Mr., Hayes then referred to one section

Danger Of Delay.
"If we don't watch the people OF the

greater portion of our state. Then it will
be oriental. They cannot be assimlated. "
In conclusion the representative de-
clared: you of the California Associa-

You must convince the people you come
in contact with that the saving of our
state from the orientals is more impor-
tant than the protection of the CONNER

Mr. Hayes took up the subject of the
rebuilding of San Francisco and said the
city is rising Phoenix like from its ashes.
