at the expense of the whole people. as
is the case now.
when these powers control the sem
ate and the selection of the judiciary
when they are allied against good leg
islation, it is time for a change and
new men must step in.
THAT is why we ask Republicans
If only at this election to vote with
us for a new and square deal for our
republic.
special privileged classes. 1t has been
truly said that five or six rich men
control the United States as they do
their own corporate interests.
"They say John Rockefeller's wealth
is easily $500, 100000. This is equivalent
to owning what should be distributed
between 10000 families on the basis
of $500 for each family, which is a fair
amount. 1t means that 10000 families
are plunged Into penury to make this
man Rockefeller millionaire.
1.-THE Democrats are asking that this
monumental wrong be righted by re-
ducing the tariff on some articles and
by introducing the income tax"
Mr.. Cartwright then referred to the
panics of the century, which Republi-
reports show are not peculiar to any
one party, but come in cycles.
1T is only fair to Mr.. Roosevelt to
say that he is not to blame for the
recent panic, and it is also fair to
say that the Democrats are not to
blame" he said. "It grows out of
errors in our banking system, one of
which is that 15 to 20 per cent of de-
ports are tied up reserves, which in
turn are sent to reserve banks in the
four large cities. and another is that
the government has no guarantee
fund, does not protect depositors, such
as Oklahoma now has,
i'The remedy lies in the Democratic
platform. which, through the bankers
fund, will restore confidence in the
minds of depoS8tors. This will induce
them to deposit all hidden money and
prevent them from withdrawing funds
that they do not actually needs"

DARE NOT DEBATE
WITH CARTWRIGHT
BEACH REPUBLICANS DECLINE
CHALLENGE
Democrats Hold Rally at Ocean park'
Despite Opponents Tactics IN
Using Band ManeuVers to
Tempt Audience

Ocean Park Republicans in charge OF
the rally last night at which Lee Gates
was the principal speaker ueciined TO
accent a challenge to a debate eXtehueu
10 him on behalf of State Senator
George Cartwright.
The offer was repeated twice ana
held under consideration by the Ike
nuhlicans for over an hour, at the end
of which time the offer was declined.
chairman Walter Ballard was cred
tied with insisting that the Gates meet
ing be held as scheduled, though others
on the committee disagreed with him.
Not only was the debate offer turned
down. but the Republicans would not
agree to let both men speak from the
same platform to the same audience.
The Democrats held their open air
meeting, as scheduled, outside OF the
Casino, in front of the elevated band
stand, while the Republicans held a
smaller and less enthusiastic meeting
inside the building.
The Republicans set band IN motion
marching up and down the SURF Walks
and Pier avenue, hoping to divert the
crowd which was already listening to
Senator Cartwright. Despite the clash
ing of brass instruments Mr.. Cart
wright kept on talking and held his
audience for an hour.
The open-air attendance was much
greater than that of the Gates meetlnS
Senator Cartwright's lying auto
squadron encountered Mr.. Gates and
his friends accidentally on Windward
avenue, Venice, and it took but a few
moments for Organizer Tyree to broach
the subject of. joint debate since 1t
was dicoVered that both parties had
meetings billed on the same night
Mr.. Cartwright promptly consented
and authorized a challenge.
The Democrats told their opponents
politically that they would await an
answer at the Casino cafe, where they
had gone to dine, but the answer came
not even after messenger was dis
patched to get it,
Ocean Park Democrats lost no time
in charging that their rivals were
afraid to meet Senator Cartwright,
even on short notice.
The Fresno senator's talk dealt with
che Denver platform in so far as it af-
fected Southern California.
