DEMOCRATIC CLUB HAS
NERVOUS EVENING

For hours there was suspense at the
Democratic club headquarters last night
over the results in Mayor Harper's dis
trict Hopes went up and down as diff
ferent precincts struggled in, but a few
minutes before midnight Nathan Cole,
1r., and Herbert Kennedy both felt au-
thorIzed to telephone Mayor Harper at
his home that he had carried the day
by about twenty votes.
There were four precincts missing
then, but on looking at. his register
Chairman Schwamm said the propor-
tion would not be disturbed seriously
by the late returns.
All evening members had gone in and
out, varying the monotony by going to
the court house or by telephoning
league headquarters, swapping bulle-
tins.
Comment was free by club members
that mistake had been made in not
more thoroughly organizing the mayors
district, and several of the workers
were roundly criticised in precincts
where only two or three Democratic
votes had been cast.
I'D get more votes out or move else
where" was a bit of gratuitious advice
frequently offered.
Mayors secretary Herbert Kennedy,
said he had sent tickets out into the
Seventieth district by messenger boys
at 10 o'clock. and on telephoning twenty
minutes later to trace them he found
they had been delivered all right md
then disappeared.
''The Lincoln Roosevelt and the
league workers got away with the tick
cts" Kennedy charged.
Up to 10 o'clock Chairman Schwamm
was bit discouraged. saying that while
the regulars had made big sweeps in
the Seventy Seventy-second and
Seventy-fourth districts doubts existed
over the Sixty-ninth. Seventieth and
Seventy-fifth districts. Later he wore
a smile.
Scouts from the st. Joseph's church
district said that many Democrats there
had voted the Republican tickets.

MEYER LISSNER CERTAIN
OF DELEGATE MAJORITY

Meyer Lissner, chairman of the coun-
ty executive committee of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league, said:
I'VE can safely claim that we have
81 out of 103 delegates, perhaps more,
in Los Angeles county, and that two
thirds of the delegation to the state
convention from south of the Tehacha-
pi will be anti-machine. Other assem-
bly, districts were very close. The re-
suit demonstrates that with a more
perfect organization we can do a great
deal better at the August primaries.
We have elected solid delegation from
Pasadena and from the Sixty-eighth,
Sixty-ninth, Seventieth, Seventy-second
and Seventy-fourth assembly districts
except that portion of the Seventy
fourth outside the city of Los Angeles.
The Sixty-seventh assembly district.
Seventy-first and Seventy-fifth are very
close. The machine has won the Ninth
ward and the Seventy-third assembly
district"

CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE
JUBlLANT AT VICTORY

When victory for the Lincoln-Roose
yelt faction of the Republican party
seemed assured Sidney A. Butler
chairman of the general county com.
mittee said:
II feel that 1t is a great victory and
that IL we had organization equal tc
the machines we would have beaten
them at every turn.
There being no direct issue at this
time. 1t was very hard to create enthus-
iasm on the part of the indifferent
voter. who generally votes on the right
side and for clean government.
when you consider an organization
as thoroughly intrenched as the South
ern Pacific organization Is and has been
for the past thirty years, the result
tells me that the people are thinking
seriously; and that when it comes to
our fall elections, where we have direct
issues to enthuse the people with. we
are bound to win. In the present con-
test there was not much at stake, as
both factions of the party were pledged
to w. H. Taft"

terday. Nearly two hundred automo-
biles were in the service of the league
workers, and they brought thousands
TO the polls. The regular Republicans
were not without ample funds and ve-
hicles, although they did not have
large number of automobiles.
The voting in the country districts
was wholly among the Republicans, as
the Democrats will not hold their pri-
maries outside Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena until Saturday. Reports from the
country districts show that the voting
was not heavy. The returns were slow
in reaching the Republican headquar-
ters at the Republican league rooms,
and were not sufficient to justify
claims. The fact that Long Beach was
carried by the Lincoln Roosevelt league
by only about 80 was q surprise to the
regulars who had expected II to go be-
tween two and three hundred for the
leaguers.
Secretary Petermichel at midnight
last night said that orty-eight of the
country precincts had been carried by
the regulars and that thirteen were
doubtful The Lincoln Roosevelt league
claimed g. number of precincts from
which telephone returns had been re-
ceived. but 1t will require full returns
to satisfy all as to the standing Of the
country districts. The probability. how
ever, is that the leaguers have little
the best of the fight.

FIND FRAUD EVIDENCE
in SEVERAL PRECINCTS

At the headquarters of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league in the Lissner build
ing the returns were received and tabu-
lated by Meyer Lissner, chairman OF
the county executive committee; Sid
ney A. Butler, chairman of the general
county commission; ]. w. Rice, secre-
tary of the county executive committee;
Lee c. Gates and others.
Mr.. Rice gave some idea of the diff
cuities they had to contend with. He
said:
''In the Seventy~first assembly dis
trict every board consisted of push
men. In many precincts of this district
only machine tickets were in evil
dence, our ballots having been tucked
away somewhere. The league was very
short of men.
In the Seventy-fourth district we
were unable to secure enough workers
at the polls. and at some of the polling
placers voters would ask for league
tickets and find none. Thus he would
have to vote a machine ticket or not
at all. In the morning found that
tickets sent through the mails had not
reached the precinct committeeman in
the outside precincts. which may have
caused a loss of vote.
West of Main street later in the day
we were unable to secure the services
VI pthliictiC tiliLSllS iii dDOuL uOOI. anu
from then on our votes increased. East
or Main street the push had on the
board men who were either employed
by or under the direction of the South
ern Pacific machine. Machine tickets
were scattered all over but at some of
the polling places was unable to find
any league tickets at all, particularly in
the vicinity of San Pedro and Fifth
streets. West of Main fair play for
the most part predominated. On Figue-
roa street there was some small dis
turbance In the early morning. We
placed four workers there and the
trouble ceased. We did not have
frie. d on the board at Figueroa and
Sixth streets.
"At 6c2 South Olive street Johnny
Summerfield was conspicuous with his
automobile. We found some drinking
there, and a Lincoln-Roosevelt badge
was out of it's proper element.
Every push committeeman all over
the city was furnished with list Of the
voters, while the league men had no
lists to work FROM
Gilbert Wright, one of the candidates
said that his men reported few cases
of intoxication, but that there was little
disorder, though there was a tendency
to discriminate against the league man.
H. ]. Lelande. city clerk, was among
those who received the returns at
league headquarters. He said he visited
four precincts in the Sixth ward. In
two of them it appeared to be the Gus
tom to hand out machine ticket
with the remark that it was the regu-
lar Republican ticket, but few votes
were gained in this manner.
