MR.. cANnoN's ALLEGED CANDIDACY.

Washington politicians are COM
menting on the game being played by
-Joe' Cannon, as speaker of the house,
to strengthen his presidential POSSIBLE.
tiles. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Cannon
is Conducting campaign along dis
tinct lines with the purpose of making
himself the successor of President
Roosevelt
If this is the case, Mr.. Cannon has
every opportunity to make a good
showing. His office carries him into a
most influential position. Next to the
president Mr.. Cannon may be said to be
the chief dispenser Of favors. Under
the present rules of the house the
speaker may make or unmake a con-
gresham. New York's position as a
pivotal state has been changed by the
growth of the west. We can nomin
ate and elect q republican president
without New York. Illinois is big
state and to some degree an uncer-
tainty. 1t is not to be listed with Iowa
as sure state. Mr.. Cannon holds
some very good cards in the game.
But he has started too late. Joe
Cannon will be q years old if he lives
until 1908. His election to the presi-
dency would be quite as much a vio-
lation of precedent as third term.
n 1--we IN, aH
time people and politicians are likely
to agree that their insecure tenure of
life is not to be trusted in the most
important office in the land whatever
may be their qualifications or deserts.
The question of Mr.. Cannon's qualifi-
cations and deserts is another story
Cannon would be in his seventy
third year in 1905. Lincoln was fifty
one when he was elected president.
fifty. Cleveland was forty-seven. Nc
Kinley was tythree, and Roosevelt
was forty-six. Elihu B. Root will be
sixty-three in 1908. Shaw will be sixty.
Taft will be forty-nine. LaFollette will
be fifty-three. Mr.. Cannon has a
decade the worst of the Oldest of these.
He will be in his seventy-third year.
Vigorous as he doubtless is, he has
come to the time when the grass
hopper becomes burden and death a
daily probability.
Mr.. Cannon has been busy this win
ter keeping the peace. He is not
leader, nor has ever been leader. In
the next campaign the promise of the
signs is that men will be looking for
leaders and not for compromise, that
the issue will be between the corpora
tions and the people. Mr.. Cannon, tho
of the west, very likely could not hold
the west solidly for himself or his
party if opposed by Mr.. Byran. His
nomination would be dangerous
thing.

WILTSHIRE HARVARD HEIGHTS
Surprisingly Beautiful Section, for

Street Car Line Extension

In natural beauty, freedom from fills
and unsightly draws, the new Wiltshire
boulevard section surpasses the older
portion cast of Westlake park.
Wiltshire Harvard Heights, one of the
closest-in of the new tracts, embraces
eighty acres Of gently sloping table
land extending from Wiltshire south to
SAN Marino, and from Normandie west
to Harvard geographically it re-

gently from its northern and southern
boundaries towards the center, the Will

of water. Property owners adjoining
Eighth street are working with For
rester improvement company for the
continuation of a car line out Eighth

Inducements offered by the entire
new Wiltshire section are the generally
rigid restrictions protecting home-seek-

generally. Wiltshire boulevard, with
it's magnificent homes, it's elevation,
great width and comparative nearness,
promises to be the show street of Los

FINE HOME SITES

Every important home city in the
country possesses what is popularly
known and referred to with pride as
"The West End" or "The West Side
residence district
Los Angeles, famous throughout the
wide world as the ideal home city In
the Golden state, Is justly noted for
the great number and beauty of stately
mansions, imposing and modest DWELL
ings, cottages and bunalows that adorn
the broad avenues and streets, the
mesas and the valleys.
Old residents and visitors readily
recognize the fact that the fashionable
residence section Of Los Angeles Is the
West End-that beautiful section eX-
tending from Figueroa street west to
the city limits and still further out;
north of Sixteenth street and south of
Temple street

familiar sections that have been i'm

for visitors
Expansion of District
Because of the general beauty Of the
western section and the persistent de-
mand for homesites in that direction
the far-sighted and energetic realty
operations have subdivided and COM
menced the improvement of numerous
beautiful tracts beyond the Westlake
district that will at once cause the
erection of many high class residences
on the mesas and along the slopes
from which is afforded magnificent
views of the shapely mountains and
the lovely valleys extending to the
ocean.
Roughly estimated the distance from
Western avenue to the foothills to the
vest is about four miles, or eight miles
from Broadway, From Sixteenth street
north through the new residence dis
tricts-the extension of the West End
the distance is four miles. 1t will be
observed that the acreage for improve
ment is limited and naturally lots In
the new tracts to which reference is
made elsewhere in this issue, will be
quickly taken by homeseekers and in

Those who have not kept in touch
with the many fine Improvements now
in progress just north of Sunset park
and beginning only two blocks west of
Westlake park, should pay visit to
that section and see what is being
done with that fine tract of land lying
between Coronado street and Occidental
boulevard and extending from Sunset
park and Sixth street north to First
street. Almost everyone has admired
the commanding heights just north of
Sunset park. Many people have taken
a Sunday afternoon stroll to the sum
init to enjoy the commanding view of
the city, the mountains and the ocean.
and many have expressed the desire to
make their permanent home on it's
slopes. To such the present scene of
activity will be most pleasing.
Several months ago this beautiful
tract of seventy-fiVe acres was pur-
chased by a syndicate composed OF
Strong & Dickinson, l.. w. Andrews,

is the construction of magnificent
