Faise Charges Of the Times Informant An

REDONDO Sept 9.-Readers of the
Times, of whom there are but few IN
this city, were favored with letter IN
this mornings issue over the signature
of w. j. Browning. in which that gentle
man charges The Herald correspondent
with knowingly misrepresenting the
good people of this place." To substan-
tiate this charge he first makes the
statement that your correspondent says
1.-The A. P. A. imported men here thirty
DAYS before election in order to carry
the election" No such statement. nor
anything that might be SO construed
by the most stupid or prejudiced mind
ever appeared in the Redondo budget,
nor was ever published by your cores
pondent. The Times informant evident
ly refers to an Individual letter which
appeared in The Herald of Sept. l, which
was in no wise connected with your cor
respondents work, or even referred to
anything ever appearing in the regular
budget. Even this individual letter is,
however, grossly misquoted. The pas
sage referred to reads as follows:
Party lines were drawn not wholly
between Republicans and Democrats
but were on the basis of A. P. A. or nom
A. P. A.. etc. The opposition Gas charac-
terized above) saw that in order to con-
troll the municipal election 1t would be
necessary for them to command twenty
additional votes To accomplish this,
so 1t is claimed on the best of authority,
the local leaders held conference with
a certain we'll known Republican in Los
Angeles, with the result that thirty days
before the election the needful ballot
aid was gathered up among the Republi-
can ward workers and bosses tools in
the city and shipped like so much bag
gage to Redondo."
From the above IL will be seen that
even after stupidity mixing matters up
the Times informant has maliciously
misrepresented, first by attributing to
The Herald correspondent what he did
not write, and secondly by stating what
is untrue of the letter he does refer to.
Further along in his intelligent epis-
tie Mr.. Browning tells in his own pc
culiar way of the arrest of King War
rem by three deputy constables. and in
commenting on The Herald's report Nof
that valorous act says: For this act
these men were denounced as rufflans by
your correspondent and the gamblers
spoken of as highly respected citizens"
Like it's predecessor, this allegation
is also false in it's entirety. In reporting
the arrest Of Warren your correspond
ent stated that the arrest was believed
by the better class of citizens to be an
outrage This is the exact language of
the letter of August "a. and as it stands
Is not given as the reporters opinion, but
was in fact written after the sentiment
therein expressed was aired by many
of the leading citizens of Redondo. King
Warren is in no place referred to as
highly respected citizen,' nor has he
or any Of his associates ever been so
spoken Of by The Herald.
In conclusion, the Times Redondo
censor says: 1--WE hope nothing more
will appear in The Herald casting re-
Elections on the best citizens of our
town. The people of the town are very
indignant about these false statements
and the notoriety given them through
The Herald" This is merely quoted
that the humor Of the words false
statements" may be fully appreciated
in this connection when appearing I'M
der the deadly parallel above.
