These are the men whom the execu-
tive committee of the non-partisan
movement has decided on to form the
ticket in the municipal election this
year.
Councilmen for the Second and Sixth
wards have not been chosen, but their
names will be made known sometime
! this week. The committee is consider
ing several promising men in both the
Second and Sixth wards but the pres
ent incumbents of these offices are
not among them.
The announcement that Leslie R.
Hewitt, at present first assistant to
City Attorney Mathews, has been
chosen as the nominee for city attor-
ney has cleared the air in respect to
that office. Next to the question of
the nominee for mayor that of city
attorney has created more interest
| than of any other office. Mr.. Hewitt
also expects TO go before the ftepuDll-
can city convention and seek the Re-
publican nomination. While Mr..
Hewitt is not on the best of terms
with the Republican organization the
leaders have agreed that they will
make no contest on the question of
| city attorney.
The choice of Harry J. Lelande as
the nominee for city clerk makes it
almost certain that the Republican
convention will give Mr.. Lelande the
nomination in it's convention. Mr.. Le-
lande has already made up his mind
to force it to do so. Twice he has
gone before the Republican conven-
| tion with Walter Parker and all his
hirelings opposing him with all their
power and twice he has made Parker
| lie down like a whipped dog The
fever of contest has again begun to
boil in Lelande's blood.
| Capt. G. III. Hance, who has been
chosen for city treasurer, and Judge r.
M. Lusk, who is the nominee for tax
collector, are both good Democrats.
The other nominees for the principal
offices are Republicans. Capt. Hance
was city clerk for six years and while
in that position gained the reputation
of being the best clerk the city has
| ever had. His office was conducted
along progressive business lines and
gained him great popularity.
Judge r. M Lusk is a citizen of but
five years residence in Southern Cali
| fornia, but he belongs exclusively to
Los Angeles now and has invested
100000 in real estate in this city. He
is native of Texas and served with
honor on the bench of that state.
All of the nominees for the principal
honors are men who are well known
| in the community.
Democracy is represented by three
men in the nominations for council
that have already been made These
are Martin F. Betkouski, M. T. Collins
and r. w. Dromgold. Mr.. Betkouslxi
| is now one of the two Democrats on
the fire commission. For two success
sive terms the Seventh wards seat in
the, council has been held by a Demo-
crat, Edward Kern, and it is expected
that Betkouski will fill the vacancy
that Kern leaves. M. T. Collins has
served one term in the council.
Emmett H. Wilson and Willoughby
Rodman are the Democrats nominated
for the board of education by the nom
partisons. Mr.. Wilson is now a mem
ber of the board and has made an ex-
