Mr.. Cobb Maligned

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Herald:
A weekly paper OF Oct. 10th has paragraph
relating to our candidate Tor supervisor OF
the Third district, Mr.. Fremont Cobb, III
which it is stated that Mr.. Cobb was IN
strumental in causing widow employed as
school teacher in the Cahuenga district to
lose ner place and relative OF Mr.. Cobb 8
to be instituted.
In that same paper, just above the para
graph relating to Mr.. Cobb, Is another re-
latlng to the Republican pominee TOR dis
trict attorney, in which the editor says:
This thing of circulating stories which
are untrue concerning candidates is not
the right thing. We do not propose to
indulge in it and whenever we hear of It's
being done we intend to correct false
statements.
We, therefore sent reply to the editor of
that paper stating that the report concerning
Mr.. Cobb was untrue. He promised 70 pub
hsh it, but did not do so.
Now, | am well acquainted with Mr..
Cobb; am member OF the school board with
him, and | wish to state emphstically that
there is not one word of truth in the state
ment made above relating to him.
There has been no widow teaching in this
district since Mr.. Cobb has been trustee,
nor has any made application.
No teacher has been turned out of her
position to make room for any one else,
nor has Mr.. Cobb relative teaching here,
nor one who desires to teach.
Mr.. Cobb has made a very efficient school
officer, and ! doubt not he will make as
efficient supervisor, and am sure he will
poll a very large vote in his own neighbor-
hood, where he is well known.

In Mr.. BarloW's Favor

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
The Republican press of Southern Califor-
MIA is making a great amount OF political
capital out OF the alleged thrift OF the Hon.
Charles A. Barlow, Democratic nominee for
congress from the Sixth district. Under the
captions Business Opportunities and
4" Frank Barlow endless columns are
printed, all, OF course, intended to defeat the
gentleman election. These same papers are
carefully silent concerning the good works
of Mr.. Barlow.
The writer hereof is and for years has
been an ardent Republican; was born one,
in fact, but he is also fair and willing to
accord credit to whom credit is due
In all this campaign not one word has been
uttered relative to Charles A. Barlow :
championing OF the Pine Mountain reserva-
tion in congress and the successful consum-
nation of the plan so gratifying to our peo-

COUNTY HOSPITAL
LACK OF MONEY WORKS GREAT
MISERY

Down in the basement OF the county
hospital are few dismal, dark little
rooms, open to the light and air only
by heavily barred window and by
slot in the door scarcely larger than
slide for mail. This is the place allot-
ted for the keeping of the insane pa
tients.
Yesterday afternoon representative
of the Express visited the place. Out
side the sun was terribly hot, yet in
side these cells, during the very hottest
day, the air was dank and damp and
cherries and tainted by a stencil SO
foul as to be almost sitting.
1t was a relief to hurry into the open
air; but, peeking wistiully through the
narrow Sits in the doors, were few
poor wretches who had to stay and en-
dure it, despite their piteous appeals
to be let out.
Yet, in comparison to the winter
months the place is quite ideal now.
During the chill of the rainy season the
unhappy prisoners are closed up in the
foul place and blankets piled on by the
sympathetic attendants as the only pos
sible means of keeping out the cold.
There is no way OF communicating fur
mace heat to a room in the basement,
and the absurdity of putting a stove in
an insane mans cell is too apparent to
be dwelt upon.
The supervisors know that new
building is needed and are anxious to
put one up, but find the law barring the
way. They cannot use any funds except
the money which is appropriated by the
annual tax levy for hospital purposes.
This last year this fund was
drained away by an assessment or
dered by the city for the grading of some
little cowpath that began nowhere in
particular and ended at the same place.
In the fall the levy will be made large
enough to insure the erection of a suit
able building. In the meanwhile the
unhappy wretches who are awaiting eX-
animation in the county hospital and
who by law cannot be detained at the
Jail, must bear the discomforts with
the best possible grace.
There are six cells, three facing each other
he three on the south are at the end OF
he ell of the building and a stove could have
cen put in there years ago and chimney

Here is what the last grand jury, of which
| | was not a member, says:
| We have recommendation to make,
| viz: Under the new law which went into
effect March 3lst, 1897, it became the
| duty of our supervisors to provide. with
in the time of sixty days, q suitable
ward or detention hospital for the con-
finement OF the insane pending their
examination, such ward or detention
hospital to meet the approval of the
state sanitary commission.
Who was the chairman of the committee
on county farm and hospital that should
have seen these improvements made? The
man who was renominated by the Repub-
lean party for supervisor of the Third dis
trict. Was it not providential that sealed
bids were opened for the construction of an
insane ward at the county hospital on the
eve of the denomination of the chairman of
that committee for supervisor? Was it not
also providentlal that five of the delegates
to that convention We're men who furnish
supplies for the construction of county
buildings? They were assisted by the men
who furnish supplies of all kinds to the
county to the sum of SSl, 100, the contractors
being either represented in person or by
clerks on the floor of the convention. Is it
fair to the people to have the men employed
by them to receive goods sold to the county
nominated by the men who sold the goods I?
1t would have been better for the unfor-
tunates of the county had Mr. Field and his
managers given to them some of the time
and thought that they gave to finding places
in the courthouse for clerks and janitors,
who, together with their friends, were
pledged to so to the convention to renomi-
nate Field. The Third ward was packed
so closely by his managers that no man was
permitted to go as delegate that they could
stop, if he was known to have served his
country. In the Twenty eighth and Twenty
ninth precincts only one passed examination,
and he was clerk in the courthouse.
In the convention the man that was to
put me in nomination stepped out a few
minutes and was surprised on returning to
find that the nomination was made. Others
were out also. Time was pleaded for, but
none could be granted. The gun was loaded
and the trigger had to be pulled at that time
No one was permitted to go near enough to
the table to see the count. The order was
stand back 1t was pushism with a ven
geance, and not Repubicanism. If you want
me to tell more, call a meeting of the Re-
publicans Il will hire a hall), and every man
that took part in the game may have front
seat, and / will explain to all the difference
between pushism and Repubicanism.
This will explain to you some of the rea-

But They Were Small Offices

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
II. T. Gage, the Republican candidate for
governor, in his speech at San Andreas, as
reported in the newspapers and doubtless
in every other place where he has made a
speech in this campaign. said: Mr.. Ma
guire has received $50, 900 in official salaries.
have never received one cent for a salaried
office"
This may be true, but it is not Mr. Cages
fault, for, in 1880, he ran as a candidate on
the Republican ticket for city justice in this
city and was defeated by d. NJ. Adams, the
Democratic nominee, by a good majority.
The salary of this Office was $4,000 per an
mum. He was shortly after appointed a
