HAPPENINGS At PASADENA,
The Council to Consider the s.
p. Franchise Today.
The Political Situation Briefly
Summed Up.
Social and Other Interesting Events
for the Wesk-Personals and
7. Notos of Inter-


city. Public sentiment is somewhat
divided on the matter, many fsvoring
the granting Of a franchise to como up
Broadway as far as Colorado street, but
the proposition to cross this street meets
bitter opposition on all sides. Both the
present roads. the Santa Fe and Termi-
nal, are watching the proceeding very
closely and will doubtless have Q finger
in the pie before the matter is finally
settled.
Tomorrow afternoon the council will
have tussle with the application for a
franchise. and much depends on the out.
come. It 10 believed that majority OF
the board favor the road coming in, but
this does mot settle the thing by any
means, provided the property owners
still continue to object. Should the
petitioners against the roads coming in
secure q majority OF the frontage along
the avenue the game would be
blocked, % the council would have
no authority to grant any request for
franchise which was opposed by ma
jority OF the interested parties. This is
where the real pinch comes in, and as
both sides claim to have u majority OF
the frontage, the proceedings tomorrow
will be watched with . great deal OF in
tsrest.
There is no question but that the COM
ing of the Southern Pacific into the city
would prove . benefit to the place, pro-
vided the company does not ask for too
much. The proposition to cross Colo.
RADIO street is absurd and will never be
consented to by our citizens. On Broad.
way below, however, there 10 no serious
objection, provided property owners
whose homes are injured are properly
recompenssd.
The action OF the council is awaited
with interest.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Az tho day OF election draws nearer
the anticipated enthusiasm which has
bssn looked for along at the close OF the
campaign fails to put in an appearance.
In fact there is none in this city, which
is claimed body and soul by the Repub.
licans. Never has there been apolitical
OF the G. o. P. have had such hard work
In sndeavoring to stir up any life. Peo-
pie have turned out fairly we'll to the
meetings, but all the spread-eagle gleism Of
the orators has failed to make single
hearty response. The silence 10 omin-
GUS and is giving the boomers much
concern. They are not ct all certain
about the quality Of the ground they are
standing on.
The local fight for justices is pscu-
liar one and the outcome is doubtful.
Peter Steil, Democratic, and +. H.
Bishop, Populist, will both poll good
votes. H. E. Lawrence, independently
Republican (present incumbent) states
that he 10 in the fight to win and ex-
poets to DO elected, ~ does @. N. Terry.
who 10 also Republican, and will draw
largely from the Prohibition vote In that
party. This makes matters look dubious
for the regular Repu blican nominees, F.
g. Rossiter end F. II. Merriam, the
latter being at present in office.
For constable there are four candi-
dates, two of whom must be selected.
Amos Bye 10 on the fusion Democratic
