Mayor Taylor has again given the politi-
clans shock by refusing 10 build out OF his
victory in the municipal election a Democrats
machine with which to get control Of party af-
fairs in the state. The Mayor has been busy
for some time preparing to fill offices which will
become vacant when he enters on his regular
term in January. So far he has resisted all
attempts of the bosses to dictate his appoint
rrents. He has even declined 10 announce his
plans in regard to the selection of appoinrees.
Heretofore these nominations have been die
tated by the party bosses. and the Mayor has
been merely fgurehead in making the ap-
pointnnents Taylor is an oldtime Democrat,
and it was thought by some of his party leaders
that he would use his power to gather the dis
cordant factions of the party in California inio
a compact machine which would have a fight
