Long Beach VS.. Pasadena
The rivalry between Long Beach and
Pasadena over good roads is the hot
test thing in the campaign just now.
Both cities are working hard for the
cause Pasadena has called monster
meeting in Library park for Saturday
night A big party of boosters will go
ever in autos from here and the whole
affair, which E. W. Off is handling,
will be a whoop. He was over yes
terday and made arrangements for lit
erature, banners and buttons with the
campaign committee.
Spurred up by this Long Beach sent
representatives up yesterday to voice
it's interest in the campaign. Long
Beach also has park in which 1t is
planning to hold a meeting bigger
than Pasadena's, and men from both
cities are betting new hats on the total
proportional vote of their respective
cities. Pasadena has more population,
but the interest in one place is as hot
as 1t is in the other, and the outcome
will be watched with great interest.
MotorcycIists in Line
The motorcycle men, aroused by the
activity of the auto dealers, have en-
tered the good roads cause. Ed Kehl,
president of the Motorcycle club, has
visited headquarters and arranged for
a session of the chug cyclists. He says
they will do missionary work that will
make the auto dealers wonder if they
are in the race. 1t is planned to have
motorcycle men in every precinct on
election day to round up voters, carry
messages and be generally useful. The
auto men will close their places of
business all day July 30 to devote their
entire time and that of all their men
to the campaign to get out voters.
Redondo will have huge good roads
meeting Friday in the pavilion Speak
ers will go from here, literature will
be on hand and probably L. c. Gates
and Seward Simons will be the lead
ing advocates. Redondo is strong for
good roads, as they will connect it
with both Los Angeles and San Pedro,
and the meeting, which will be enliv-
ened by the presence of band, will
be a great gathering. 1t is called for
3 o'clock in the afternoon, that all may
attend.
The demand for good roads buttons.
if 1t is a criterion, shows practical
unanimity for the cause. So far 10000
have been pinned on willing workers
and the demand has only begun, so
u 600 more have been ordered.
