Herald, 16 West Colorado street. Tele-
phone. red 615) 1t is very amusing "a
watch the labored efforts of the local pa
pers TO convince the public that the col
ored vote of Pasadena has not gone COM
pletely over TO Mcguire Listen TO the
twinkle of the Evening Star:
The Herald says that estimates give
Mcguire all the way from 20 per cent
to IS per cent of the colored vote in Pas-
adena." Yes; but these estimates were
made by the Mcguire men. You just
ought TO hear some OF the Gage esti-
mates; also some of the estimates of the
colored men themselves. There is diff
ference In the morning.
Another frantic effort was made tonight
by the few coiored men In Pasadena who
still support Gage and the Republican tick
ct, to organize a colored Republican cluo.
Notices were published in the local papers,
of which the following from the News Is a
sample:
There will be organized tonight
Republican club composed of colored
men. 1t is expected that there will be
such an attenance as to d!scredit the
Herald and Examiner statements that
the colored men have all lost their heads
and gone over 10 Mcguire. The un-
lucky thirteen of Troop D will be off,
set in the steadfast adherence of these
men.
AS a matter OF fact. "the unlucky thir-
teen of Troop d" never had any existence
except in the fertile Imagination of some
over-zealous Republican partisar the only
foundation for the statement being that
fourteen colored men in the uniform Of
Troop ID boarded one of the cars bound
for Los Angeles the other night, while
quite a number more went down on an
other car TO take part in the same demon

all the advertising and support of both the
local papers. and after skirmishing around
in search Of recruits and then waiting un-
til o'clock, there were just nine colored
men gathered in the recorders court room,
looking as forsaken rs though they had
Just buried their last friend. Reporters
were excluded from the august assemble ge,
being especially requested 20 withdraw, but
It is safe to say that the fate of the ma

wrapped oranges were shipped and sold
