"At meeting of the executive com

GLARING ATTEMPT MADE
TOLEAD VOTERS BY NOSE
TO THE BALLOT BOX

Sample ballots" have been mailed to
members of the Liberal alliance and the
German-American alliance.
These ballots are termed instructions
to voters" and in effect the recipients
are told not to have a mind of their
own, but instead to blindly follow the
dictates of a few of their leaders and
permit themselves to be voted like so
many cattle.
Only two tiokets-the Republican and
Democratic-are presented for the con-
sideration of the members of these two
alliances, and the Instructions virtually
say that the members must not look
upon any other tickets. A cross is
placed after the name of every man
indorsed by the alliance leaders, and
the voter, whose intelligence apparently
is not considered by the alliance Off
cials, is told to take this marked ballot
into the booth with him and mark the
official ballot exactly as the crosses APP
pear on the sample ballot"
The ballot is marked for Harper and
then jumps to the Republican column
for tie several other officers, While
there IS a mixture of candidates for
councilmen.
No crosses appear after the names of
candidates for the school board eli

A. S. VAN DEGRlFT
Is FAVORED BY
SECOND WARDERS

-Four precincts of Mr.. Van Degrifts
ward made requests for him to be at
meetings called for his support Friday
night.
Mr.. Van Degrift, although suffering
from an attack of grippe, attended two
of the meetings and was received with
much applause, After the meetings
many offered their services, autos and
vehicles on election day. Mr. Van De-
grift stands for cleaning up and beauti-
flying his ward, and making it the most
beautiful residence district of the entire
city.
The people of the Second ward want
an honest, clean, conscientious business
man to represent them; one who Is not
bound hand and foot by corporations
and combines They feel that Mr.. Van
Degrift is the man. and that he will be
elected next Tuesday by good ma
jority.
The following letter, signed by "a
Second Warder," has been received by
The Herald:
LAS a resident of the Second ward, l
would like to be permitted to add a few
words to what has already been stated
In your paper In regard to- the wants
and needs of this ward. 1t is one OF the
most beautiful spots In this city, having
the beautiful hills from which magnih-
cent views of mountain and sea are OBJ
tained. With all the natural attract
iYeness of our beautiful section of The
city It has not advanced as rapidly as
other parts, and this is due TO the fact
OF a lack of proper representation In

DR.. LINDLEY FAILS
TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
OF THE VOTERS LEAGUE

On November 90 the Voters league
sent to the candidates for mayor .on
the different tickets a letter asking
them to answer four questions regard
ing their attitude on the owens river
project and the municipal control of
electric power to be derived therefrom.
Answers We're received from Lee C.
Gates, candidate for mayor on the
non-partisan ticket, and the other
nominees except Stanley B. Wilson,
candidate for mayor on the public
ownership ticket.
November 2S the Voters league sent
the following letter to those who had
answered the former letter:
Your prompt reply to our letter of
recent date is greatly appreciated. In
the matter of the owens river pro-
ject you have shown that you place
above all other considerations the city's
best interests. You have responded
with the utmost frankness to our in
quiries and we now take the liberty of
asking you one more question.
"Will you, if elected mayor of Los
Angeles, make it a condition for APP
pointment by you to the board of pub
lie works and water commission and
any and all positions having a direct
connection with the owens river pro-
ject, which it may be your duty to
FILL that all said appointees answer in
the affirmative the questions which
you, yourself have so patrlotically
responded to?'
CThe questions asked in the first let
ter sent are as follows: First-Do you
favor the development of electric
power in connection with the owens
river project, provided it can be shown
that such development will be a good
financial investment? Second-Are
you i'm favor of developing the utmost
amount of power practicable as good
business enterprise? Third-Are you
in favor Of the city's control of said
power for the purpose Of lighting the
city's parks, streets and public build
ings and of supplying power to the
city's buildings or for other purposes
for which the city may need it, pro-
vided it can be shown to be a paying
investment? Fourth-Are you In favor
power for private purposes, without the
Intervention Of private companies? In
other words, are you in favor Of imme-
diate ownership and control of all
power that may be developed from the
owens river plan, provided il can be
shown by competent experts that inn
mediate ownership can be undertaken
by the city with profit to itself and to
the peopleO
Lee c. Gates answered the letter of
November 2S in the affirmative, Wiley

affirmative No answer to the letter

councilman who takes a direct interest
in the welfare of the ward and urges
Improvements, it is natural that the
citizens, as a whole, will not have the
desire to improve their properties
Undoubtedly the most disastrous
thing which has occurred to mar the
beauty and hold back the Second ward
has been the oil business, but FORUM
ately at this time a great majority OF
these wells have been pumped out and
nothing remains but the unused oil
derricks. If these derricks were re-
moved il would be the greatest help,
and the owners of properly would then
be only too glad to improve the streets
and build on their holdings. There is
a well framed city ordinance prohibit
ing the standing of unused oil derricks
but why is this ordinance not enforced?
Evidently our present councilman has
not the interest in the ward that tie
should have, and the question is: What
are you going to do about it?'
'E. A. Clampitt, the Republican can
didate for councilman, Is an operator
and owner of oil wells in the Second
ward. Now, let me state at this point
that ! have no personal interest in the
success of any of the candidates, but
looking at it purely from a business
proposition, | would ask why can any
oil business cast his vote for Mr.. Clam
pitt at the coming election? Is there
any possible reason for placing Mr.
Clampltt. in the council, except to help
along his own private affairs, viz. the
oil business? There is, however, an op-
portunity to change the condition OF
affairs. This chance is to be found in
the non-partisan candidate, A. S. Van
Degrift. Now while l personally do not
know Mr.. Van Degrift very well, 1 am
informed by his neighbors and a large
number of people in the Second ward
that he is an honest and straightfor-
ward man. He is not a politician, but a
business man, and that is what we citi-
zens of the Second ward must have.
Further l am informed that Mr.. Van
Degrift has no corporation alliances. as
his business is such that he could have
no possible reason for tying up to
them.
Nov, my friends and neighbors, if
you really want to see the Second ward
improve, then cast your vote for MIR.

the facts, and absolutely convinced
itself that the charges were malicious
and untrue. The non-partiSan eXecu-
tive committee has agreed and renews
its agreement to withdraw support from
any candidate against whom satisfac-
tory proof is brought of the truth of
such charges as those referred to- but
it is ridiculous to ask that it withdraw
support on the basis of mere assertion
with no proof offered whatever, and
not signed in such manner that the pcr-
sons making it can be prosecuted for
criminal libel Appended are affidavits
of Mr.. Collins and of former Chief OF
Police Auble:

NJ T. Collins, being first duly sworn
deposes and says:
That, whereas, certain persons in the
| Ninth ward of the city of Los Angeles
| for the evident purpose of injuring tht
candidacy of affiant for the position oi
councilman from the Ninth ward, are
circulating defamatory stories to Iht
effect that affiant rents or leases certaI-
property belonging to him in the Eighth
ward of said city, and that said prem
| ises are used for immoral purposes.
Now, therefore, this affiant under
oath says; That no property owned OF
controlled by him in said ward or any
ward of the city Of Los Angeles, is used
for any such purpose. And he further
| asserts that any and all property owned
and controlled by him in whatsoever
locality is used for legitimate and moral
purposes. M. T.. COLLINS.

WORDS OF PRAISE
ARE MANY FOR
LESLIE R. HEWITT

In al interview yesterday James A.
Anderson, president of the board of
public works, said:
"In my relations with Mr.. Hewitt
since my appointment to the board
of public works 1 have found him all
ways unswerving in his devotion to
the citys interest. He is qualified to
high degree for the important posi-
ton of city attorney, an office calling
co~ grear ability and years of eX-
rerience =. the special work. The Of
flee is in many ways the most i'm
Portant in the city government, for
upon the advice of the city attorney
the myriad affairs of the city are to
be conducted and millions of dollars
to be expended each year, and upon
him rests the responsibility of protect
ing the city's interests and of enforcing
the laws. All this can safely be en-
trusted to Mr. Hewitt"
Favorable replies to the letter in
dorsing Mr.. Hewitt by the Municipal
league for city attorney continue to
be received. Among them, in addition
to those already published, are the
following:
1 think we'll of Mr.. Hewitt and shall
vote for him.-John e. Platter.
1 am strongly in favor of Mr.. Hewitt
for the office of city attorney.-Robert
Mitchell.
Mr.. Hewitt suits NEE. w. Britt.
If there is one feature more than
another in this campaign where es-
pecial fitness should be given every
preference over political faith it is in
the relation that the city attorneys
office bears to the owens river pro-
ject. Mr.. Hewitt's experience in that
office and familiarity with that project
make him not only the logical, but the
almost necessary gentleman for the
position and it seems to me that the
voters who have the city's interests
most sincerely at heart will cast their
ballots for him.-H. j. Benedict.
When a man is as capable, honest and
industrious as Mr.. Hewitt is he should
be kept in office.-H. c. Wilmer.
For city attorney Leslie r. Hewitt
Is certainly my choice. He has been
tried and is thoroughly qualified for
the position. He will be elected.-John
II. Norton.
/ have known Mr.. Hewitt for many
years as a straight honest and able
man. l believe him to be the right
man for the office Of city attorney
S. Benioff.
The resolution by the executive COM
mittee of the 18th fully expresses my
sentiments in regard to the city at
torney for Los Angeles.-O Il. john
son.
Istronsly favor Mr., Hewitt.-Eugene
Overton.
l.. Il. Hewitt for city attorney? Of
course. / think everybody win say
so on election day.-F. 4. Bicknell.
In answer to your postal would say
/ think Leslie r. Hewitt the right man
for city attorney and will not only
vote for him, but use all the influence
| possess toward his election.-J. ID.
Nash.
Mr.. Hewitt is, emphatically my pref
erenee for city attorney. With fine
natural ability Of his own he has new
ertheless been disciplined for many
years under the excellent judicial mind
of the best city attorney we can ever
hope to have and his knowledge of the
routine OF city affairs is of inestimable
Value.-Warren Wilson.

luton passed by your honorable body

Certain recent developments in the
present city campaign led the nom

personal against Walter Parker, but in
this he was like Jerry Simpson and the
bedbug. Simpson admired a bedbug
as a bug, but he denounced the busi-
ness in which the bug engaged.
Mr.. Gates said he had no trouble in
securing the nomination for mayor, as
it came to him voluntarily, but he said
that no man ever had so much trouble
in keeping it as he had.
He alluded to the nomination by the
Republicans of a bartender for coun-
Gilman TO make laws for the city and
guard the city's interests. He said it
was a disgrace to the party which was
guilty of such an act, and that it was
shame for the head of the ticket to
say that he was proud to stand upon
the same ticket with such a man.
Throughout his speech Mr.. Gates was
interrupted by applause which at times
amounted to demonstrations almost
eq'lal to that which prevailed when Mr..
Gates first appeared, and the close was
marked by another outburst of cheer
ling, followed by three cheers.
