IL do not deny that a considerable
faction in the Ocean Park Independent

George Gallagher, is endeavoring to
turn the club over, body and soul, to
the Fraser and Jones interests.
IT do not believe they can succeed,
but If they do every member of the
club, who feels as / do, cannot do
otherwise than vote as his conscience
shall dictate in the coming election
The avowed object of the club when
organized was to free the city from the
domination of Fraser and Jones and
Abbot Kinney. The club was supposed
to stand for a square deal for every
man and every legitimate property in
terest in the Santa Monica Bay district.
1T has membership large enough to

affairs any more than it will tolerate
dictation by Abbot Kinney. Fraser.
Jones and Kinney are entitled to Justice
no more, no less. That is what the
Ocean Park Independent club was or
ganized to give.

coming quarter will be banqueted by
the other at a date to be decided later.
An event worthy of mentioning Is the
play, PRO Tenn" that is going to be
staged under the auspices of Angelina
council by the Highland Park Ora
matte club, February "a, at Conaty
hall corner of Downey avenue and
DAILY street. PRO Tenn" is a very
cleverly written comedy by c. E. Grff-

humor and mtrth, for children as well
as for older persons. This comedy of
three acts will be preceded by a short
curtain raiser, entitled 1.-THE Last Re
hearsal." which is burlesque on the
snags that the stage manager, director
and other helpers are continually rum
ming UP against when a new play Is to
be put on. Between the acts the audi
ence viii be entertained by musical
numbers, both vocal and instrumental.
