The Municipal Tickets-The Peoples and
Workingmen's Candidates Curious
Phases ofthe Latter Body's Nominees.

i
Sunday and yesterday the nomi-
nations of the two Conventions
which met Saturday night were
largely discussed. We propose but
brief glance at some of the nomi
nees of each party in this issue of
the HERALD. We will take them
in their order.
FIRST OF THE PEOPLES TICKET.
Mr.. Ben Cohu. Democrat, wa.
nominated for Mayor by Mr.. G. G.
Lips, Republican, and was select
ed by the Peoples party delegates,
who metin the County Court room.
Mr.. COIN is one OF our leading He.
brew citizens, has been q success
full merchant and is a man who for
nearly two years has given his AZ
tention to the affairs of the good
people as a member of the City
Council. While we cannot say
that Mr.. Cohn is personally very
popular, he has elements of strength
which are not to be despised. Not
a man who has co.operated with
Mr.. Cohn in the City Council, from
Mr.. Lips, who nominated him, to
other members who do not love a
bone In his body, will withhold
their testimony to the fact that
Ben Cohn has been the vigilantand
unceasing enemy to anything like
lohbery in our municipal affairs.
No African in the woodpile could
conceal himself so thoroughly as to
escape his lynx eyed watchfulness.
There are people in Los Angeles
silly enough to 60 round talking
about Ben Cohn as a member OF
the Ring. IF there Is such a thing
as the Ring 1t is O good thing thai
Cohn belongs to it, for he has stood
In the breach and prevented, when.
ever in his power, its ever doing
any mischief. The chances of his
being elected Mayor of Los Angeles
are excellent, because he will re-
ceive the support of our leading
business m en-, irrespective of party,
who confide in his integrity of pur-
pose. -
Mr.. L. w. Lord, the Peoples can
dldate for City Treasurer, is Re.
publican of twenty-five years,
standing. He has fought for
his party in season and out
during that long period. He
is a man of fine administrative
ability. He has done much to sd.
vance the interests of this city,
and he is characterized by a high
grade of business efficiency. As
the Democrats exhibit a hearty
disposition to support the Peoples
ticket, IL Mr.. Lord receives the
votes Of his fellow Republicans, his
election ought to bs regarded as a
certainty.
Mr.. b. G. Whiting, the Peoples
nominee for City Attorney, is q |
of force and legal acu-
men. He is consistent aud thor
ough-golng Republican and will |
receive the votes of Dem.
ocrats and Republicans alike, with.
out regard to race, color or previous
of servitude. We shall |
notice other of the Peoples candi-
dates anon.
CURIOUS woRKTNaMEN's TICKET.
