CARS, ISASyED


Trainmen on the lines Of the Tri-
city Railway company on this side
Of the river are talking Of protest
ing to the officers Of the company
against the plan that has recently
been adopted, for what reason no
one has yet been able to figure out,
of removing the bulkheads or par
titions in the cars between the
platform and the main door.
The trainmen claim that the big
cars Of the 400 type, to which this
pertains, are not so easy to handle
with the change on account of the
step at the entrance, and, further
more. the carrying capacity is ma
terially lessened and the area Of
heating increased. Heretofore the
inner partition has served to break
the thrush OF cold air when the
outer doors are opened to admit or
discharge passengers, and from ev-
cry viewpoint the men declare from
experience the company is making
a mistake.
The men claim that the same
condition does not exist as on the
old cars of the 200 type, which were
remodeled to the best advantage
possible, but inasmuch as the 400
style of cars were properly built in
the first place, and were standard
in all respects, the men can see no
reason for a change that has no
advantage, merely to crafty q
within which. on its face, would ap-
pear to be an expensive one for the
company at that.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, Sept. 2O.-Gover-
nor James M. Cox, with his speech
here today, was rounding the turn"
of his swing around the circle.
Touching the most distant post of
his nation wide stump battle here the
democratic candidate, after invading
Los Angeles tonight, will again be
moving toward the strategetic middle
western and eastern campaign
ground.
In fourteen working days" Cover
nor Cox has campaigned in eleven
states, making an average of nine
speeches daily.
Cox now is in a section where 1t
was admitted there is stronger senti-
ment for the league than in any locali-
ty of the west ana democrats were
banking, on southern California pllmg
up majority sufficient to overcome
the republican strength in the north
ern part of the state.
One phase of the time worn tariff
Issue probably will have an important
place in Cox's speech here. It is
whether southern California citrus
growers will be protected against i'm
ports of foreign competitors. Cox,
lit was learned, will state he favors
tariff high enough to offset decreased
costs of production in other countries.
Governor Cox was to speak here at
noon and leave Los Angeles, where
"a big night meeting is scheduled.
Governor Cox while here this
morning, accepted an invitation TO
visit the motion picture studios at
Hollywood, Calf, tomorrow morning.
A reception in his honor will be given
by movie" stars, producers and dl-
rectors. On the reception committee
will be Charles Ray, Katherine NC
Donald, Dorothy Phillips and others.
After breakfast the governor was
taken on a motor trip along the
beaches and through the city.
",This California climate is wonder
full" Cox said 81 have found the
reason why SO many Ohio people who
come to the coast have never re-
turned"
Most of the hoarseness in his voice
has disappeared as the result OF the
mild air and he was feeling much
refreshed as the result of Sunday
rest.
