Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-08

question and most liberal in it's
policy regarding the vital issues
affecting the interests of the work
ing people; and,
Whereas, in the opinion of this
body, it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the laboring men of
this city should inform themselves
fully upon the issues an which la
Dor is interested, as those issues
are set forth in the Los Angeles
Herald; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by this body, that we
urge upon the members of organ
lied labor in this city and the
working people in general that
they read the Los Angeles Herald,
to the end that they may show
their full appreciation of the gen.
erous attitude of the Los Angeles
Herald toward the labor interests,
and also derive the benefits accru-
ing from the reading of the
articles, editorial and other,
which appear in the said Los An
geles Herald; and be it further
Resolved, That copy of this
resolution be forwarded to the
secretary of every union organi-
cation affiliated with the Central
Labor Council of Los Angeles .
In a circular letter, the Democratic
county central committee asks all
Democrats to give their support to The
Herald which is the leading Demo-
cratic newspaper of the west. Says
the letter:
THE issues between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties,
both local and national, in this
campaign are such as will require
for their proper treatment and
the success of the Democratic
party the utmost publicity.
THE opponents of the Demo-
cratic party and its candidates,
and especially of its national can
didates, are already opening their
campaign of vilihcation, abuse
and Misrepresentation. A sample
of this was furnished in the Los
Angeles Examiner under the date
of August 13, which contained alb
solutely false accusations against
Mr.. Bryan, our great candidate
for president, and among other
things it accused him of taking
advantage of the confidence of
a friend to draw a will for the
purpose of robbing his widow, a
malicious and contemplate state
ment which no self-respecting Re-
publican paper would make, and
which could only have found ex-
preston in the columns of a paper
controlled by that political rem
egade, w. R. Hearst.
Again, in the Examiner, under
date of August rs, 1908, Mr..
Hearst published his reasons for
accepting the request of the Iro-
quois club of San Francisco ask
ing him to resign from that club.
In this letter he says:
Friends and ex-brothers of the
Iroquois club, there is no Demo-
cratic party. I am pleased and
surprised to learn that the Iro-
quois club is still in existence, for
I thought that it had died the
death and had been peaceably
buried along with the last defunct
remnants of the Democratic party
of California
''It is needless to say to you that
had it not been for the stand the
Hearst papers took during the
campaigns of 1902 and 1906 those
two splendid advocates of the
Democratic party, Franklin Lane
and Theodore Bell, would both
have been elected to the governor
ship of this great state.
"We, therefore, ask all Demo-
Gratis who take the Examiner to
withdraw their SUPPORT from it
and transfer it to the Los Angeles
Herald, which is the only metro
politan daily Democratic paper
published in the state of Califor-
MIA, and which is making a splen-
did fight for both the national and
local Democratic tickets"
