View OF tho situation.

With fifty odd candidates for state
and county Offices button-holing citi-
zsns and invading sauctums to plead for
recognition on November 9th, ths pres
ent position OF the average citizen and
taxpayer is not an enviable one. Never
in the history OF politics in this city and
county has individual work by candi-
dates been so generally INDUCED in as
during this campaign. This is noticeably
the case with the Repu ublican candidates
and is in large measure due to the lack
OF experience on the part of the cam.
psign committee, which has rendered it
necessary for the candidates to 20 1t
alone on the free-for. all basis. A candi-
date whose name is close up to the head
OF the county ticket informed the HER
AL D representative yesterday that the
prospects looked dark for some OF the
ticket, and that the whole was in danger.
The charge which the HERALD ha,
made that false registration has been
one OF the schemes which Lindley and
Webber. acting under instructions from
Burns, have adopted to win out Nc
Lachlan and the state and county tick cts,
is confirmed by the board of supervisors
who, through the aid Of private detect-
ives. have unearthed at least $50 fraud
ulent names. The Evening Express,
when the charge Of fraud was frat made,
rus ned to the rescue Of the conspirators
wi h table of averages to prove the
honesty OF the registration, came out
last night in its political column with an
open admission that fraud in fact does
exist. fortunately for the Taxpayers

Henry 7. Hazard, while speaking
about the congressional contest, yester.

certainly reflects discredit upon his ad-

Patton at santa Monica.

Special to the HERALD.
SANTA MONICA, Nov. Hon. George
s. Patton. the Democratic nominee for
congress. was given hospitable welcome
by the citizens OF Santa Monica this
evening, who assembled to listen to an
address upon the issues, political and
commercial, that are involved in the
election Of q congressman from this dis-
trict.
An endeavor had been made by few
narrow. minded partisans to work up q
sentiment against Mr.. Patton and to
make his meeting q failure. This en-
deavor was not. however, productive of
the results that it was intended to do
velop. On the other hand the reverse
was accomplished. The best citizens
turned out to listen to MIR. Patton's mas.
terly discourse. The utmost respect was
shown him on all hands.
After e.;e! discussion OF the national
issues, Mr.. Patton devoted his time and
attention to the Pacific railroad debt,
which he has discussed throughout this
campaign in manner and with thor
oughness that has never before been
shown by an orator on the stump. 1t
was not school boys effort. full of
thmmorlngs HhlttuR anu oQulVOChtiOu.
He took bold, manly position in favor
of the foreclosure OF the government
debt OF the Pacific roads as soon as it
becomes due, and of their maintenance
and operation by the government in the
interests of the people.
AS to the harbor question, Mr.. Patton
told the people of Santa Monica that
they all knew his position with regard to
that issue. He was for San Pedro, first,
last and all the time. He felt that. In
standing as he did, he was laboring for
the best interests OF the people of all
Southern California. He regretted that
circumstances had arisen which com.
PEELED such action on his part, but mas. 4.
much 90 they had, he was was willing
and anxious for Santa Monica people to
understand and know fully where he
stood on the harbor matter. He came
before them as q man with no desire to
deceive them or obtain their votes under
falee pretenses.
Mr.. Patton's address created decided
impression. His auditors admired him
for his courage, and the talk he made
lost him no votes here.

for the previous fiscal year, is a very
