the leading cand1dateS Tor coroner, yes
terday announced his withdrawal from
the contest and announced himself an
independent candidate.
Isues a Statement
The doctor confided his intentions to
the press In the following signed state
ment:
Having given the matter thorough
consideration, I have decided that l
prefer to go before the people of Los
Angeles county as an independent can
didate for the office Of coroner.
Il am making a campaign on the
platform of a square deal for both the
living and the dead and am absolutely
sure that this platform would not have
chance before the convention that
is to be held at Venice.
"All my life has been spent in the
ranks of the Republican party, where
1 have been a faithful worker, but
l do not uphold the principles of the
machine politician"
DIR. j. M. Dunsmoor has been sup
posed to be the slate candidate for cor
oner, but it was strongly limited in GER
tain quarters yesterday that his name
merely was brought forward to throw
off the scent those who were after the
scalp Of Coroner Trout.
In the meantime DR.. Trout is keep
Lanternlan we're not making any
claims Yesterday.
Lamb Marked for Slaughter
"You can say with the greatest en-
phasis that I am still in the race and
will win," declared DR.. w. A. Lamb
yesterday, in the face of the oft-re-
peated assertion that the machine,
under no circumstance would consent
to his nomination as supervisor of the
Third district.
DR.. Lamb is given credit for having
made it impossible to renominate Su-
pervisor Graham, and for this work the
make an example of DR.. Lamb for his
temerity.
AS a result, unless the unexpected
happens, S. T. Eldridge will receive the
nomination. which will give Dr.. Lamb
an opportunity of carrying out his re-
ported intention of making an indie
pendent fight for the position.
Withdraw From the Race
In addition to DIR. Sawyer the with
drawal of three other candidates for
various positions was announced yes
terday.
City Tax Collector f. e. johnson,
who wanted the similar position with
the county. concluded to step aside
in favor of Mr.. Welch and try again
for the position of city tax collector.
This will give Welch the nomination,
although John H. Gish is still in the
race.
Henry Sherer, formerly deputy coun-
ty clerk, announced his withdrawal
for the nomination for county clerk,
which means the denomination with
out struggle of Mr. Keyes. Sherer's
step is said to be due to the fact that
Keyes was preparing to go after the
scalp of Evan Lewis, present city as
SCISSOR, because Lewis and his brother
Dave were active in Sherer's candi-
dacy.
HeartwelI for Treasurer
The withdrawal of Mark Jones, also
reported yesterday, simplifies the con-
test for treasurer and insures the nom
ination of Charles L. Heartwell of
Long Beach, although his nomination
generally was conceded ever since his
candidacy was announced
John NJ. Hunt and Robert Wirsch-
ing are still in the race and 1t is said
that they will fight to the end, but the
edict has gone forth that Heartwell
is the man.
G.. L. Heartwell will have no opposi-
ton for county assessor. and I. B. No
BILE and Charles L. Logan are on the
same easy street as regards the nomi-
nations for surveyor and recorder, re-
spectively. while Mark Keppel is con-
ceded the nomination for superinten-
dent of schools.
Two Sharp Fights
City Auditor Schwaebe declares that
he will get the nomination for county
auditor, the position now held by Her
bert G. Dow. but the machine says
that Dow must be renominated.
Schwaebe is backed by the bunch"
and If he wins he must display more
strength than he is given credit of
possessing. In the meantime the ma
chine men are standing pat.
Another man backed by "the bunch"
Is Frank BrySon of Los Angeles against
". H. Wickersham of San Pedro. the
machine candidate for public admin
istrator.
On the surface both fights are Bit
ter, with the chances largely in favor
of the machine candidates unless
trade on the quiet is effected, which
does not seem probable.
For township justices II. A. Pierce
and William H. Young are conceded
the nomination: for city justices, II.
II. Rose. William Frederickson and
Joseph Chambers. and for constables,
L. c. Cleveland and ]. H. De la Monte.
w. P. James. Walter Bordwell, j. C.
ttlNeS, G. "A. NrlDDS ana tndTleS MoH-
roe 1t is thought, will be nominated
on the first ballot for judges of the
superior court. while G. G. Bowen,
George H. Hutton and Fred w. Houser
are fighting for the sixth place.
