a redhot fight
DR.. j. 8. Allison, candidate in the
Sixty-eighth district, said when he
came to Monrovia he was asked what
his politics was ard advised to be a
Republican. mo, I'm a Democrat for
principle and not for revenue" he re-
piled.
Democrats out of the party. Once a
Democrat, always a Democrat, is their
rule
"They insist on bobbing up again"
The speaker said Democracy was the
golden mean between Socialism and an
archy, and he concluded by saying he
had turned his face toward Sacramento
despite the 1900 majority he had to
overcome.
Oscar Parish asked voters to be care
full about the ballots for stephens. He
advised that a one-shot campaign be
done, avoiding trading with Republic
cans, as dual voting on one ballot
would carry Republicans on the bench
and defeat the Democratic nominee.
M. g. Yoakum. candidate for the leg
trict. said he opposed a mud-slinging
campaign, and he intended to marshal
his arguments.
He also referred to the widespread
good that could be done by reproducing
Bryan records on monographs.
Gould Gives Ideas
Will D. Gould, nominee for the sem
ate, presented three thoughts. First, a
precinct organization. The leaders had
advised II and Ii is possible. With five
men in each precinct as officers, the
party would have Eve stalwarts to de-
pend upon.
In line with this. Saturday Aag-rais-
ings were advocated as a good form OF
enthusiasm.
THE voter breathes prayer and
hope when he casts his ballot in the
box" said Mr.. Gould. 1.-THE vote repre-
sents force and power. Votes count
and we must get them"
Concluding, the speaker said suburbs
depend on cities for growth, and an
nexation would and should come in a
way satisfactory to the city and the
country.
The next speaker, David Reeves
Smith, was introduced as an eloquent
man from the east, whose voice and
experience were at the disposal Of the
party.
Mr.. Smith contented himself by say
ing that Democrats should elevate
themselves over small antagonisms. He
asked them to look over Greater Amer
lea as Greater Democrats, carrying out
Democratic principles.
Hard Out to Win
Prospective Assemblyman B. F.
Hard, Transues opponent, said old
time Republicans had promised him
victory by 1000 majority. They were
tired of Transue.
II did not seek the Office" said he,
"but since have taken the nomination
I propose to win"
Frank Hilton of Alhambra, who us
making the race for assemblyman in
the Sixty-ninth district, said the odds
| against him were four to one, but that
was not much for a fighting Democrat.
They used to compare our peerless
| leader to the Platte, a mile wide and
six inches deep" said Mr.. Hilton. THAT
| idea has been overcome. Mr.. Bryan is
deeper than they supposed. Even Mr..
Taft declines to discuss Mr.. Rryan'S
speech Of acceptance unless the exigen-
cies of the campaign demand 1t. We
mean to put Mr.. Bryan in the White
| House, where he should have been
years ago"
Frank B. frey of Pomona, senatorial
candidate in the Thirty-fifth district,
took a slap at the Southern Pacific.
Six years ago, when he ran for the
| legislature, he said he could have won
| had he listened to advice to consent to
railroad domination.
However, he hoped to win this time
and maintain his independence of COR
porations.
S. A. Waldron, prospective assem-
| blyman from the Seventy fifth district,
said he relied on Republicans tired of
| the old bossism to elect him and he
believed the experience would be du-
plicated by other Democratic candi-
dates.
Chairman Albert M. Norton then
made a frank statement.
Instead of taking you each into my
office separately" he said, II am go
/ ing to tell you all here in bunch just
how you are going to be elected. for
firmly believe that every man on our
| ticket is going to be elected. and
am not telling you this just TO raise
UP your hopes of election.
| eve are going to make straight
anti -machine-anti-railr oad-anti-South-
ern Pacific fight. Probably we will be
called Ants or the Anti party Here
in lies our greatest strength.
you members of the legislature
must tell the voters that the election
