Marion put her hand for moment
on his coat sleeve; he looked at Dick
sic with another laugh and spoke to
her because he dared not look toward
Marion. Going back tonight, do you
say? You never are?"
Dicksie answered quite in earnest:
ooh, but we are. We must!"
Why did you come, then? It's
taken half the night to get here, and
will take night and half at least to
get back
I'VE came to ask Mr.. McCloud for

There was silence before the fire.

that he has been influenced by wrong

Judge Works then discussed the ar

had said that he wanted to see a bill
of particulars covering the charges
against Mayor Harper. He referred to
The Herald's series on the question, rs

the audience cheered his statements.

people of Los Angeles the opportunity
to do great things. There was never
time in the history of the city when
it needed more than it does right now
purely business and not political ad-
ministration of its affairs. To give it
such an administration the mayor must
be able to call to his aid in the differ
ent boards and committees through
which the city must be largely admin
istered, not politicians, not men who
are seeking place and preferment in
their own personal interests, and not in
the interests Of the city, but upright
honest, conscientious citizens whose
aim will be to conserve the interests Of
the city and protect it from the evil in.
fiuences of many kinds that beset it in
common with all other large cities. I
hope you are free from promises or

party ties that will prevent you from
giving the city this sort of administra-
ton. 1 supported you with the convic-
ton that you have the courage, the in
dependence and the integrity necessary
to achieve these results.
Personally I am much pleased at
your election. I do not conceal from
myself, however, the fact that much of
the work that was done to secure your
election was done by politicians who
will expect return for their services
in your behalf in the way Of offices and
emoluments. There, in my judgment,
is one of the great temptations and
dangers to your coming administration.
Every man is and should be grateful
for services rendered him OH an occa-
sion of that kind, and he may be led to
express his gratitude in way not con-

ducive to the public good. I sincerely
hope that you may be able to discrim-
mate between the disinterested citizen
and the interested politician when you
come to dispense favors as a public
officer. am expecting much from your
administration, and am very hopeful
that I shall not be disappointed"
'To be perfectly plain about it," con-
tinued Judge Works, after reading the
letter, Mayor Harper has betrayed his
trust as a public officer.
81 was called upon by the Municipal
league to protest to Mayor Harper soon
after his election against some of the
appointments he had made.

from the body of the hall
1.-THE charges have been definitely
made" continued Judge Works. that
the mayor has been connected with
c tain corporations; that various per-
sons connected with saloons, places Of
vice and similar institutions have been
invited to subscribe for stock in these
corporations. What does that mean @

and Judge Works read the following
letter, dated December 5, 1906:

ton as mayor Of the city of Los An
