The republicans who are discredit
to their party are those voters who are
satisfied to accept whatever the polite
ians choose to dish up for their APP
proval. And the republicans who are
willing to fight to make the party good
enough and clean enough to support
are the best kind Of republicans. 1t is
the man who stands up and fights for
what he thinks is right that counts. in
stead of the fellow who bolts his party
every time he can't have his own way
about everything. You don't leave
your home because lit gets dirty. If
you did you would be always on the

COMPLYING WITH THE LAW
Associations of Wholesalers and Re-
tailers at Los Angeles
Being Dissolved.

Los Angeles. May 23.-The Cartwright
antitrust law. perhaps the most far
reaching in effect of any of the laws Of
the last legislature, went into effect to
day. and IS a result in this county alone
thirty or more combinations OF whole
saIers and retailers in various mercan-
tile lines will voluntarily dissolve in or
der to comply with the provisions Of the
new statute.
This law is designed to put an end to
all combinations and so-called trusts
acting in restraint of trade and trying
to smother competition" said District
Attorney Fredericks this morning. Thus
far there has been no disposition of bus
mess men to evade the law In most Of
the cases reported to the office the mem
bers of the trade combinations have come
voluntarily TO us and have sigHified their
intention of complying with the law where
they are at variance with it."
The Southern California Wholesale Gro
GERS association, which had been under
by the federal grand jury
for alleged violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law, was voluntarily dissolved to-
day. 1t will be reorganized in conform
ity with the new state and federal stat
