FIRM IN
SADDLE AGAIN
Y0UNGW0RTH ELEMENT IS
BROUGHT TO TERMS
Fllnt's Announcement Changes Aspect
Of Thines--seceders Whipped
Into Republican
Ranks

Among Ine interesting TunOTS Una
, came floating out of Republican head
quarters yesterday was one to the eff
! feet that the split in the Republican
machine was being patched up, and
4 that as a result Walter Parkers rule
Is again likely to be supreme.
The basis for this theory was the
news that in several of the precincts
in which a fight had been expected
there would be only one primary ticket
in the field, and It was regarded as
highly significant that in nearly every
case the delegates agreed upon are
known as Parker men.
i Whether Senator Flint'o announces
ment that he would take no part what
ever in the present campaign had any
thing to do with bringing the Young
worth element in the organization to
terms is not known, but it is an interest
| ing coincidence that the news of
Parker's victory comes Immediately af-
ter that announcement is made.
| 1t Is said that the seceders from the
Organization" are rapidly being
brought into line, and that harmony of
the Parker brand may soon be ex-
pected to prevail once more.
Australian Ballot
There is still considerable talk in
Republican circles regarding the adop-
ton of the Australian ballot system
at the Venice convention, but unless
somebody can be found who will as
sumo the necessary authority to order
the ballots prepared, 1t is not likely
that this system will prevail at the
convention.
Walter Leeds, secretary of the Re-
publican county committee says he
does not propose to order the ballots
printed without authority from the
convention itself, and by that time 1t
will be too late to have the work done.
The same state of affairs exists with
respect to the voting machines.
The delegates are the ones to decide
whether they wish to adopt the Aus
tralian system of voting and to use
machines, and until these delegates
assemble 1t will of course be impossible
to gain the necessary authority This
probably means, therefore, that the
convention will vote for candidates
in the good old laborious and time
consuming way, but there does not
seem to be any help for it.
ogle for Sheriff
Still another candidate for the Of
flee of sheriff has made his appearance.
The latest man to announce his can
didacy is George w. Ogle of Pomona,
and he states he is in the field as an
independent. His petitions OF nomina
parts of the county, and he says that
in few days he expects to be full
hedged candidate.
Mr.. Ogles campaign cards announce
that he wishes to be nominated by the
people in the interest of good govern
ment, clean politics, and the strict
and impartial enforcement OF the law.
His platform is rigid adherence to duty
and good faith with the people.
Mr.. Ogle declares that he is free
from the domination of any party,
machine, ring, clique or boss, and that
If elected the financial transactions of
the sheriff shall always be open to the
board of supervisors and the public.
The Thirty-sixth
The fight in the Thirty-sixth sena-
torial district is beginning to attract
considerable attention.
Three candidates for the state SEN
ate are in the field in that district
Ben w. Hahn, the incumbent, Elmer
1. Moody and DR.. Henry Sherry.
Hahn is the machine candidate, and
in some quarters the impression pre-
walls that Moody also has been brought
out by the machine with view to at
tracting some Of the following that
otherwise would go to Sherry and of
throwing his strength to Hahn in the
convention. Sherry's friends, however,
say they take no stock in this theory,
and that they are convinced that If
Moody throws his strength to anybody
it will be to their candidate.
1t is claimed that Moody and Sherry
will pull together as against Hahn,
and that each one is prepared to help
out the other. Sherry is a resident of
South Pasadena, and at the caucus
held in that city Wednesday night a
delegation favorable to his candidacy
was nominated. The delegation con-
sists OF Leo Longley, r. w. Pridham,
Merton Keith, E. III. Rust and John
Shenk. q
Graham Gets Setback
AL Graham's candidacy for nomina-
ton as supervisor from the Third dis
trict suffered a severe setback at the
caucuses held in the county precincts
Wednesday night. S. T. Eldridge, the
machine candidate, also was defeated.
The caucuses throughout the Cahu-
enga district came out strongly in favor
of delegates pledged to the support OF
DR.. w. A. Lamb.
There were lively fights at Holly
wood, East Hollywood and Colegrove,
but in each of these the Lamb forces
were victorious. Both Graham and Ell
bridge lost all along the line, the vote
against them being about two to one.
A particularly hard fight Is being
made against Graham in that part of
the district. A Sherman Republican
who was in Los Angeles a few days
ago predicted that Graham would stand
no show at the primaries, as the senti-
ment in the country was strongly
against him.
IF anybody is looking for trouble"
he said, "he can get all he wants of it
merely by going out into the country
end of the Third district and declar-
ing himself in favor OF AL Graham. He
