Despite Uie early hour the Commoner was met at the Salt Lake depot by hundreds of friends and ad mirers, and escorted to the Alexandria hotel, whare an Informal reception was held. Trains from outside points brought several thousand Bryan admirers into Los Angeles last night and this morn ing, 600 coming from the Imperial val ley country alone. The commoner's appearance on the Auditorium platform was the signal for a great ovation. He was cheered for five minutes, then the women voters tobk up the singing of national songs. "America" was rendered with everybody standing, this being followed by "Dixie." It was fully 15 minutes before Bryan could make himself heard. "Ladles without the gentlemen," be gan Bryan amid another outbreak. - "I wish to draw a contrast between the Chicago convention and the Baltimore convention. I speak of the Republican convention, not the monologue which came afterward. Roosevelt has said both the Democratic and Republican conventions were controlled by the same Interests. I was at both. I got a ticket in the press gallery at Chicago upon promising that I would not say anything worse about Taft and Roosevelt than they had said about each other. I knew that what they said about each other was true and Intended to give it the widest publicity. ". "Roosevelt neglects to say that the bosses behind Taft are the same that were muqh appreciated friends of the ex-president in times past.

This., much the committee made clear this morning when It flatly refused to consider a .clause prohibiting speech making, selling 6f merchandise and begging in any of the streets within the down town congested district. "We can't consider that," said Coun cilman Monks, when Attorney E. E. Coovert, representing .the Retail Mer chants' association, brought forward this clause, which was one of the prin cipal features of an "ordinance drafted by - the -merchants- a embodying therr ideas, and asked that it be included in the ordinance presented to the council. Befuse to Consider It. "No, no, we can't consider that in a traffic ordinance," supplemented Coun cilman Burgard, chairman of the com mittee, and Councilman Watkins, in the same breath. "Such a provision is in the Los An geles' traffic ordinance," insisted Mr. Coovert. "It regulated the conduct-of people in the congested dlstrictjuovided by the traffio ordinance, and ought to go In." "I cen't help that," said Councilman Burgard. "It doesn't properly come un der a traffic ordinance and won't be considered, that's all." That ended the discussion, for the committee promptly adjourned until this afternoon. The action of the committee fore stalled a lively time in the council cham ber, for representatives - of the Social ist party wefe present to make a fight on me ciausei which they Jiave been bit terly opposing since it was first pro posed. -' Heated Discussion Held. There was a big delegation of citissns and representatives of various organi sations present when the committee took up consideration of the ordinance at 10 o'clock, and most of them had something to say. The result was a number of important changes In the ordinanm it had been tentatively drawn up by City Attorney Grant. These changes will be passed upon by the committee later, as the purpose of the meeting was to get suggestions from the public, but most of the changes will undoubtedly be adopted.
