N0N-PARTISAN MOVE

NJ. Lissner, secretary of the nom
partisan committee, last night made
the following statement:
The non-partisan executive commit
tee needs money for the legitimate ex-
penses of the campaign and invites all
citizens who are interested in the sue
cess of the movement to send a check

contribute to the cause. to J. C, Kays.

1t is well understood that the 1artv
campaign committees rely largely upon
two sources for the money with which
10 meet campaign expenses. One Of
these is assessment upon the candi-
date. and the other, contributions from
public service corporations, or capital
lists who are affiliated with them. The
hoh-partlsan committee set new mark
at the outset of this work by declaring.
first, that it would not accent anv
money from any candidate upon its
ticket; second that it would not ac-
| cept any contributions from public
utility corporations, or individuals con-
nected with them,. thus cutting off. at
the beginning, the two chief sources

10 this date all expenses have been

with which the remainder of the cam

Meetings. will be held every night
until the election, December 4. The
organization, which has been formed
to promote the interests of Mr.. Van

more so every day. Letters and tele-
phone calls are being received from
people who want to support him with

willing to work for the cause, as they

councilman who will truly look after
their interests.

that I am free to, and should, support
Mr.. Hewitt.

A. C. HARPER STATES
HIS POSITION ON THE
SALOON QUESTION

A. c. Harper, democratic candidate
for mayor, has written the following
letter defining his position upon the
retail liquor traffic. The letter follows:
"By a large majority the people of
Los Angeles recently decided that they
were in favor of continuing the retail
liquor traffic. 1t is my opinion that
the will of the people should always
be respected, whether voiced by direct
vote of the people or by legislative
act of their representatives. The city
of Los Angeles has laws regulating
the liquor traffic and it will be my pur-
pose and determination to see that
these laws, as well as all other laws
and ordinances, shall be strictly and
impartially enforced. I will harass no
man with whom disagree, neither will
I oppose any business that does not
meet my approval, unless such oposi-
tion comes strictly within the enforce
ment of city ordinances. I propose to
stand on the broad platform of a
square deal to all citizens, whether
they be rich or poor, high or low, weak
or powerful. A. c. HARPER"

ward, spoke before two enthusiastic
audiences Wednesday night.
The first meeting took place at 61S

Der of citizens gathered to hear what
Mr.. Van Degrift had to say regarding
the interests of the Second ward. The
candidate stated that he stood for the
non-partisan principle in municipal af-
fairs, and that he would, If elected,
treat the office and the work connected
with it from a purely business stand
point; he would endeaYor. to the best
of his ability, to secure lights, cross
walks and numerous other improve
ments which the people of the Second
ward have been demanding and which
they have been unable to secure. Mr..
Van Degrift made a plain, business
like statement, which appealed to his
hearers.
The second meeting took place at the
monthly meeting OF the Northwest Im-
provement association, held at ivan
hoe. This association, which is COM
posed OF the citizens of that district.

and the result Is that they are having
great success In the development OF
their particular territory.
n. T. Dennis, president of the as
sociation, introduced Mr.. Van Degrift,
who spoke on the subject Of improve
ments and square deal for every
body. His statement that he was for

times aroused enthusiasm, and il was
very evident that these people have

We have been to Lieutenant Jones
several times, and two of the girls have
called on Anne. You will remember
that l told Anne before she came that
some old married man here was going
to beat me to the station to greet her.
1t was Mr.. Jones, and he has been sore
ever since because stole march on
him by going down to Alexandria to
meet her. When any old married man
beats me, he will have to get up some
time before breakfast.
AS predicted Anne is having some
trouble catching onto the language OF
the Washingtonians and Southerncrs,
but tell her that they have just as
much difficulty understanding some of
her expressions. A southern lady
boarding with us says, mo, indeedy"
with an infection that would captivate
Jess right away and cause her to go
around all day saying mo indeedy" at
every opportunity. Mrs. lsham uses
the expression "updump'', but as Anne
says that is an old friend of hers l sup
pose it is not indigenous to Washington
soil. We westerners are criticized for
the way we roll out our "r's," but so far
as that goes think we have rather the
best of it. While we never miss a
chance to pronounce the "r" good and
hard, we couldn't make "lawer" out of
claw, "mar" out Of ina" or "pillar' out
of "pillow" if we tried for a week; Meth
er would we say "Lawd" for "Lord' nor
"Haavey" for Harvey. Strange to say
when we have stewed squash for dinner,
we don't have stewed squash for dinner.
