Mr.. Lee c. Gates splendid letter ac-
cepting the non-partisan nomination as
mayor of Los Angeles has attracted
widespread commendation. 1t is
manly, courageous letter, setting forth
the facts and conditions which demand
the selection of non-partisan. Mr..
Gates declares himself in favor of
the progress and enterprising devel-
opment of the city and specifically
approves those great projects which
are already under public discussion.
The letter of Mr. ates is a manly
declaration and will at once increase
his list of supporters. Every patriotic
citizen should read and consider the
letter.

TWO WEF Ks FROM TODAY

The speechmaking phase of the state
campaign closed at the end of last
week, practically, so far as southern
California is concerned. The candidates
for governor and other state Offices who
for three weeks "stumped" this sec
tion with exceptional thoroughness,
have moved their theater of activity
northward In the remaining two
weeks prior to the election, the cam
paign will be localized. chiefly, al
though final spurt of activity on state
issues will occur here just before ehe
battle of the ballots.
In the few days now remaining be-
fore the election, campaign work will
be confined largely to personal effort.
The general issues involved in the
state campaign have been fully dis
cussed by public speakers and the
press. Every voter who can cast a
ballot intelligently is presumed to have
read or heard the views of the leaders.
No voter can consistently claim, sub
SC 1uently to the election, that he voted
under a misapprehension of the salient
issues.
In view OF this thoroughness of the
state canvass, the verdict of the people
at the polls should be satisfactory TO
all. The result will be just what the
voters of this state desire, as indi-
Gated by a plurality of their votes.
Consequently, there can be no reason
able excuse for faultfinding and no
valid ground for regret when the cleo
tion returns come in.
If the plurality of the people of Cal
iforna are satisfied with present po-
litical condi tions, they will so declare
themselves by their votes. II they thin K
it wise to continue the plan of dele
leges to the railway monopoly and
the Republican machine which 1t con-
trols, then they will vote for the can
didates selected thereby from governo or
to constable. They will vote to in
stall in the governorship James n.
Gillett who wears the collar Of the
man who directed his nomination, Z. II.
, Hartman, grand mogul of the Southern
Pacific railway system.
But II the plurality Of California vo-
ters have determined to be neither led
nor driven to surrender their rights
to monopolists and political machine
managers, then they will vote for Theo
dore A. Bell and the rest OF the state
and county ticket which his name
leads Whatever the result may be,
however, let there be no post-election
grumbling or Kicking because Of the
result.
Two weeks from today the decision OF
the voters of California must be rem
dered on the vital questions involved
i'm this campaign, Every voter should
feel that he will be satisfed. when .he
result Is announced, with his own course
at the polls. And IL any voter still Is
/ In doubt concerning the ballot he
should drop into the box, let him ask
himself whether he Is willing to wear

AMacHIyr.NAnn Guy

The sponsors Of Candidate Gillets a.
last have hit upon a plan to break tn,
force. il possible, Of President Roose
yelt's tart refusal to say a word com.
mandatory Of their man.
II has been known for several days
that the machine bosses were alarmed
by the damaging effect Of the presi.
dents action IN turning down the Gilleti
appeal. either directly or indirectly, fol
such an indorsement as the one given to
the Republican candidate for governor
In New York
Something had to be done calculated
to counteract the negative evidence that
the president did not approve of Mr.
Glllett's candidacy. The henchmen ot
u, II. Hartman and the Republican
machine bosses seem to have put their
heads together I'm an effort to repair
the damage, with the ludicrous result
now made public. Here is the gauzy
scheme, which a blind man might see
through.
a person named Guy, credited with
having his habitat in San Diego, comes
to the front in an alleged Interview with
President Roosevelt at Washington,
The date Of the interview is not given,
but the time is vaguely alluded to as "a
few days ago. Mr.. Guy suggestive
uame) alleges that the president said
this to him; In my opinion California
Republicans are fortunate in the nomi-
nation of James n. Gillett for governor.
OF course know Mr.. Gillett personally.
have observed his work i'm congress
and am familiar with his official record.
That he will make your state an excel
lent executive l have no doubt. He is
an able man, a clean man and a
thoroughly independent man."
Too thin" is the thought that
strikes California voters on reading that
evidently made-to-order Endorsement of
Candidate Gllett by President Roose-
welt.
In the first place. the president is not
man of reversible character. He does
not say one thing today and con-
Trajectory thing tomorrow. In the sec
ond place. no person who is at all
familiar with the PRESIDENTS habit In
such matters will believe that he used
any such language as is attributed to
him by Guy of San Diego.
But a desperate situation requires
desperate measures. The next best
thing to getting from the president a
reversal of his refusal to indorse Mr..
Gillett, in the judgment of the Gillett
managers, was to work up a spurious
Endorsement. II, the president did not
say what Guy attributes to him he
might have SO said had he been in
clined. And what he might, could,
would or should have said, to use All
oIden time campaign saying, would be
a "good enough Morgan until after the
election"
That reputed Guy interview is en-
tirely too tenuous. You can see through
it as clearly as through a sieve, or a
MOSQUITO net or through the hole IN a
grindstone. 1t was not "a wise Guy
who "rememb cred that fulsome eulogy
OF Candidate Gillett and then charged
up the gush to President Roosevelt.

THE spEcIAL ELECTION

Interest in the general elections
Should not be allowed to overshadow
the important special election that will
occur November 70 IN Los Angeles
and on the strip Of territory extending
down to san Pedro and Wilmington,
which It is proposed to annex to the
city.
on the result of the special election
depends, primarily. the consolidation
of the port cities with Los Angeles. No
decisive step can be taken in establish
ing the connection between Los An
geles and the harbor unless the plan
of the connecting link be Endorsed by
the voters in this city and i'm the link
strip as we'll
There Is no question that the
Interests Of all voters concerned call
for an affirmative vote OH the annexa-
ton proposition. It must be remem-
bered, however, that powerful inhu-
ences are errayed against the funda-
mental proposition Of consolidating the
port cities with Los Angeles. Not only
the railways having tcrmini at San
Pedro and Wilmington, but other har-
Dor frontage grabbers as well, are OPP
posed to any movement whereby their
schemes would be confronted by the in
fiuence and power Of Los Angeles
There is no doubt that the various
harbor grabbers will use their best
efforts to defeat consolidation in this
initial movement. They cannot hope to
influence the Los Angeles vote success
strenuous endeavor to dissuade prop
erty owners i'm the connecting strip from
voting afflrmatively
The election to decide this most i'm
portant matter is less than three weeks
distant. The time is short for a cam
paign of education in the territory of
the connecting link, which is officially
described as "a paralellogram of about
eight square miles in area adjoining
the city on the southwest. with half
mile strip running thence to and along
the easterly boundary of Wilmington
and touching the north boundary of
San Pedro
The management of the special cleo
ton campaign is entirely in the hands
of the city and county consolidation
commission. 1t is in good hands and
the work required will be prosecuted
with the utmost vigor. There is hardly
a doubt that the result of the election
will be satisfactory, but let no mis-
take be made in Understanding the
potency of the corporate interests ar
rayed against the annexation project.
