Political gossip is now the chief topic
of conversation. The democrats are
working to secure the denomination of
Hon. w. T. Martin for supervisor from
this district at the democratic county
convention this fall. Mr.. Martin has,
during his term OF office, proved
to be worthy and painstaking
official, and has succeeded in
securing for this portion OF the
county necessities that they have needed
for years. w. T. Martin is a gentleman
of energy and good address, and has been
prominently connected with the demo-
cratic party in this county for over
twenty years, having in that time held
many offices of trust, defeating his oppo-
nents by large majorities. During his
term as supervisor there has never been
heard word of complaint, even from
the republicans. He is undoubtedly one
of the most popular democrats in Los
Angeles county. Ii renominated for
supervisor he will be elected by large
majority. With W. T. Martin for super
visor and H. B. Westerman for assem-
blyman Pomona valley will be well rep
resented in the next election.
