Conference-Loca EVENTS
SANTA ANA, May ia few days ago
the HERALD, upon good authority, gave
some names as probable candidates for
the several Offices from the Republican
ranks and ii seems to have stirred up
some of them. They have come out
this week in the Santa Ana Herald with
list of Democrats who are "desirous OF
serving the public.' The Santa Ana
paper seems to think Ii knows, while
we let the Republicans down easy by
saying "they were probable candidates..
There are very few Democrats who have
made it known that they would be can
didates. Az soon as We get full list
we will give their names to the public.
FINE OFFER.
One OF our business men has made
the magnificent offer to donate whole
block OF land to the city, providing 1t
will create a public park and maintain
it. The city should take action in this
matter at once. A public park would
be grand thing for Santa Ana.
