Much bitterness developed yesterday
in the Republican-non-pa partisan mayor
atty contest.
Up to this point the fight has been
a good natured but intense one between
sNDr. Walter Lindley and his friends and
Lee c.. Gates and his adherents
Strongly wvrded letters to delegates
by DIR. Lindley and Mr. Gates, solicit
ing support in convention, evidently
caused no i'll feeling, but the circula-
tion of petitions asking DIR. Lindley to
withdraw from the contest in favor of
Mr.. Gates acted as a firebrand which
set off large quantity of fireworks in
the Lindley camp.
DR.. Lindley and his friends denounced
the action of the circulators of the petit
ton, who are said to be close friends
of Mr.. Gates, and the net result is that
DR.. Lindley. is more determined than
ever to continue in the contest for the
nomination.
The affair apparently settles the ques-
tion as to Mr.. Gates Endorsement in
the negative, as DR.. Lindley's friends
now say that rather than see Mr.. Gates
receive the Endorsement they would, IN
event that Dr. Lindley would be in
danger OF losing the nomination, go to
any other man.
In to Stay, Says LindIey
When Dr. Lindley was asked yester-
day If he had heard of the petitions
asking him to withdraw he admitted
he Lad, and added:
II can pay no attention to such re-
quest. l am in the fight to stay and
will win"
Maj. Truman Cole, manager of DIR
Lindley's campaign, was exceedingly
angry, and he made no attempt to con
ceal his feelings He said:
1T Is a political outrage. How Mr.
Gates can permit his friends to tak'
such step in his behalf is more thar
4 ] can fathom. 1t Is only a few day:
since Mr.. Gates issued a campaign let
4 ter. IN which he declared his allegianc,
TO the Republican party and vowed tina
he would take second place to none a.
a Republican. Now he, through hi.
friends, has the nerve to ask DR.. Lind
ley to step aside In his behalf, in spit,
Of the fact that DR.. Lindley has pledged
to his support practically all the dele
gates to the nominating convention
DR.. Lindley is in the campaign to stay
until the votes are counted December
4. and he will be the next mayor of Lo.
Angeles"
Machine Men Merely Smile
Considerable quiet satisfaction was
noticeable among machine men yester.
oay as q result of the acrimony engen.
dered between the leaders in the two
camps hostile to Boss Parker

the view taken by the machine men
Endorsement of the non-prtisan nom.
inee for mayor is the only thing that
has been feared by the organization.
AS previously pointed out, the ma.
chine men are not only willing but
anxious that DR.. Lindley now receive
the nomination. In that event theN

Uncle George" Smith must be re.
venged for being euchred out OF the
nomination by DR.. Lindley while MIR

The situation as TO other nomina.
tions remains practically the same. and
