ROOSEVELT MAKES FINAL
APPEAL TO N. Y. VOTERS
Colonel Joins Stimson in State
ment About Election

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Theodore
Roosevelt joined the Republican can
didate for governor. Henry L. Stim-
son, tonight in a last appeal t. the
voters. His statement, in part says:
"As a citizen of this state, Jealous
of it's honor and it's good name and
earnestly solicitous of the welfare sof
all it's people, 1 wish to make a final
appeal to all my fellow citizens to
stand for Henry L. .5timson in this
fight which he is wag4ng so CALAMITY
for clean and honest politics, and for
genuine popular rule.
II regard this as far more than a
mere party contest. 1 appeal not only
to Republicans, for I feel that in this
contest we have the right to appeal
just as strongly to all upright and
far-sighted men, Democrats and In
dependents, no less than Republicans.
1.-THE election next Tuesday turns on
vital moral questions affecting the
whole future of this state and of our
people, and therefore it is our right
and our duty to appeal to the whole
body of honest citizens irrespective of
party ties. The powerful and crooked
political organization against which
we are pitted is now working hand in
glove with all the great sinister in
terests of crooked finance, the breath
of whose nostrils is special privil-
ege."

FIRST AMERICAN GRAND
OPERA WILL Be STAGED
Joe Redding's Libretto of Santa
Barbara Plot Meets Sue
cess in the East

Announcement has been received in
this city that the Redding-
grand opera, "Natoma," the scene of
which is laid in Santa Barbara, and
some of the characters in which are
members of noted Southern California
families, is to be given its first pro-
duction in Philadelphia February 6
by the Dippel opera company. Joseph
Redding, author of the libretto, is well
known socially in this city, having
been a frequent guest at clubs here.
He is a member of the Bohemian club
of San Francisco and was noted as a
bon vivant in that city. Recently he
moved to Chicago.
"Natoma" was originally to have
been produced last January by Ham
merstein, but this was interfered with
by the grand opera manager with
drawing from his old field of endeavor.
1t is claimed for "Natoma" that it
is the first real American grand opera
written. 1t is a tragedy. The first
act is on the Island of Santa Barbara,
the second the mission plaza, and the
closing act the interior of the Santa
Barbara mission. The libretto is by
Joseph Redding, and Victor Herbert
has composed the music. The scenery,
as well as costumes, were all designed
by Alexander Harmer, the Santa Bar
bara artist. Mr.. Harmer is undoubt-
edly the best qualified artist for this
work, as for twenty yeare he has de-
voted himself almost entirely to old
Spanish and mission day subjects. AS
the time of the opera is 1885, the pos
sibilities for picturesque effects and
settings are apparent.

Col. Will Make Seven Speeches
as Windup to the New
York Fight

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Nov. 6.-After
a week of travelling, in which he COW
cred more than 5000 miles and made
| speeches in New York. Maryland, Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa, Theodore Roose-
welt returned to Oyster Bay today for
| a brief rest before plunging into poll
tics again.
Beginning early tomorrow he will
make seven open air speeches of ten
minutes each-five of them before 10
o'clock then visit his Office for a con-
| ference and luncheon, and dash out
again for two speeches in the after
noon.
Mr.. Stimson, candidate for governor,
whom Roosevelt is supporting, will
speak twice tomorrow. In the evening
both Roosevelt and Stimson will be
guests of the Hungarian Republican
club on the east side, where both will
speak.
The colonel reached New York from
Cleveland this morning, and after Wis
iting a physician to have his throat
treated came to Oyster Bay by auto
mobile.
When the colonel finishes his speech
tomorrow night he will have finished
one of the hardest fights of his polit-
ical career.
1t was a fight into which he has said
from the first he was drawn unWil-
lingly, and which he took up, he main
tains, only because he believed cir
cumstances had made it necessary for
him first to lick the bosses" in his
own party and then to take up the
fight for the ticket which he had
helped to select
In all his speeches Col. Roosevelt
asserted the main issue before the peo-
pie of New York was whether they
would accept a corrupt alliance be-
tween Tamnany and Wall street.
Charges that he was seeking to make
himself dictator he characterized as
"twaddle."
Nevertheless, the attacks made upon
him by John A. Dix, the Democratic
candidate for governor, and by Former
Judge Alton B. Parker, who once ran
against him for president, grew SO
severe that he retorted in kind
Now the fight is nearly over. 1t is
generally admitted that its result will
go beyond the confines of the state
and reach as far ahead as 1912, but
what the result will be is a matter in
which the colonel processes to take
only an impersonal interest.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-07

Associated Realty board of Californi;
replies to Assessor Mallard in part a
follows:
1t had been confidently expected
that City Assessor Mallard's prom
ised analysis of the proposed tax
alton amendment would be as frank
and as fairly stated as have been
the facts and figures propounded by
the taxation commission, Of which
Professor Carl c. Plehn of the
chair of economics Of the Universi-
ty is the expert secretary.
That Mr.. Mallard has not kept
the faith is profoundly disappoint-
ing His summary" in the Ex-
press of Friday evening, Nov. 4,
is wholly misleading and so far
from the truth that his perversion
of the facts gives rise to grave
suspicion that the city assessor is
willfully attempting to deceive the
taxpayers of this city and county.
That this is not surmise, but is
founded on indisputable evidence,
let any unprejudiced person de-
eide after reading the incontrover-
tible testimony, based on sworn
statements on file, which are here
offered in refutation of Mr.. NAL
lard's deceptive figures:
ARGUMENT BASED ON INQUIRY
No wild statements" have been
disseminated as he alleges, in sup
port of Constitutional Amendment
No 1. All the arguments and the
statistics in proof are the result
of the most careful and searching
inquiry, avoiding all guesswork.
The high standing of Professor
Plehn as a tax expert is, in itself,
enough to controvert Mr.. Mallard's
unworthy inuendo in this regard.
To the contrary the only wild
statements noted are those he
himself has made and in evidence
OF this let the appended parallel
table speak. Mr.. Mallard denies
that the proposed amendment will
raise the taxes of corporations,
and, in alleged substantiation, he
states that under the new gross
earning" system the leading local
public utility companies would
pay to the state as follws:
