Especial to The Herald.l

OCEAN PARK, Aug. By ma-
jority of 1O5 votes, consolidation WIN
Santa Monica was defeated today III
one of the warmest elections ever held
in this city. The vote stood l4i Tor
and 252 against. In the Venice DIS
trict where the ants were the strong
est the vote was 1874 to 81. In the
northern precinct there was a tie Vote'
50 to 60 being the count.
When the result was announced the
south end of the city went Wlld. w ms
ties were blown, cannon fired ana pells
rung. The partisans of the opposition
formed an impromptu parade ana
with hundreds of pieces of red hre anu
roman candles marched along the
ocean front to Pier avenue and PACK
to the Venice dance pavilion, Where
a iollification meeting was held.
In the streets of Venice fireworks
spluttered and popped, horns footed
and men, women and children cneereu
until they were hoarse.
Late in the evening a band was Sc
cured and large parade was hasIlly
formed that marched to the nome oL
Abbot Kinney. The father OF Venice
was serenaded and cheered until ne

He stood shivering in the night
breezes until the crowd Wearled OF
cheering, when he made brief speech
of thanks and retreated.
Carries in Santa Monica
The vote on the consolidation carried
in Santa Monica by a majority OF ~
votes. the result being $40 for and 448

light and while the election was not,
there were number of surprises
sprung, The consolidationists nave

their victory was a barren one IN the

and made good. :.
One peculiarity of the election in
both cities was that while the liquor

for the measure, those of ocean PARK
were opposed to the movement. The
| churches were against the consolida-
tion in this city, some ministers COM
! ing out in their Sunday sermons
! against it. The saloon element on
the north end hoped that If the merger
was effected it would eftectually
ouench a prohibition movement, While

the merger took place that the prom :

be strong enough to restrict the safe
of LIQUOR on the entire beach.
A. F. Webster, president of the San

when asked this evening what he

of the breweries, we'll spent, defeated

reorganize and go to it again, and the
next time we will win. We made good
in this city and we will carry the
proposition in Ocean Park next time.

SOUTHERN STATE MEN
ARRANGE SCHEDULE
Directors of League Denounce Action
of Vernon City Trustees In
Denying Application of
Scotty Allen

The managers of the baseball teams
which comprise the Southern State
Baseball league met yesterday evening
and drew up a schedule of Sunday
games which should result in some of
the best amateur ball which has been
witnessed during the past season
around Los Angeles The directors
had also a prolonged argument con-
cerning the Hermosa- Market National
game of last Sunday and 1t was de-
cided to call the game off and play 1t
over at some later date.
Nearly every member Of the league
who attended the meeting expressed IN
dignation at the treatment which
Scotty Allen received at the hands or
the Vernon trustees when he applied to
that august body for a license to
charge admission to baseball games at
Joy park in the city of Vernon. The
directors passed a resolution regarding
the action of the trustees as follows:
Resolved That the action of the
Vernon trustees i'm denying j. S Allen
a permit to charge admission to JOY
park be denounced as not being in mar
mony with the promotion of amateur
baseball players IN Southern California.
Mr.. Allen has spent his money, time
and labor in the loyal support of the
national game, and we pledge our as
sistance to him in every way to deteat
the action of the aforesaid trustees"
The schedule Of games arranged for
Sunday should bring out some of the
fastest and most closely contested
games played during the present sea-
son. When the Redondo nine crosses
bats with the Downey boys there
should result some real baseball, and
plenty of IT, Both mines are in form

ONE MAN LOST.
Raymond Robins Tells of the One
Man God Most Hates.


Extract from a speech OF Raymond
Robins at the Denver A. F. of L. con-
vention:
Men Of labor, when We fought our
way over Chilcoot Summit and went
over the glaciers of Alaska, there was
one truth hammered into US every
day of the three years we fought the
trail, and that truth was that men
can only win when they stand to-
gether. One man in Alaska is a lost
soul-he is as much lost as an unor-
ganized man in a big factory You
know the condition of the morgan
lied man. He has that lively liberty
that some scab employers of labor
preach so much about-the liberty to
| work twelve hours a day for fourteen
cents an hour, and then have his
| wages lowered so that his employer
can contribute $500 to the building of
some nice charitable institution 1t is
| that liberty the cat has in a tub out
| III the lake. The cat doesn't want to
stay in the tub-of course not. The
cat is at perfect liberty to jump out
| in the lake any time it doesn't like
| that tub. That is the way with the
unorganized man or woman. They do
not have to stay in the shop; they
| can go cut and starve any time they
| choose In that Alaska struggle, II
one man lay down the other could
not go On You could not do any
thing without your partner going hand
in hand with you. Out of the strug
gle of that mighty time, and it wa:
mighty struggle, there came a by
word in Alaska, and every one of the
twenty thousand miners who risket
their lives along the trail would risl
his life for that word. We used Il
say, Well. there are just thre'
things. God hates, and the first on
OF them is a quitter. the second is
quitter an dthe third is a gutter
