With a feoling of confidence that they
are on the high road to success, to be
realized at the polls next Tuesday, the
non-partisans yesterday begun the clos
ing; week of the campaign.
Among the nominees, the active work
ers and the adherents of the non-parti-
Ban movement there is an Increase ln
the confidence and enthusiasm which
come from the most favorable condi
tions and a realization that the tide of
public sentiment each day is mounting
higher and higher and is surely speed
ing the entire ticket to victory.
Lee C. Gates, the nominee for mayor,
and the various other candidates, fol
lowing the great meeting of Saturday
night, yesterday had cause for farther
congratulating themselves upon the un
mistakable signs of popular approval.
Yesterday morning, in company with
H. W. Frank, the well-known merchant
and non-partisan nominee for member
of the school board. Mr. Gates visited
every store in a block and a half along
Spring street and without a solitary
exception he was told that the propri
etors and dorks in every establish
ment visited had declared themselves
In favor of the entire non-partisan
ticket.
Two- Hour Reception
With these unanimous sentiments
ringing in his ears Mr. Gates' face was
wreathed with smiles as he entered
Blandiard hall at 11:30 for the an
nounced reception which was to last
two hours.
From the timo named until after the
hour of 1:30 crowds of men and not a
few women kept coming and going,
and during the entire time Mr. Gates
was busily engaged shaking hands and
expressing thanks for the many declar
ations of support and predictions of
success.
Women who called expressed regret
that they would be unable to vote for
Mr. Gates and the other non-partisan
nominees, but they assured the nomi
nee for mayor that they were giving
him their moral support.
Many of the men who came to offer
congratulations were personal friends
of Mr. Gates, and those who met him
for the first time went away firm
friends, personally as well as politi
cally, of the local man of the hour.
Other Candidates There
Included among those who visited
Blanchard hall were a number of the
other nominees on the ticket, who also
met their personal friends and formed
many new acquaintances.
Altogether not fewer than a thousand
persons took advantage of the opportu
nity to shake hands with Mr. Gates.
A band was stationed at the Broadway
entrance, and the music attracted many
people who were not previously aware
that a reception in honor of Mr. Gates
was in progress.
Last nigint Mr. Gates addressed two
large anrf enthusiastic meetings. The
first was held at Mission hall, 2164 Sun
set boulevard, where the speakers, in
addition to the nominee for mayor,
were A. S. Van Degrift, nominee for
the council from the Second ward;
Leslie Hewitt, nominee for city at
torney, and Marshall Stlmson.
The second .meeting was held at 730
Kohler street, where Mr. Gates, Leslie
Hewitt and Latnar Harris were the
speakers.
H. W. Dromgold, nominee for the
council from the First ward, last night
addressed a meeting of the Third Pre
cinct club.
Invades Second Ward
Mr. Gates' first speech was at the
>ni-HlliiK in tho Second ward, where A.
S. Van Degrift is making a strenuous
hmil iciiiiiß flghi against B. A. Clampltt,
the Republican machine candidate, and
George Keym, the straight Democratic
nominee.
The respect in Which Mr. Van De-
Brift .Ih held by his neighbors was
demonstrated by the hearty applause
which greeted the mention of his name
by the nominee for mayor when Mr.
Gates appealed to the voters of the
Second ward to Bend to the council a
man whom they know to be honest, ca
pable and energetic and one who not
only would guard the interests of his
own ward but those of the entire city.
Mr. Gates reviewed the non-partisan
movement, which he said had Its origin
in the east as a result of deplorable
civic conditions in the cities of Phila
delphia, Pittsburg, Minneapolis, St.
LoulM and other cities, causing an
awakening of the public conscience.
The movement in Los Angeles, he said,
is an echo of the movement begun else
where, and it win come to San Fran.
<iaco, which now Is lying prostrate In
her shame.
Plea for Equal Taxation
Mr. Gates said that one of the most
perplexing problems la that of taxation
-:iiul he urged the election as ussesnor
of Walter Mallard, who as the chief
deputy of Hen Ward had learned to
ferret out hidden wealth which hereto
fore lie escaped Us Just burden of
taxation. He showed that the county
aHMttUHiiifin on certain corporations in
I ,oh Angeles city aggregated *IS.UOO,UUU.
while the asße\>t)ment of the same cor
porations by City Assessor Lewis, re
nominated by the Republicans, was Just
half thut amount.

the end of Fifth street and voted for
the river franchise and asked how
long these men would resist the impor
tunities of the Southern Pacific should
Los Angeles finally secure control of
San Pedro harbor.
Mr. Gates named all the candidates
on the non-partisan ticket and said
that each had been selected because
of his honesty, capability and energy.
In closing he expressed his well-known
.sentiments in favor of the city abso
lutely owning and controlling thp
Owens river project and the enormous
amount of electrical energy which will
be developed, and his remarks were
heartily applauded.
Call Halt on Politicians
Mr. Gates said that the general pub
lic heretofore had given little concern
to city governments and that these
governments had been used by the
state political bosses to trade and bar
ter. The non-partisan movement really
began in Los Angeles two years ago,
and as a result the city has a non-par
tisan school board and a board of pub
lic works which practically is non-par
tisan.
"We want men who are fitted to hold
municipal offices," said Mr. Gates, "and
not because they belong to any par
ticular party. I believe in asking this
question concerning any candidate for
officer Will ho honor the office or will
the office honor him? It is not intend
but we do intend to overthrow political
but we do intend to overthrow plitical
machines which are operated in ac
cordance with the will of bosses.
"I am a Republican in national af
fairs, and two years hence I will be
found assisting in tho fight for the
national Republican party; most as
suredly so if that party nominates for
the presidency the most illustrious citi
zen of the United States— Theodore
Roosevelt."
Other Candidates Speak
Mr, Gates then left for the meeting
on Kohler street. After his departure
Judge R. M. Lusk, nominee for tax
collector, gave an interesting talk, and
he was followed by Frank G. Tyrrell,
the platform orator, and Mr. Van De
grlft.
Leslie Hewitt, nominee for city at
torney, who with Lamar Harris had
entertained the meeting on Kohler
street previous to the arrival of Mr.
Gates, was the last speaker.
Although Mr. Gates was late in ar
riving at the Kohler street meeting,
the entire audience had awaited his
coming and he was given an exceeding
ly warm welcome. His address here
practically was on the same lines as
that delivered at the first meeting of
the evening.
Today Mr. Gates will address work
men at two industrial establishments,
and tonight he will speak at two meet
ings.
NON-PARTISANS ASK
FOR SUBSTANTIATION
OF SERIOUS CHARGES
The following statement was Issued
yesetrday by the non-partisan execu
tive lommtttep:
"In the Times of Sunday, November
2 5, under thfi heading. 'The Lancer,"
appear* the following statement:
" 'There are men on the non-partisan
t icket—l know them, I Bay— men
whoso word no business man would
take for a single red cent. There are
men on it who are bo widely known for
their utter unreliability in business
thai their business associates would
not give ■ bean for a written contract
with their names signed to the foot of
lt. There are men whose business to
day in the city of Los Angeles la be
ing carried on in direct violation of
the laws of this city, of the lawa of
this Btate and of the Immutable laws
of the Almighty God.'
"If this be true the public has a right
to know the facts, as it has a right to
know all the facts concerning a can
didate for office which affect his fit
ness for that office. The non-partisan
executive committee therefore demand*
that the person who wrote the sen
tences quoted name the candidates to
whom he intended these charges to
apply, over his own signature, and pub
lish sufficient evidence to warrant the
charges. If this individual be unwilling
to uneuine personal responsibility for
the charges, we demand that the Times
shall name the candidates to whom al
lusion is made.
■If this shall be done and If the evi
dence shall satisfy a committee con
listing of Judge (imy. Judge York and
Major 11. T. Lee, all Republicans, and
none of them members of the commit
tee of one hundred, or any other ioin
pnltte of equivalent standing, that the
charges-above made are probably true,
the non-partisan executive committee
pledgee Itself Immediately and publicly
to withdraw its support from each and
all of said candidates ami to usa Its

STRAWS SHOW DRIFT
IN THE DIRECTION OF
THE NON-PARTISANS
Here are a few more straws for trie
rumination and digestion of tho few
peopje who will still think the non
partisan movement Is not progressing:
In one percinct of the Sixth ward
a canvass of the entire precinct shows
three votes for Gates to each one for
Lindley.
In the Third precinct d'irsl ward) In
three blocks lying side by side every
voter but two declared unequivocally
for Gates and the whole non-partisan
ticket. Of these two one is still hesi
tating between Gates and Lindley.
while the canvasser did not find the
other.
At a social gathering- in the south
west of twenty-two voters present fif
teen declared themselvfls for Gates, five
for Lindley and one for Harper. At
another similar gathering- the same
evening the results of tho poll wero
almost identical.
In one of the large banks of the city
nearly every voter is for Gates and the
whole ticket, and the same is true of a
manufacturing establishment employ
ing more than fifty men.
In one Spring street store seven men
who a week ago had about decided to
vote for Lindley as the best way of
beating Wilson now see that they were
mistaken and are pledged to Gates.
These are a few of the things that are
helping the non-partisan smile while
the heathen rage.
MINISTERS REFUSE TO
INDORSE CANDIDACY OF
PROHIBITION NOMINEE
Ministers of Los Angeles, or those
composing the Ministerial union, at
their regular meeting yesterday refused
to pass a resolution indorsing the can
didacy of Wiley J. Phillips, the Prohi

Many of the members of the Minister
ial union have been working energetic
ally In the non-partisan cause.
There were present at the meeting
yesterday several women representing
the Women's Prohibition Party club,
who urged the indorsement of Rev. Wi
ley Phillips. Mrs. Lucy Blanchard ad
droEsed the union as i'ollows in behalf
of indorsement:
"We earnestly petition the Minister
ial union, speaking for the moral
find Christian citizenship of this city,
to declare themselves unequivocally for
the election of Rev. Wiley J. Phillips,
the Prohibition candidate for mayor,
so that dons of infamy may be driven
from our city, and that our children
have a fair opportunity to grow up
clean and moral young men and wo
nipn."
Mrs. Hester T. Griffith find others
also spoke, urging Mr. Phillips' indorse
ment.
Rev. m. Logan declared that tho
action dealrad would be unconstitution

laid on the table. This motion was sec
onded by Key. H, P. Ryland, and the
mot ion was carried without a dissent
ing voloe,
Many ministers of tlio city are out
spoken in favor of Lee •'. dales for
mayor, and ara working for the suc
cess of the entire non-partisan ticket,
with the hope of giving Lob Angeles a
strictly business administration.

NEWSBOY OWNS RICH
MINE IN MONTANA
Special to The Herald.
ST. IX)UIS, Nov. 25.— Moritz Walter
Stadthagen is? the name of a "news
boy" who sells papers in the public
streets, though he is easily worth a
quarter of a million dollars, and is
growing richer rapidly from the prod
ucts of rich mining property of which
he la the owner.
Stadthagen, who is something over 50
years old, has sold papers every day
for more than ten years at the corner
of Broadway and Olive street, ln the
heart of the fashionable business cen
ter.
In 1878 he and a brother, drifting
about the country, located a mining
claim near Great Falls, Mont., but did
nothing to develop it. The brother
"floated" to New York, where he is
now a bootblack. Moritz became a
street newspaper vender.
When the copper development in
Montana led to the formation of the
famous Amalgamated Topper company
by Standard Oil magnates efforts were
made to get possession of the claim of
the Stadthagen brothers.
.Standard Oil agents came here and
found Stadthagen selling newspapers
on the street and thought they had an
easy thing. They wore fooled; he
wouldn't sell. He did, howover, allow
the Standard agents to take him to
New York, but even then they couldn't
succeed in buying.
Finally the brothers went to Montana
at the expense of the Standard Oil peo
ple, where they found they were much
richer than they had ever Imagined,
They found their mine in the center of
a district being worked for all It was
worth.
Aside from Its intrinsic value the
location of the prospect was of the
highest Importance to 'hr development
of other mines surrounding it. Drifts
and tunnels could be run. thus saving
great expense, If the copper company
could secure the Btadthagen mine,
which they already surrounded.
The St. Louis "newsboy" failed to be
convinced, however, and back to New
York and finally to Bt. Louis he came,
the men who wanted his mine still
trailing him.
Tim brothers are said to have re
fused a final offer of $300,000.
Morlta is said to have $26,000 in St.
Louis banks and la adding to it steadily,
but he continues to sell newspapers,
