THE TEST CHANGED.
The Republican congressional com.
mittee OF this, district met yesterday at
the Office of Hervey Lindley. The
committee transacted some important
campaign work. Itwas largely proxy
meeting.
Hon. E. F. Spence of this city was
elected chairman of the committee. and
Freeman G. Teed was named as vice.
chairman. George L. Arnold was elected
secretary.
The following executive committee
was chosen: E. f. Spence, George i.
Arnold, Freeman G. Teed and d. O.
Miltimore.
The most important work the commit
tee did was to direct the secretary to
forward to the Republican county com
mittee of Los Angeles county the follow
! ing communication
This congressional committee re-
spectfully requests the executive COM
mittee of the Republican county central
committee to eliminate from the prima-
ry test the name of our Republican
nominee for congress, Hervey Lindley.
! In justice to Mr.. Lindley, it is proper
to state that the motion to add hisname
to the primary test vote was made with
! out his knowledge or consent; further
more, Mr.. Lindley desires it to be thor
oughly understood that he does not
wish his name to be used as stumb-
ling block in the way OF any voter"
This request is generally regarded
among Republican politicians as an
anomalous one. The central committee
at its meeting Monday, decided first
that the test should be: 'Will you sup
port Harrison and Reid" But the
name OF Mr.. Lindley was added to the
test upon motion of Committeeman
Savage, of San Pedro. 1t was by no
means unanimous vote, however,
when 1t came to adding Mr.. Lindley' s
name to the test.
OFF FOR SANTA BARBARA.
| Most OF the delegates to the Santa
Barbara Democratic congressional con-
vention left yesterday for the scene of &C.
(tion. Today the convention will be
opened. and the chances are that it's la
borB will be brief. Los Angeles torty-
three delegates will cut quite a figure in
the deliberations of the gathering. Here
in Los Angeles considerable interest is
manifested among Republicans and
Democratic alike as to what will prob
ably be done.
