BRYAN IN CALIFORNIA
FOR LAND BILL FIGHT
CONTINUED from First Paee1


California in their efforts to prevent
these aliens from acquiring land"
At believe" said Mr. Sisson, that
no nonresident alien should be al
lowed to hold a single foot of land
In the territory of the United States.
What would Washington say in an
swer to the question, war or submits
sion? What would Jackson say
What would Cleveland say? What
would Mckinley say?
81 resent the efforts of Japan to
force us to submit to her demands. "
Mr.. Sisson took the position that
the Japanese government in protest
ing against alien land legislation was
endeavoring to exempt its citizens
from the operation of the laws Of
States.
1.-THE President and secretary of
state" said Sisson, should only as
sure an alien government that the
people of that alien nation would be
dealt with fairly in accordance with
the law Of the State. Any other po-
sitIon would lead to the federal gov
eminent taking out from under the
laws of the States the citizens of
another nation. But all citizens or
aliens resident in a State must be
held subject to Its laws, and to ex-
empt the alien would give him privi-
leges over and above those accorded
to American citizens"
Representative Mann, the Republic
can leader, suggested the United
States had the constitutional right to
treat with foreign powers to secure
for American citizens property rights
abroad, and that Mr.. Sisson was
contending that the foreign govern
ment did not have similar right.
Treaty making can never deprive
the States of a reserved power" con-
tinued Sisson.
"This California question is far
reaching and important in its results.
Nearly all of the States have statutes
regulating the rights of aliens in
reference to acquiring real estate.
Nearly every State has some limita-
ton.
This Democratic administration
should announce with no uncertain
tone to the world the doctrine that
Congress proposes to recognize the
right Of the people of these States to
determine who shall own the land
within the State and that the United
States Government will not prevent
the States from making such land
laws as they see fit and proper, pro-
vided they do not discriminate against
citizens Of the United States.
"1f the President and Senate should
commit themselves to any other
proposition we will have internal
broils at home and envious interna-
tional complications and informed
ding into our domestic concerns
occasioned by the constapf COM
plainly of the alien land owner to his
own government.

GOVERNMENT ADDS TO
CHESTNUT BUYERS WOES

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-These
are the fluctuations of one importer
of chestnuts as displayed by govern

| SCORES c. 0. P. FOR
ATTACK ON BULL MOOSE

Claiming that the Progressives will
never again be allied with the Regu-
lar Republicans, Edmund B. Osborne.
chairman of the Progressive Execu-
tive Committee, attacked the state
ment that the Progressive leaders
are practically Socialists. at the Bur-
lington County Progressives' dollar
dinner held in Burlington Saturday
night. United States Senator Moses
e. Clapp also spoke.
Mr.. Osborne referred to a speech
made by a well-known Republican
leader recently when the Progress
sives were urged to return to the
I'Republican fold. He stated that the
rank and file of the Progressives have
not the slightest idea of returning
to the Republican party. Mr.. os-
borne then took occasion to comment
on the statement that 1.-THE radical
Progressives are practically Social
lists"
Even the most radical Progress
sives' are fundamentally opposed to
Socialism," declared Mr.. Osborne.
The Progressive party and the So
cialist party are at the opposite
poles; the last ditch Socialists are
even more bitterly opposed to the
Progressive party than they are to
either of the old parties because they
know that the Progressives offer the
only real antidote for Socialism, the
only program that offers a promising
remedy for the evils Socialism pro-
poses to cure"
Mr.. Osborne then explained the
Progressives' principles and declared
that anyone who understands them
and the principles Of Socialists needs
no explanation of their difference.
He added that the Progressives
agreed fairly well with the Socialists
as to what is wrong. but that his
party proposed totally different set
of remedies.
I'VE are almost as different from
the Socialist party" he concluded,
''as we are from the Republican
party under the reactionary leader
ship of Taft and Penrose and Smoot."

FIRE BOARD TO BUY
THREE AUTO ENGINES

Following a conference with Mayor
Haussling and City Counsel Nugent,
the Fire Board has decided to pur-
chase three automobile engines, In
stead of two, as originally intended.
The third car, it is understood, will
be purchased without bids being ad-
vertised for.
A few weeks ago the board asked
for bids on two automobile pumping
engines. When the proposals were
opened it was found that the Dixon
Cascade Company, a local concern,
and the Webb Company offered to
furnish complete engines for $4,000.
The La France Company. another
concern, submitted bid for 49, 800.
For some reason or other the local
concern was entirely ignored in the
award of the contracts. despite the
fact that 1t was low bidder.
The board at that time decided to
purchase one car from the Webb
Company and the other from the
lie France Company. Mr.. Nugent,
however, refused to execute the con-
tract with the latter concern, claim
ing that the Dixon Company had
been Disseminated against. He was
upheld in this contention by the
mayor, who instructed the board, fol-
lowing a rather stormy conference to
readvertise for bids.
In the meantime, however, the
board asked for another conference
and on Friday the mayor met with
them. Just after the conference
President Weber called a special
meeting, when it was decided to pur-
chase one of the Dixon Company's
cars.
1t is the intention of the board to
replace in time the present horses
with motor driven vehicles, and the
new cars are being purchased, 1t Is
understood, as a test. The Dixon
car, it is said, is a new car, and it
was for this reason. 1t was learned,
that 1t was not considered when the
matter was originally taken up.
