rAsApFNA, April J.--Althoh election day
IS but short time or, thcro Ia decided lull
In Tho political warfare in thf city at present.
This should. however, by a3nenns be taken
TO mean that thero Is no wot being done, for
great deal OF quiet ruling Is going ON
among the friends OF tho vious candidate.
The only regular ticket & the field Is what

candidates being nominred by petition under
The provisions Of The evbalot law, and they
represent various polltin beliefs. This cleo
ton is the FIRST in whict party lines have been
drawn In tho history 4 politics OF this city,
and brief outline OF pw this ridiculous con-

as Pasadena is not Without intercs. AS Will

two-thirds of the voters were Republicans, thus
effectively barring all others from II hearing

paved; that we have good sewer system, and
that the taxes are kept down, is one OF the
questions which many OF our citizens are
anxiously waiting TO have answered.
1t would seem, however, that this so-called
Republican ticket has no such wnlkover
might be supposed from the results of the
general election. It is indeed doubtful whether
the citizens OF Pasadena are going tolettheir
political beliefs override their personal knowl-
edge of the fitness OF The various gentleme9l
before the public for election to suitably fill
the Offices to which they aspire. What Pasa-
deua wants is good, capable set OF officials,
with ability enough to conduct municipal
affairs in u busincssiike and honest fashion,

while continued thcir flight down the hill and
into the center Of town, where they managed
TO smash the carriage wheels, and were finally
stopped after considerable dithculty.
