PASADENA
PASADENA, Feb. 2.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) The coming city election is
the subject of much discussion. Many
representative citizens express them
selves in favor OF a non-partisan move
ment, founded upon business principles,
which shall have for its main object the
securing of a clean and businesslke
city government; one which will reflect
credit upon Pasadena, and take the ad-
ministration of city affairs out of the
realm of politics" and place 1t where it
belongs, in the hands of good business
men, regardless of party affiliations.
The majority of Pasadena's citizens are
not willing to have their votes for city
officers determined by their position on
the tariff question, or the money ques-
ton, or how they cast their vote in the
last national election.
