complete city non-partisan ticket has
been postponed for about ten days or
two weeks.
AT the meeting last night of the COM
mittee of one hundred report of the
executive committee, recommending
that report on the ticket be delayed un-
til early in October was adopted.
The report stated that the delay is not
caused by lack of available candidates
for the offices remaining undecided up
on, but a determination that the very
best men shall be named for each posi-
tion and that by the conclusion that the
ticket, when named, shall be complete.
Il is expected that the next meeting
will be held not later than October 10.
Change in Chairmanships
w. j. Hunsaker, chairman of the
committee of one hundred, resigned his
position owing to his connection with
the newly incorporated Los Angeles e
Owens River railroad. In his letter of
resignation Mr.. Hunsaker said he was
profoundly interested in the non-parti-
saE movement and that his resignation
as chairman was prompted by fear that
his connection with the enterprise
named might work to the disadvantage
of the nominees of the committee.
James A. Foshay was elected chair
man and j. G.. Kays was chosen treas
urer in place of r. j Waters, who re-
signed for reasons similar to those of
Mr. Hunsaker.
About half a hundred members of the
main committee were present at last
nights meeting, which was said by Sec
retary Lissner to have been of an en-
thusiastc character. The question of
candidates, it is said, was not discussed.
