THE BOSSES FRIGHTENED

Word went out from the Republican
machine headquarters yesterday to ali
the "faithfur' throughout the city to
drop Llndley and vote for Harper
In most instances where caucuses
we're held yesterday afternoon the order
to drop Lindley was obeyed, but an
agreement at once followed to vote for
Gates, wherever the voice Of the real
citizens could be heard.
Anti-machlne Republicans who have
chung to Lindley in the hope that "the
organization" might be all right, have
now sufficient warning that they are
about to be traded off to the Demo-
cratic machine. They are being made
irto mere puppets, If they will allow it.
The vote Of every honest anti-machne
Republican should be cast for Lee c.
Gates, the non-partisan, and thus de-
feat the Vaccinations of both ma
chimes.
Now, citizens, the issue is squarely
and Enthusiastically made.
Both the machines have combined in
desperate effort to defeat Lee c.
Gates and the non-partisan ticket.
Are you going to allow It?
It's UP to you--you-you. individually,
whether this great and beautiful city
shall be run by Walter Parker and the
Southern Pacific machine, or whether
it shall be managed by the people who
have made it, who live in it and who
pay it's revenues.
Lee Gates and the non-partisan plat
form declare that bossism is crime.
And that's true. And bosslsm has
ordained, within the last twenty-four
hours, that 1t cannot win by support
ing both Lindley and Harper, and
therefore it will concentrate upon
Harper.
The driving of Lindley, machine Re-
publican, practically out of the race,
is great victory for non-partisanism
and the people.
Now drive Harper out and by elect
ing Lee Gates and the whole non-par-
tisan ticket declare to the world that
bossism in Los Angeles municipal af-
fairs is at once and forever abolished.

YOUR DUTY TO VOTE

No matter what a citizens views may
be on the availability Of the various
candidates for mayor, his duty is very
plain. He should vote for one of the
men named. None may exactly suit
his ideas as possessing the qualities
and fitness for the head Of the Los An
seles city government. None may
stand for just the principles he upholds.
But this is no excuse for a citizen not
making a choice between the material
at hand 1t Is his prerogative, his duty,
to vote.
The man who finds that none OF the
present candidates measures up to his
ideal-if such there be-may argue that
he shows his real choice by absenting
himself from the polls. But he does
not. He merely stultihes himself, while
at the same time he aids toward elec-
| tion the candidates whom he finds most
Objectionable. Every vote withheld
chances of the worst just that much.
If none is ideal, then select the one that
comes nearest to the standard, and by
helping him, do that much toward de-
feating the more unworthy.
Besides, only those who participate
in an election are entitled to criticize
the result or to advise or correct the
successful aspirant. This is a repre-
sentative government and only those
are represented who take active part
in the choice of its heads. The man
who has the right of franchise but re-
that act not a real citizen. And as
such he is entitled to no part in the ad-
ministration of affairs.
The most sacred possession of an
American citizen is his suffrage. In no
other land on earth is it so free. Wars
pendence was secured because it was
denied, after eight years of bloody con-
flict. Government without representa-
ton is unthinkable on American soil.
Every true patriot knows this. Every
| citizen, then, who can and does not
vote, betrays his birthright.
city, as state, gets just as good
| a government as it demands. The good
citizens of city, state or nation are in
the majority and could control every
election ever held IL they would. They
have only themselves to blame If un-
worthy men are chosen to govern them.
They can have good ones If they will.
But they often are too Indifferent or
too busy to take the time to cast their
ballots; they allow the vicious elements
who never fail to vote, early and
often, as many times as they can with
out being caught-they permit the
vicious, the purchasable, the degraded,
to control just because they, the intel
ligent and able, refuse to make their
own choice.
The Herald stands clearly and unmis-
takably for -partisanship in local
affairs, and for the non-partisan ticket.
Vote that ticket and you will be right.

board of education are Joseph Scott.

A Word of Welcome

("More people are coming to Southern
California this winter than ever before
J. F. Booth, Union Pacific railroad).
From the country where the blizzard
Chills and warps your very gizzard;
From the land of snow and ice and
many ills, a
They are coming cross the mountains,
Where the flowers and the fountains
Glow and sparkle in the sunshine
that them thrills!
From Missouri, Alabama,
Delaware and Indiana;
From New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, too;
Maine, New Hampshire and Dakota,
Via train and via motor,
You can see the hosts of tourists
come in view!
To the land that's always summer,
To the city that's hummer,
All the hordes flee from the winter
and it's woes;
They are seeking sunshine yellow;
They want climate soft and mellow,
Where on Christmas days they'll
wear their thinnest clothes!
Come, We host of frozen nomad
People who at home would go mad;
= This is Gods own bit of Paradise
we know!
Come and join the glad procession,
Enter in and take possession;
And in sunshine land forget your
every woe!
In the riot of our flowers,
Pass the dreaming, restful hours:
Never think about the blizzard
whence you got
Drink in climate, loll at leisure
Then we hope twill be your pleasure
To go out and put your money IN
lot! wv. H. c.
