Republican representatives who fol-
lowed his flag could find reSsons At the
beginning for fsvoring his candidacy
there was no political code which bound
them after the decision OF the majority.
But il they felt that any further obliga.
tion re quired them to adhere to him for

exhausted Ia the long contest OF the last
two months -Philadelphia Press.
The candidacy OF Mr.. Addlcks was ILL.,

Disputed Water Power-Fiesta Herald in Great
Demand

Demand
SANTA ANA, April II. Since the
proposition was sprung to lease water
power of the Olive Mill Company for cleo
trio lights for this city there has come up
some objections by stock owners of the
irrigation company, who claim that the
Olive Milling Company has no right
whatever to lease water power from the
company's irrigating ditch, and pro-
test will perhaps be put in to stop
proceedings. 1t is claimed if there is
anything to be desired from the COM
panys power the Irrigation Company
should be benefited by it and not the
Olive Milling Company. 1t is claimed
that the Irrigation Company has about
90, 900 horsepower at this point which
will soon be worth great deal for manu-
featuring purposes.
The street car company asked the pres
ident of the city board to call meeting
for clock this afternoon to talk over
the proposition of paving the street car
portion of Fourth street. All the mem
bers of the board but Garner were present
with the City Attorney and Mr.. Bundy,
president of the street railway, and Mr..
Palmer, a heavy stakeholder in the COM
pany. 1t was an informal meeting and
j. W. Bundy asked what the board
would do in regard to the FORGETTING
tuC lTduCulSe. NuttlleT tlo
would allow the street car company
to forfeit that portion of the street only
where the paving was being done or
would they compel them to forfeit the
whole of their line inside of the city
limits?
OF course this question could not be
answered at the meeting, SO there was
nothing done. A meeting Of the street
car company will probably be called for
tomorrow.
The following is list of applicants for
the several officers to be appointed by the
new city board that meets next Monday
