ON HARBOR SITUATION
AssembIyman-elect Martin Tells Sixth
Warders That Conditions Are
Critical Under Repub-
Iican Rule

the Sixth ward held an open air meet
ing last night at Twenty-fifth and Main
streets.
Robert G. Loucks spoke on national
issues.
Attorney Geo. c. Martin. the nominee

rousing speech. He said:
1.-The people are becoming thoroughly
aroused to the fact that the future of
Los Angeles depends upon the acquire
ment of proper harbor facilities, and
that the fight must be made for a leg
islature not controlled by the rail-
road companies.
"The railroads have for years welded
an enormous influence in state legis-
lAtion, and their influence has not been
exerted for the benefit of the COM
munity.
IF you wish to have hand in your
own government you must express
yourself by your disapproval, at the
polls, of such men as Stanton, Leeds
and Transue, all of whom voted for the
iniquitous change of venue bill, for the
bill giving the railroad commissioners
control of traffic on street and inter-
urban car lines, and against the re-
ciprocal demurrage bill.
II charge of Mr.. Stanton. my oppon-
ent in this district, that he not only
has a record in the legislature of hav-
ing voted against the peoples inter-
est, but of having acted against the
interest of Los Angeles county in that
he secured the defeat of George Alex
ander at the last Republican conven-
tion. make the charge almost within
hearing of George AleXander's home,

self as to whether have spoken the
