LEAGUES WAGE
FIGHT AGAINST
MACHINE RULE
BATTLE ON TODAY AT THE
PRIMARIES
REFORM FORCES HAVE HIGH
HOPES OF SUCCESS
Voters Are Warned Against Trickery
Likely to Be Practiced at Polling
Places by Adherents
of Herrln

Every voter who fails to go to the
polls in Los Angeles and Los Angeles
county today misses chance to deal
the Southern Pacific machine blow.
Both the Democratic and the Repub-
lican leaguers are intent on electing
able, intelligent, wise, fearless and anti
machine men as delegates to the assem-
bly, and county conventions and that Is
the issue today
There will be tickets innumerable
distributed at all polling places today,
and doubtless the usual tactics of steal
ing pastors, and the voters must exer-
else caution that they be not be-
trayed.
Chairmen of the committees have
issued warnings that no writing must
be done on stickers or it may invalidate
the ballots; it is better where scratch
ing" is done for voters to rewrite the
names of candidates on the lines pro-
vided for the purpose on the ballots.
Polls Open at 6
In Los Angeles and Pasadena the
polling places will be opened at 6
o'clock; elsewhere in the county at
p. m.
That those who may wish to vote the
anti-machine tickets-and last night the
chairmen of the leaguers of both par
ties held out every hope that their fac
tions would win-would do well to
watch the list of candidates indorsed
by the Democratic and Republican
leagues respectively.

tingent of indorsed delegates:

Mcdonald Sounds Warning
Chairman Henry M Mcdonald of the
| organization committee of the Demo-
cratic league said last night that DEM
ocrats having the highest interests of
| the party at heart had been nominated
as delegates to the county and assem-
bly, district conventions, and the re-
suit would be not only good candi-
dates but central committee made up
of Democrats of standing, ability and
character, who would conduct an ag-
gressive, vote getting and effective
campaign.
THE assembly district delegates will
not only attend the state convention"
said Mr.. Mcdonald, but will nomi-
nate the Democratic candidate for con-
gress from the Los Angeles congress-
ional district to fight McLachlan, who
win undoubtedly be renominated by
the Republicans.
"A weak candidate is desired by both
the Republicans and machine Demo-
Gratis for the Democratic side, so that
McLachlan's reelection may be as
sured.
Hence voters should beware against
voting for delegates who have only cor
porate interests at heart
