CONVENTION AFTERMATH
The Redlands Ticket Admitted to Be
Inflrm-Many Disgruntled

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 4.-The
push and the pushed" returned last
night from their little political pilgrimage
to Redlands the former full of enthusiasm
and the Joy that comes from success of
well-laid plans, and the latter full of drug
store prescriptions. The former were HI
lariously happy and the latter righteously
wrathy When one of the defeated and
his friend, "the jedge." met delegate up
dark alley they were about to chastise
him for his desertion, but friends sailed in
on them and blows from the mouth and
not on it were all that were exchanged.
The first fight of the convention was on
the assemblyman, and when the push car
ried that there was a scudding to cover of
all candidates but those of the push. They
scented danger, and with such head to
the ticket they considered that election
expenses" would be money thrown away.
and the rest of the ticket went in on the
acclaim order, resulting in the selection of
six candidates from San Bernardino, two
from Redlands and one each from High
land, Cotton, ontario, Chino and Etiwanda.
Redlands was content to furnish school
superintendent and clerk. Even its best
friends concede the icket has many very
weak points.
