LEE C. GATES DENIES
HE PREFERS MCCARTNEY
TO GIFFEN AS SENATOR

For some time past H. S. G.. McCart-
ney, machine nominee for the senate
from the Thirty-eighth district, has
been exhibiting a letter of recommen-
dation signed, among others, by Lee
C. Gates, non-partisan nominee for
mayor.
That Mr.. Mccartney is sailing under
false colors is shown by the following
signed statement by Mr.. Gates;
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 2 1906. To
the county non-partisan committee:
Regarding the circular now in cireu-
lation indorsing the candidacy of Mr..
Mccartney for state senator signed,
among others, by myself:
II hereby state that this document
was signed by me before l knew that
Mr.. McCartney's candidacy was to be
contested or that Mr.. Giffen was to
be his competitor and was not intend
ed to be a recommendation of Mr. Nc
Cartney over the claims of Mr.. Giffen.
Yours most truly,
(signed) LEE c. GATES"
In connection with this letter the
following circular has been issued by
Chairman s. G, Graham and Secretary
Ed North of the county non-partisan
organizations:
"In asking your support for Mr.. G..
M. Giffen for state senator In the
Thirty-eighth senatorial district, we do
so with the full conviction that no
better man could be selected for this
high office.

and the names printed below the

Is placed after any such name in more

vote for the person so voted for.
''Fifth-The question has also beer
presented as to who are the election
board within the meaning of sectior
1887 of the political code, which pro.
vides that the election board must try
and determine challenges for certain
causes. There are contradictory pro
visions upon this subject in section
1142 and the provision which was las
enacted in point of time must prevail
This last provision is to the effect tha
the election board consists of the in.

are therefore entitled to vote upon the

JAMES HANLEY HAS
WORDS OF PRAISE
FOR A NON-PARTISAN

James Hanley, Democrat, and chief
Inspector of the board of public works,
has made public the following signed
statements, urging the election of e.
D. Goode of Glendale, non-partisan
nominee for the assembly from the
Sixty-seventh district:
Mr.. Goode was road overseer of Los
Angeles road district, which includes
Glendale, Tropico, Burbank, Eagle
Rock and Ivanhoe, during six years of
visor, and he proved himself honest,
reliable, efficient, conscientious and
progressive under all circumstances.
During the dry seasons of four and five
years ago when the farmers in that
locality had very little to do, when some
of them were giving their horses away
because of insufficient feed, and when
many formerly well-to-do people We're
in Strengthened circumstances, Mr..
Goode came before the supervisors and
stated that If it met with the approval
of the board he would like to change
the men who were running the county
sprinkling wagons and divide the work
among the most deserving ones, giving
them each a month, which meant SIS.
1.-The supervisors acknowledged this
would be a good plan, and 1t was
adopted and worked out most bene-
f1cially and satisfactory to all except
the few who imagined they had pull.
At that same time we We're graVeling
San Fernando road, working fifteen or
twenty men and teams. Mr.. Goode in
sisted that inasmuch as the road money
was tax money the work should be so
divided that each needy taxpayer could
get a share of 1t while times were so
hard, and so the crews were changed
every three days, and all was done re-
gardless of politics or pull. We had no
complaint against Mr.. Goode, except a
few who seemed to think working for
the county was a snap, and these few
them like a contractor; but they very
soon learned that to join that crew
meant work or cult. His work was
always eminently satisfactory to the
supervisors.
"EIe Is a kind, hrottJ9rly man and has
done more than any one else for the
upbuilding OF the community in which
he lives. His promoting the building of
the Glendale electric line, under most
adverse circumstances and the or
ganization of the Glendale Union high
school are examples of his enterprise.
HE is teetotaler as far as drink is
concerned and has never indulged i'm
the tobacco habit in any way So his
head is always right, his heart Is right,
he has no strings on him and can be
relied on to give all a square deal, and
IL elected you can rest assured that he
will be subject only to the will of the
people of his district. No mistake can
be made In sending him to the legisla-
ture. J--MES HANLEY."

MANY REPUBLICANS
DECLARE INTENTION
OF VOTING FOR BELL

w. l.. Porterfield, the Long Beach
capitalist and Republican, yesterday
returned from speech making trip in
the north in the interest of Theodore
A. Bell and the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Porterfield expressed himself as
confident of the result of the election
next Tuesday. He said that every
where throughout the state Republic
cans are working for Bell and declar-
ing their intentions of voting the Dem
ocratic ticket as rebuke to the South
ern Pacific machine in assuming con-
troll of the Republican organization of
the state.
One of the most significant events of
the campaign occurred Friday night
at Fresno at the conclusion of a great
meeting at which Mr.. Porterfield was
the principal speaker.
In the audience were ninety-five Re-
publicans who had come from Coalinga
on a special train in order to attend the
meeting. At the conclusion of Mr..
Porterfield's address one of the Goa
linga visitors arose, and, after COM
plimenting Mr.. Porterfield for his stand
in the interest of good government as
opposed to Southern Pacific domina-
ton, declared that every one of the
ninety-five Republicans in the party
from Coalinga would vote for Bell.
The announcement was greeted by
tremendous applause by the entire au-
dience, which was composed largely
of Republicans
Mr.. Porterfeld said that in his opln-
ion the San Francisco affair would
work greatly to the disadvantage of
Gillett. Mr.. Porterfield returned to
Los Angeles yesterday in order to take
part in the demonstration last night

Happiness in a Tablet
Perfect Health for Every One Procured
at Small Cost

How many times have you sat down
at your meals absolutely disgusted at
the thought or sight of anything TO
eat?
How many times have you sat down
at your meals without the trace or an
appetite. but just because it was time
TO eat?"
How many times have you felt a
gnawing, unsatisfied "still-hungry
feeling in your stomach, e-'en after you
were through eating?
How many times have you felt that
lump of lead" on your stomach after
eating, whether your meal was well
cooked or not?
And how many times have you suf-
fered whole lot of other things from
your stomach that you couldn't ex-
plain, but that made you grouchy, mis-
cradle, out-o'-sortS and generally sour
en- everybody and everything?
1t is safe to say you couldn't tell.
You don't keep track of those thhings,
of course, but you know you've suf-
fered them. You probably have had
them for so long that they've become a
habit with you, and you have come
TO the conclusion that your fate is to
suffer them indefinitely and perhaps
forever.
And so men, much like horses, stand
ing unhitched at the hitching post
makes them prisoners.
But no one need have dyspepsia, nor
indigestion, nor loss of appetite hrash,
irritation, burning sensations, heart
burn, nausea, eructations, bad memory,
loss of vim and Vigor and the happi-
ness that comes from healthy stom-
ach and a good appetite 80 will
only leave his old hltching post and
tie himself to a new one one that will
hold him to health, Joy, ambition and
a clear mind and memory and the sun
shine that goes with them.
That indeed is Heaven! And you can
get II In a little tablet already pre-
pared for the purpose, in Stuart's "ys-

man. Mr.. Topham continued:
Therefore, L wish to place myself
on record that / stand absolutely for
the entire platform promulgated by the
county non-partisan organization. If
elected 1 shall work fearlessly to that
end.
II do not believe in the multiplicity
of laws which are placed on our stat
ute books merely to be ignored. 1
stand for the enactment of those meas
ures only which will conserve the in
terests Of the whole people, such laws
to be enforced to the letter.
II believe the greatest problem con-
fronting the people today is the elm
ination of graft and the restoring of
the peoples confidence in their public
servants. When this is done we will
have made a long step in the right
direction.
'"The special form of graft known as
the school, hook graft needs particular
attention. Our great school system, l
believe, can be made still greater. The
grand state of California can and
should be made to furnish free text
books to every child of school age and
the laws compelling the attendance OF
children at school should be enforced

ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS
TO PRECINCT WORKERS

1t is of the greatest Importance that
precinct workers should be on hand at
the opening of the polls-at a. m. A
favorite device when fraud is attempted
is to rush in many fraudulent votes at
the opening, relying on the absence of
workers for good government.
Examine original registration to see
that the voter compares as to age, resi-
dence, ETC., with the original registra-
ton blank. Compare the signature on
the voting roster with that on the
registration blank. Section 1904 of the
political code requires voters to sign
the roster, and that the signature on
the roster must be compared with the
signature on the registration blank in
the presence and view of the by-stand-
ers.
Grounds for Challenging-That the
person is not the one whose name ap-
pears on the register; that he has not
resided within the state one year, the
county 80 days and the precinct 80
days; that he has voted before.
Proceedings upon challenge-If the
challenge is on the ground that the
person Is not the one whose name ap-
pears on the register, the inspector
must tender the following oath: "You
do swear Cor affirm) that you are the
person whose name is entered upan the
great register?" If upon the ground
that the person has voted before: You
do swear that you have not voted be-
fore, this day?" If the challenge be on
the ground that the person has not re-
sided within the state, county or pre-
cinct the required time, the question
insult be asked by the inspector: Have
you resided in this state for one year
Immediately preceding this election?"
If the challenge is on the ground that
he has not resided in the county for 80
days or the precinct for 80 days, the
question shall be: when did you last
come into the county Cor election pre-
cincD? When you came into this
county Cor precincD did you come for
temporary purpose, or for making it
your home? Did you come into this
county for the purpose of voting?" and
such other questions as may be neces-
sary to a determination of the chal-
lenge.
Challenges; how decided-Challenge
on the ground that the person is not
the one whose name is on the register
or that the party has voted before are
determined by his taking the oath.
Challenges for non-residence are de-
termined by the board upon hearing the
evidence.
Rules governing place of residence
A mans residence is where his habita-
ton is fixed and that is where mans
family reside.
A list of all challenges and proceed
ings Hereunder must be kept by the
clerk OF the board.
Arrange with your co-workers so
that one of them Is present during the
entire counting OF the vote. Let one
man watch the officer who reads the
ballots, and another one the clerk who
tabulates the returns. Remember you
have a perfect right to be present and

the past thirteen years and has by his
unswerving advocacy of right estab-
lished an enviable reputation for fair
play. Fearless and energetic, his
course on the city board of education
where he served two years. and his
outspoken opposition to all wrong acts
in public affairs as well as private
dealings, has established his fitness
for the office of state senator.
Mr. Giffen is capable in every way
to attend to the duties that will de-
volve upon him in the senate and the
non-partisan committee recommends
him to the voters and respectfully re-
quests your personal influence and eff
forts to secure his election.
I'VE feel that we were extremely
fortunate in securing a man Of such
high character and qualifications as
George M. Giffen for the office of state
senator, and we are satisfied that a
large majority of the best citizens in
this district will concur with us in
this opinion
