GENTLEMEN: We the undersigned Republi-
can voters, residing in the - ward OF the
city OF Pasadena, county of Los Angeles, state
of California, believe that in the interest OF
the people, as well as in the promotion OF the
| principles of the Republican party:
Thatin the nomination of candidates for of
| fee there should be fair and free expression
Of the members Of the parry and to the end
should enter into no combinations by which
support OF any candidate may be obtained by
promises of support to other candidates. Such
practice is not only in violation of law, but
has tendency to elect inferior men to public
position.
business, and that inferior services should not
be accepted where superior services can be
obtained.
That delegate to the next county conven-
ton shall be elected who will insist on indi-
vidual representation and will not submit TO
the leadership of professional politicians, and
who will be free to support the best men for
nomination to the various ofllces, irrespective
of personal friendship or personal claims for
support. ,, .,a., -
that the Offices were created not for the benefit
pt1thainrRplhsflnts ia hHt fHiehesr oi ore ps6fIe.
That you, gentlemen, are in accord with
| these principles. and, ii elected delegates to
| the next county convention from your ward,
| will act in accordance herewith.
| AS it was decided sometime ago by the coun-
| ty central committee to call ward eailsuses for
| the purpose of allowing all Republicans a
chance TO participate in nominating delegates,
great surprise is expressed by many Republi-
cans that such measure as the above should
have beer. resorted to. .Apropos Of this ac-
ton the following letter has been handed to
the HERALD correspondent
"The signers ofthe petition for delegates pub
lished in the Star seem to have acted without
consulting the members of the county central
committee residentin Pasadena. Surely there
is nothing in the w candidacy OF such worthy
Hahn w. S. Wright and gHon. A. NJ. Simpson
TO arouse the suspicion in the breast OF the
honest voter that he or the delegates OF his
lminary councils of the party.
"Then why this attempt TO forestall public
opinion and foist upon the Republicans OF Pas
adena ticket not fully authorized by the ma
jority of the party?
SIN the light OF the balderdash published as
an excuse for this hasty action 1t would seem
to be case of ''well if we don't do 1t the other
fellows will" which is an extremely poor rea-
son for an unwarranted action. Good Repub-
licans will know how to resent such an inter
ference with their rights. LANCASTER"
