through the county in a whirlwind
roundup.
The speakers descended on the towns
between Monrovia and Pomona, found
the voters alert and responsive and
not only made telling speeches but
left thousands of pamphlets and liter
ature of all kinds for distribution.
Messrs. Cartwright, Richmond Plant,
Joseph Simons. DR.. j. s. Allison OF
Monrovia and Capt. e. p. frey OF
Pomona formed the corps for the first
day and all were troubled with hoarse-
ness before night was over. The strain
of speaking in the open was hard, but
the results were deemed amply eff
fective. The wind-up at Pomona was
in a hall, however.
Three autos conveyed the squadron.
Mr.. Simons' machine started from Los
Angeles with Senator Cartwright, Mr..
Plant, Mr.. Simons and a Herald re-
porter At Monrovia the other autos
were in waiting, F. II. Osler of Po-
mona having brought one and DR.. AL
lison having furnished the other.
Starting at Monrovia at noon, Azusa,
Covina, Glendora, San Dimas and Po-
mona We're visited respectively, occu-
pants of one machine firing a broad
side of speeches. then proceeding to
the next town and leaving the occu-
pants of the other two machines to
direct more volleys at the audiences.
Local committeeman had prepared
welcomes for the visitors, decorations
had been displayed and townspeople
including the fair sex, were out in
force at each point to get the latest
inspiration from men who had studied
the Denver platform in all its varia-
tions.
Warmly Welcomed
At Monrovia the members of the
squadron held an informal reception at
the hotel after the speaking and found
warm greetings.
At Covina the senior class of the
high school attended in a body with
notebooks, with view to preparing
political economy essays as soon as
they have heard the Republican side
of the campaign issues presented. The
students are relying on both Democrat
ic and Republican campaigners for
data.
At Azusa Vice President Judd, who
is a member OF the club, led the hand
shaking squad. He is 80 years old
and as sprightly as most men only half
his age.
Glendoras audience was swelled by
many of the workmen returning from
their labors on nearby ranches and at
industrial plants.
At San Dimas the fire chief, E. A.
Wood, rang the fire bell and an en-
thusiastic response of breathless men
and boys resulted, all of them coming
prepared to do battle with flames.
Some came on wheels, some on horse
back. The chief complimented them
on their quick response to the bell and
dismissed them. Noting that an auto
surrounded by crowds stood on the
public street the fire-fighters added
themselves to the crowd and heard the
latest Bryan doctrines eXpounded.
Senator Cartwright touched mainly
on the bank guarantee plank and the
tariff as affecting citrus interests;
blamed the recent panic on the credit
system and sounded a warning on CEN
tralization of wealth.
He spoke of the tendency of men to
pay but little attention to their re-
iigion and their politics. A man pur-
chasing piece of real estate will make
q long and careful examination, he de-
clared, but when selecting a president,
he usually leaves it to the other fell
low.
Deals with Tariff
The speaker stated that in the past
years the Republicans had made it ap-
pear that to tamper with the tariff
question was to invite panic, but that
the people had experienced the panic
without tampering. The great major
ity Of panics had been under Republic
can administration, he declared.
The Democrats now proposed chang
ing the harmful schedules which .al-
lowed trust-made goods to be sold
abroad cheaper than they were here,
he declared.
''Reduce the tariff on trust-made
goods to a point where we can COM
pei the big trusts to treat the Ameri-
can people fairly. That is what Will
liam Jennings Bryan advocates" he
said.
The speaker took up phases of the
recent panic, in a discussion of the
banking question
He declared that joker in the bank
ing laws of the country, as formulated
by a Republican administration, was
largely responsible for the panic of
1907, and to illustrate, said:
You take $100,t50 to bank and de-
posit it. The banker loans your $780,
900 to another man, who deposits it.
The 100000 is again loaned, loaned,
and so on, until in some cases the
banker was getting so and 60 per cent
on the original 100000.
"To put a limit ON the number of
times this original 100000 could be
loaned, the Republicans passed a law
10 Ine eHeCl that UdIlhS ndQ TO keep
10 per cent reserve on hand, but they
stipulated this reserve could be kept
in the reserve banks.
Consequently, when you deposited
100000 a half of this Is per cent was
sent to the reserve bank in San Fran
cisco, in order to establish San
Francisco correspondent for the local
bank. The San Francisco bank sent
It's money to the great money marts
In New York, which sent back word
TO make the bank put up the other
half of the Is per cent and send it 71h
per cent of the reserve. That left the
bank without it's reserve funds.
When money became scarce and the
bank wanted it's Is per cent
back it couldn't get it, and the crash
came.
"The Democratic plan is to have the
Uniteda States guarantee deposits in
national banks by means of a created
reserve. The plan is now in success
'ul operation in Oklahoma"
Senator Cartwright spoke of the
of wealth In the hands |
If a few, and promulgated the Demo-
,ratic remedy for that, which was a |
graduated system of taxation upon in
'omes, and also an Inheritance tax.
Reverting to the panic question, he
