THE REGULAR
 REPUBLICANS
Defeated In the California
 Primaries Yesterday
Lincoln Roosevelt League Swept Both North and South.

Los Angeles, May 5.-At midnight unofficial returns from the primaries held in southern California today indi- cated that the Lincoln Roosevelt re- publicans have carried seven out of the seventeen assembly districts south of Kern county. The delegations will be split in five districts. The regular ticket won in the remaining five. The contest for a majority of the 103 dele gates from Los Angeles county ap- pears to be close the organization con- ceding to the Lincoln Roosevelt League forty eight delegates and holding thir- teen as doubtful.
 The league leaders at the same hour claimed a clear majority of delegates. the estimate being from 5S to 62. It is possible that complete returns will show that the league has won as many as seventy delegates.
 Neither in this city nor in the coun- try was the victory well defined for either side, the result being in some cases a surprise and in others a fore gone conclusion. The latest returns indicate that the regular ticket has carried in but two of the assembly dis tricts, the seventy first and the seven y-third, the other seven in the coun- ty being split or lost to the league.
 The league ticket was overwhelm- ingly victorious at'Long Beach, Pasa- dena. South Pasadena, Hollywood, San Pedro and Pomona. The organi- zation won by an equal margin in Saw telle, Santa Monica and Redondo.
 The regular democratic organization ticket was successful in this city and county and throughout southern Cali fornia,f electing the entire delegation to a state convention.

CREOLE ADMITS TO COURT
THAT HE WAS I'm BAD"
Jesse Brady Runs Against Bad Luck
In Disorderly House.

Tn bad" is the word for Jesse
Brady, a creole. who was arrested for
being drunk after a four day souse
in Gary. Brady is a creole and had
money. somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50, and had been hanging
around John Bonick's resort Yester-
day he found himself robbed of s1Oo,
a gold watch and a pair of diamond
cuffbuttons. In addition to this he
was arrested on the charge of disor-
der1y conduct. His fine amounted to
$3.50 and not having the money to
pay it with, he will have to go to
Crown Point to serve his time.
Although Prosecutor D. E. Boone
prosecuted the prisoner he did not fail
to score the houses which permit such
characters to hang around who will
rob the customers when they get
drunk
Reports of this sort are coming in
quite regular and I am going to stop
this thing, even if 1 have to put the
saloons out of business" said Mr..

Sees No Economy in Taking Govern

Purpose.

Washington, April 2.-Representative
Crumpavcker, Of Indiana, Is making =
successful fight in the House against
the Agricultural Department engaging
in the business of road building. An
appropriation of $500 600 for building of
experimental postroads went out on a
point of order, and there was some
sharp criticism from the Indiana mem
Der on the attempt to commit the Gov
ernment to road building in the state
My Judgment is that is the propo-
sition We're submitted to the voters of
the Tenth district Of Indiana for the
federal government to distribute its
surplus of any considerable amount of
money TO be used among the States for
road building, it would be defeated by
an overwhelming majority. The peo-
pie of the State of Indiana believe that
public money ought to be expended by
the taxpayers themselves and money
that comes from the Federal Govern
ment comes like mama from heaven.
and there is not the high sense of vief
lence in its expenditure that there is
where the people pay money into the
common treasury and vigilantly look
dlter us expenditures One dollar of
local tax will do as much in road build
ing as 50 given by the French Govern
ment.
No Economy in 1t.
1 do not see any economy or pur-
pose in taking money out of the Fed
eral Treasury and expending it for
local use The money in the Federal
Treasury belongs to the people Of the
United States. Gentlemen talk about
spending money for the support of the
army and navy. Whose army and navy
are they? Whose commerce is it that
large sums of money are expended for
in river and harbor Improvements if
1t is not for the commerce of the farm
er? Are not the army and the navy to
protect the Government that the
farmers do so much to support and that
is so necessary to their security? The
expenditure of money for the army and
the navy is an expenditure or money I
for Federal functions, but it is not a |
