another man a chance. Let someone
else take chance on the climatic con-
ditions in Washington"
Mr.. Adams spoke of talking with
some Seventh Day Adventists, and ap-
piled the moral by saying he did not
want to go to heaven with trust tag
on his garments.
'It is utterly impossible for the Re-
publican party to revise the tariff" ne
resumed. For the last twenty years
they have achieved victory through
trust combinations. Do you suppose
they will permit themselves to be
robbed of their weapons of dominion?
'They don't want to publish their
campaign contributions until after the
election. They want to keep on fooling
the people.
Day of Atonement
''There is going to be day of atone
ment soon for the robbery of the people
by the trusts and the party. We want
new tariff, but we want it revised by
the country's real friends, not by Baer
of the coal trust, the self-appointed
agent of the Almighty, by Carnegie, en-
riched by the tariff, and by others
whose principal interests are their
own"
The speaker said the people were
laundering at the doors of the United
States senate, that body of former cor
poration attorneys and millionaires.
"The trusts are entirely willing to
let the Republicans do the revising,
knowing that their interests will be
safe there.
"They assail Bryan and vilify his
work. They tell you he is defeated,
yet, Judging from the way they seek
to detract from him, he is very live
corpse"
Introduces Jud Rush
Jud Rush was introduced by Chair
man Harris amid much applause.
Congressman McLachlan's opponent
spoke of a friend in the dominant party
who bemoaned the lack of interest in
national affairs on the part of the vot-
ers and saw only disaster ahead.
81 told my friend that perhaps he
had gotten into the wrong meetings.
If he were here tonight he would find
no shortage of enthusiasm. He would
go away as we do, full of hope for the
people, full of fight for right principles
LET me tell you, friends, that 1 am
an apostle of hope. believe. as every
American citizen should, that the peo-
pie will see the light
"Citizenship occupies higher plane
best form of government on earth, but
we want to see to it that the laws are
made for the people and that they are
for the people.
"There never was a time when a
bad man would receive as few votes
from his party as now. Never will the
people so readily resent misconduct as
now.
"Did you ever see section where
people spend so little time in talking
about the greatness of their fathers
as here?
eff 1 had all the world to choose
from I could not pick better place
to live in than Southern California,
and the voters never had a. better time
than this to assert their supremacy for
good government and for a better CAL
ifornia."
Mr.. Rush then spoke on favorite
Panama canal and San
Pedro harbor. Both are live subjects,
for he regards them as promising a
new era for Southern California.
He stated that so per cent of the
worlds shipping bound to or from the
Panama canal would pass within 100
miles of San Pedro in following the
accepted ocean lines of travel. This
would make it probable that most OF
call.
Aside from the advantage of har-
bor and canal they tend to equalize
rates. as water transportation Is much
chaaper. He quoted established rates
TO show the fortunes which shippers
would save every year when the Pan
anna canal should be opened and San
Pedro ready to receive the cargoes.
Europeans and others have told me
that San Pedro harbor will be the
greatest in the world. and no one can
gainsay it." he said.
"One of the things needful is repre-
sentation in congress-, to see that the
national government does it's share
toward making the harbor. The appro-
priarions have been paltry as compared
with what other harbors have received.
with Speaker Cannon ruling con-
grass this will mean fight, fight, fight:
but I propose to keep it up ie 1 am
elected"
