ASSASSINS OF CHARACTER.
This Method of Campaign Warfare Will
Not Hurt Candidate Nickel.

Mr.. Stockwell's record as a friend Of
the Southern Pacific in the Santa Mon-
lea job has even alienated from him the
support of the Times. Having nothing
else to do, therefore, his fool friends are
circulating reports derogatory to F. M.
Nickel, candidate of the First ward for
the council The purpose of these
stories is, of course. to hurt, if possible,
Mr. NickelPs chances of election. In
justice to Mr.. Stockwell, himself, it
might be said that sno effort 10

of these stories has so far proven sue

James r. Armstrong of the Peoples
Party executive committee, commenting
upon the flood of campaign falsehoods
now being poured forth on a suffering
people by the friends of the water COM
pany said:
Yes. in my own ward, the Second,
just these tactics are being tried, but
they will be of no avail to them. The

THE LEAGUE BALLOTS

1T is a good plan to take this ballot with
ballot just as this is marked" This would
prevent an examination of the ballot
and few might not discover the par
tisan character of the ticket offered. One
might possibly not observe that out of
eight nominations for the city hall offices
by the league seven are Republicans,
and of the seven four are present in
cumbents! And that there are no Demo-
Gratis in the ward nominations except
in the First, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
wards. Does this strike the fair-mind-
ed Republican as being a strictly nom
partisan ticket?
The league" circular says: "If there
are more of one party than of-the other
1t is because there happened to be more
available men to be had in that party
than the other" The league" says in
effect. if you wish to vote strictly nom
partisan, independent ticket vote the Re-
publican ticket. 1t is lamentable fact
that the league" started for worthy
purpose has been captured for the most
part by the city hall officials, and it
seems plain that we cannot hope for
"better city government by re-electing
present incumbents.

capitalist and pioneec was last evening
found dead In a chair, sitting at table,

trouble, which during the last couple of
months has grown worse, although not
incapacitating him from business. He
attributed his symptoms to indigestion,
and neglected to consult physician.
Yesterday afternoon he was down
town and left his office few minutes
after o'clock, probably going directly
home and into his room. Failing to ap-
pear at the supper hour, one of his
daughters went to the room and called
her father, even putting her hand on the
back of his chair, but as the room was
dark she supposed he was not in and
left.
A messenger was sent to his office, but
he was not to be found. Just before
$3.50 it was discovered that his hat and
cane We're on the hall rack and again
his daughter went to his room, lighting
the gas. Seated in his chair, drawn Up
to the table, the body leaning forward,
with the head resting on the right hand,
the left extended on the table top, was
Mr.. Bixby, dead, and the body already
cold, showing that he had expired sew
eral hours previously.
Telephone messages were hurriedly
sent for physicians, but their services
were not required. Coroner Campbell
was notified and called at the residence
at 10 o'clock. The body was not removed,
and the inquest will be held at the resi-
dence this morning at 10 o'clock.

MOUNT LOWE EXCURSION.
A Very Pleasant Ending to the Week IS
Work.

After work comes play is a privilege
appreciated by children of a larger
growth fully as much as those of fewer
years. The past week has been one of
constant activity for teachers and
friends interested in the institute work:
therefore, when play day came, no
schoolboy was ever more fully prepared
to enjoy it than the professors and ped
agogues who have been so intently lis
tening and talking in the schooroom
On no similar occasion in this part of the
state have there been in attendance so
many educators eminent in the profess
sion and of national reputation as on
the one just past. Prof Foshay and his
committee have been untiring in their
efforts to bring the best talent available
to Los Angeles, and as fitting close to
this very successful meeting and cour-
tesy to our eastern guests, a trip to
Mount Lowe was planned for yesterday
afternoon
About $50 of the teachers and visitors
availed themselves of the opportunity
for ride up the incline and the beauti-
full views to be seen from the summit
of Mount Lowe. Mother Nature was not
in her happiest mood. however, for by the

Plenty Of teams have been engaged
to bring the voters to the polls tomorrow.

be made on account of such absence
from his usual salary or wages.
Employers are forbidden by section
Al of the purity of elections law to at
tempt to coerce or influence
any voter by posting up handbills
or placards where their men are at
work. Water company and Southern
Pacific, take notice! Intimidating or
corrupting a voter is a felony, according
to section SO of the code. and the purity
of election law is very express in it's
terms as to influencing men to stay
away from the polls.

MIR. BARTLETT EXPLAINS.

Editor Herald: An unsigned article
part of an anonymous circular which
has been mailed to voters of the Third
and Fourth wards-appeared in your is
sue of Friday last, which, while abso-
lutely untrue, casts reflections on my
probity and business integrity. This at
tack deserves the fate of oblivion. which
should await all cowardly anonymous
communications. In this case, however,
the statements are so glaringly untrue
that they cannot be overlooked. That
business man should not aspire to the
office of board of education appears to
be the only ground for the cowardly at
tack. The crime in part of which
stand accused is of being the son-in-law
of Judge l.. c. McKeeby, a thoroughly
educated gentleman, full of years and
honors, a man whom all honor and de-
light to honor--to which charge | am
glad to plead guilty. The false accusa-
tion is the insinuation that ]. individual
ly, or the firm of Bartlett Bros. desire
to furnish the schools of this city pianos,
either to rent or purchase. 1t is curious
fact that we were about the only dealers
in pianos in the city who did not make a
bid either for the rental or sale of pianos
to the board of education a statement
which every piano dealer in the city and
every member Of the present board of
education will be glad to verify.
Every ri. .ht-thinkirrg person will agree
that, had I desired to make a financial
deal, all possibility of doing so would
be precluded, both by honor and by law
in the event of my election to the board
of education. As matter of fact.
