Thus will read a message from WASH
ington If the plans of the entire Re-
publican machine, large quota of "the
bunch" "the brickmakers" and all the
various factions of the Republican
party in Los Angeles do not miscarry
There is almost unanimous demand
among the Republicans for the scalp
of United States Marshal Youngworth
for his "pernicious activity" at the re-
cent Republican county convention.
1t is said that Youngworth's activity
was so bold that even his close personal
and political friends repeatedly warned
him that he was liable to hear from 1t
from Washington, but he persisted in
his fight, which principally was for
Louis schwaebe for county auditor.
He not only lost out in this effort but
he made a lasting enemy, both person.
ally and politically, not only practically
of every member of the Republican
machine but of many known politically
as 1.-The bunch"
Hard After His Scalp
What at first merely was loud COM
plant against Youngworths activity at
the convention has developed into an
organized movement to secure the re-
moval of the United States marshal,
who has not yet had time to warm the
chair recently vacated by Marshal Os-
borne.
This movement has gone to the extent
of selecting the name to be recon-
la1 4. -.
when the festive Leo shall have re-
ceived the hoped-for order from Wash
irgton that his services no. longer are
required by Uncle Sam.
John Burr, the San Fernando candi-
date for sheriff and who was used
rather harshly by the machine, not be-
cause the machine hated him but rather
that 1t was necessary to make use of
some one, has been chosen to fill
Youngworth's shoes should they be
ordered vacated.
1t is expected Youngworth will make
determined fight against removal,
but it is said that In this fight he will
not have the support of Senator Flint,
through whose influence Youngworth
received his appointment, simply be-
cause the senator is said to be as badly
disgusted with Youngworth's pernic-
iousness as anyone else.
Subject of General Comment
The Youngworth affair was thorough
ly discussed yesterday by members of
the new Republican county committee
previous to the meeting for organizar
ton, and it was the unanimous verdict
that Leo's pelt would adorn the safety
valve of Walter Parkers machine.
At the meeting of the new county
committee yesterday Bradner w. Lee,
as predicted by The Herald, was re-
elected chairman, and J. ]. Peter
michel, former assistant secretary,
was chosen secretary to succeed Walter
Leeds, who has legislative fight on his
hands and needs all Of his time as
result.
The names of Mr. Lee and Mr.. Peter
michel were the only ones presented
for the respective Offices. Chairman
Lee stated that he would announce the
personnel of the county executive COM
mittee during the coming week.
In the interest Of harmony, which is
an admission that there is much sore
ness as a result of the recent conven-
tion, it is stated that the executive
committee, with possibly three or four
exceptions, will be renamed, with the
addition of two more members at large,
making seven in all, authorized by the
meeting yesterday.
Too Sore to Serve
j. T. Brady, supervisor from the Tkrd
district who was turned down by The
machine, has broken away and will not
be member of the new executive COM
mlttee, and Oscar Lawlor also will step
aside until his sore spots heal.

stand, except as to the new appoint
ment at large, and Brady and Lawler,
