pressive was he about the business

real nucleus around which the secrets
were woven and he pointed out ways
means how Denver could do by the
way the other Reformers were doing
in the South. Rev. Ford packed and
pressed speech of two hours in a

MAYOR MOTT OPENS
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Is Working for the Success Of
the Bond and Annexation
Elections

OAKLAND. Oct. 31.-The campaign
to carry the water front bond and the
annexation elections has now begun in
earnest. with public meetings schede
uled for every night from now until the

districts which it is proposed to annex
to Oakland. and speaking in Oakland
also in favor of voting bonds for i'm
proving the water front.
The bond election will be held No
vember 10. and the annexation election
the following day. The reason for this
is that the municipal government does
not wish to saddle the cost of the bonds
upon the outlying districts. which
would be done if they were annexed
before bonds were voted.
Mayor Mott gave his personal as
surance last night to the citizerS OF
Elmhurst that they would enjoy a
cent fare. together with all the other
outlying parts affected by annexation.
as soon as they We're a part of Oakland.
These districts have been agitating for
a cent fare more than a year. and
many advocates for annexation were
made last night when Oaklands mayor
guaranteed that the fare would be re-
duced. Mayor Mott devoted the rest OF
his speech to the advantages that
would result if the outlying districts
of Fruitvale DimOnd, MelroSe, Clare
mont Fftchburg, Elmhurst and Allen
dale were annexed TO Oakland. He
showed that they would receive the
benefits of Oakland's street, fire. police.
electrical. school, play park and
library departments.
Mayor Motifs addresses IN the city
of Oakland will be devoted principally
TO the subject OF bonds He will show
the advantages that will accrue to the
city as a result of voting money for
the Improvement of the water front
and the erection of a city hall and
other needed municipal buildings
Tuesday evening he will speak on these
questions before the building trades
council The following night he will
appear before the members of the First
Baptist church. He will address the
First Ward club on the subject of
bonds November 9. His addresses from
now to the elections will be divided
between speeches on the bond election
and addresses on annexation in the
outlying districts. other Oakland pub

WOMEN SEEK TO
/. RULE Fairgrounds
Oakland Club Wants Mayor to
Keep Men in Minority on
Commission

OAKLAND, Oct. 31.-The women of.
commission of the city controlled by.
women. They say that three out of the
five commissioners should be wor1en,
and voiced these wishes in emphatic
language at a mass meeting today
They will present to Mayor Mott Z
request that the present vacancy in the
commission occasioned by the resigna-
tion of Miss Ethel Moore be filed by
the appointment Of a woman
The meeting was held in Pythinn
castle, and although the members of
the club had been notified of the time
and. the purpose of the meeting, no ir-
timation of it had been given to- the
public. Nevertheless, the meeting was
the most enthusiastic and the best at
tended that the Oakland club has held
for long time. Discussion of the pur
pose of the club to keep control of he
commission, was warm and several
speakers voiced their sentiments in
favor of it, but when it came to vote
there was no dissension. The club put
itself on record as strongly in favor of
three members of the playground COM
mission being women and. only two of
them being men.
Mayor Mott, who has the appointing
of the members of the commission.
seems to be in favor of the women's
side of the case. When he originally
made his appointments he named three
women and two men. The members he
appointed were A. s. Macdonald (ciialr-
mani, Mrs. George w. Bunnell. Mrs.
Cora E. Jones, Prof. c. E. Hudspeth
and Miss Ethel Moore.
Miss Moore resigned several months
ago because of poor health. Ru1nor
reached the women of the Oakland club
that the mayor intended to fill the va
eancy by appointing a man on the COM
mission; hence the mass meeting of to-
day.
The Oakland club Will hold a formal
meeting tomorrow, when the resolution
indorsed today will be officially adopt
ed, so that it may stand as the voice of
the club. Then a committee will: be
appointed to see that the resolution Is
presented:
