POLITICAL GOSSIP
CoLoRED VOTERS THOROUGHLY
AROUSED
JUDGE ALIENS DECISION
Registration for State and County
Closed October 11-East Side
Meetings

The announcement that Superior Judge
Allen had rendered decision fixing the
limit Of time for supplementary registration
ut twenty-seven days before any election,
occupied the attention of the politicians
yesterday afternoon.
1t has been contended all along, under the
decision of Judge Prewett, that supple
mentary registration closed fifteen days be-
fore any election, and under this construc-
ton Of the laW many names have sought to
be added to the supplementary register.
Under Judge Aliens decision supple
mentary registration for the state and
county election to be held on November Sth
next, closed on October llth last, and the
supplementary registration OH the city ticket
will close on November 9TH next.
Under this ruling all names placed on the
supplementary register since October 18th
will not be recognized at the polling places
on November Sth, but will be given chance
to vote at the city election.
1t is probable that SO far as Los Angeles
city and county are concerned no attempt to
contest Judge Aliens decision will be made,
but should the decision be quoted as the law
elsewhere, as will undoubtedly be the case,
the supreme court will be asked to construe
the statutes regarding registration.
DIR. HILL HOME
DR.. r. w. Hill, chairman of the Demo

''Maguire will go out of the city and county
of San Francisco with $4,000 majority" said
the doctor "Ths is not biased estimate,
but is based upon the figures given me by
Republicans Phelan, for mayor, is sure
winner. What L like about him is that he
is not selfish of his talents or his time, and is
coming to Los Angeles in the near future
to talk to the people. Frank Gould will be
horo xt,ox,1x from, Saturday 1laxrbt the
night of October 20, and Governor Budd and
Billy Foote will also come down before the
state campaign closes.
"The railroad proposes to throw whole
lot OF money into the Republican campaign
within the ten days preceding election. A
lot more, | mean, than it is already putting
up. Their plans are well laid, and tho
for Gage during the last ten days of the
fight. We will plod along as we are going,
not having an Uncle Coils sack to draw
'"An instance of how the Republicans are
spending their money" continued the doc
tor, "was their taking the two hundred
members of the Americus club and brass
band on special train from Pasadena to
wasted. In my travels have found that
the voters want facts, not noise, and l
honestly believe that all this extra hurrah
and hubbub they have arranged for Gage
will amount to nothing"
HAWKINS NOMINATION
The size of the meeting held at the wig
wan on Wednesday night by the colored
Lincoln Republicans, who have joined the
union party, was source of disquiet to the
S. P.-Gage- Hanna Republicans of this city,
and is still causing trouble. The meeting
was requested by the colored voters of the
city, and they had full control of it. The
Republicans started a counter meeting at
Panorama hall, and captured S. w. Haw-
kins, the colored man nominated on the
union ticket for the board of education by
the Silver Republicans, If all reports are
true, the Republicans had better have let
Hawkins alone. He made speech at the
Panorama meeting, and walked away with
the -colored voters present. Hawkins and
the colored voters seem to appreciate the
with which their race has been
treated by the union party, both in giving
the colored men place on the ticket and in
looking after the interest OF this class OF
citizens otherwise, notably in the resolution
adopted by the Democrats pledging their
city nominees to make room for the colored
men in the fire department by creating a
in the Seventh ward to be COM
posed Of men of that race.
AFTER THE PREACHER
The colored men were angry yesterday
over what they alleged was an attempt TO-
