Vetoed by the Governor.
Three Legislative Acts OBJ

The governor has vetoed three acts
passed by the last legislature. The
first. and one which caused much talk
before it got through the house, is
entitled: ITO provide fer the appoint
nent of magistrates aud 10 define their
jurisdiction, powers aud duties - The
governor objected to this act for two
special reasons, the first being hat it
gave him no power to remove magis-
trate, 90 matter Of what act he was
guilty Complaints we're received very
soon after by him from people in regard
to magistrates and if this act was pass.
ed he would have no way Of getting
an incapable man out Of the Office 1t
will be remem bered that the house re-.
jected this part of the law, but it was
afterwards put 10 by the conference
committee aud so got through
The second objection to the act was
tba, after tie senate had rejected mag
is;rate be could not be reappointed
The second act was: ITO declare
the duties of county treasurers as to
publishing their reports and to prohibit
payment therefor . The objection to
this was that it vas only by publishing
the county treasurer's reports thas the
people could learn of the 6oanocs Of
their county and they ought not TO be
kept in the dark.
The third is: IT. dispose cf GER

AT THE SOLDIERS HOME.
The Veterans Take Part in an En-
thusiastic Silver Meeting.

The first firing Of the heavy ordnance
at the Soldiers home took place on
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, when
Earl Rogers took the platform to ex-
pound the sound doctrine of Bryan, Bar
low and silver. To say that the old
warriors were aroused by the eloquent
young mans logical and telling points is
putting it very mildly. 1t could be seen,
as the speech progressed that hundreds
of true hearts beat in the breasts of
those men, who had risked their all to
save the nation. The old fellows warmed
up to the young man, many, no doubt,
thinking of the happy days of yore, when
they, too, fiery, impulsive, courageous
and patriotic, rushed to the front, help
ing the just cause with might, word and
arms.
A committee from the Los Angeles
Union Veteran Bryan Silver club acted
as an escort, and were warmly received
by their comrades at the home, and ev-
cry possible favor shown them by the
commander of the post.
1t need not be dwelt upon that Gen.
Seargent, who Is no stranger at the
home, moved the hearts of the old men
as only he-one of Gods noblest men
and the country's heroic defenders-can
do, and the applause showered upon him
showed that he spoke as the listeners
thought.
Mr.. Morgan, the supervisoral candi-
date, was then called upon, and he, be-
ing an old veteran, whose, whole fam

BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT
Candidates Notifed-Francis Has Not
Yet Accepted

Official notice was yesterday sent by
mail by the Better City Government
league to al 1.-The candidates nominated
informing them of their prefcrment and
asking whether they can consistently
stand on the platform adopted by the
convention. AS the platform deals only
with generalities in the line of munici-
pal reform. 1T is presumed that mono of
the nominees will refuse to subscribe
to it.
Answers from all the nominees are
expected within few days, then petit
tions will be circulated for signatures,
in order to get their names printed on the
official ballot. The law requires candi-
dates who are not the nominees of regu-
lar parties to file petitions signed by not
less than three per cent of the voters
whose. suffrage they bid for with the
city clerk within thirty days before
election. The time is short for the full
flment of this requirement. but the law
Will be strictly complied with.
John f. Francis has not yet accepted
the nomination for mayor, but it is
practically settled that he will yield to
the pressure brought to bear upon him
and consent to enter the race, provided
he can see his way clear to do it,
Mr. FRANCIS reluctance to accept the
nomination Is due to assurances given
various persons early in the campaign
that he would not be a candidate for any
office. One or two persons to whom he
made this implied promise have not vet
absolved him from it, hence his reti-
cence to accept the honor. He has said
That his word is his bond, a fact which
no one who knows him would doubt for
an instant. Therefore, it is safe to as
sumo that Mr.. Francis will not consent
10 run FOR mayor unless he is released
from all obligations, implied or other
wise. that would make his candidacy in
consistent with his former declarations.
Ills friends. however urge that his
promises were not of such a nature as
would preclude his honorably accepting
nomination so freely and unanimously
rendered him. They say he is making a
mountain out of a mole hill What he
really meant when he said he would
not be candidate for office, was that he
was not an office seeker This was not
a case of the man, seeking the office, but
or the office seeking the man. Mr.
Francis will probably give a decisive
answer within the next few days.

CROSS WITH CARE

A confidential circular has been sent
out to election officers from the Repub-
lican state headquarters at San Fran
cisco, giving minute Instructions for
their guidance on election day, and urg-
ing upon them the necessity for getting
out every voter. Among other instruc-
tions given is the following in double
loaded black type
Instruct watchers and election officers
to see to it that where the same name
appears on two or more electoral tickets.
and if stamped more than once, that it
is NOT COUNTED FOR SUCH NAMES
This is very important and carelessness
or dishonesty on the part of election Of
ticers in this regard may work our.cause
great harm. The poll books should con-
form of the ballot and there shall be Il
separate tally sheet kept for each group
of electors-one for Republicans, one for
Democrats one for Populists, etc. There
is no authority of law for tallying votes
for Democratic Peoples party elect
ors" There is no such party and there
are no such electors on the ballot. The
certificates should show the number of
votes cast for each group as printed on
the ballot. There is no authority or law
to add together votes cast for the differ
ent groups of electors, although the
same names appear in both groups.
While it is a question as to the legality
of the conclusions of the Republican
managers, it is just as well to be on the
safe side, and Democrats should be
careful in marking their ballots, and not
give even a chance for dispute.

the following words:

Other business. Thursday, October 49,
Club rooms. Marchers of Tuesday, come

The board stood near the entrance of
the hall where the Mckinley club have
their headquarters and was evidently
placed there, not as a hoax nor by some
anarchist" who believes in free silver
but by the "holier than thou" McKin-
ley local leaders and in good faith. In

EAGLE ROCK NOW SAFE
Three New Converts Place 1t in the
Bryan Column by Five Majority

A largely attended and enthusiastic
celebration OF the successful campaign
at Eagle Rock took place on Thursday
evening The meeting crowded the hall
and was called to order by E. D. Goode
Of the Peoples party central commit
tee. r. w. Parker was elected chair
man. The meeting was opened by the
Eagle Rock glee club, composed of Mr..
and Mrs. A. o. Parker, Mr.. and Mrs G.
e. Myers. James Briefly, Lee Myers and
c. B. Briefly. This glee club has done
noble work in neighboring towns
throughout the campaign.
Mr.. w. H. Niemeyer of Los Angeles
then gave a succinct historical review
of the United States bond and currency
system, showing lack of standard
money. Charles B. Briefly sang a solo,
which was greeted with liberal applause.
Miss Lena Frackleton followed with a
well-delivered defamation entitled, Up
Raise the Silver Standard. Then came
a novel and very unique performance by
six little school maidens bearing flowers
and, depositing them in vases as they
marched, so as to make sixteen white
bouquets and one yellow one. The six
little maidens were dressed alike in sill
yer white, but each represented a popu-
lar party. Miss Matte Briefly repre-
Sented the DrOaQ-gauge PrOnlDlt1On1StS,
and spoke of the Implicit confidence of
all in the noble leader of the new reform;
Miss Mabel Myers represented the JEFF
fersonian Democrats, Miss Susie Parker
the Lincoln Republicans, Miss Edith
Parker the four million unemployed.
Miss Fay Goode the federated trades
and farmers, and Miss Lena Frackleton
the Peoples party. Each declared al
legiance to William Jennings Bryan
and free silver. and all Joined in song
entitled, We Will Rally Round Our
Hero.
Mr.. c. F. Harris, a silver Republican.
of Pasadena reminded the audience
that up to June last California unqual-
fhedly favored free silver. Her Repub-
licans now, however, in trying to stand
upon the contradictory planks of high
protection and gold standard found
themselves in the position of the church
as defined by too eulogistic minister:
"One foot firmly planted on the Rock of
Ages and the other pointing to the
stars" The peoples rallying song by the
glee club an eloquent speech by Frank
Scheldler and Goodbye, Mckinley,
Goodbye, an original song by Mr.. E. d.
Goode, closed the enjoyable celebration
at late hour.
The ladies of Eagle Rock have taken
unusual interest and done noble work
In the campaign. Prominent among
them have been Mines and Misses Ny
