JOSEPH Simons during the trip round
| ed irto his old-time fern as cam
| paign o.aLCr who gets close to the peo-
| pie. His Introductory speeches in each
| city visited were models of terseness
| in their straight from the shoulder
comments OF things pc Itical.
| At Burbank for ins stance Mr.. Simohs
| called everyone Wit1iu sound of mis-
| voice to the auto, sent scouts out into
the stores to notify the stragglers tha;
| the meeting was about to commence,
had the autos siren whistle sounded
and for an hour ali business was sus-
pended in Burbank. He said in part:
I'VE have with us today Senator
| Cartwright, the man responsible for
tie antitrust law that is curbing greed
! III California He is too hoarse to
talk, but Will shake hands with you
| anyway.
I'VE are going from place to place
talking to our Republic an friends. We
| lean On the gates with them, we SIT
on the doorstep with them, we meet
them in the lanes and fields.
I'VE beieVe there should be two po-
ltical parties. 1t is necessary. 1t
gives the candidates and the people
10 ntbnrXUiSa there would be
| Cnly primary fights ana the man with
| the longest sack and biggest pull with
the railroads woulr always win
Sometimes we know our Republican
friends loosen up in their preJudlces'
are convinced and a-e helping us in
this campaign.
Appeals to Fruit Growers
You people are big fruit growers.
Ecu as children were taught that your
whole existence is due to the tariff on
truit. Now how have the Republicans
pfctected you? In the last few years
$50, ,0O000j worth of fruit was imported
into THIS cour try duty tree. Last year
81 ,O00, 900 worth of duly free bananas
were imported. All this is in direct
competition with California fruit.
1T was Senator Stephen M. White, a
Democrat, who gave you the duty on
foreign currants, the great competitors
of our raisins, and on citrus fruits.
| w nSD we were III IlOlly WOOb JCotSA
day we were told that Senator Flint
had told the growers there that the
| reason they did not make more money
was because their fertilizers were
wrong, their plan of cultivation was
wrong and their fumigating was wrong.
Senator Cartwright remarked to us
that he knew what the trouble was
a little fumigation was needed at
| Washington; some of the scale on some
| congressman needed to be killed.
you voters had better act on the
suggestion and do a little fumigating-
A Democratic congressman elected from
this district will not go into any OF
Speaker Cannon's' caucuses, but he
will serve your interests"
Talk at San Fernando
/ At San Fernando the same program
was followed by Master of Ceremonies
/ Simons He told few apropos stories
and then said:
I'VE simply want to ask you shall
the people rule or do you want hand
full of Wall street bankers to do the
ruling?
.'There is a time when Republicans
and Democrats can sit on the same
bench, work in the same field and swing
on the same gate, but it is not near
election time That is wrong. We are
all after good government, honestly
administered 1t is time we stopped
this blind following of old ideas and
struck out for ourselves"
/ Tony Schwamm, superVisoral canol-
date mounted the auto next, Mr..
Simons introducing him as the next
supervisor.
IT hope that is true said Mr..
Schwamm. 'It can only become true
if you voters say so at the polls
Your community picturesquely sit
uated, is ignored by many tourists, by
many who view California from horse
back, autos and rigs. Why? Because
YOU have no good roads, have no troll
ley line.
'Tf we get good roads it will in
duce the people to come here. If they
| come investments and home builders
will follow. L am a good roads en-
thusiast.''
Schwamm Grows Witty
Mr.. Schwamm told of the good roads
u hs saw when in Europe, and was in
terrupted. A broncho attached to
rig driven by Abe Ayres boy, reared,
ran and upset the outfit.
Ayres held on, righted the buggy
and drove away in triumph.
Mr.. Schwamm recovered himself in
a moment and said aptly:
! "Im like that broncho. I can't stay
brdled. They can't keep me in har-
ness if I am elected supervisor, for I
will serve the people first and last"

Because of growing hoarseness Sem
ator Cartwright spoke only briefly at
! Glendale. excused himself at Burbank
and said a few words at San Fer
nando after a courteous introduction
| by John It. Wilson, the foreman of
16,000-acre ranch.
| Personally, 1 think we should not
have entered into protective tariff in
the first place. said he, but we Demo-
Gratis do not want to destroy that poll
icy since business has been adjusted
to it.
