ness SO carefully planned, so we'll or
ganizeu and with so strong support
assured as this one will now be broken
up, there would be little prospect of
another serious attempt for many
years. In justice to the larger COM
mittee of 100 and to the more than
$500 believers in the principle of nom
partisanship in municipal affairs, who
have already pledged themselves to our
cause, this executive committee was
convinced that 1t would be false to its
trust if it submitted either the claims
of it's candidates or the principle ad-
vocated by it to the decision of any
foreign body, no matter how eminent
or authoritative. Still less could it do
this when it believed that the request
for such submission was inspired by
precisely the forces which the body
was organized to combat"
1T is not true, as stated in an even
ing paper that a majority of the men,
bers of the original executive commit
tee of the non-partisan city central
committee (Which consisted of ten
members, and not fifteen, as stated)
favored the nomination of DR.. Lindley
as the non-partiSan candidate for
mayor. The fact is that none of the
members of that committee favored
DR.. Lindley as the non-partisan stand
ard bearer. 4.
"Dr. Lindley's name was suggested
to the non-partisan committee and
urged upon them at his own special in
stance, and received the same consid-
GRAFTON from the committee that many
other names which it was then delib-
Grating upon also received. On that
committee were some men whom DIR.
Lindley probably numbers among his
old and valued friends and no doubt
they would have been glad to have
nominated the doctor If he had been
considered an available or desirable
candidate.
Always a Machine Man
1.-THE selection of a candidate for
mayor was not made without careful
deliberations; and very little inves-
tigation and inquiry among citizens
generally was sufficient to convince
the committee that DIR. Lindley would
not do at all as the non-partisan can
didate, and his name was unanimously
rejected. 1t was found that DR.. Lind
ley's affiliations and connections In
matters political had always been with
the machine politicians. and the gem
eral sentiment seemed to be that If
he were made the non-partsan stand
ard bearer the campaign would be-
come one of apology and defense and
the movement would be doomed to de-

"The facts are as follows: DR.. Lind
ley had his name presented to the NOM
mating committee and his claims were
urged upon them, and the committee
gave them due consideration. DR..
Lindley'S record was thoroughly gone
into, and it was the decision of the
committee that his affiliations with the
machine had been so close that he was
not available as a candidate on the
non-partisan ticket.
Further, in a conversation with one
of that committee, in reply to direct
question as to DR.. Lindley's opinion of
Walter Parker, Dr. Lindley said he re-
garded Walter Parker as the logical
leader of the Republican party in this
end of the state, and expressed him
self as satisfied with that leadership,
There were several members of the
committee who knew DR.. Lindley and
his record who were opposed from the
outset to his being the standard bearer
of the non-partisan movement, and,
after thorough investigation, the
committee was unanimous in rejecting
his claims.
Dust Pleases Boss Parker
"The dust which has been raised in
connection with the mayoralty situa-
ton must be highly satisfactory to
Walter Parker and those men who are
Interested in the control OF the city
council, for their schemes to that end
are well hidden from view. I'M
portant as the mayors Office is, the
control of the council and the city
attorneys office is of far greater i'm
portance than that of mayor, and
While the machine leaders can keep
everyone interested in the mayors
fight and keep up the attempt on the
part of certain newspapers to dis
credit the non-partisan movement in
connection with the mayors office,
they distract attention from the weak
ness of their councilmanic nominal
tions.
Fright here is the chief and un-
answerable argument as to why Mr..
Gates could not withdraw. His with
drawal would have meant the weak
ening of the whole non-partisan ticket
to such an extent that its splendid
nominees for the city offices and the
city council might fail of election, and
in that event the entire ticket selected
by the Republican convention for coun-
cilmen would be elected, and Los An
geles would for three years be under
the burden Of a council as bad, If not
worse, than the present council. The
average citizen has a far greater in
terest in the personnel of the city
council than in the occupant of the
mayors chair, and do not let us be
blinded by the tricks of clever politi-
clans so that we shall lose sight OF the
real issue of this campaign, which is
that national party organizations have

that the quicker he became convinced Of

Mr.. Murphy and those close 10 him
were greatly dissatisfied by the mayors 8
appointments. That they did not suffi-
GENTLY represent the Tammany organiza-

For reply the mayors friends pointed
out that Mr.. Murphy was evidently un-
aware Of the changed political conditions
in New York city; that the voters for
a number of years had demonstrated that
broader political views and more inde-
pendent action, especially in the matter OF
appointments, were essential and. finally,
that the iron rule, which had been the
chief tenet OF the Tammany organization
for a hundred years would not longer be
tolerated by the voters.
