Light Power company will find that there are 280,000 red-blooded American citizens In this town who cannot be handled by It." Judge McGinn told the big audience that had gathered to hear him, and stood like a yell-leader at a football rally, sub merged in an ocean of applause. "Franklin T. Griffith may be able to fix the legislatures, the council and the publlo service commission," the Judge continued, "but he will find that he can not fix the 280,000 people of Portland whose coppers he Is taking away," and he had to pause again. "Good Laws Won't Save Ut" - "The boys around the company's of fice hays been smiling and saying "Frank has put another one over on 'em.' but this 6-cent fare outrage Is the last one that he will ever put over here," Judge McGinn prophesied, and some straphanger in the back of the hall yelled, "You bet your life," and the au dience voted with him with hand and tongue.
