| lHlS leaves tue IIldtteI
| between James and Morton.
In this district the candidate the
Fourth ward indorses is going to be the
winner. A meeting of the Fourth ward
reform" delegates was held yesterday.
The meeting was not a success so far
as results are concerned, for on the as
sembly matter the delegates were all
divided and split.
l.. H. Valentine was objected to for the
| reason that he was indorsed by Judge
| Charles Silent, and this fact made him
distasteful to some. w. r. Bacon was
for Johnny Morton, while F. o. Wyman,
| Mr.. Weidemyer ard others announced
i themselves as unalterably opposed to
John. Mr. James may be able to get the
full delegation from this ward, and if
he does he will be nominated.
FIVE CANDIDATES
! In Mr.. Bulla's old district there Is a
lively scrap going on, and the whole
| thing is all balled up. There are five
| candidates. and every one insists that
he is the only man who can win out
the district.
| There is w. M. Garland, Mr.. Krim-
minger, Col. r. B. Treat, Hub Morrill,
| and Captain John Cross. The latter has
entered the arena rather late. with a
| view of carrying off the nomination as
a compromise candidate. To Judge from
| the condition things are in, compro-
mise candidate will be the nominee.
THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS
d. B. Kenyon of Long Beach is to be
nominated from his district.
H. o. Huber, who represented the
Azusa district in the last legislature,
has the cards put up to secure his NOM
| ination.
In the Santa Monica and Pasadena
| district r. g. Weyse wants another
term, but H. Fl. Rose of Pasadena would
like to go. He has considerable fol-
| lowing, but 1t Is altogether probable
that Weyse will carry off the prize.
THE SUPERVISORS
| In the Third supervisoral district Mr.
Wirsching is going to be nominated.
Deputy Sheriff White is still in the
| fight, but will probably withdraw this
morning.
| In the Fourth, which is the country
district, there is whole raft of can
didates, and it is impossible to tell who
will be named. Ex-Supervisor Davis
wants It, Present Supervisor Hay wants
another term. Charles Baldwin and Mr.
Crum are among the throns who would
like to get in, but the great question is
who will get there. There is only one
| place to fill and there are several ayoW-
ed candidates for it.
In the Fifth supervisoral district there
Is no apparent doubt about the result
1t looks as though E. E. Johnson would
| ii
| Stearns and L. H. Buchanan are con-
testing the point.
THE CITY JUSTICES.
The convention will nominate two can.
uloates Tor city Justice, although there
| is some question as to whether or not
there Is vacancy in these two posi-
tions as they may be included in the
TOUR year term clause of the county
| government act.
| however, to be on the safe side, the
| convention will nominate two candi-
dates. Judge Owens, it is claimed. will
pe named by acclamation. Judge Nor
rlson will also probably be the second
nominee, although George Reeds would
ike to have this place. The other can
didates for city Justice have withdrawn
II IS needless to state that Robert N
| Buiia Will be nominated in the conven-
| t1on by acclamation for state senator
| He seems to be the strongest man in
Los Angeles county in Republican poli
TICS. for he has defied all combinations
ana secures his nomination independent
| of them all.
CONTESTED SEATS.
VI course, after the convention is Or
ganlzed this morning, the next fight that
VIII come up will be over the report of
the committee on credentials, or rather
over the appointment of this commit
! tee
| The seat of Charles F. Webber. of the
nrm OF Otis, Webber & Co., dealers in
politics and faro banks is contested
ana MI Webber may be thrown out of
the convention, as far as a seat as a
delegate is concerned, with great vio-
!ence. He is large man, though. and
II this Is done then there will be a roar.
Ihere was also some talk of contest
| ing the seat of Colonel Tommy Smith
in LII
| done, as 1t was decided that it was too
| small a matter to bother with.
Ihere Will be contest in the Twenty
| fourth precinct of the Third ward. In
this precinct the caucus ticket was
elected as follows: d. G. Stephens.
| George A. Allen, William Burgoyne, A.
r. Bagley and w. Fl. Cook. Those on
the anti-caucus ticket claim the box was
| stuffed and that they were defeated by
crooked work. This ticket was as fol-
lows: H. H. Appel, H. ]. Stevens, f. A.
Henzeman, S. A. Carlisle and Col. U,
| Forrest.
| Sam Adams wants to be sergeant at
arms of the convention in addition to
sitting as delegate. John b. Love is
also a candidate, and the probability
Is that they will both be named for that
important office.
| THE IMPORTED TALENT.
Inc IlmeS yesterday morning pub
lished the latest political informa ton,
| stating that six candidates for superior
judge We're to be nominated. 1t said that
five candidates had been selected and
that one place had been left vacant.
! Anybody acquainted with the local sit
uation would have known that there
are only four places on the superior
bench to be filled this year. But the
Times has metropolitan talent on its
staff and affairs in the country are of
such minor importance that they con-
slider it Unnecessary to keep up with af-
fairs in rural districts like Los Angeles.
