined his speech
largely to the labor troubles in Colo
RADIO, which he declared had been in
stigated by the Citizens alliance. He
told how the people had gone to the
polls and defeated Governor Peabody
who had declared martial law, when,
according to Schmitz, nothing but right
and justice was needed, and how a
supreme court, owned body and soul
by the Citizens alliance, had declared
Adams counted out and seated Pea
body. He told Of the troubles with the
Citizens alliance in San Francisco and
how it had been voted down.
''You all know of the struggle we had
with the Citizens alliance in San Fran
CISCO" said Mayor Schmitz. "But
want to say that that organization is
dead forever and can never be re-
same power in this city if you will vote
as you believe.
Forms Anti-AIIiance
ut has been whispered that I am
here for selfish purpose, that of
booming myself for governor This is
absolutely false. I have no selfish
motive in coming before you tonight.
1 am Of the people and for the people.
But implore you to go to the great
register and inscribe your name ON 1t
that when the time comes you may
cast your ballot against the power that
is depressing you and get ready to send
to Office a man who will care for your
interests"
Before the meeting adjourned reso-
lutions were introduced providing for
the forming of an association to combat
the Citizens alliance and to be known
as the "Anti-Citizens' alliance" Little
cards were passed around and those
who wished to join the organization
were told to fill them out and hand
them to the ushers at the door. Chair
man Houghton was empowered to
name a committee of fifteen to perfect
the organization.
