SANTA ANA, Oct 7.-Senator
George w. Cartwright of Fresno spoke
here last night to an audience of 500
enthusiastic Democrats who came from
all over the country to hear him. Sem

tion of wealth and the Inconsistency
exhibited by President Roosevelt in
breaking into the campaign in the in

TAKE FULL NOTES OF
SPEAKERS REMARKS

Judge G. p. Glover introduced the
speakers at Azusa A large crowd had
gathered in anticipation of treat, and
this was augmented by the arrival of
vehicles carrying people from the OUT
side districts.
Senator Cartwright explained that
after fourteen years study of panics,
assisted by the reports of Statistician
Carroll d. Wright, Republican, and
various political economists, it was
evident that politics and administra-
tions had no hard and fast rules con-
cerning panics. Whether a Democratic
or Republican administration was in
power seemed not to Interfere with
the cycles of depression.
The fault lay in certain defects in
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-08

the banking system and the proposed
bank guarantee law, patterned after
Oklahoma's, would do much to pre-
vent repetition of trouble by heading
off any panics.
Mayor Franklin Pierce frey of Po-
mona followed and said he stood fairly
and squarely on the national and state
platforms.
The speaker and his wife had been
in Japan and China and they found
abroad that Bryan's fame was world
wide.

is Of much larger proportions farther on.
Where they were stopped they en-
countered a strong breeze, which seems
TO blow necessarily. 1t is so strong that

Personally and from the point OF view Of
ability no one can find fault with the
Presidents choice Of the former island
governor as a man well fitted for his
Cabinet Office.
1t is not the fault OF either Mr.. Roose-
velt or Mr.. Taft that Luke Wright is a
Democrat and a Southerner. No voice
has been raised in the South against the
appointment The Democrats in the
Southern States have been held silent by
their knowledge Of the eminent fitness
of their fellow-Southerner for the work
which he has been given to do.
Taft Cause strengthened.
Unquestionably. the Taft cause has
been strengthened in Tennessee by the
calling Of Mr.. Wright into the Roosevelt
Cabinet. II politics has been played. it
has been played well enough to disarn
criticism.
1t is known personally that Mr.. Taft
would have been entirely willing that a
.Southerner OF the right stamp should be
named as his companion on the Presi-
Dental ticket. The convention apparently
thought that the time had not yet come
for the display of magnanimity. The
feeling that the candidate had In the
matter is known IN the South. and the
knowledge Of it will not harm Mr.. Taft's
chances of carrying Tennessee and North
Carolina
During the coming campaign Republi-
can speakers will be sent into the South.
The field is opened as II has never been
opened before. 1t is entirely probable that
the candidate himself will have his word
to say personally in the South. II by any
happy chance the President shall make
40 his mind to take an active part in
the campaign. he will find the Southern
field fallow for his efforts. wherever he
NAV choose to exert them II the solid
