RICHMOND PEARSON

CAPTAIN RICHMOND PEARSON
HOBSON, who is one of the fore
~ most and most practical llving
authorities on American naval affairs,
in a talk yesterday with represen-
tative of the Los Angeles Herald, said
there was a strong, reasonable GER
tainty of the election of Bryan and
Kern, and added that if the people OF
California realized the importance to
this state of a national Democratic
victory which would bring with 1t pos
tive assurance of ample and adequate
coast defense and the maintenance OF
fleet on the Pacific, California would
not only "go Democratic" but would
support the American or Democratic
ticket by great majority.
'"rhe matter of supreme and vital
importance to this nation at present
is that the fleet should not leave the
Pacific ocean," he continued.
"Two years ago, when the Japanese
school incident occurred in San Fran
cisco, our Republican government had
to call on California and San Fran
cisco to give up the right to regulate
the schools according to their own
wishes and to comply with the wishes
of Japan, because of the fact that we
were defenseless in the Pacific ocean
while our fleet was on the other side
of the world. This is the first time in
the history of America when anything
of the kind has happened.
All Precedent Defied
"Prior to this case there have been
eleven cases involving European ma
tions; instances in which subjects OF
these foreign countries were lynched
or assassinated. Our central govern
ment in such cases refused to inter-
fere in any way with the action of the
individual states. Fortunately, the
European nations are held in a bal
ance of power, and, being occupied in
Europe, have not been free to press
their cases in America.
Last year, however, the situation
was different. There is no balance OF
power in Asia. There is not battle
ship of any European or American
nation permanently in the Pacific
ocean, but there is a fleet of Japanese
battleships, with 100000 armed men
right behind them and 100000 tons OF
transport service ready for transporta-
tion work. With our fleet on the other
side of the world, Japan could have
raided the whole Pacific coast, includ-
ing Los Angeles; and Los Angeles
would have been the most tempting
and accessible of all points, on account
of the splendid harbor at San Pedro
not a single gun to prevent it's being
occupied by an enemy.
Fleet lnsures Safety
"This situation caused the president
to order the fleet to the Pacific. If the
fleet is i'm the Pacific, Japan can dc
nothing until after a general engage

REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS
ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNING
IN INTEREST OF TAFT

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, Oct. 81
George A. Neal, vice chairman Of the
Democratic state committee and active
head of the Democratic campaign in
this state. sent telegram today to
President Roosevelt, complaining of the
activity of certain officenolders in the
compaign. The telegram follows:
1.-THE federal officeholders in this state
are making your position of not per-
mitting pernicious political activity by
federal officers the laughing stock of
the state.
IT especially refer to Frank H. Tyree,
marshal for the southern district; Chas.
d. Elliott, marshal for the northern dis
trict and George M. Bowers, fish COM
missioner.
Their pernicious political activity in
this campaign is a common notoriety.
We are ready with positive proof at
any time of their guilt"

ment. If it is on the other side of the
world Japan can raid our coasts and
acquire our outlying possessions with
out any resistance, long before our
fleet can get around. and then our
fleet would be helpless to relieve Ha-
wall and the Philippine islands, or to
inflict any injury in retaliation upon
Japan.
"Now that the fleet is in the Pacific
ocean the Japanese endeavor is to pro-
duce the impression that there is no
need of an American fleet in that
ocean, and thus to bring about its
withdrawal.
although the president was the
agent who caused California to sur
render the right to local self-govern-
ment two years ago he is now himself.
in the face of earnest advice to the
contrary, completing the preparations
for taking the fleet out of the Pacific
ocean and leaving the Pacific coast de-
fenseless, in the same condition it was
in two years ago. He is following this
indiscreet course also in the face of the
fact that Japan forbids America to pass
a Japanese exclusion law, position
absolutely untenable, as it denies to
us the exercise of sovereignty in our
own territory.
No Protection Promised
although the central government
cannot guarantee to interior individual
states on, the seaboard in, both oceans
q Republican form of government and
cannot protect them from invasion, the
Chicago platform, reactionary in its
spirit, fails to make the provision called
for i'm the premises. Moreover, the re-
dictionary leaders in congress cut down
the battleship program from four to
two and reduced the afortification pro-
gram from $SS,000.000, the sum re-
quested by the president, to less than
a quarter of that amount.
"The Denver platform, on the other
hand, calls for the exclusion of Jap
anese and for strong navy, adequate
to protect us in both oceans at the
same time.
~ do not see how the people of Los
Angeles, of California and of the Pa
cific coast in general can hesitate as
to their duty in the matter of choice
between the two political parties.
Every patriotic American will vote for
Bryan and Kern"

Wide thoroughfareS apart from the
business section had been selected for
formation points, off Seventh and Los
Angeles streets, and city club after club
marched to its designated place with-
out hitch or delay
The sixteen. wagons carrying trans
parencies and red fire apparatus took
their station quickly, and the out-of-
town clubs dropped into their rem
devious as fast as their special trolley
stsars reached huntington depot and dis
missed theif passengers. al
Grand Marshal Simons and his aids
dispatched the five bands to their sew
eral divisions, and shortly after
o'clock all was in readiness for the
starting signal.
Fine Horsemanship Shown
The horsemen made a splendid show
ing. All the aids rode astride fine
horses. Most of them were skilled
riders, and the red glare with the dir
of the cheering made striking scenes
the animals prancing continually. Mrs
Marie Pozzo, wife of Aid Pozzo, made
fine picture, riding her fayorite
mount
Several of the aids were former
rough riders, notably E. S. Russell ano
e. B. Vaughn, both of whom served
with and knew Roosevelt, but are Dem
ocrats.
The out-of-town clubs made fine
showing. Downey and San Pedro came
in special cars and were among the
earliest arrivals. Alhambra, Azusa'
Duarte, Monrovia, Glendale, Tropieo
Pasadena and the foothill and beach
towns all had their quota of marchers
Some of them carried unique trans
parencies, that of Downey marked
"Jesus had his Judas. Washington his

The auto squadron was picturesque

pushed it around the corner.
e. M. Stewart carried the "Goe

club, and its glaring reminder of Taft's
immortal answer attracted comment al
every point.
Many Unique Features
Many unique features were provided
by the different organizations. Pre-
