BRIGHT PROSPECT
Indications Pointing to the Election Of
the Fusion County Ticket

The prospects for the union fusion
ticket in Los Angeles county are excel
lent. Reports received at Democratic
headquarters indicate the election of the
entire county ticket by safe majorities.
As to the fusion legislative ticket. there
is doubt in but one district That is the
Seventieth, in which the Soldiers Home
is located. This may elect Repubbli-
can, but A. r. Sprague, the fusion can
didate, is one of the ablest speakers in
the state.
AS to the judicial ticket there seems
to be but little doubt of the election of
Munday and Hazard. They are both re-
ceiving unanimous assurances daily of
support from Republicans. Messrs. Ut
ley and Smith are also running well.
James Hanley is going to be reelected
supervisor by about 1000 majarity. He
has a fight. bitter and powerful, to
meet, which he seems to be fully equal
to. The influence of the courthouse ring
is being thrown solidly against him.
In the Fourth district the election OF
Mr.. Morgan seems to be conceded. Mr..
Pessell is having a hard fight, but his
friends claim that he will win.

REV. MR.. DYE ENDORSED
There Was Nothing Improper In His
Santa Ana Speech

On the I'd inst. Rev. Geoge E. Dye of
the East Side Baptist church, by invi-
tation. addressed the Orange County
Bryan club. The Santa Ana Blade and
Orange County Herald in their reports
vey severely criticised Mr.. Dye and
charged that his language was such that
many people left the hall. The follow
ing resolutions, unanimously adopted
by the club, very effectually answer the
charge:
Whereas, The Rev George e. Dye of
East Los Angeles, Cal, did upon inVi-
tation extended to him by this club, ad-
dress its members and the citizens of
Orange county generally upon the is

Oct. 2,1S96. in an able, patriotic and con-
vincing speech, during the delivery of

The flood of ward memberships con-
tinues to flow in upon the League for
Bteter City Government. Politicians
have taken hold and they propose to
capture it in just the same way that
Christopher Buckley would proceed if
he was going to do the work.
In this instance Republican ward pol
iticians, heelers, and strikers have taken
hold of the matter and they are vigor-
ously and actively working to get all
the Republicans they can into the ward
clubs so that by the postal primary they
will be able to secure the endorsement of
the entire Republican city ticket. This
costs nothing but work. and they can
do it, for in the work of stuffing any
thing from a cold turkey to ballot box
these people are keen.
OF course some voters are joining in
good faith to help pick out the best men
and it would really be matter of re-
gret should the League be turned into
q political machine, to be used for par
tisan purposes and not to advance the
cause of good government in the munich
pality. Any instrument that could be
used for that purpose would be hailed
But the Republican ring at the city
hall does not propose to be ousted with
out hard fight and they consider that
If they can get the League for Better
City Government to indorse their candi-

They are working on well-defined
plan to accomplish their ends and aims
and they have an organized corps in the

Be it said to the honor and credit of
the founders of the league they are using
their best efforts to defeat the schemes
of the Republican city hall gang and OF
any other combine that is seeking to
control the league for partisan purposes.

THREE RESERVATIONS
Nominees for the City Council Who Are
Disqualified Resign

Two Democratic candidates for the
council are disqualified by the city char
ter from holding seats in the municipal
legislature.
John Brink, the Third ward nominee,
has already resigned. He has not lived
two years in the Third ward and there
fore cannot sit in the council under the
terms of the city charter The necessi-
ty for Mr.. Drinks withdrawal is a mat
ter of sincere regret. as the feeling is
quite general that he would have been
triumphantly elected. He is a we'll
known business man of great popular
ity, unquestioned character and sound
upon the water question.
At an early day the Democratic city
central committee will fill the vacancy.
The committe was by the convention
given express authority to perform this
work.
In the Seventh ward W. E. Keller
lacks, so 1t is claimed, twenty-three days
of the required two years residence. Mr..
kellers friends have not admitted the
truth of this statement as yet, but if it
is true it is useless for him to run, as he
could not take his seat if he is elected,
according to the best legal authority.
In the event of Mr.. Keller's withdrawal
the nomination would probably go to
James Ashman.
W. E. Hughes has resigned as the can
didate for councilman in the Fifth ward
