MIR. RADER'S POSITION.

Mr.. RAIDERS defense ~ published by
his organ, is weak-so weak that it tot
ters.
1t is q characteristic defense, however
-characteristic OF the advocate by
whom it is made.
The chief article OF this explanation"
is an avowal OF the tranfer of property
in the Broadway extension district from
Mr.. RAIDER to his partner and q subse-
qusnt re-transfer from the partner to
Mr.. RAIDER. 1t is also admitted that in
the interim Of these transfers the prop
commission of which Mr.. RAIDER was q
member. 1t 10 not denied that If Mr..
RAIDER should enter into a similar trans
action as the present time, his conduct
would be open TO grave censure. 1t is
not denied that morally he was censur-
able under any circumstances, and it is
urged that at the time Mr.. RAIDER was
acting az q commissioner there was no
law prohibiting him from sitting in
judgment ON matters in which his own
interests were involved.
Such q defense is in itself q most un-
fortunate admission.
1t emphasizes the necessity of the law
that it claims was subsequently enacted
and which, being now in force. prevents
Mr.. RAIDER from repetition of the trans-
action under prescribed penalties.
There are certain limitations in busi-
ness methods beyond which business
men dare not trespass. 1t is a we'll
defined law among honorable men that
in all matters involving arbitration, the
arbitrators shall have no personal or
proprietary interest in the results of the
decision. They act in judicial capacity
and are morally bound by the same
tenets that govern decisions OF the
courts.
Mr.. RAIDER did own property in the
Broadway extension district; Mr.. RAIDER
did act as Q commissioner to assess
damages for the proposed improve
ments; Mr.. RAIDER did profit directly by
his efforts exercised in such official
ca paoity.
l. there sufficient guarantee that ii he
is elected mayor Of Los Angeles he will
not pursue q similar course for self
aggrandizement in the discharge of his
functions in that official capacity?
This is question that is now dis
cussed by the voters OF Los Angeles. 1t
is a question that has been answered in
the negative by business men. with
whom honorable dealing is the prime
requisite. It is s.question that every
honorable citizen will be called upon to
answer at the polls tomorrow. 1t is a
question that even Mr. RAIDER has thus
far refrained from answering at all.

not larger than the Republican party

gain this year is due to the fact that the
driftwood-the floating vote-always
goes with the tide. and also to the fact
that Harrison did not poll his full party

CoRent Reasons Without a "K.n

EDITOR HERALD Permit me to append q
few facts, as know them to exist, in refuta-

headed Cogent Reasons, With Large X.
Mr.. Ryan has been known to me in both pub
| lie and private life for many years. and the
statements embodied herein will be borne out
and indorsed by every man who has ever had
any business or social relations with him.
Mr.. Ryan can show q clean, unsullied record
| despite the vigorous and persistent mud throw.
ing of his disgruntled and disheartened adver-
saries.
| Mr.. Ryan is from Galesburg, ILL.,, having been
born and educated there. However he has
been citizen of Los Angeles for a number of
years, and has been untiring in his efforts to
promote its interests.
Mr.. Ryan is everybodys friend, Irrespective
of creed or condition. He neither upholds the
rich in wrong-doing nor oppresses the poor in
distress
Mr.. Ryan will increase the salaries of those
VINO, by the sweat of their brow, are, at present
scarcely able to gain q livelihood. He is the
friend of labor first, last and all the time.
Mr.. Ryan does favor extensive i'm prove
ments, OF which the city stands much in need,
thereby giving employment to hundreds of idle
and discouraged men.
Mr.. Ryan has, as the gentleman t?)wi the
non de plume asserts, with rare forethought
invested the earnings of industry with business
accumen and shrewd common sense"
Mr.. Ryan earned his position as assistant
district attorney, and by his indefatigable la
bo.s and repeatedly demonstrated abilities
won the respect, admiration and encomiums
of his associates, the public and the press
Mr.. Ryan is not n wealthy man, but he has
ever been conscientious, honorable and self
sacrificing in the in ;erests of those who were
dependent upon him in either public or private
lie.
Mr.. Ryan is not boodler but an honest
man, who has not end deavored by disreputable
or ques fonable methods TO accumulate for
tune nor erect costly structures at the expense
OF those who have heretofore placed conf
dence in HIM.
| Mr.. Ryan will give to this city a clean ad-
ministration, and taxpayers who have the best
interests of Los Angeles a heart will cast their
vote on next Monday for William A. Ryan.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

The HERALD has received a communi-
cation from Mr.. Burr Bassell. civil and
hydraulic engineer. in which he UNDER
takes to answer the question whether
the proposed purchase of 400 acres of
land for beadworks of water system,
for $4,000, when said land may be
worth less, is good public policy.
Mr.. Bassell makes no claim of ability
to forecast tine legal rights Of the city OF
Los Angeles to the riparian privileges of
the river, but he advances the opinion
that the city's ownership OF all the wa
ters Of the river for municipal purposes
within it's jurisdiction carries with it no
outside riparian rights other than those
obtained by purchase.
The logic of Mr.. Bassell's position in
this particular is unsssailable, but his
argument does not satisfy the taxpayer
such purchase, or that such issue must
be voted merely to obviste contins en- ces
and possible necessities not yet clearly
manifest. As in private business trans
actions, there must be fair
prospect of adequate return upon
the investment. On the latter propo.
! sition we have the statement of present
owners that the land in question cannot
be purchased now for 100000. and that
its market value is many times in eX.
cess of the amount at which it was rated
when the rancho OF which it wac por-
ton was psrtitioned.
Mr.. Bassell, presumably speaking by
authority, intimates that the city will
never again have the opportunity Of Sc
curing this property for 10000. claim
ing that from personal knowledge, based
upon close investigation, it is worth
more for the purposes and uses OF the
city than any other tract of the sane
acreage in the county.
The essence of Mr.. Bsssell's communi.
cation lies in his assertion that while hs
does not advocate the issuing of all the
bonds proposed, for so-called public I'M
provements. amounting to half million
dollars, he is firmly of the opinion that
there can be no reasonable doubt in the

formed citizens that the city should own
and contro! its own water supply syste IN.
In order to cope with the present was
ter company, entrenching and fortify-
ing itself as it is more and more each
year, it is absolutely necessary that the
city should begin preparation for the
struggle that is imminent. and which
will be in full swing two or three years
hence. 1t lie possible that the land, for
the purchase of which the city is asked
to issue bonds, is. as Mr.. Bassell claims,
"the key to the situation" and it may
be that the decision in this instance will
