CANDIDATES ARE
READY TO FIGHT
FALL CAMPAIGN PROMISES TO
BE WARM
Third District Voters After Al era.
hams sesIp--Two Supervisors
to BE Chosen at Fall
Election

Two supervisors will be chosen at the
elections to be held next fall to fill the
positions OF members whose terms ex-
pire January l. 1907, and the indications
are that the contests for both places
will be interesting. The members whose
terms expire are Brady Of the First dis
trict and Graham Of the Second. Brady
is at present filling an unexpired term,
having been named to succeed the late
0. w. Longden.
Graham wishes to succeed himself
and It is understood that Brady also
desires an election to a full term. But
the chances are that If the ambition of
either in this respect is satisfied 1t Will
be only after a hard fight.
In the Third district, the one repre-
sented by Graham, strong pressure is
being brought to bear on DR.. Lamb to
induce him to enter the race, and in
the First district Capt. Manning Of
Lamanda Park win make an effort to
secure the nomination. Capt. Manning
was a candidate for the office to fill the
unexpired term of Longden but was
beaten at that time by Brady Of Po-
mona
Ascot Park an Issue
The fight on Graham is likely to be
especially strong. Ascot park is cer-
tain to be an issue in the supervisoral
campaign next fall, and the opponents
Of that track are after Graham's scalp.
In the case of Brady, opposition on this
ground probably will not cut much
figure, as he has shown a disposition
at various times to put a check on the
Objectionable features of horse racing.
His opponent for the office, however, is
said to be exceedingly popular in his
district and may be able to muster
following sufficiently strong to make
him an important factor in the case be-
fore the convention.
The opponents of Ascot park are
likely to center the efforts on the super
visoral campaign, for the reason that
with Graham out this element thinks
II sees a chance to secure the closing
of the track. Alexander's position with
regard to that is well known, and there
also is disposition to count on Brady
If they bring about the defeat of
Graham and the election of a man who
will line up with Alexander and Brady
on this question they would have full
majority on the board.
Want to Be Sheriff
OF the other contests for county
offices those for sheriff and superior
court judges promise to be the most
interesting. For the office of sheriff
there are six candidates. and so far as
the Republican machine is concerned
1t is understood to be to an open field.
Sheriff White wishes to succeed him
self, but will find himself opposed In
the convention by w. A. Hammel,
John Burr, E. R. Werden, John C.
Cline and Wilson Of Long Beach. Each
of these candidates claims to have a
strong following in the convention.
Six superior court judges are to be
nominated to succeed Judges Monroe,
Bordwell, Gibbs, James, York and
1Trask, whose terms expire. 1t is under
stood that Judge Trask, who is Demo-
crat, does not aspire to a denomination
but the Others probably will make the
race again. Other candidates for the
bench include James c. Rives. former
district attorney; Assemblyman Fred
Hauser, c. c. Bowen of this city and
George Hutton of Santa Monica.
Candidates Are Busy
Two township justices also are to be
nominated, but so far only one candi-
date, aside fror the incumbents, has
been prominently named for either of
these offices. This is Maj. ]. A. Dom
nell. deputy district attorney, but
whether he will conclude to enter

AS already announced, City Auditor
Schwaebe has decided to try to secure
the nomination for county auditor as
against Mr.. Dow, and City Tax COL
lector Johnson wishes to succeed County
Tax Collector Welch.
Several candidates are after the NOM
nation for county treasurer, and at
present 1t seems to be anybody's race.
SO far as can be judged by surface in
eications, however. John N. Hunt of
South Pasadena seems to be rapidly
forging to the front and promises to
give Mark Jones. the incumbent, hard
fight in the convention.
County Assessor Ward has made no
definite statement as yet regarding his
Intentions, but tie impression prevails
that his name will be found on, the nde-
pendent ticket as a candidate for re-
election. County Recorder Hartwell is
after the Republican nomination for
Wards office, and his friends claim
that he stands an excellent chance OF
