above all, his ability to do things well

Of a catastrophe from heaven that can
prevent his election to the mayoralty.
His two leading opponents are menu
bers of the same political party. Not
only are hundreds of Republicans
openly supporting Mr.. Harper's candi-

because of their allegiance to party

Is impossible for either of the opposi-

distance of victory.
You, citizens. who are as yet unde-

If you have any doubts or fears as to
the result of the election-fears which
in all candor and truth the Democratic
central committee in nowise entertalns
if you are anxious lest the city gov

member that because there are two
Republican candidates and only one
Democrat, the vote of the former will
be split in twain; the vote of the latter
Is united and therefore decidedly the

MORE ODORAR|SES
FROM THE OUTFALL
CONTRACTOR THREATENS TO
CAUSE TROUBLE
Bidder Who Is Suspected by Some Of
Representing Stansbury G. Powell
Declares That He Has
Been Jobbed

The board of public works will be
confronted this morning by Col j. Fox,
Il contractor.
Colonel Fox is evidently under the
jobbed out of the contract for the con-
structon of the wet or tunnel section
of the outfall sewer. To convince the
board of his claim the colonel says
he will appear with documentary and
other evidence.
All bids for the work were rejected
by the board and the city council en-
powered IL to hire men and proceed
with the construction of the wet sec
ton. The board of public works is
of the opinion that it can construct
the tunnel section more cheaply and
in a more satisfactory manner than
would be the case If the contract were
awarded to contractor.
Colonel Fox is evide ntly under the
impression that if the board advertises
for bids it is bound to accept one of
the bids whether it is approved or not.
This is in reality not the case. The
board has the power, which is fire.
Quently exercised to reject any or all
bids as it sees fit.
A persistent rumor that Colonel Fox
was the representative of Stansbury
e. Powell, contractors, was heard in
the city hall. Stansbury & Powell had
the contract for the construction of
the entire outfall sewer, but they threw
it up and declined to proceed with the
work.
Belief is expressed at the city hall
that they now desire to have another
try at the sewer 1t is thought that
Colonel Fox's interview with the board
of public works will have but little
result, as the board is resolved to con-
struct the sewer itself and, as mat
ter of fact, the sewer is now actually
under course of construction under the

A. G. HARPER FOR MAYOR
Under the Auspices Of Democratic City Central Committee

owing to the silence of the press of

Up to this time we have refrained

press were to be turned upon him; yet,
IN spite of the fact that his name has

TONED on the streets, among business

people and citizens generally, not one
word of censure, distrust or dsappro-

The truth of the matter Is this That

Harper's residence in Los Angeles
during which time his life has been an
open book-as a student, clerk, a
merchant, fnancier, a member of the
various civic organizations, and promi-

MORGAN PAYS FORTUNE
FOR ANTIQUE VESSELS

NEW YORK, July 16-There is a
good deal Of discussion in art and anti
quarian circles as 10 whether J. Pier
pont Morgan has secured the greatest
OF all art treasures. or in the vernacu-
lar has been handed the most gigantic
le'TOn" on record.
Mr. Morgan has paid a fortune for
what he has been assured are the gold
and silver ecclesiastical vessels of the
early Christian church, and were
buried in the isle of Cyprus in the sew
enth century. How long they had
been in existence before they were
buried can only be guessed, but it is
known that Christianity drove out
paganism from the isle very early in
the beginning of the era. so that-on
the assumption that these vessels are
authentic-the date of their making
would run back 1.SO0 years O. more.
The story OF the dealers is that these
sacred vessels were buried when the
Moslems invaded Cyprus, and the facts
Of their discovery do not seem to be
exactly understood.
