ENTHUSIASM MARKS
NON-PARTlSAN RALLY
COUNCIL CHAMBER CROWDED
TO THE DOORS
Judge Sherman Page Presides as
Chairman of Meeting and Sticks
to Rulings When Decisions
Are Questioned
Especial to The Herald.l ]

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 14-Enthus-
ism in the highest degree marked the
non-partisan meeting of Santa Moni-
cans at the city hall last night. The
council chamber was crowded to the
doors and among the crowd was a large
sprinkling of women. A majority of the
candidates for the various city offices
were present.
Judge Sherman Page, who is said to
have been behind the calling of the
meeting, acted as chairman. Frequent
ly his rulings were questioned by men
in the audience, but he stuck to his
decisions with Cannon-like doggedness.
The meeting lasted until a very late
hour, and many of the candidates had
an opportunity to give the voters an
idea of how they would conduct the
offices If elected. The interest CEN
tered on the mayoralty candidates, who
were called on first, as the strongest
fight in the present campaign Is among
them.
Mayor T. H. Dudley was the first
one called on by Chairman Page, but
the mayor failed to come forward. He
did not come near the meeting, accord
ing to several of his friends. They
said that Dudley could not see any
reason why he should attend such a
meeting, as the people of Santa Monica
know his record and it was not nee
essary for him to go over it in detail
for them. The chairman severely
scored candidates who failed to meet
the voters of Santa Monica" under
these conditions.
DR.. p. S. Lindsey, surgeon for the
Los Angeles Pacific Railway company,
told the crowd what he would do If
elected. When the question was asked
as to what he would do in regard to
reducing the mayors salary, a squab-
bic ensued between Tom Hampton, a
local real estate man, and Chairman
Page. Hampton claimed that the ques-
tion was unfair and entirely too per-
sonal. A point of order was raised by
another in the audience and it was sew
eral minutes before Roy Jones, another
candidate for mayor. could be called on.
Jones made the best and most busi-
ness like speech by far of any of the
candidates. He got a great deal of ap-
plause from the good-natured crowd.
Major Robert Dollard amused the
audience considerably with his pro-
posed plan of holding the office of
mayor If he gets it, without salary,
if that can be arranged.
The other candidates to the number
of about a score were called on and
made short addresses. The meeting
was considered a huge success by the
citizens who called it, as 1t gave the
voters a better opportunity to get
closer to the candidates than they
could have done in any other way. An
other meeting of the same kind is
planned for the south side next week.

MRS. POTTER's ADDRESS.

The address of Mrs. j. l.. Potter,
missionary in Persia, was an interest
ing feature of the afternoon. She gave
an extended description of the topog.
raphy of Persia, dwelling upon the
sandy sterile wastes that constitute so
much of the surface, the limited re.
sources and the general poverty. She
described the wearisome journey over
the dry sandy plains that until recent
ly was unavoidable before one could
reach Tehersn, the city in which the
speaker was stationed as missionary.
No grass, no trees; miles and miles of
dusty roads. At long intervals a little
water may be seen; ; here grow few
trees and little grass The traveller
beholds few scattered villages and
here and there between solitary hab.
itation. all rejecting in the poverty
of their appearance the Elimited re-
sources of the land.
The long and weaTisome journey ov-
er the sandy wastes and the,depTessing
aspect of the land formerly had the
effect Of keeping. g.strangers out of the
country. But Persia is no longer the
land that it was. The spirit of i'm
provement has reached it. Modern
roads have leen built and modern
methods of travel adopted. although
reckless driving, due to the inherent
optimism OF the people, is a factor that
prevents a carriage ride on the rocky
Persian roads from being real JOY.
Instead OF occupying ten days as was
the case Il few years ago when people
travelled on horse back the Journey
through Persia to Tehersn now can be
made in less than four days
few years ago the missionaries in
visiting the natives were obliged to
conform with custom aud sit on the
floor All this is changed. There are
now few houses without tables and
chairs.
Not only in this but in other ways
the Persian feels European influence.
There is great desire for education.
This desire for enlightenment, Mrs.
Potter declared, opens the way for great
results in missionary work.
IL the education of the Persian is
not directed by and founded on the
fear of the living God it will not avail
much. The Persian must be delivered
from his superstition and sensualism.
Under Mohammedism the natives
are degraded and are not much better

old II In Rhyme.

The late Rev. John Skinner. author
or Annals OF Scottish Episcopacy.' -
was first appointed to a charge in Mon.
trose, whence he was removed TO
Banff, and ultimately to Forfar. Aft
er he had left Montrose it reached his
ears that an Ill natured insinuation
was circulating there that he had been
induced TO leave this town by the
temptation of better income and of
fat pork, which, it would appear. was
plentiful in the locality of his new in
cumbency. Indignant at such an as.
persion, he wrote a letter. directed to
his maligners, vindicating himself
sharply from it. which he showed to
his grandfather, John Skinner of
Langside, for his approval. The old
gentleman objected to 1t as too lengthy
and proposed the following pithy sub
stitute:
Had Skinner been of carnal mind,
AS strangely ye suppose,
Or had he even been fond of swine
He'd ne'er have left Montrose.

EVENING SESSION

\ popular meeting was held last
evening, Rev. w. c. Mccormack, past.
or OF Grove church, presiding. The
Rev. Stanley White, d. D.. secretary
of the New York board, delivered all
address.
The Rev. DR.. White, who is an earn
est worker in the cause of missions.
spoke at length on the developments
among the nations OF China, Japan,
Persia, Turkey and others, which he
regarded distinctively as an answer to
the Christian s prayer. Along with the
overthrow Of governments is dis
satisfaction in the old systems of re
ligion, which can not be concealed.
Not only are the numbers of CON
verts to the Christian religion in East
ern countries to be taken into account.
but also the quality OF those converts.
The speaker said that among the sec
ond and third generations of Christ
ians in China are characters that for
devotion and pure godliness would put
to shame many a protesting Christian
in our own country. He drew pict-
uTe of the Hindoo mother throwing her
loved child into the sacred river to ap-
pease the wrath of the heather god
and endeavored to show what that de
votion would mean and accomplish
when laid at the feet of Jesus Christ.
The transformation in Japan, Korea,
China and Turkey. where alorg with
the old forms of government, time
honored educational systems are pass-
ing away. reveal distinctly the hand
of God Nothing else, the speaker said,
prayed and the prayer is being snsw-
cred. Light is flooding the East.
Modern schools patterned after Am
erican institutions are taking the place
of the old institutions. Educated ma
tives in China bear witness to the fact
that the new system Of learning has
grown from the seed sown by the mis-
sionary schools.
The old religions of the East, in an
swer to prayer, are beginning to totter.
1t is now a time for renewed mission
ary effort in order to supply the peo-
pie with a new system of religion in
place of the old. Otherwise the ma
tives will drift into sngostioism, if not
atheism.
