SANTA MONICA, Jan. 26.-The politicians,
and every voting Santa Monican is one, are
plowing an immense acreage of the politi-

at the town election early in April. At

the entire list of aspirants. The nearest
approach would be copy Of the poll list.
The A. p. A's are hard at work, SO are
the anti's. The temperance element is in
it up to the neck, and the saloon faction is
busy watching the moves. The progress
lonists are looking for timber to advance
the town, while small handful of silur-
ians are mournful over not enough in their
ranks to make up a ticket
The old g. A. r. man is not making any
noise, but we can look for music from
them in little while.
The main fight will be on trustees. There
are three to be chosen, a majority of the
board, and as the term of Office is for four
years it will give the successful ones con-
troll of the town offices for that period.

retiring members; ]. HI. Clark, Moses Hos
