Sans-Funeral Of E. F. Hurlbut.
Social and Personal Notes

. PASADENA, March 26.-(Off1ce of The
/ Herald. .s58 East Colorado street.) Every
day adds more weight to the impression,
aow quite general that the Non-parti-
san ticket will be an easy winner in the
coming election. The straight Republic
ans are whistling to keep their courage
up and using every little unimportant
point to fill space, both in the circum5a-
cent atmosphere and in the local papers,
in order that they may distract attention
from the alleged platform upon which
they are supposed to stand. AS, for In
stance, that the Non-partisans are not
to be allowed to use the word 'inde-
pendent" after the names Of their candi-
dates, as though this could make the
slightest difference in the result. This
is said to be one of the effects of the
supreme courts decision knocking out
the new primary law. but this Is rather
small matter in comparison with the fact
that there is some danger Of the Repup-
lican ticket being thrown out altogether.
OF course attorneys differ as to the e1-
feet Of the decision, but one good point
sticks out plainly enough. and that Is
that the new law debarred GER
tain voters from participating in the pri-
maries, who, under the old law, could
the matter are of the opinion that this
one point is sufficient to knock out the
straight Republican ticket. The matter
will probably be tested in the courts, in
order that the election may not be held
under misapprehension of the law and
then result in no election at all, as might
happen IL decision is not first secured
IN the matter, owing to the fact that both
tickets are to be printed on one ballot,
and one being illegal might knock out the
whole ballot and hence the Whole elec-
tion. Aside from any question of the law
in the matter and the effect on the two
tickets, there Is constantly growing
sentiment among the Independent voters
In favor of the Non-partisan ticket, so
that appearances Indicate it's complete
triumph in any event.
