his real issue is a lemon.
lone of the other candidates in the
fight against me, who also was put into
the race by Herrin and Parker to help
abuse me, made a speech up north-the
only speech he has made of any conse-
quence-and stated that he believed in
the Declaration of Independence, the
constitution of the United States and
the Ten Commandments. He seemed to
think these are the issues of the CAM
paign. and showed a great deal of So
licitude lest the Ten Commandments be
broken as a result of my candidacy.
sTANToN's VOTE
Anderson and Curry are the men
who are waging-the most desperate
battle to defeat me. So far as the
others are concerned / am not watching
them They don't bother me. Stanton
and Ellery won't poll. enough votes to
be worth counting. They are not eX-
pecting to be nominated. They were
put into the race to help denounce me.
These men have all ignored the issue
They don't refer to the Southern Pa
cific They don't dare to. The South
ern Pacific is their sustenance, the
source of their political entity,
their lord and master. Instead of aid
ing the people in their great battle
against this damnable Southern Pacific
machine they are setting up straw men,
at which they can strike their blows
and vent their oratory. These straw
men are fictitious issues. It's a good
roads straw man in the north; prune
straw man in the San Joaquin; lemon
straw men in Southern California, and
some other kind of a straw man else
where. It's anything but the real issue.
It's anything to blind the public to the
truth, anything to divert the attention
of the voters from the great fight which
we are waging on the most corrupt,
political organization in the United
States-an organization more corrupt,
more pernicious, more abominable than
the Tweed ring, or Tammany, or any
other political hierarchy in the world,
excepting none"
Mr.. Johnsons speech ELECTED many
rounds of applause, and at its con-
clusion he was rendered another oVa-
tion almost as enthusiastic as at the
opening of the meeting.
Marshall Stimson' introduced w. D..

ceiyed with much enthusiasm. Mr..
stephens is the Lincoln Roosevelt can
didate for congress from the seventh

g-essman McLachlan, one of the crea-
lures nominated and elected by the
Southern Pacific machine. Mr.. Steph-
ems made an eloquent address, and
was followed by Lee c. Gates and sew
eral prominent Lincoln Roosevelt can
didates of Los Angeles
The Veterans drum and fife corps
was present at the meeting last night
and it's music served as an inspiration
to many of the speakers, and the vari-
GUS patriotic airs aroused the audience
to a most enthusiastic pitch, which pre-
vailed until the close of the meeting.

print of coal-stained fingers on the
