candidates, with especial emphasis on the
abilities of Henry de Garmo and j. Ii. Dock
weller.
G. C. Wright was introduced and said he
fully realized the gravity of the present ques-
tion as to who would be the coming public
officers, and that they should be both capa-
BILE and trustworthy, or in other words, able
and honest. AT the present time it wasnec-
essary not to cripple the industries of this
growing city in mercantile and manGfactur-
ing lines These interests are the greatest
in the city and depend primarily on cheap
fuel, which can only be procured from oil
wells. Mr.. Wright said that it had seen
claimed that he was against this important
industry, because he had proposed the 1900
foot limit. This he had done as an attor-
ney, while his personal feelings were toward
the encouragement of the industry. Great
questions were to come before the courts in
which the city was directly interested and
which would concern the people Of Los
Angeles to the value of nearly seven mil
lion dollars. Hence, it was necessary to
elect a man Of experience, and since these
questions were business ones, to settle them
by business methods. This could only be
done by voting in business way for business
like officials
One faithful supporter of Mayor Snyder's
will be glad when the election is over, and
he is old Jack, the mayors driving horse
Thursday night about II o'clock he was seen
pegging up Broadway. He was slightly
dropping but courageousiy keeping at it.
Once in two years is enough for Jack, and
if the mayor wins he should put Jack onthe
pension list and retire him to some good
pasture for repairs to his nervous system.
Precinct men in the Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth wards report the outlook as fine for
the Democratic ticket. Those wards will
roll up more than the usual majority, not
withstanding reports to the contrary. The
councilmen and nominees for board of edu-
cation will win. That leaves the Second,
Fourth, First and Ninth to get two council
men out Of 1t will be done and the city
will have council and board OF education
in sympathy with the mayor.
The Independent candidate in the Eighth
ward is making a malicious attack On Bob
Todd that is entirely uncalled for. Bob is
making fair, manly fight and has thrown
no mud, but, on the contrary, has said that
his opponent is good man. Bob has no
apologies to make for his candidacy and is
willing to let the matter rest with the peo-
pie on election day.
I. e. Gibbon will speak twice tonight for
the Democratic ticket He has been out of
town or he would have taken hand in it
before this.
Particular attention must be shown on
election day to the matter Of voting. More
ballots are thrown out in the silk-stocking
wards than in the others. For some un-
known reason people in the wards known as
the best society" make mistakes in voting
that cause their ballots to be thrown out
The stamps must be used and not pencil.
BE careful to fold your ballot properly and
follow instructions. For the convenience of
voters of the city the following has been
compiled: Ii you want to vote right and for
the people vote the following numbers: g. 5,

and Al; Ninth ward, add 80 and AZ Put
the stamp opposite the above numbers and
you will make no mistake.
1t is about time for trades to be talked
about. The Republicans will say that the
Democrats are trading the mayor, street
superintendent, and vice versa. Such re-
ports gain some credence until they are in
vestigated, when they usually are found to
be without foundation.
Some new bets were posted yesterday at
the poolroom on Spring street: $50 even on
Hance; 81 to $40 on Dockweiler; $50 to SIS
on Hartwell; $40 to $6 on Keller; $50 even
that Eaton does not carry the city by 1900.

Rogers Neither one put up forfeit. Both
