PHELAN COMING
TO Los ANGELES
TO SPEAK AT DEMONSTRATION
FOR BELL
Former Mayor Of San Francisco Wires
That He viii Participate in the
Opening Of the Democratic
Campaign

Hon. James d. Phelan will be among
the speakers at the reception and
demonstration for Hon. Thomas A.
Bell and other Democratic state nom
inees at Simpson auditorium tomorrow
night.
Timothy Spellacy, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
yesterday wired Milton X. Young that
he was just in receipt of telegram
from Mr.. Phelan stating that the lat
ter would reach Los Angeles Saturday
morning and participate at the formal
opening of the Democratic campaign
in Southern California.
Various committees appointed to
make arrangements for the great
Democratic event tomorrow have
nearly completed their work and
Democrats generally are anticipating
one of the greatest demonstrations in
the history of Los Angeles.
In Favor of Non-Partisans
Within the next few days it is eX-
pected that every Democrat who was
nominated in district conventions in
place of those selected for indorse-
ment by the non-partisan county COM
mittee will announce withdrawal
from the Democratic nomination.
This action will result in the NOM
ination by the Democrats of the en-
tire ticket of the non-partisan COM
mittee, as contemplated by overwhelm-
ing majority of the delegates compris-
ing the recent Democratic convention
but whose evident wish was negatived
by several sub-conventionS, packed
for the purpose by machine Republi-
cans.
In the Third supervisoral district
convention, which was veritable
farce owing to the open manner in
which the convention was packed by
Republicans, Martin C. Marsh was
nominated instead of DR.. W. A. Lamb,
the non-partisan candidate, and in the
First supervisoral district convention
M. L. Sparks was nominated instead
of d. c. Manning, the Republican in
dorsed by the non-partisans.
The Thirty-eighth senatorial con-
vention nominated T. s. Knowles in
stead of G. M. Giffen. The Sixty
seventh assembly district nominated
E. G.. Good instead of Gideon S. Case,
the Seventhy first H. w. Lewis in place
of DR.. w. L. Brown and the Seventy
fifth Frank b. Romo in place of Harry
S. Williams.
Candidates Withdrawing
Following the lead of Martin c.
Marsh, who formally declined the
nomination for supervisor from the
u1SLr1CI, 1t is THAT II.
w. Lewis, nominated for the assembly
from the Seventy-frst district, will
Withdraw from the ticket within few
days. He has definitely stated that he
would withdraw and all that remains
is the writing of the formal letter.
1t is said upon excellent authority
that the others have signified their in
tention of Withdrawing and it is con-
fidently expected that eventually every
one of the seven men whose nomina-
tions were brought about in an ef-
fort to defeat the plans of the main
convention will announce his with
drawal.
The certificate of Mr.. Marsh's NOM
ination provides for another appoint
ment by the original committee on
vacancies by the general convention.
This fact will prevent the Supervisoral
district committee on vacancies, the
ma jority of which is composed of op-
ponents Of non-partisan action, from
filling the vacancy, which action will
devolve upon the committee named by
the county convention and which is
composed of men who are in favor of
carrying out the will of the conven-
tion.
AS a result the name of DR.. Lamb,
the non-partisan candidate named to
fight S. T. Eldridge, the Republican
machine candidate will be placed
upon the Democratic ticket.
Those Democrats who in convention
opposed non-partisan action now are
working in behalf of undivided sup
port of the non-partisan ticket.
