minutes TO the remarks of the nominee

In part:
"Theq non-partisan committee, con
sisting of 100 representative business
men of Los Angeles, called before thei
minds eye the entire citizenship o
the city and from them selected tn
best men possible to represent the tax
payers in this election. They selected
men OF standing, men of honesty, mel
of integrity for the various offices
The best citizenship thus approaches
proved unwilling. These men of af
fairs felt that they could not spar
the time from business and were re
luctant to accept such nominations anC
shied at politics.
'But this was the very class of cit
izens needed If the work OF good gov
ernment was to be carried on and the!
were urged to accept as a duty the!
owed to the city and to the people
The entire ticket was filled from tn
ranks of such men, although it mean
business and personal sacrifice to them
'rhat Is the way non-partisan can
didates were chosen l believe tina
the ticket selected by the non-partsaI
committee Of 100 is as good If not bet
ter than any municipal ticket eve
presented i'm any city"
