FALsITY OF OBSTRUCTION PLEA
EVIDENCE ON ALL HANDS

LOS ANGELES, July 1O.-[Editor
Herald: That the plea of "obstruc-
ton against the Free Speechers" is
q hollow pretense Is evidenced on all
hands, for those who have eyes to see
and ears to hear. Quite aside from the
religious" gatherings, what notice do
the authorities take of those cases
where sidewalks are blocked for weeks
and months together with building APP
paratus and material? 1 agree with
L. H. Godfrey that bubbles won't serve.
1t is useless to claim that the building
obstruction cannot be helped. In Lon
don, the worlds most crowded city, 1t
is never permitted.

Political Points
The howIer

But Mr.. Hearst still howls Now he
says that ballot boxes were stuffed

by their testimony and doubtless others
will be found who will contradict it.
