possible to do SO, and the automobile in

time, we would be amazed to learn of the
channels of American industrialism which

1t would be absolute folly to attempt to
throttle the motor car progress, for we
are just beginning to learn the practical
Uses to which it can be put, and are only
seeing the commencement of the great in
f1uence which the motor car will exert
upon our modern civilization. We have
only scratched the surface of the pos
sible demand for this convenience and
necessity, and so long as We do not in
crease the total production from year to
year faster than the market develops we
will stimulate still further the use of one
of the most remarkable inventions Of
modern times.

WHITL0CK ADVOCATES
FREE SPEECH RIGHTS

TOLEDO, O., Sept. 28.-Mayor Brand
Whitlock is aroused over the recent
rules of the Toledo police force in ar
resting William Patterson, a SOCIALIST
speaker, for addressing a crowd IN
front of the local postoftice, and mas
made public a letter to ]. ]. Mooney,
director of public safety, instructing
him to issue an order to the police
force that as long as he Is mayor Tree
speech will be allowed in Toledo, and
that any officer hereafter interfering
with any one who is making Speech
no matter where, or on what subject,
will be instantly dismissed from the
force. The arrest was made two weeks
ago during the absence of Mayor
Whitlock from the city. The mayor
Immediately upon his return person
ally investigated the case, and in his
letter to Mooney says that the police
used bad judgment in making the ar
rest, which they claim was done for
the purpose of maintaining open traffic
through the streets.
What 1 wish to say" writes Whit
lock, "is this: That under no circum-
stances and on no account are police
men to interfere with men or women
who are peaceably speaking in the
streets or anywhere in public. If the
crowds are so large that they unduly
obstruct the streets or sidewalk, let q
passageway be made through the
crowd Under no circumstances must
the police arrest or molest public
speakers. 1t shall not truthfully be
said while am mayor that the right
of free speech is officially interfered
with in Toledo"
Mayor Whitlock, in a letter to Pat
terson, tenders him an official apology
which Whitlock believes was due him
for the policeman's action in causing
his arrest.

WOOLWINE WILL STRIKE
At COUNTY SPOILSMEN
Representative of Good Govern
ment Policies to Speak at
Simpson Auditorium

Thomas Lee Woolwine is likely not
only to make a sensational attack on
existing conditions in certain county
offices at the good government meeting
in Simpson auditorium tomorrow night,
but he probably will devote some time
to advancing new arguments for the
placing of county politics throughout
on a good government basis. His re-
searches on the administration of
county affairs have brought out GUS
toms which he believes must be mend
ed, both for cleaner politics and as
we'll for a saving of taxes.
Mr.. Woolwine has secured proofs COW
ering a number Of facts which his good
government supporters think empha-
size the necessity of placing city
and county affairs on a basis above
the spokesman, and he will be ready to
substantiate statements which he VIII
make that might be regarded as start
ling in their nature.
Lynn Helm, leading attorney and
former president of the Los Angeles
Bar association, will also speak on
good government issues. Herbert M.
Haskell of Long Beach will also be
one of the speakers. Mr.. Haskell Is an
experienced campaigner, and before
coming to Los Angeles county was one
of the leading supporters of Senator
LaFollette in Wisconsin.
The meeting will have as chairman
S. C. Graham, president. Of the Good
Government organization, who is now
devoting the greater portion of his
time to the success Of the good gov
ernment ticket.

HEARST PAPERS SHOW
ANIMUS IN CAMPAIGN
State Press Views Yellow Jour-
nails Attack on Judge
LaWIOr as Unfair

The state newspapers, regardless of
politics, are pointing out the animus
shown by the Hearst papers of Los
Angeles and San Francisco against
certain Democratic candidates, par
ticularly Judge William 2. Lawlor.
Comments have been so freely made
on this unfair attitude that the San
Francisco Bulletin gives the following
explanation:
''During the graft prosecution Will
liam Randolph Hearst. through his To-
cal newspaper, showed his sympathy
for the imperiled millionaires by car
looming and maligning officials who
dared to assume that captains of in
dustry should be held accountable for
infractions of law. The graft prosecu-
tions are over, but Mr.. Hearst is still
following the old trail. The rich hribe-
givers have never forgiven Judge
William p. Lawlor for his answering
stand for exact and equal justice;
neither has Mr.. Hearst. Judge Law
lor is now a candidate for associate
Justice Of the supreme court Of Cali
fornia. The rich bribe-givers and all
the powers that they can influence are
fighting him; so is Mr.. Hearst.
mot daring to attack Judge Law
lor at this time for fear of disastrous
effect on. their circulation, the Hearst
Good Government league of Los An
geles, a large and influential body of
public-spirited citizens, indorsed both
Judge Lawlor and his running mate,
Judge Bledsoe of San Bernardino. This
action was taken at big and enthusi-
astic meeting. Furthermore, the adop-
ton of the resolution of Endorsement
was an important piece of political
news. The Los Angeles Times felt
compelled to tell its readers what had
happened, and did so, but not even a
line concerning the Endorsement of
Lawlor and Bledsoe appeared in Will
liam Randolph Hearst's Los Angeles
Examiner
"Hearst had no quarrel with Judge
Bledsoe, but he could not mention him
without mentioning Judge Lawlor, and
so he decided not to print the news.
And in all matters showing the en-
thusiasm with which the people OF the
state are rallying to the support Of
Judge Lawlor the Los Angeles Ex-
aminer and the San Francisco Exami-
ner will continue to be silent, for Will
liam Randolph Hearst is of the opinion
that in this way he can be of service
to his old law-breaking friends without
arousing the resentment of the hun
dreds of thousands of voters who see
in Judge Lawlor's candidacy an OPP
portunity to ADVANCE the cause of
equality before the law"

BELL PROMISES TO FIGHT
ORLENTALS IF ELECTED
Democratic Leader Says He viii
Oppose AsiatiC Invasion

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 2S.-Theodore Bell
and Il. j. Spellacy addressed about
500 people here tonight. Mr.. Bell said,
in part: 1--WE find public attention CEN
tered upon a question of Southern
Pacific control in politics of California,
and before voters of this state express
their choice on election day they must
be satisfied that the man who is hon
ored by that choice is absolutely right
on this question. The political SUI
premacy of the Southern Pacific is not
the product of a few days or few
months. 1t uns back many years
through the history of California.
1.-THE Democratic campaign for the
governorship of California four years
ago was relentlessly waged against the
political influence of this great rail-
road corporation.
"There is no real ground for conflict
between capital and labor Their in
terests are joint and reciprocal. be-
lieve implicitly in the organization of
labor. Trades unionism has incalcul-
ably improved the lot of millions of hui
man beings. 1t came in response to a
law of necessity, and it will remain so
to bless myriads of homes where, after
the heat and burden of the day. men of
toll retire to share their reward with
wife and children.
at am opposed to Asiatic immigra-
ton, whether it be Chinese, Japanese.
Hindu or any other oriental people, and
l shall not hesitate to use the law and
full powers of the state to prevent
their encroachment upon the state, if
elected governor I shall overhaul our
entire school system and where modifi-
cation and changes can be made to
improve its value and efficiency 1 shall
not hesitate to do all that lies in my
power. I shall not halt with the over
hauling of our schools, but shall pro-
ceed to thoroughly renovate all of our
public institutions They need to be
cleaned, swept and Furnished"
