PASADENA, March 7.-(Office OF The
Herald. IS East Colorado st) The coming
CITY election is the chief topic of conver-
sation on the street corners, and the cam
paign is waxing warm. A remark heard
with much frequency today was to the et-
feet that Mr.. Lacey, In administering a
slap in the face to his friends VINO put nun
in office two years ago is not calculated 10
improve his chances Of being elected to the
office to which he aspires. In fact. it is
quite generally considered that he is now
In the position occupied by Hahn, Melick *
Co., which might be likened to that Oh the
man who tried to ride two horses at once

Non-Partisans are gaining ground every

cey, in any event.
The most important offices to be filled
are those three city trustees Ihe game

can get one trustee they are satisfied. A
strenuous effort is being made by the
straight Republicans, as matter of
course, to show that the electric road has
no interest in this fight, but the raw at
tempt of that corporation s superintendent
at the Republican primaries spoke louder
than any words can now do to refute 1t.
The people understand and they will indi-
cate in no uncertain manner on the 11th
of April what they think OF these methous
of doing politics"
