 Old Kris K ringle was the title of the cantata given at the Christmas entertainments in the hall last Thurs day evening. The opening anthem, "Break forth into joy," was sung by Mrs. E. W. Darrow, Miss Ida M. Hall, Miss Julia Denman, Miss Alice s. Denman, Rev. E. W. Darrow, Messrs. Fred Williams, T. A. Den. man and Leon Woodworth; prayer by the pastor; recitation by Annie Safranek, entitled Welcome; ;'' an opening chorus by all the children i; characters in the sketch, "When Uncle Was Little Boy," were taken by Lura L. Allen. Helen Dimock, Ruth Green, Gardiner Hall. Fanny Toberman. Cornell Green, Alice Ser vice, Henry Safranek; a recitation by Clara Bench. Grandpa and grandma were impersonated finely by Leon Woodworth and Miss Alice Denman. The fairies were Harriett Smith, Clara Hall, Ruth Cahoon. Thomas A. $Denman acted the part of Santa Olaus to the delight of the children and satisfaction of all. Origin Kings bury, Ernest Smith. Teddy Worden. Holman Hall and Henry Richardson in their unique costume represented the Brownies. Solo by Mrs. Santa Claus Miss Julia Denman), Dear Old Fellow;' lullaby by Ruth Green 1: good night song by chorus. The above is very brief and by no means complete account of the entertain. ment. which was splendid one and reflected much credit on the commit. tee and on those who carried their several parts. The training of the children in their singing was largely done by Miss Margaret Mallory; the arrangement of the program in general by the head of the committee, Miss Ida M. Hall, which insured an ex. cellent entertainment. The deco- rations, which were arranged by Miss Rosa O. Hall, were at least fully up to the high standard of former years.

DEMOCRATS DISCUSS DANGER
IN TAXATION AMENDMENT

At luncheon yesterday members or
the Los Angeles county Democratic
central committee discussed political
affairs. The OCCASION was the weekly
meeting at the Hotel Westminster.
Treasurer Richmond Plant talked to
the committeeman on the necessity for
further study of proposed constitution
al amendment No. l, which will revolu-
tionize the system of taxation In Cali
fornia If passed.
Assessors Mallard and Hopkins both
assert that it will greatly reduce the
amounts of money paid by corporations
into the tax funds, and all of their pay
ments will go to the state, leaving the
rest of the taxpayers to pay for city
and county maintenance expenses.
Mr.. Plant said he believed that this
amendment was the answer of certain
corporations to the people who elected
Honest Ben Ward assessor against the
opposition OF the big companies.
Under this law II passed no corpora
tions would be obliged to assist In the
payments of any more bond issues such
as the owens river aqueduct, good
roads or similar enterprises.
There was informal discussion OF the
system afterwards.

Democrats Of Los Angeles are pre-
pairing to make a rush campaign during
October-the last four weeks Of the
battle.
Probably next week they will SEND
cut their flying squadron of automobile
orators.
Every. point in Los Angeles county
will be covered by these daily trips,
meetings being held at four and hve
points on each trip If necessary TO COW

The best speakers In Los Angeles VIII
do service aboard the machines, taxing
turns and devoting an entire afternoon
and evening to the work, but alternat-

The parties will start out about II
o'clock each day, so as TO reach the
first stopping point at noon, and then
make stops wherever a bunch of voters
has been previously notified to assem-
BILE.
BY means of autos the speakers can
get off the main travelled roads, can
hold meetings where ranchers assemble
and do effective work everywhere.
AT first probably one automobile VIII

SAYS CALIFORNIA IS
FOR THE COMMONER
Massachusetts Leader Declares PoIiti-
cal Atmosphere is surcharged with
Bryan Victory from Boston
to Los Angeles

George Fred williams, one of the
most prominent Democrats of the coun-
try, whose home is in Boston. Mass,
spent much of yesterday under the
guidance of Nathan Cole, national
Democratic committeeman, and saw
much OF Los Angeles in an automobile.
What he saw did not diminish his
high opinion of the city which is sec
ond only to his regard for the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. Williams is assigned to speak on
the Pacific coast, and he imparts much
of his own enthusiasm to his hearers.
"The Democratic party will win by a
big majority" said Mr.. Williams, with
an earnestness that carried conviction
to a large party of Los Angeles Demo-
Gratis assembled In Mayor A. c. Har-
per's Office yesterday morning.
''In 1890 l was elected to congress on
what we called a tidal wave. If the
sweeping victory of the Democrats at
that time was a tidal wave there is no
adjective strong enough to describe
what will occur next November.
Sees Sweeping Victory
II have travelled through every state
and city, from Boston to Los Angeles,
for months past, and everywhere find
indications of a sweeping victory for
the Democratic party.
wherever have been I have asked
Democrats IL they personally knew of
a Republican who would vote the
Democratic ticket this fall. / have
asked that question hundreds of times
and 1 have yet to find the first man
who would tell me no. Most of them
knew many Republicans, of their own
personal knowledge, who were dis
gusted with the Republican party and
policies and would vote for Bryan in
November.
missouri, for one, will go Democratic
without fight. 1t is SO certainly
Democratic that the politicians do not
have to turn finger there.
"Kansas Is another state which we
count on absolutely. A big fight is
being made there, but I am as sure
Kansas will go for Bryan as am that
Pennsylvania will go for Taft.
And all along the line 1t is the same.
Everywhere / turn l see indications of
a ground swell that will lift the Demo-
cratic party into power this fall.
"As far as California is concerned
can say nothing. l have just arrived in
your beautiful city and have yet to
make my conclusions. But / have been
in politics for nearly a quarter of a
century, and have learned to feel the
political atmosphere as well as the
material atmosphere.
;'If such feelings can be relied on you
can be assured California will poll a
big Democratic vote.
After his address at Pasadena Mr..
Williams caught further glimpses from
the starboard deck of an automobile of
the beautiful foothill country around
Los Angeles
At the Alexandria hotel scores Of
prominent Democrats awaited his COM
ing later to greet him and show him
what the real article OF Pacific coast
Bryan enthusiasm is.

terday and Today"
Mayor Lester's Welcome
Felix H. Lester, mayor of Albu-
ouerque, in welcoming the delegates to
the Irrigation congress, said:
"Those of us who have cast our lot
and made our homes in the so-called
arid region of the United States have
realized from the beginning that in irri-
CATION scientifically applied lay the SAL
yation and future greatness of this sec
tion. And we who have intelligently
watched the progress of events date the
first real step in the direction of scien-
tific Irrigation and the conservation of
the National Irrigation congress which
first met at Salt Lake City sixteen
years ago.
1.-The next great step In the progress
of this great movement was the passage
of the reclamation act, whereby mil
lions of acres of hitherto unproductive
lands have been reclaimed and made
productive beyond the predictings of
the enthusiasts who were called dream
ers and Missionaries in the earlier stages
of the movement for national irriga-
ton.
ITO the assemblage of this sixteenth
National Irrigation congress in Albu-
uueruue, to the results of its delibera-
tions. to the educational influences of
its conclusions, we confidently look for
substantial advantage in our struggle
for statehood, and we welcome you,
not only as allies in great cause,
which, in it's full frution will demon
strate that the so-called arid region of
our country is destined to be a great
agricultural region, not an acre of
which is without it's uses, but as well
as prospective promoters of that upon
which the happiness and prosperity of
our people depends statehood for New
Mexico"
Presidents Address
After expressing his thanks to the
neople of New Mexico for the manner
in which they received and entertained
the delegates to the congress, President
r. C. Goudy said:
1--WE have met to consider plans for
the wise development of governmental
policies looking to the conservation and
best use OF our national resources and
more particularly to the conservation.
preservation and use of our forests, our
streams and our lands.
"Some people assert now that recla-
nation has become a fact; that there
is nothing more for this association to
do. / replied that the work of this as
sociation will not be finished until all
the flood waters in the arid and semi
arid sections have been impounded for
irrigation power and other useful pur-
poses. 1t will not be finished till we

and took part in the exercises.
Near the close there was an OK
citing negro dialogue, and the
audience which was out on the
ground in front of the school house
crowded up to see and hear the
pupils. 1t seems that Wesley Brig

MILITARY COMPANY NEEDED.
That Benncttsville needs a mill
tary company is obvious. Suppose
there should be some great out
break, or something happen which
would require military aid, what
could be done if the company here
was out of service? And then too
there is no telling when it is need
ed. Right here at hand they could
be turned out on short notice and
protect the town and put down the
law breakers should occasion arise
while if the company is allowed to
be removed the town would have
no protection.
NO CHANCE Fer ANOTHER.
And the company needs to be
kept here for if it is removed then
there will be no chance again soon
to have another. AS stated before
there are several other towns in
the state clamoring for a place in
the militia and they are willing to
give the aid needed and to back
up the company rs it should be.
IMMEDIATE ACTION CALLED FOR.
There should be some action talk
