POMONA, Dec. 1S-Strengthened be-
yond measure by yesterdays demonstra-
tion. the beneficial effects of which are
already evident, was the telephone COM
munication received in Pomona today
from division lieutenants in every part
and parcel of the new county.
With the remarkable showing of 160
automobiles and innumerable tailyhos and
rigs, coupled with the good spirit and
good will displayed by each and every
occupant of the conveyances to work on
as an immediate background, the COM
mitteemen from the border towns proph-
esy rare results.
Like a tornado in Its enthusiasm and
earnestness, the wave of feeling, follow
ing in the wake of the great procession,
spread from Cucamonga to the San Ga
briel river, marking as it were, well
defined track where the common interests
of one united people begin and end.
r The trees and shrubbery were uprooted
yesterday, making the course of the track
wider and unmistakable, and the only
interests having license to cross the
track" are those of state and nation.
The residents of Pomona county yester-
day by big majority passed resolutions
that their economic interests, as repre-
sented by the territory, are one and the
same
Lay New fldnS
These tidings were sent out after a
meeting of the local committee attended
by P. j. Dreaher, Z. c. Brichowsky, ]. II.
and j. ~. Dole.
General plans for the future course of
the campaign in the way of obtaining an
exact line on the situation, precinct by
precinct, were the main issue of the meet
ing. For a few days there will be moth
ing of the spectacular. The divis will
simply work to keep the track clear of
distractions" in other words, to hold
, their own. That will pc the aftermath.
Pomonans are extremely proud of the
local automobile showing. Many of her
partisans were, however, denied the auto
mobile trip to afford space for the visit
ing delegations.

Committee of "Stumpers"
Complete lists of those from the other
towns have not been handed in. 1t was
suggested today that Father" Lord,
founder of Lordsburg, Charles P. Huey
of Upland, r. Matthews of Covina and
f. w. Balfour of Pomona, the four
speakers at Covina yesterday, presented
the division question so fully and with
so much force, each in different style,
as to make 1t advisable to nominate them
a standing committee of "stumpers,'
headed by r. p Shepherd
Ontario divis say that Willis and Mag
ner and some others will make a hasty
exodus if such a committee heads east
ward bent on a public debate.
Preparations for the much heralded de-
bate between A. P. Griffith of Azusa and
r. P. Shepherd OF Pomona are at a. stand
still.
The glove was thrown to Griffith; he
picked it up; he still wears it. And ac-
cording to the terms of the challenge,
it's up to him to name the time and place
to use it, But, after yesterday, he is more
undecided than ever-he hasn't taken the
glove off his hand. but he's walking down
the streets with his hands In his pockets
-and the bets are about even on the
right and the 'left''
