things, he has won their confidence.
That the majority of the votes will be
cast for Mr. Farley is conceded by the
best judges of local affairs in the city.
They concede that the election will be
a close one, but a thorough canvass of
the city has shown the strength of the
citizens candidate to be great enough
to overcome the start which the in
cumbent candidate had when the cam
paign opened.
Political communications have flood
ed the local press, some taking stand
for one side and some for another
There has been general tendency to
exploit the electric, water and tax
questions to the detriment of all others
but of late there has crept into the
political forum intimations that there
are also other things which needed the
attention of the voters.
The claims made by the incumbent
ticket that they stood on no platform
save their record and the record Of
Mayor Waterhouse, has led to an in
veStigation of that record and it has
been remarked that of the nearly $780,
900 worth of street work that has been
done under the supervision of the pres
ent administration, there has been very
little that was not practically forced
from the council and mayor by petition
after petition from the property own
ers. 1t has also been pointed out that
the municipal government has come no
nearer solving the municipal water
situation than 1t was solved when 1t
assumed office, despite the fact that
that question was the one paramount
issue of the campaign which elected
them. There is also the significant fact
that the electric plant was assured by
direct taxation which established a
precedent which investors Of promi-
nence in the city have denounced as
most unadvised. There are communi-
cations already incorporated in the
stuff, printed in the local
papers, that state that the direct tax
ing of the people for the purpose of Sc
curing money with which to pad the
bond issue and secure an electric light
ing system which would belong to the
city of Pasadena, has scared away
many prominent investors OF the me-
dena a scene of their financial triumphs
and harvest field in which to plant
their idle capital and reap the profits.
All these things taken together the
general impression conveyed to the
voter has been that of the uselessness
of the present administration from the
point OF view taken by the majority
the view that looks only toward the
horizon on which are written the words
THE public good"
Summing up the campaign, many
voters have changed their stand and
are announced supporters of the citi-
zens' ticket.

ENCAMPMENTS PROMISE
TO BE WELL ATTENDED
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March $3.50 far as
the attendance of state militia at the
joint encampments this summer Is con-
cerned, Gen. Murray, chief Of artillery,
is now assured by the responses re-
ceived from the governors and adju-
tant generals of the states that this
novel project is sure to be a great sue
cess.
The governor of California has just
notified the war department of the ac-
ceptance of the invitation to the joint
drills and has asked that provision be
made for the participation of all the
fifty-two militia companies in the state.
The war department has proposed to
entertain only twenty-seven companies
at the outside, to be disposed of as fol-
lows: Six at Fort Rosecrans, six at
Fort Miles, eighteen at Fort Winfield
Scott and seven at Fort Baker.
Gen. Murray wrote to the governor
of California proposing that the fifteen
additional companies be encamped by
the state at it's own expense in the
neighborhood of the three posts named,
when they will be given an oppor-
tunity to take part in the joint move
ments of the regular army and the
militia.

WATERHOUSE IS
NOT A FAVOR|TE
INCUMBENT CANDIDATE LOSES
IN BETTING
Bears Concentrate Drive on Water
house Money with Odds at to 10,
and Force Farley Up to Fa-
vorite on the Board
Pasadena Agency.
n North Raymond Avenue.
Phones: Sunset 1907. Home 2124.

PASADENA, March 29.-The bears
waded into the political market this
afternoon and concentrated huge
financial attack on the odds offered
hitherto in the betting ring. The odds
have given Waterhouse the best of the
argument but it is authoritatively
stated there has been a slump in Water
house stock and the incumbent's S
henchmen are known to have refused
even money bets. Tomorrow the odds
will switch in favor of Thomas Ear
ley, the citizens candidate, when the
betting ring opens.
Farley money has been rather scarce
since the campaign opened this year.
The reason was apparent when Mr..
Earey's supporters announced that
they were not betting on the election
results. They are not a betting crowd
and did not wish to pollute the election
with campaign BETS And they have
stood by their announcements. There
fore the odds have favored Mr.. Water
house because his henchmen loudly
proclaimed their betting offers and
scoffed at the man who mentioned Mr.
Farley in the list of those who had a
possible show for election. There were
many small bets placed among the nom
interested ones, but Waterhouse money
went begging during the greater por-
ton of the campaign when 1t sought
cover in the ranks of Mr.. Earley's an
nounced supporters.
Today marked the betting epoch of
the campaign. There were nice large
bets placed in juicy punches and among
those who covered Waterhouse money
were some of the most prominent mer-
chants in the city. 1t is estimated that
the merger aggregated a betting capi-
tai of several thousand and 1t is ru-
mored that there were several $500 bets
placed at small odds and at an even
figure. 1t was impossible to get Water
house odds in the city tonight
Enthused by the heat of the cam
paign, Mr.. Earley's supporters have
practically covered all the field and
found that the odds of election are in
favor OF their candidate. They have
rested from their arduous labor and
are now awaiting the decision of the
voters at the ballot box on Monday
morning. There is every likelihood
that the Waterhouse ticket will be de-
feated at the polls.
With the sentiment of the laboring
classes against him from the start, be-
cause he was said in some of the Los
Angeles morning papers to uphold the
corporations and to own stock in one of
the water companies, Mr.. Farley has
fought on to tell the public that he Is
not interested in anything so much as
he Is in its welfare.
He has won the attention OF the
voters and by his strong clear argu-
ments and businesslike wav OF putting
