PASADENA, Sept 17.-County Re
corder Calvin Hartwell, lately nomi-
mated as Republican candidate for
county assessor, Is a. very sick man.
Hartwell is so i'll, that he has been
taken to some nearby hot springs for
treatment and one of his closest politi-
cal advisers stated this evening that
lie fears that the candidate Is in such
condition he will have hard time to
conduct a proper canvass for the office
even If his Illness has no more serious
outcome.
So reticent are the intimate friends of
Hartwell that 1t is generally believed
here that the sufferer is in dangerous
condition. tuberculosis runs in the
HartWell family and while Cal. Hart
well looks to be as healthy as 1t is pos
sibe for a man to appear when he is in
good health one of his friends states
that this illness has greatly changed the
crstwhile robust Pasadenan.
Hnrtwell has taken one of those
'colds" which sometimes turns out so
disastrously. He caught cold at the
Republican convention which nomi-
mated him at Venice. Nothing much
was thought of his Illness for the first
few days and then he was obliged to
stop work and for n week he did not
appear at his office in the county court
house in Los Angeles. This did not
{ Iuse much comment about the county
building, for while Hartwell is county
recorder it was to be expected that he
would. be out doing politics when he
has such a man as Ben Ward to fight
for the county assessorship 1t will be
news to many that Hartwell spent that
week in bed and not at politics.
In week of rest Hartwcll sufficiently
recovered to be about for few days
Irt, A., f,,tf
mate friend states that the politician
has frightful "cold' or something on
his chest; that the man is doubled up
With paroxysms of coughing and pain
and that his appearance has become
greatly changed within the past few
days.
SO grave has the matter become that
Hartwclrs most intimate friends have
called, meeting of Republicans for
next Thursday evening to form an or
ganization which shall rally around the
sufferer and do his political work for
him. u. ~. .s,,-.
