JAMES D. PHELAN SAYS
eRYANs CHANCES ARE GOOD

James D. Phelan, former mayor OF
San Francisco, who has been in Los
Angeles for several days and is stay
ing at the. Alexandria, has decideo TO
take an active part in the coming
presidential campaign.
'I shall make few speeches" said
Mr.. Phelan yesterday, "and do what
1 can in behalf of the Bryan-kern
ticket.
personally I am great admirer OF
President Roosevelt, but l realize, as
everybody else does that every de-
mand he has made on congress mas
been rejected. Where Roosevelt failed
I do not think Taft will succeed. AS
our government Is one of parties the
people should turn to that party wh1gh
will offer a remedy for existing evils
and restore both houses of congress
to the people, who were intended 10
rule.
"The laboring men of this country
are now looking to the Democratic
party for legislation which was denied
| them by the Republican party in con-
gress and convention. Bryan's chances
| of election are better now than ever
before because of the revolt In the
Republican party. against the Repun-
lican machine, which has become the
tool of the big interests. La Toilette
and the Lincoln Roosevelt league at
home give us the clew to the deep
seated revulsion in the Republican
party ranks.
Apart from politics I would like to
say that Los Angeles is a continual
source of surprise to me. The street
life and the spirit of the people indi-
cate prosperity and contentment. Not
in Paris or in New York will you find
better or more attractive stores and
well kept streets,s beautifully lighted
without the obstruction of poles. l
wish the San Francisco supervisors
could come here and see what Los
Angeles has accomplished"
