Selling Each Other Out.

The fact is apparant to all observers
that the struggle of the Independents.
so called, is mere scramble for office
and in their anxiety to secure place
they are throwing off ON each other
with a shamefacedness that ought to
bring the blush to the cheek of the
most unscrupulous politician. With
a few honorable exceptions these Re-
publican-Independent candidates are
electioneering each for himself with
out regard to the success of the other
nominees. Wehave reports of this
character from all parts OF the county
and so openly is this game of go.for-
me-and-never-mind -the-rest carried
on that voters are becoming dissatis-
fled with the selfish beggars and free
ly avow their determination not to
vote for any of them. The election
eerers of Mr.. TEMPLE are notoriously
conspicuous in their efforts to secure
votes for him even though to do so
they trade off the remainder of the
ticket. 1t is hinted that there is a
strong metallic argument used to OBJ
tain votes for Mr.. TEMPLE and Mr..
HoUGHToN. The Republican mana
gers of the Independent ticket prefer
to elect these two men even though
success is only obtainable at the sacra-
flee of every other candidate on the
ticket. Their reasons for this are
plain. The election of HoUaToN will
be heralded as an Administration vic
tory and Will aid the campaign next
year. Mr.. TEMPLES success is desired
because he is man of wealth and his
money is needed to aid in defraying the
expense of the approaching Presiden-
tial campaign. The sell out game is
one of great danger for the reason that
whensit is discovered it turns the
friends Of the other candidates against
the selfish schemers and loses them
more votes than they gain by the trad
ing off their associates on the ticket.

An Injury to the County.

People at distance who chance to
read copy of the Los Angeles En-
press and believe what they read, can
not avoid the conclusion that this
county is in miserable blecondition; that
her people have been robbed by office
holders; that they are at the mercy of
rings and cliques and that the county
is on the verge of bankruptcy. Away
from home people do not understand
that the cry for retrenchment and re-
form is but the campaign wall of doz-
en- chronic Office seekers and their sub
sidized journals, and not a true state
ment of the case. The fact is and it
will be testified to by every resident of
this valley that Los Angeles county is
to-day the most rapidly improving
county in the State. Within the past
eighteen mont this her population has
almost doubled and her taxable prop
erty has doubled within that period.
Wealthy men are investing their mon
ey here by the hundreds of thousands
of dollars, something never done in a
county whose public affairs are extrav-
agantly conducted. If our public Off
GERS were the thieves and robbers
which the Express would have its
readers believe, in place of our present
prosperity We should be groveling in
debt; we could not note the rapid in
crease of population and we could not
record the acquisition of men of wealth
and influence. Such statements as the
Federal office holders organ is daily
sending forth cannot but work serious
injury to our county abroad. They
are false it is true-false in word, spirit
and inception-but they may be read
by people who have not opportunities
for learning the truth. Allthese false
hoods and ISLANDERS are sent forth for
the sole purpose of maligning worthy
men in order that untried and perhaps
unworthy office seekers may be MAIN
tanned at the expense of the people.

l aiding other enterprises.

JUDGE THOMPSON is credited with
saying in his speech at San Jose that
the average price of a vote in Los An
geles county is two dollars and half.
The Judge is resident of this county
and a candidate for office and there
fore ought to know whereof he speaks.
We are however inclined to the opin-
ion that he has understated the market
value of the commodity and we base
our conclusion on the fact that Mr..
TEMPLES canvassers spent money
enough two years ago to have pur-
chased two thirds of the votes of the
county at the Judges quotation, yet
he was not elected. If however, the
price of votes has fallen to the Judges
figures we think it probable that both
