HEARST AS POLITICAL JUNK
Just before the election Chairman
Spellacy of the California state Demo
cratic committee nont to the chairman
of the like committee In New York
this ardent telegraphic appeal:
"California Democrats plead with the
Democrats of New York to rid our party
of riot and rot by repudiating William
R . Hearst at the polls next Tuesday."
The answer to that appeal, substan
tially, was wafted to the Pacific coast
as follows:
"For re*pon«ip In your npponl so*
in returns, tn Now York, n* in
California, our party has been 'rid of
riot and rot. 1 The Democrats of the
Kmplre state send this greeting to
their brethren of the Golden state.
Shake I' 1
Even more spectacular than the
Hearst kick-out by the Democratic party
of California was the booting by the
Democrats Of New York. Not only was
Hearst landed In the New V.irk politi
cal Junk heap, but In his forlorn look
therefrom he sees how thoroughly his
humiliation was "rubbed In."
Himself beaten by more thnn fin.oon
vntes. ho has tho stinging mortlncntlon
of spring that ho wns the only defeated
c; nillilnte on the state ticket. In spito
of the handicap of his notorious nnmo
Ht the head of the ticket, the New York
Democrats succeeded In achieving ■
■plendld victory. Hut for the Infamoui
bargain with the Tammany boss,
whereby Hearst received his nomina
tion, the Democratic victory in the
Kmplre state would have been a veri
table political tidal wave.
AVhon Hearst Is able to rise from the
junk heap and regain sufficient of his
alleged senses to determine "where ho
Is at," it will be interesting to learn
what he proposes to do about it. There
Is an Intimation that he has determined
to abandon any further effort to hoist
himself Into an exalted public office —
that he at last appreciates the small
boy's folly In trying to lift himself by
tugging at his boot straps.
It should be hoped, however, that his
monumental bump of vanity will lead
him to spurn any sensible conclusion of
that kind. Since he has ceased to be a
dangerous political factor, like a muz
zled dog or a rattlesnake deprived of its
fangs, he still is capable of being
amusing as a clown In the circus. As
a spectacle in the political arena he is
picturesque and amusing, particularly
in the rural districts. That phase of his
attractiveness was shown In the crowds
that flocked to see him in the country
districts of New York state during his
recent spellbinding efforts.
But as a political embodiment of "riot
and rot" Hearst Is as dead as the late
Rameses of Egypt. The Democrats of
every state In the Union will figura
tively imitate the booting act of Cali
fornia and New York.
No doubt Hearst now will turn to
his field of yellow journalism and en
deavor to "get square" with decent
society for turning him down, using as
a means his yellow equipment for social
debauchery.
A WEAK AND SICKLY CROW
You notice that the "cock-a-doodle
doo" of the Republican rooster In this
state Is not of robust and sonorous
timbre. It bears more resemblance to
the squeak of a bantling rooster that
Is tuking Its first lesson In voice cul
ture. This year the Republican chan
ticleer crows in a weak, perfunctory
way, as If inclined to attract as little
attention as possible.
While assuming an appearance of
satisfaction with the result of the elec
tion the newspapers and other leaders
Of the Republican party in California
cannot quite conceal their chagrin as
they scan the figures. No wonder.
The most casual glance Indicates that
the election of their candidate for gov
ernor was essentially a triumph for
W. R. Hearst— not for the Republican
party.
But for the revengeful act of Hearst
in "butting in" with his dummy can
didate for governor as a means of
'getting square" for his kick-out of
the Democratic party at Sacramento,
Mr. Gillett would now be a badly de
feated candidate. The votes cast for
Langdon were the direct cause of
Bell's defeat. At least three-fourths
of the Langdon votes, probably a much
larger proportion, were cast by Dem
ocrats. There Is no ground whatever
for questioning that statement. Com
paratively few Republicans were at
tracted to Langdon and he got no
votes from Socialists or Prohibitionists,
;i3 those partisans supported their own
candidates.
The extent of Langdon's vote is not
yet accurately known, but the returns
already tabulated indicate that It will
approximate 42,000. On the fair as
sumption tluil three-fourths of the
Lmigdon vole came from Democrats
the number of lucta votes was 31,500.
Assuming that Bell would have re
ceived thOM 31,500 votes but for the
revengeful "butting in" of Hearst, and
thai Ollletl would have received the
remaining 10.500 votes cast for Lang
don, the result would have been Born
e like this:
Ball'l vote as It will finally appear,
plus about 31,500 votes diverted to
Langdon. Olllett'B vote, plug 10,500
VotM Hlmllarly diverted. The Repub
lican leaders claim that Qlllett'B plu
rality i* about 12,000. Add thereto the
li),50o Langdon votes and the result
1h 22,500. Against that figure stands
the Democratic vote cast for Langdon,
81,600. Subtract 22,500 from 31,600 nirl
you have 9,000, the plurality that Bell
would have had but for Hearst's aid
to (iiilett.
It is the indigestion caused by tho
swallowing- of those figures that now
lauues the Republican rooster to emit
«vi h a wretched Imitation of a crow.

LOS ANGF.LES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNTNG, NOVEMBER 10. IPO*.
TO THE POLLS MONDAY
ln the certainty that I very light
vote will be cast next Monday, in the
annexation election, Mo« an element
of danger to the proposition. The vote
ls likely to bo •><■, light that It would
not be difficult for ■ quietly organized
effort to succeed In defeating the meas
ure. Certain corporate Interests fire
believed tO be hostile to the "shoe
string" provision for making possible
the Jointure of thr> harbor cities with
Los Angeles. Those Interests could
easily muster a conrlderable opposing
Vote next Monday, without giving any
public Intimation of their purpose.
As tho voters of this city have Just
pnssed through ow* election 'rid have
ln sight another generally Important
on.->o n.-> in the city contest December 4, It
cannot be expected thai the annexation
election will arouse much public Inter
est, particularly .'is It Is known that
all citizens favor the project excepting
(ROM who are allied with the aforesaid
corporations.
The team t" be ilwldod at tho polls
noxt Monday Is of tho utmost ini
portanca to Lot angelee, and not the
most remote chance of defeat should
be taken. To "make aieuranca doubly
sure,' voters' should decide to stand
the slight Inconvenience that may be
caused by ifolng to tho polls. And ns
the matter la of special InterMi to all
buslnerg concerns, li would be well for
i mployen to tfve employee ample time
to vote, notifying thorn accordingly in
advance.
It should ho remembered that with
out annexing the strip of territory he
tween Los Angeles and tho harbor
cities tho whole project Of union with
Ihoee Cities will have to bo postponed
Indefinitely. The "shoestring" Is v
necesoary connecting link, and It must
be a< quired before another step can be
taken In the Jointure of Los Angeles
with San Pedro and Wilmington.
It Is understood that voters in the
connecting strip are nlmost unanimous
in favor of the proposition. They
know that the value of their property
will be greatly enhanced by annexa
tion to the city, as the strip will be the
main artery between Los Angeles and
the harbor. Consequently it is not ex
pected that any considerable negative
vote Will be cast by the strip dwellers.
But make no mistake about the Los
Angeles vote. Corporate Interests al
ways are wide awake, and In dealing
with them it Is well to recollect the
saying that "Eternal vigilance is the
price," etc.
MORAL OF THE WRECK
The dreadful disaster at Long Beach
yesterday In the collapse of a portion
of the Bixby hotel, attended as it was
by great loss of life, again calls at
tention to two facts which should im
press themselves upon all in authority.
First. The necessity for better, more
expert and more rigorous Inspection of
nil buildings in process of construc
tion.
Second. Better familiarity on the
part of contractors and builders with
the materials which enter into the
construction of buildings.
Builders readily account for the dis
aster at Long Beach upon scientific
grounds. They say there is rarely a
time when it is reasonable to lay any
blame upon the character of material
used, but Insist that a better knowledge
of material should be inherent in build
ers.
The sad and irreparable fact In this
disastetr is the loss of those splendid
lives — the careers cut short of honest,
faithful men who were doing their
share of tho world's work — leaving to
their grief-stricken families a heavy
burden of sorrow. To all such families
the slneerest public sympathy Is ex
tended.

Candidate for Mayor Will Strike Keynote During
His Speech at the Big Meeting Planned for
Simpson Auditorium— Other Prominent

An oratorical treat Is in store for
those who attend the meeting tonight
at Simpson auditorium.
Non-partisans In the Los Angeles
municipal contest will open their cam
paign, and Lee C. Gates, their nominee
for mayor, will deliver the principal
address.
Managers of the affair at first decided
to enlist the services of other well
known speakers from the ranks of
those who are in favor of the non-par
tisan movement, but later It was de
cided that an address of from half to
three-quarters of an hour by Mr. Gates
would Itself be a sufficient attraction
to those who appreciate genuine ora
tory, and at the same time give the
nominee for mayor an opportunity of
explaining at length the causes which
have arisen to make such a movement
necessary.
Mr. Bates' speech will follow the

Known as an Orator
The non-partisan nominee for mayor
has the reputation of being one of the
best known orators in Southern Cali
fornia, and his services on the stump
often have been sought In Republican
iationnl campaigns.
Mr. Gates' speech will follow the
ive part In the campaign, and it is
expected that he will make a number
of speeches before December 4, but it
is probable that the one he will de
liver tonight will be more extended and
cover the ground more thoroughly than
any that may be delivered later In the
campaign.
It Is expected that practically every
candidate on the non-partisan ticket
will be present and occupy seats on
the platform. Several of them prob
ably will make brief remarks, but in
these cases the speeches probably will
be limited to five minutes each.
James A. Foahay, chairman of the

held in the Federation club.

federation, presided. The guests of

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Merrill, who
were heartily greeted by those present
with handshaking during the social

Leonard Merrill spoke on "Tho In
fluence of the Federation on Citizen
ship." The speaker thought that the
Christian people should unite in pol
itics and elect the men best adapted
for official positions. He condemned
the minister who would prevail upon
a parishioner to go to the prayer meet-
Ing Instead of to 'the primary to start
the poiitlcal line of work aright. He
believed in pressing every point for
Rood results In electing men that will
be an honor to their constituents In
stead of a disgrace which he said was
the method now adopted.
Rev. Eli McCllsh spoke on 'The Ad
vantages of the Federation," and made
some points on the early conditions of
the church, comparing them with the
present, and giving Illustrations of the
great advantages of the church federa
tion principles of today.
Dr. John Willis Baer made forceful
remarks on 'The Highest Good." The
speaker does not approve of too much
division In church work. The consoli
dations of churches instead of dividing
them into small factions is his motto.

of value to one who wishes to shape

As a background for "Chlppinge
Borough," Stanley J. Weyman has
chosen the period, 1832. of the passage
of the reform bill which changed the
whole basis of parliamentary represen
tation In England. The hero, Vaughan.
Is a political protege of the great
though eccentric: statesman, Lord
Brougham, or "Bruffam," as he wns
popularly called, who figures at full
length In these pages — a character
study worthy of Scott. Vaughan Is
also the nephew and heir of Lord Rob
ert Vermuyden, one of the pillars' of
the old conservative system, nnd who
holds In his hand one of those "rotten
boroughs" which It was the purpose of
the reform bill to abolish. Hence arises
a bitter conflict between uncle and
nephew, which ends In the triumph of
the latter. A more than usually charm
ing love story Ib Interwoven with this
tak 1 of strenuous political strife, and
the moment when young Vaughan finds
himself bound for Bristol on the top
of the stagecoach, side by side with
the pretty and demure young school
mistress, Mlbs Mary Smith, the heart
Interest runs high.
