THE IDEA

Those who perfected the Labor day
idea had intended that it should be an
occasion distinct from other holidays.
1t was their intention that while pa
rades, picnics, festivals and games
were to be permissible, the chief fea-
ture of the exercises was to consist
of lectures and discourses upon sub
jects relating to the welfare of the in
dustrial masses. Every question of po-
litical, social and economic Importance
was to be thrashed out.
The present amplified method of ceIe-
brating this annual holiday is a great
Improvement upon the original plan of
fits observance. While the original in

gathering by means of a parade. so
that the leaders might address the peo-
pie upon the necessity and advantage
OF cooperative effort and was quite
successfully carried out. the large num-
bers of workingmen and their families
who came together formed a throng
too unwieldy to be bestowed in any
edifice and too large to be allowed TO
remain m e~ncumbrance to passage in
the streets. So 1t became necessary,
in larger cities especially. to take ad-
tournment to some pasture or open
grove where there was elbow room
for all. The necessity for creature
comforts caused the participants in
the parade TO provide their families
with luncheon. which. being transport

SAN BERNARD|N0 REACT|ONAR|ES
ENDORSE KETTNER FOR CONGRESS

"A little clique of boilers from the
regularly advertised and authorized
Republican county convention of San
Bernardino county, held September IA,
has issued a statement over the sigma
ture of the Republican central commit
tee Of San Bernardino county. This
statement, purporting to be the action
of the governing board of the Repub-
lican organization of this county, en-
dorses the candidacy of William Kett-
rer of San Diego, a Democrat, for
congress in the Eleventh district. The
use of the name of the San Bernardino
county Republican central committee in
tl-is manner was unauthorized, illegal,
4 4 with malicious attempt to deceive.
This central committee is unanimous
and strong in its allegiance to the prin-
ciple Of a protective tariff, and believes
that the election of a Democratic con-
gressman from this district, or a Dem
ocratic president of the United States,
would be calamitous to the horticul-
tural. viticultural and agricultural in
terests of the district. This central
committee is united in its allegiance to
that candidate regularly nominated in
the primary of September 8, as the Re-
publican candidate for congress, Sam
uel c Evans of Riverside, who is stand
ing upon platform pledging tariff for
protection and possessing a more wide
knowledge of the peculiar needs of the
fruit grower than any other congress
sional nominee in the state of Califor-
MIA.
This central committee eserVedly
gives its allegiance to those national
candidates, Theodore Roosevelt and
Hiram johnson, whom the Republicans
of the state of California by cover
whelming majorities in two state pri-
mary elections, have chosen as their
candidates and choice for president and
vice president. Every voter in this
congressional district who has the well
fare of his home and of humanity in
general at heart, is hereby urged 20
vote on November 3 for Samuel G.
Evans for congress, and for those pres
idential electors pledged to Theodore
Roosevelt and Hiram w. Johnson.

SAN DIEGO WANTS A RACE
TO IMPERIAL COUNTY FAIR

ITO this Mr.. Holleman added that it

that would show hearty appreciation
and endorsement. A proposition of this
kind, participated in by the chamber
of commerce, the Ad club. the Real ES-
tate Exchange and other local orgapi-
cations, would show those Imperial val .
ley friends that they would be Joined a
any kind Of boosting started for this
great secuon of co may for wha, is
good for one portion is good for the
remainder
The recent gr ct automobile race
has demonstrated the fact that that
portion of the trip from San Diego 20
f. Centro is an easy one he said. the
racers made it in about four hours.
There are many touring cars in San
Diego which have made it in six, eiS ut
and ten hours with several passengers.
Last July l made the trip and returned 4
next day in a Ford and encountered not
the slightest trouble, and l know that
the trip to that fertile region tributary
to San Diego would be a revelation 10
our motorists.
IL suggest that the different organ
izations of the city endorse the auto
mobile trip, and that committees be
appointed to map out the details and
tut enough different classes and events
TO attract the fellows with one or six
cylinders, 20 or so horse power. It
will be a county event and every auto
mobile agent or accessory house in th"
city, as we'll as merchants of San Diego
and the entire route, can offer prizes
that will lend a spirit of rivalry to the
occasion which will spell success. I be-
lieve in five days we can get so prizes
and 100 automobiles entered for the
contest.
There should be for safetys SAKE,
two events. One for speed, which will
enable all those would-be racers which
were tuned up in various garages re
Gently to trot themselves out and see
il they cannot exceed the time made
in the race just ended. Then we viii
have a few outlaw races for cash
prizes and open the bets with S1O0-
limit. Then next would be the great
show, when the starters seal a couple Of
hundred touring ear hoods and give the
capital prize TO the fellow getting
through in best shape. It's the oppor-
tunity of a lifetime for San Diego motor
owners to show their skill at the wheel.
Such an opportunity may not again
present itself in such a momentous
time when we can accomplish so mUca
good for San Diego at so small an out-

Now comes the word that the Repub-
lican County Central committee of San
Bernardino has endorsed William Kett-
ner of San Diego for congress, fol-
lowed at once by a formal denial of the
authority of a small reactionary crowd
to speak for the committee.
1t is well that this is done, for it
draws distinctly in the eyes Of all men
the fact that Mr.. Kettner is the can
didate of the reactionaries.
OF all the counties of southern Cali
fornia, San BePnardiIio was for years
completely under boss domination, and
while the great ma jority of the Re
publicans- of the county are with
Roosevelt and Johnson, the bosses still
retain control of a fragment of the
county central committee, and it is
that fra agment which now puts forth
Mr.. Kettner their candidate, just
as the Republican reactionaries of San
Diego have endorsed Mr.. Kettner.
Until this action was taken the pro-
gressive Democrats of the district had
a right to think that Mr.. Kettner rep
resented their ideas and that they
SnOulu support MS Dul no
one can imagine that he can at the
same time advance the cause of the
progressive Democrats and the reac-
tionary Republicans, and when a man
stands as the candidate of two con-
flicting parties, one or the other is
certain to get badly fooled if they sup
port him.
The time to make certain that you
will not be the one destined to be fooled
is before election, and the Press is con-
fdent that every Democrat who is de-
termined to see the country advance
will vote against the man whom the
reactionaries of all parties are sup
porting.
There is but one candidate for con-
gress who stands for the Progressive
sense of the people of the district, and
that is the candidate who is making a
definite fight on those principles, s. c.
Evans of Riverside.
The attitude of the reactionaries in
San Bernardino is rebuked by the fol-
lowing official reputation:

verdict of diplomats today, following =
the reports of the Lule Burgas disas-
ters. Friends of the sultan have
abandoned all hope of Turkish victory
garian troops will control Constantiu-

Sofia and other Balkan cities say the
Turkish defeat at Lule Burgas was the
most complete of the war. Although
no official confirmation has been re-
ce'ved the Bulgarian accounts of the
clash are credited on all sides.
Military experts expect General Ma
zim Pasha to rally his troops for an
other clash at point 40 miles west
of Constantinople and make a last
stand on the narrow peninsula where
the city is located.
Although rumors of the fall of Adri-
anople are not officially confirmed, mil
itary experts generally credit the re
port. They believe the end of the sui
tan uomlnlOn IN Europe is near sit
hand.
Another unverified report is that Ro-
dosto, Turkish city on the sea Of
Marmora, was also captured.
No details of the fighting at Lu.e
Burgas have been received, except that
100000 Turks were soundly whipped
and are in full retreat on Constantine
