sweeping work ever seen at a bono

board is working in cooperation with
the campaign committee on the details
of the big election day organization.
This committee is headed by Gilbert
S. Wright as chairman. From its num-
bers there is a special automobile COM
mittee of four members-Gilbert s..
Wright, Charles G. Hubbard, A. J..
Benedict and Herbert L. Cornish.
Realty Men Respond
The real estate men of Los Angeles
have responded in tremendous numbers
to the call for active workers for the
success of the Owens river bonds. 1t
is a close race between the real estate
men and the laboring men which class
of citizens enlists the larger number
of active workers and performs the
greatest service for the success Of the
water project.
Chairman Wright in behalf Of the
Wright & Calender company headed
the list by donating the services Of
five automobiles and ohauffeurs.
The Erkenbrecher syndicate followed
closely with a signed offer of the ser
vices of its seven members and an au-
tomobile, and in addition announced its
plan to post one hundred large two
color posters throughout the city urg-
ing the people to work as well as to
vote for the bonds. This offer was
made in the following communication
signed by Byron Erkenbrecher, W. H.
Tonkin, G. H A. Goodwin, F. E. Ha-
german, J. c. Crisler, G. F. Morgan and
