Notes.
SANTA MONICA, Feb. 9-The approaching
city election, which takes places in April, is
already being talked about, wires being laid
and dickers and deals made by the dis
tinguished citizen, taxpayer, politician and
anxious reader. There are two city trustees,
a city treasurer, city clerk aud four marshals
to be elected, and where candidates have not
yet come from beneath the wood pile, names
are being canvassed for the various offices.
CITY ELECTIONS in Santa, Monica are queer
affairs, at best it being hard to place men,
there being no reason to suppose that because
a certain man supported the ticket of faction
last time that he viii do so this, but the po-
litical atmosphere of the place partaking more
OF the ballroom character, namely, that when
the man has finished his dance with one girl,
he takes his partner for the next
The trustee and marshal fight will undoubt-
eddy be the warmest. Among the names one
hears already mentioned whom citizens would
like to vote for are II. @. Beville, R. R. Harris,
present incumbent, NJ. II. Kimball S. Jackson,
A. Morser W. I. ellis, N. R. FOLSOM and N. A.
Roth.
For clerk, there seems to be no opposition to
c. s. Dale, who has worthily filed the Office for
two years mast, but of course there will be an
aspirant for his place for here every voter is
politician and many office seekers. In the
marshal fight, NJ X Barrets G. B. Dexter and
A. J. Myers are mentioned with the name OF
the latter most frequently on our citizens lips.
For treasurer there are mentioned many
names.
WHARF AGlIAIlON.
The wharf agitation grows with increasing
favor as the day for the holding of the informal
election approaches, with the preponderance
OF sentiment in favor of the bids, but badly of
ficered The opposition is quiet, saying little
but still firmly opposed to the issuance OF
bonds. Whether the necessary two-thirdS can
be secured for the proposition time alone can
tell. If that number do give their approval In
the manner stated, the city trustees Will un
doubtedly give their approval and call the reg
ular election for voting on the question,
