ative committee and the linea they have
laid down for the county campaign.
The first open break in the ranks of
the old.tims Republicans came with the
announcement of the names OF the ex-
scutive committee by the Times chair
man of the county committee, F. w.
Wood.
Not one of the tried and true names
appeared in the list. and the general
sentiment 90 expressed in and about
Republican headquarters was that Mr..
Wood bad gathered from the rsnks OF
ths A. P. A. kindergarten class of
statesmen, who, barring accident, will
wreck what little chance the g,o.p. has
lett of victory after the antics OF the
county convention.
Old-timers like Henry Gage, Jacob
Frankenfsld. w. N. Monroe, Walter s.
Moore, DIR. Oochrsne, DR.. MacGowan,
Oscar Macy, John @. Wray, John Ros-
sitter, and host OF lesser lights, rubbed
:. ir eyes and wondered "Where are we
at"
No open protest was made against the
methods OF the committee until yester-
day, when the official announcement
was made that the most important work
of the campaign was placed in charge OF
a man who had not gained residence
in the county at the general election
held in 1892.
When the word was passed along the
line that o. W. Fleming, one OF the
most prominent leaders Of American
Protective association in the Fourth
ward, had been appointed to make a
canvass OF the county and prepare the
challenge books for the coming election,
O howl went up among the rank and file
of the party workers that will find it's
echo on election day.
Yesterday the proceedings in the COM
mittee rooms were enlivened by the
visit OF a com mittes of old line Repub-
licanB from the Seventh ward, whose
mission was to enter O protest against
the general sidetrscking of the old war
horses, which was given ont to be the
policy OF the man from the Fourth ward
who has the unanimous support of the
j. j. Gosper. II. @. Register, Aaron
Smith. Colonel Dunkelberger and the
various councils of the American Pro-
tective associations, but has never voted
she Republican ticket in Los Angeles
county.
The committee from the Seventh en-
tered their protest, but got no eatisfsc-
tion and left in disgust.
One member remarked as he trsiled
down stairs: "If have got to foreswear
the constitution OF the United States
and OF the state OF California, join q
secret political society and follow in the
lead OF John James Cooper to work for
she Republican party. ] will notify Dan
Burns and W. W. Stowe that my interest
in their party ceases, and | will vote for
Jim Budd Of Stockton and pay my fare
over the Southern Pacific railroad for
the next four years."
Meanwhile the candidates on the
county ticket are watching the proceed
ings with an anxious eye, and have
about made up their minds to work out
their own political salvation and allow
the kindergarten statesmen 70 STUN BILE
along in the fog OF uncertainty which at
the present writing envelops thsm.
So deep is the disgust of the masses
at the -Stowe-Lindley- w IBERIA.
p. A. county ticket that when two
Republican club meetings fall on the
same night, they join Issue to attract q
crowd.
This was done last night when the
Millard club held meeting in the
Jones block on North Main street.
Official notice had been published in
the Times of yesterday that owing to
the fact of the Millard club meeting the
Los Angeles Republican league would
not hole its usual Monday night ses-
8ion.
So it goes all along the line, and the
sentiment is growing that Estee will
swamp the state ticket and the ghost
OF Hervey Lindley, which will not
down, will defeat James McLachlan,
combination candidate for congress in
this district.
A leading Republican voiced the gen.
eral sentiment yesterday in the follow
ing language: "Budd and Patton NAV
not be or represent all that /, as an old
line Republican, could wish for or in
dorse, but there is one thing certain
the nomination of these men was NOT
between Coils P. Huntington's man
Friday. "Bill" Stowe, and the ex-de.
faulter Dan Burns, who own them body
and soul. their protests to the contrary
notwithstanding.
'Estee may be a good old man, but
Burns made him a political possibility
at Sacramento, and for that reason, and
that alone, my suffrage goes to Jim
Budd.
''As for McLachlan every voter in the
district knows his connection with Lind.
ley and the Damron gang, and for that
reason he will be showed under in No
vember, and my vote will help out the
snowstorm.
Thousands of conservative Republic
cans think as | do.
II meet them every day in my bust.
ness talks, and mark my words, younl
man, the quiet, conservative vote in the
Republican party will put final quietul
on Dan Burns and the railroad ring thil
fall.
"Our opportunity came with the Aus
tralian ballot, which they cannot tsmpel
with"
Since it has leaked out that l. r
Dunkelberger is to be under sheriff in
case Of Burr's election, the latter gentle
man has been receiving rather a cole
reception both from the party workeri
and the independent, respectable ele
ment of the party. 1t is rumored tonigh
that Burr denies it, but there is sale
to be good grounds for the runner not
withstanding.
