ord was clean, and should commend
him to the voters.
Prof. Thomas Newlin also eulogized
former President Roosevelt, whom ho
compared with Mr. Stanton.
C. C. Chapman, a prominent orange
grower of Santa Ana, referred to the
"knocking habit into which "petty
politicians," as ho termed them, havo
fallen, and said he was hungering to
ho \r a speech in which the "grand old
Iti-riibllcan party" would be rightly
extolled.
Mr. Chapman Tras followed hy Rlch
nrd Melrose, who was an assemblyman
at the time Mr. Stanton was speaker,
in the last state legislature.
Mr. Stanton's speech, which wan In
tended to thoroughly set forth his plat
form and to review his work in the-
California legislature, was, In part, as
follows:
My entry Into the campaign for the office
of governor of the state of California «v de
ttmi until I could be assured that It was
.lesti-d by. and that 1 should have In large
measure the support of. thn b°st citizens of
iniminlty in which I reside and of
Southern California generally. Personally, I
have nothing to gain—no axes to grind. I do
not undervalue, In any degree, the honor of
the position. Thii honor appeals particularly
to me. coming to thla elate a* 1 did a boy
still In my teens, with less than a hundred
dollars of thin world'! goods, without friend
or relative nearer than my former home In
th* Mate of Ohio.
A* I conuelve It. the essential qualifications
for the proper discharge of the office of gov
ernor are not measured by oratorical power,
or literary ability, or aklll In the construction
of word pictures, or mere personal popular
ity, but rather by business ability acquired
by long ycara of personal effort In private
life and skill In the management of public
affairs acquired by years of actual experl
i nee. Whether I possess these essential Qual
ifications to the extent necessary for the suc
cessful administration or the office may not,
with due consideration .if modesty, be assert
ed by me J hope, however, that the experi
ence, which 1 have had in private and public,
life may have fitted me for the performance
uf those duties to such an extent that, with
an honest, conscientious and persistent effort
in the faithful performance of duty. I might
so succeed. And ghould the outcome of this
cajiipagn be successful and I be elected g"v- !
erniir of this state for the ensuing term, I here ,
and now renew my pledge of my best en
il.avor at all times to administer the affairs
c>f state In a fair and Impartial manner, with
out partisanship, and to the end that ouch ,
and every part of our fair state and all of
b*T people shall receive an administration In |
the Intuersts of the whole people, and no |
one else.
Needs Business Executive
It seems probable that In thla campaign
Issues are to be raised which are purely
theoretical. To my mind there la only one
way to conduct the affairs of state, and that
is in a clean-cut, businesslike manner. Th»
, xcutivi of the state Is, In reality, Ita busl
n«M h'-ad. He Is the supervisor of all of Its
department* It la his duty to see that ea.li
and all are conducted economically and with
business efficiency. The executive also has
the power of approval or disapproval of moas
urM paiiif! by the legislature, and In this
manner he Is in a position to influence legis
lation It Is, therefore, of utmost importance
that he' who is elected to fill this high and
honorable position should b" a man of In
dependence in thought and action, and who
will protect the Interests of the people at all
tin, .i Whether or not I have the ability to i
discharge the duties of the executive of this |
great state In the manner I have Indicated
"a of course, the question. For answer I can
only point to my record In public and private
lif»' I would not be so foolish as to assert
that no mistakes are to bo founcf In this
record. I may, however, bo permitted to say i
that at all tlmeß 1 have been actuated only
by desire in my public life to do that and
accomplish those things which were In tin
interest of the people at large.
Outlines His Platform
The platform upon which I-stand Is in out-
Tlii" maintenance nf political bureauß or
agencies by corporations or persons repre
mntlßC special Interests, for tho purpOM of
dictating, controlling and influencing legis
lative or executive action, la repufmant to
the spirit and purpose of our government,
■unl should be suppressed by the enactment
ill' laws prohibiting such evils under severe
penalties. I a"» ln favor of such law»' b<Jt
whether enacted or not, should I be elected
governor of this state I should deem It my
Suty i» response to a well understood demand
of the people, to exert my whole power for
the extermination of all such pernlclouH mcth
rorporattons. ln the conduct of their
hui'tneM are entitled to full consideration and
protection in the enactment and enforcement
of laws, and have the same right as other
citizens to bo heard on all matters affecting:
their Interests; but corporations or other
rsons w |,o seek to control legislation gen
erally whether It affects them or not, are
•nemlM "' tho Pc°Ple and should be dealt
with as Mi<'h.
I'll,, «i;it- should without delay initiate by
annroorlate legislation the policy of conserving
for the uses anil benefit of the public the
natural rwouroe* of the state still remaining
under its control. This is particularly Hue
■I i,, the water supply required by tnufilrlpal
■nd irrigation useH and for generation of
power The monopolization of these opportu
nities by Individuals or private corporations,

for thn purpose of speculation and profit, Is
Inimical to the I>est Interests of California,
Mini should be restrained by lawn designed to
prenervo «iich resources for the use of. th«
whole people.
Would Enforce Gambling Laws
The legislature of this statn has recently
enacted a law tor the suppression of race track
gambling, and this law should be rigidly en
forced. If It should be found that till Inter
ests affected by this legislation can, by any
subterfuge of oral betting, or otherwise,
evade Its purpose, T am most emphatically In
favor of such amendments as will effectually
and forever suppress this great evil.
X favor the re-forming of the boundaries of
the equalization districts, to the end that the
assessed wealth of the state may be more
equally represented upon th? slate board of
equalization.
I favor a comprehensive system of good
roads and Internal waterways Improvements
to facilitate and cheapen the transportation
of our products, and permit ready and con
venient access to the unrivaled scenic beau
ties of the state.
This platform (If such It may bt called) Is
made to stand on. It Is not theoretical; It Is
Intended to be practical, and In case of my
election you may rest assured It will be put
Into effect and carried out, and those who do
not approve of the sentiments therein con
tained should not vote for me. I am old
fashioned enough to believe that platforms,
promise* and pledges are made to be fulfilled.
I could not—no honest man could—announce
a platform for the , purpose of assisting my
self Into office which la to be thereafter dis
regarded.
Discusses the Railroads
Much of the time, since the completion of
the transcontinental ralroads, a controversy
ha» arisen In every campaign In which the
railroad management has been the subject of
attack. And It must be admitted that In
many cases there was much Justification
therefor. At times the evils complained of
have been much exaggerated by demagogues
and corporation halters, who have not in
frequently. In this manner, endeavored to
advance their political ambit While I
feel warranted In saying, from my own per
sonal experience and observation, that charges
against the management of our railroads have
frequently been without merit and often gross
ly exaggerated, still. on the other hand. I
must also any, based on the same observa
tion and experience, the management has of
ten used Its power In an unwarranted an
Improper manner. The railroads, and all
other corporations and persons having deal-
Ings with the state should know their proper
place and keep within It. And the dema
gogue and the corporation baiters should not
bo tolerated.
Believing, as t have said, that th» affairs
of state tiny properly be compared to an im
rnen«e business concern, and that a trained
business man Is bert fitted to be the executive
head of the state government, I may bo par
doned IT I now review briefly some of the re
sults of my effort* during my four terms of
service In the legislature.
Gives Legislative Record
I was first elected In HO", and during this,
the thirty-fifth session, served as chairman of
th«* committee on ©lection laws. In conjunc
tion with Senator Brlshaw, chairman of the
election committee of the senate, I drew the
present ballot law. How successful this, my
first public work, has proved, may be judged
from the fact that, from the almost Innumer
able election contests of former years, the
number has been reduced to less than a
dozen during the past seven years.
For the city of and county of I^os Angeles
I secured the passage of various acts, notably
the present street-opening law, the act pro
viding for the sale of railroad and other'
franchises, and on© providing for the erection
of assembly or convention halls by municipal
ities. The ratification of amendments to the
city charter of I.os Angeles I secured. But
these measures were local and were but a
small part of the constructive legislation fav
ored by me.
■During my second term In the assembly my
position as chairman of the v.-ays and means
committee carried with it the leadership of
the Republican party on the floor. How I ac
quitted myself in this trying position Is a
matter of state history.
Sale of Normal Site
I fought against the passage of a bill to
sell the site of the state normal school In
this city for $200,000. But the bill was passed,
and I was compelled to file a protest with
Governor Pardee, who gave heed and vetoed
the same. At the next session I aided In the
passage of a bill to sell this property at a
minimum price of $500,000. You who are res
idents of Los Angeles may decide whether
my Judgment was sound or not.
Measures creating street lighting districts
ancl boulevard district! were among those I
Introduced at this Mission (IJWS), as was also
the bill permitting supervisors to appropriate
county money for the purpose of fighting for
est fires.
You all know that In 1906. during the entire
campaign, I fought for the renomination of
Governor I'ardee, and went down to defeat
with him at the Santa Cruz convention. I
was at this ttme re-elected to the assembly,
and during the session of 1907 I found my
self somewhat discredited with the political
i' rOM In power at Sacramento because of my
efforts to secure the renomlnatlon of Gov
ernor Pardee.
I have detailed the result of my efforts in
the legislature in a desire to iliustFate my
Idea that It is the business man who best
j serves tho people In an executivo capacity.
I Now I come down to the last session of the
legislature, where I served aa speaker of the
MMmbly, Ami I want to speak of my work
during this session so that It will show where
1 stand on numerous questions that will, I
think, Interest us during the campaign which
we are Just entering.
I whs chosan by the Republican caucus
without v illstenting voice, and was elected
speaker on the first day of the session. I ae
r.pu il the position without any strings and
nnnounct-it my Intention of conducting the as
sembly lr. a businesslike way. 1 assured the
numbers that everybody wan going to get a
square deal. Now, I have heard that some of
those among our friends, the enemy, are say-
Ing that I organized the house in the inter
ests of the "machine." My only answer to
this Is to point to the fact that on the day
of my election I asked every member to sub
mit to me In writing the names of the com
mittees upon which he wished to serve, and
after several days of hard work I succeeded
in so flaming these committees that every
member was placed upon nt least one-half of
the committees he designated. When the ap
pointment! « re mad* the approval of the
member! whs spontaneous aim almost unan
lmotta, Vet there nas Dommlttee, I lie s■■
lerttun of the personnel of which I took en
tirely uuon myself. This was the committee

P. A. STANTON
on public morals. To It would he referred
the moasuro against racetracks. By the nam
ing of this committee 1 Incurred the (loop ami
lasting hatred of the racetrack people bjr
easing the way for the i.n«sage of this mea
sure through tho assembly.
Defends Japanese Record
Nor have I forgotten that at that time I
was threatened with political decapitation If I
persisted In standing by President Roosevelt
and In insisting that these ill advised and
dangerous hills regarding the Japanese should
be defeated. And I am nt present conscious
that I shall have the opposition of these
"jingoes" in the present campaign. President
Roosevelt was not opposed to the passage of
these measures because he favored Indiscrim
inate or unrestricted Immigration of the Jap
anese, hut because It Interfered with the
plans of and efforts then being made by the
federal government to regulate this Immigra
tion, and because It Involved existing treaty
rights and privileges. When a quietus was
given to these objectionable bills I received
from Preildent Roosevelt a telegram of con
gratulation. ""•'.'■'■.
During the sessions of the legislature of
which I have had the honor of being a mem
ber. Southern California, and particularly I.os
Angeles, has required more original and con
structive" legislation than any other section
of the state. Generally, If not always, bills
of this character have been committed to my
care. I think I make no mistake when I
positively assert that lit no Instance has there
bren a failure to secure the enactment of those
bills into laws.
' - Fights for Consolidation
One of the last Mils of this character was
that which provided for the consolidation of
cities. It was to the Interests of the people
of Los Angeles to consolidate with Ban Pedro
and Wilmington, thus making It a seaport
city. The measure was considered of vital
Importance It meant life or death to a pet
project. The opposition encountered in th«
legislature 10 the passage of this bill was
both subtle and of great force. And by no
means the least of that opposition was that of
the senator from this county residing at Hum
Pedro. Ha was a holdover senator with a
long legislative career behind him and an ex
tensive acquaintance. Moreover he Is an as
tute politician. For many months he had
worked against the project and had succeeded
In obtaining promises from most of the hold
over and a number of newly elected senator*
to vote against the measure. The opposition
which was built up by him and the private
interests which were opposed to the passage
of this law seemed almost Impossible to over
come. From the beginning of the session,
however, I let It be understood that It was a
matter of public necessity, and that no oppo
sition should be allowed to defeat It. In spite
of this splendid work of the entire delegation
from Ix>s Angeles county (with the exception
of the senator referred to) and the lobby of
Influential citizens* the case seemed hopeless.
As far a* the assembly was concerned, when
the bill came up for passage, although there
were hut forty-four members present, forty
two voted for and only two against the pas
sage of the bill.
Turns Defeat Into Victory
The fight on the bill was then transferred to
the senate, and Its (ate for a time to many
seemed in great doubt. I never believed tiie
senVte would turn down thin meritorious
measure with tlie knowledge that the. speaker
and the entire delegation from Southern <"al-
Ifornla (excepting, again, the aentit.ir from
Kan Pedro) moiit earnestly desired Its pas
sage. To make matters doubly sure I called
many of the senators Into the speaker's ream
•nd explained to them the situation and m
cured the promlfio of their support. As a
final rosult, although twenty-six vote had
been pledged against this measure, exactly
that number voted for It, to thirteen against
It. Thus was defeat turned Into victory, and
the people of Ijos Angeles, with onn accord,
rose up In praise of their representatives in
the legislature (still with the exception of the
senator from San Pedro).
For many years Ihn national guard of this
city has been without ndequtae quarters and
driven from pillar to post. They had clam
ored for an appropriation to bullil an armory,
to which they were Justly entitled, but It
seemed impossible to obtain an appropriation.
Assemblyman Transue, however, at the last
session of the legislature introduced v lull ap
propriating (100,000 {or this purpose. Its fate
was long In doubt, but at the psychological
moment I Bocured a favorable report from
the committee on ways ami means, to which
it had been referred, and succeeded In ob
taining Its passage through both houses and
Its approval by his excellency, thue eovernor.
Thus the dream of yeara of our citizen sol
diery became a reality, and in the near fu
ture a magnificent building will be erected*
for them upon suitable fivunds in Agricul
tural park.
Exposition Appropriation
And this brings me to the hill which I in
troduced at the last session of the legisla
ture appropriating a quarter of a million dol
lars for the erection of an exposition build-
Intr, it being understood that both the cty
and county of. Los Angeles would appropriate
money to erect suitable buildings in conjunc
tion with the state building, thus forming a
gruup nf permanent exposition buildings in
ihla» magnificent park. For many weeks the
passage of this bill was In doubt, but again
at the proper time I was enabled to secure its
passage and a definite promise by the gov
ernor to me personally that ho would approve
It, which was done after the. adjournment of
the session.
1 will mention but one other piece of legis
lation In which the -citizens of Los Angeles
were vitally Interested, to wit, thu passage of
a law abolishing itinerant grog shops within
four miU'a of the camps of men working upon
public improvements. The primary purpose of
this was to protect the' workmen on the
uwens river project from the bunet'ul influence
of the saloon. Vicious, indeed, was the fight
presented by various Interests ayninst this
measure. The Influence of our delegation,
however, was sufficient to secure the passage
of the measure and its approval by the gov
ernor.
I trust that It is not Immodest for me to say
that I took a prominent part in the delib
erations of the assembly during these sev
eral sessions on many important questions,
and with considerable pride I may add that
I was able, because of my position as a mem
ber of the house, and particularly while chair
man of the ways and means committee, to
save to the state many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. .
On all questions of public policy I can say
without fear of successful contradiction that
I invariably utood for. the people and always
anlnit special Interests. -
