PROHIBITION VOTE
CUTS DOWN TAFT'S
HEAD OF REPUBLICAN TICKET
MADE A TARGET
Resolutions Adopted by Water Party
Indorse Attitude of Herald and
the Crusade Started by
WoolWine

That the Prohibition vote will cut
deeply into the Republican vote is
shown by the great interest displayed
for E. w. Chain and the avowed con-
version of scores of Republicans.
At a rousing rally held Monday night
in the Christian church, at AlVarauo
street and Sunset boulevard, the large
audience vigorously applauded the
speeches of Rev. James w. Utter, for
mer associate pastor of the Broadway
Christion church, and Wiley j. Phillips
editor of the California Voice.
During the speech of Henry j. Cox
ward chairman, the temper of the
gathering was plainly manifest, and
after referring to Bryan's silence on
the liquor traffic Mr.. Cox asked: will
you vote for Canteen Bill Taft-Corpu-
lent Bill Taft-who has always been
the recipient of big fat plums from a
big fat party, which has waxed fat on
the corporations, which in turn nave
fairly fried the fat out of you and me?'
Appreciation of the Los Angeles
Herald was shown in the following res
olutions adopted by the Second ward
club at it's regular business meeting
held immedia tely previous to the rally;
whereas, The Prohibition party, be-
ing the only political party that stands
against the liquor traffic and the othclal
tolerance and practical license Oh lhe
social evil which prevails in many or
our cities, with it's unspeakable traffic
in girls; and
'Whereas, The Christian voters are
responsible by their support of those
units of the booze party'-the Demo-
cratic unit and the Republican unit
for the present disgraceful conditions;
be it
"Resolved, That we, the Second Ward
Prohibition club, do hereby set an ex-
ample of supporting that which is
right, even though perhaps unpopular,
in enthusiastically indorsing the efforts
of Thomas Lee Woolwine in his honest
and patriotic attempt to enforce the
laws against vice and unrighteousness
in our city; and be it further
"Resolved, That the commentator
and support of this organization be
extended to the Los Angeles Herald
for its brave fight and attitude in the
great crusade now being waged in Los
Angeles against wickedness and the
liquor evil"

The Bryan and Kern association of
the Sixth ward held its last big meet
ing at San Pedro hall last night.
George c. Martin, the Democratic
nominee for the assembly from the
Seventy-first district, spoke. He said:
This will be the last time 1 will have
an opportunity to talk to you in this
part of town before election, and l
want TO urge upon you the Importance
of keeping up with Vigor the good
fight you have been waging.
Southern California is lighting for
her very life. The railroad shackles
must be stricken off if we expect to
enjoy the benefits to which our position
and our natural advantages entitle us.

long as we are content to be repre-
scented in the legislature by men who
owe their political existence to the
railroads.
I'VE cannot expect to get the power

men who owe their first allegiance to
a corrupt political machine.
1.-THE railroads are not to be looked to
for an end TO horse race gambling, and
they will fight direct primaries TO the
last ditch.
Fair laws for the regulation of
freight rates will not be enacted by
Stanton, Leeds, Harmon and Tran
sue, the men who voted for the rail-
road commission bill and against the
reciprocal demurrage bill.
I'VE will not get a railroad legisla-
ture to send a man who is not a rail-
road man to the United States senate.
This district is being flooded with
circulars showing 1 am not an owner

II have paid taxes on personal prop

hope that wealth will not become a test

Il have made a fair, open fight for

AUTOMOBILE CLUB HELPS
WOOLLACOTT IN CAMPAIGN

Many of the members of the Auto
mobile club have enlisted their serV-
ices in II. j. Woollacott's behalf in
his race for supervisor.
His ability to handle the funds for
the taxpayers is regarded by them as
unquestioned, since he is one of the
largest in Los Angeles county, and one
in whom the people can place their
absolute trust
If for no other reason, the members
argue, this question of Mr. Woolla-
colts responsibility as protecting his
own interests from a citizens point of
view shauld alone be sufficient to guar
antee the people an economical admin
istration in event of his election.

II came back on the same boat
with Charles w. Morse said a Chi
cagoan. I'm talk about finance,
over a bridge game one afternoon, Mr..
Morse told us a story of sharp prac-
! tise.
He said there was coach that
used to run between Nola Chucky and
Paint Rock, a matter of some forty
miles. For lunch the coach stopped
at halfway house in Tin Can, and
here a good 50-cent meal was put out
cake and pie, coffee and tea, and all
the cold meats you could mention.
But the landlord of the halfway
house had a mean little secret dicker
with the driver, whereby as soon as
the travellers had paid for their lunch
and got fairly settled to it, a call
would come for an immediate start.
So off they'd all go gambling. They
had paid for so cents worth of food
and only eaten, you see, about 5 cents
worth.
But along came one day a traveller
with a sharp, bright eye. The land
lord found this chap, some ten min
utes after the coach had started on
again, still tucking~fn pie and ham
at terrible rate.
why, man. he said, you've let
the coach go without you

eating
suddenly the landlords face paled.

he had noticed a suspicious-looking
