Seriousness Is Keynote

1t was a political meeting, but wholly
ering. 1t was a popular reception, but
wholly unlike the conventional recep-
tion. The big crowd was enthusiastic
to the last degree, but serious in that
enthusiasm Indeed, seriousness was
the keynote of the unique meeting.
They waved American flags tiled with
white ribbon bearing the Heney league
motto, Equality before the law" They
cheered flag and motto. They cheered
for Heney, for Langdon, for the men be-
hind the graft prosecution. They
cheered Hiram w. Johnson and John W.
Sweeney. They cheered Sweeney's
structures upon Fickert and the men
behind his candidacy. They Kissed the
name of the Chronicle and the gutter
weeklies. and finally they refused to
consider the meeting at an end until
Langdon secured the cooperation of
the band to enforce his declaration
that this meeting stands adjourned"
Heney's speech was an unImpassioned
recital of the history of the gra ft
prosecution and the necessity for it's
continuance. 1t frequently became
earnest dialogue between the speaker
and audience. 1t was less than half
the expected length. The warmth of
the reception accorded him was too
much for Heney. He was compelled
to admit that, for the first time in his
life, he was unable to accede to his
auditors demand for more"
The passions of the big audience were
played upon and brought out by John
w. Sweeney, former president of the
labor council who heaped charges
upon Charles NJ. Fickert and his sup
porters, ranging from cowardice to
embezzlement
