to Retain Control of the Super
visors-Political News Notes.

The silver campaign committee has
made every arrangement that is possi-
BILE to conceive of to have an honest cleo
ton in Los Angeles county. This will
result in an overwhelming majority for
Bryan.
1t is now a known fact and The Her.
aid has all along asserted that it was
true, that the register of the voters of
this county contains the names of 5000
or 1000 suffers.
The registration was taken under the
direction of the Republican county clerk
and the presence of those names on the
great register bodies no good to the
cause of silver.
Whether they were put there for the
purpose of getting fraudulent votes into
the box or not remains to be seen.
They may have been put there by the
deputies of County Clerk Newlin, who
took the registration for the purpose of
securing the cents per name which the
county paid deputies for taking the reg
istration.
Be that as it may, tomorrow will not
be a good day for fraudulent voters.
The man who tries to get vote into
stands a promising chance of taking
practical observations of life in a prison
cell al San Quentin.
the silver campaign committee has
engaged large corps of detectives and
every voting precinct in the county will
be watched.
Any man voting fraudulently is amen
able to the federal as well as to the state
courts and he will be severely dealt with.

THE SUPERIOR JUDGES.
1t is an open and we'll known fact that
Judge b. N. Smith secured his renom-
ination for superior judge in the Repub-
lican county convention by the careful
canvassing he has for the past two
years been giving the country members
of the term trial jures that have been
impaneled in his department of the
superior court.
While Mr. Smith as superior judge
is far from satisfactory it must be con-
feSsed that as successful politician he
is far above the average. The gentle
man is an excellent manipulation when it
comes to politics. and as in his depart
ment there have been hundreds of jurors
impaneled in the past few years he has
had an excellent opportunity to labor
in field in which he is peculiarly fitted
to advance his own political interests.
In the first place Mr.. Smith is fitted
by neither natural nor acquired at
tainments for the position of judge He
is narrow. prejudiced and great player
to the galleries. He is one of the judges
the court house ring is ardently de-
sirous of saving from the avalanche
which they now see coming tomorrow.
Judge Smith on the bench has render
ed them valuable assistance. The work
of grand juries has been nullifled and
rendered ineffective through his rulings.
He Is a good man for good citizens to
return to the walks of private life. The
members of the bar, regardless of pol
itics, will be glad to see him again act
ing in q private capacity
The story printed by The Herald yes
terday morning to the effect that men
were being promised places on the
panel of term trial juries in the su-
perior court in the event of the election
of certain Republican candidates Ar
judges, created a decided sensation. The
statement is one of the most startling
that has been made in this campaign,
and only shows what desperate straits
the party is in to elect it's judges.
The only absolutely safe move for cit
liens to make is to vote for everyone of
the four candidates on the union sill
yer ticket for judges.
