the efforts which had been made t

a committee of arbitrators resulted IL
attracting a large audience.
Measured by the applause and tn
amount of enthusiasm displayed. prac
tically all present are in hearty accort
with the non-partisan movement ant
have the fullest confidence in Mr.. Gate
as candidate and in his honesty o
purpose.
Three cheers for the next mayor o
Los Angeles" were given with a vim
when the nominee appeared upon th
stag, and it was some time before MI
Gates was able to begin his remarks.
The Arbitration Story
Mr.. Gates first declared that th
spirit of n-partisanship in civic af
fairs was inspired in statesmen wh'
lived during the early days of the re
public, and that the sentiment nov
was indorsed by the best minds il
both the Republican and Democratic
parties.
He then alluded to the press anC
said that it was the only institution
which had been accorded the power t
assassinate regulations and murde
characters. He said that the press wal
a power for evil as well as good.
Mr.. Gates then proceeded to relat,
the circumstances connected with th'
efforts which had been made to brni
about arbitration as to whether he o
Dr. Lindley should retire from the rae,
for mayor in an effort to prevent tn,
success in the coming election of mel
inimical to- the interests of the city.
Thought Lindley Wanted to Quit
He said that he was given to under
stand that Dr. Lindley was desirous
after having secured the nomination
by the Republican convention, of with
drawing from the contest, and for tina
l.
withdrawal, but that this letter neVe
was written for the purpose of being
placed In the hands of arbitrators, tina
il had not been so placed and that 1
was recalled as soon as he discovered
that II was not DR.. Lindley's desire t
withdraw.
Mr.. Gates declared that Throughout
tho negotiations looking to arbitration
he made his position plain that h,
would not submit his candidacy to ar
bitration without the consent of tn,
non-partisan executive committee.
rms committee, at his request, ha'
considered the question and hat
reached the conclusion that it woul,
not be justice to the thousands of voter
who had pledged the nom partisan ticke
their support to withdraw their candi
date or submit his candidacy to
board of arbitrators.
Afterward they decided that IL would
not be a violation OF non-partisan prin
ciples il they included the nominees O
the three leading parties, but that tn,
result of their efforts in this line wal
well known.
Incident Now Closed
