A FREE PRESS Wall

The Free Press foams at the

and Pittman favor ths Hetch-
Hetchy bill for furnishing San
Francisco with a proper water sup

shown in the charge that it is a

the State of California. How can
this be when every congressman
from California voted for the bill
in the House and fought for it.

the Public Lands committee of the
senate and has doubtless studied
the question far more than the
Free Press has. He is in excellent
