Hervey LiDdley, the Republican nominee
Tor election to Congress in the Sixth Dis
district, is a resident OF Whittier, Los An
geles County. He is tall, slim built man,
ABOUT 40 years OF age, and has the reputa-
'l0n OF being one OF the most effective and
successful political Strategists south OF the
Iehachapt range. He owns considerable
| real estate and improved property in Los
Angeles city and county. He holds con-
splcuous place among the eDterpri>ing class
OF men In Los Angeles to whose efforts are
due the development of Its resources and
its rapid advance from a town of T. 600 to n
city OF $1,000 ia half dozen years He is q
gentleman OF very sffable manners and pop
ular among all classes of the people. He
has contributed literally with means to
achieve Republican victories in the south.
He is one CT the vice. presidents of the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and
the success of that organization is largely
| due to his enterprise. sagacty and ability.
| la 1889, while residing in Los Angeles, he
! was elected by the City Council a member
| of the new Board of Police Commissioners.
| resigning his Office upon changing his resi-
| dence back to Whittier. This is the only
! publ office he has ever held, he having
| confined his attention almost entirely to
| business. Two years ago he was a eandi-
| date for the Republican nomination 20 Con-
| gTeSs from the Sixth District. At that time
the portion OF the Seventh District which
now includes San Diego County was in the
| Sixth District. w. w. Bowers of San Diego
was his principal opponent and a pro-
| tracted contest was had over the prize, two
| adiOurnments of the convention. with sew
| eral weeks interval, taking place between
them. Mr. Bowers finally captured the
| nomination on previous implied pledge on
| the part of Los Angeles to San Diego, in
| consideration of the delegation from the
! latter county standing solid for Hon. ii. H.
Markham of Los Angeles County in the
| gubernatOrial fight The Seventh Congress
! Sional District has since been created. which
took San Diego out Of the Sixth. and this
left a clear field for Mr.. Lindley in the Con-
| gresSional battle this year. lt was generally
conceded two years ago that he was fairly
entitled to the nomination this year. a
factiOnal fight, however, was inaugurateC
against his candidacy. which could avail hui
very little against the popularity OF Mr.
| Lindley, not only in Los Angeles, but II
the entire district. He was the people
man from the beginning, but nevertheless
all kinds of intrigues were devised to secure
his defeat. Mike de Young, among others
joined in the movement 10 throw him down
and entered into an alliance with Harrison
Gray Otis of the Los Angeles Times, b.
which Mike, in consideration OF helpln
Otis TO defeat LindIey, was TO secure tn
legislative delegation from Los Angelo
County. No efforts were spared to carr
out the compact. The result of Mike d
Young's dm-eyed tactics is seen in th
almost total rOut of his forces at Santa Cru
| Yesterday. Mr.. Lindley Will poll the tu
| vote of his district. and on account OF hi
great personal popularity is certain to cap
ture many Democratic votes in the bargain
He is a younger brother of DR.: Waite
Lindley, superintendent OF the WhltIe
Reform School. which was located in LO
Angeles County mainly through Herye
| l.lndley'S personal Influence.
