HICHBORN'S CHARGES MALICIOUS VENOM SPEAKER STANTON PAYS RESPECTS TO THEM AT BANQUET ADDRESS Strictures of the Socialist Scribe on Party Circle Bill, Non-Judiciary Bill and Leeds' Amendment to Primary Bill Exposed as Merest Political Rot —Voted for Federal Line of Ships Speaker Stanton's forcible address delivered at the Los Angeles banquet tendered him two weeks ago have struck a responsive chord throughout the state, and from north of the Tehachapi come glowing reports of his increasing popularity with the common people. In the northern counties which are not under control of the railroad he will run well, while in the south his candidacy has already assumed the proportions of a whirlwind. The concluding portions of his address are well worthy perusal by our readers. We hope they are following the political debate as it appears weekly in our columns. Speaker Stanton's concluding words were as follows: Extracts form a book purporting to be a history of the last legislature by one Hichborn are, I learn, being used even at this early day as campaign literature against me. Some one has an idea that I am such a formidable candidate for the republican nomination for governor that it is necessary to publish serious extracts from this Up to and including the year 1902 the election law did not permit the voting of a party ticket by a single cross. At the election in November of that year Hon. Lucien Shaw, one of the most highly esteemed citizens of Los Angeles, a jurist of long years of experience, with a record proving exceptional ability and fidelity, was a candidate for associate justice of the supreme court on the republican ticket. There were two associate justices to be elected at that time. Their names were arranged on the ballot in alphabetical order, that of Judge Shaw being second. When the ballots were counted it was found that he ran behind the other republican candidate for justice of the supreme court 46,592 votes. The other candidate for justice of the supreme court was elected by a majority of 50,592, while Judge Shaw's majority was only 3280. The Blue Book of 1902, referring to this matter, says: "The ambiguity in the ballot, caused the large difference in the vote for the associate justices of the supreme court between the candidate whose name came first and the one whose name came second on the ballot." It is perfectly manifest that it was not the intention of 46,592 republican voters who went to the polls on that day to omit voting for Judge Shaw. Notwithstanding his great popularity at home at that time, he ran behind his ticket in the ward of this city in which he lived. One of the purposes of the amendment of the election laws during the session of 1903 was to prevent a repetition of the experience of Judge Shaw.

Some one has an idea that I am such a formidable candidate for the republican nomination for governor that it is necessary to publish copious extracts from this so-called history in order to bring out the fact that I voted five times right on so-called reform measures and an equal number of times wrong. That would make my batting average exactly .500, as I understand it, and that isn't so bad. Still, I am not satisfied with this average, because the author has arbitrarily determined what are reform measures and what are not, and has also arbitrarily established the rule that all those measures which he says are reform ones are good and that all others are bad ones. Those five measures in which my manner of voting did not meet with the author's approval are, first, abolishment of the party circle; second, non-partisan judicial-column bill; third, advisory vote for United States senators in the direct primary bill; fourth, proposed federal steamship line, and fifth, the so-called "gag rules." In the opening days of the session the Committee on Rules presented a report changing somewhat the mode of procedure in the house. Most of these changes were suggested by myself and part by other members of the committee. When the report was presented for adoption the house refused to accept it and the story went forth that these rules contained restrictions which would operate in the interest of certain measures, notably the race track interests, and that its rejection by the house was a notable victory in favor of the so-called reform element. On this I reported to sustain the report of the committee, of which I was a member, but I stated at that time that it was a matter of indifference to me whether the report was sustained or not. A perusal of the vote cast at that time will demonstrate clearly to any one familiar with the personnel of the house that the speaker could by simply indicating his desire have secured the passage of the measure submitted by the committee. It was absolutely ridiculous to consider this a test vote upon anything, and the sane political writers knew it. Why one-half of the intention of 40,002 republican voters who went to the polls on that day to omit voting for Judge Shaw. Notwithstanding his great popularity at home at that time, he ran behind his ticket in the ward of this city in which he lived. One of the purposes of the amendment of the election laws during the session of 1903 was to prevent a repetition of the experience of Judge Shaw. The Committee on Elections of the senate and the assembly met in joint session, whereat many prominent citizens of the state appeared to discuss the proposed amendments, giving their approval to the bill in the form in which it was finally passed. The bill was unanimously passed—both democrats and republicans voting therefor—and approved by Gov. Pardee, and yet,notwithstanding these facts and these views of prominent citizens who appeared before the legislative joint committee to discuss the matter and the unanimous approval of the bill by the members of the legislature and the governor, this man Hichborn has the temerity to assert that he who voted against the abolition of the party circle is not a true friend of progress. I am proud to say that I voted against the non-partisan judicial column bill. I have advocated for years the policy of taking the judiciary out of politics, but the measure proposed was of a mongrel nature, misleading and in no way intended to do what it purported to do. I yield to no man in a desire to take the judiciary out of politics. I have advocated it for years, and I am willing to go to any extent to accomplish it by safe, sane and practical means. Those who advocate this measure have evidently forgotten, or may be in ignorance of the fact, that for thirty years prior to 1880 the voters of this state elected all judicial candidates, not only on a special ballot, but on a special day set apart for that purpose, at which no other office was filled. Although conditions in those days (owing to the fact that the state was sparsely inhabited) were probably more favorable to the successful removal of judicial candidates from political influences, yet the result was so unsatisfactory that the system was abolished by the provisions of the constitution of 1879. The friends and advocates of this judicial column bill which was defeated at the last session of the legislature, and who condemn my action on the subject, may not be aware of, or perhaps they have forgotten, the fact that the intention of 40,002 republican voters who went to the polls on that day to omit voting for Judge Shaw.

It was absolutely ridiculous to consider this a test vote upon anything, and the same political writers knew it. Why, one-half of the Los Angeles delegation voted against the report of the committee, and does any one in his senses believe that they would have voted against me had I requested otherwise? There was absolutely nothing significant in the result. Two days later at my suggestion the house took up and incorporated into the rules every suggestion that I had made in the report which was rejected, absolutely demonstrating the fallacy of the argument which our political opponents have since attempted to make capital out of. Even the San Francisco Bulletin, an unfriendly journal, had this to say in its report: "Stanton exercised no pressure and the members fought it out among themselves." In the matter of the federal steamship line, I am compelled to say that Author Hichborn deliberately falsifies when he says or insinuates that I voted against this measure. I say he deliberately misrepresents because he must know that not a single assemblyman voted against it. The measure was approved by unanimous consent of the house after a long preamble to the resolution, of absolutely no value to it, had been stricken out. The proposition for the abolition of the party circle was strictly a democratic measure, introduced by a democratic senator, and wholly in the interest of the democratic party.

The friends and advocates of this judicial column bill which was defeated at the last session of the legislature, and who condemn my action on the subject, may not be aware of, or perhaps they have forgotten, the fact that the gentleman last indorsed by the Lincoln-Roosevelt league as candidate for justice of the supreme court this year has, both privately and in public assemblies, opposed the enactment of such a law, and yet Mr.Hichborn tells you that I must be branded as an opponent of progress and reform because forsooth, I omitted to support this measure. During the sessions of the legislature of which I have had the honor of being a member, Southern California, and particularly Los Angeles, has required more original and constructive 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 in no instance has there been a failure to secure the enactment of those bills into laws. One of the last bills 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 San 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 the legislature to the passage of this bill was subtle and of great force. And by no means the least of that opposition was that of the senator from this county residing at San Pe- of the saloon.

He was a hold-over senator with a long legislative career behind him and an extensive acquaintance. Moreover he is an astute 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 senators 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 overcome. From the beginning of the session, however, I let it be understood that it was a matter of public necessity, and that no opposition should be allowed to defeat it. In spite of the splendid work of the entire delegation from Los Angeles county (with the exception of the senator referred to) and the lobby of influential citizens, the case seemed hopeless. As far as the assembly was concerned, when the bill came up for passage, although there were but forty-four members present, forty-two voted for and only two against the passage of the bill. The fight on the bill was then transferred to the senate, and its fate for a time may seem in great doubt. I never believed the senate would turn down this meritorious measure, with the knowledge that the speaker and the entire delegation from Southern California (excepting again the senator from San Pedro) most earnestly desired its passage. To make matters doubly sure, I called many of the senators into the speaker's room and explained to them the situation, and secured the promise of their support.

I trust that it is not immodest for me to say that I took a prominent part in the deliberations of the assembly during these several sessions on many important questions, and with considerable pride, I may add that I was able, because of my position as a member of the house, and particularly while chairman of the ways and means committee, to save to the State many hundreds of thousands of dollars. On all questions of public policy I can say, without fear of successful contradiction, that I invariably stood for the people and always against special interests. (Loud applause.)
