Quoted in Call
fornia

On account of the contestants not
fully understanding the contest, the
manager Is again explaining how to
get votes in The Heralds $4,000 popu-
lar voting contest.
In every issue of the Los Angeles
Herald will be found coupon good for
ten votes, and the contestants may
gather as many of these as possible. A
nominating blank also appears which
starts a candidate in the race by giving
her twenty-five votes. Only one of
these nominating blanks may be turned
in by one contestant, but each ana
every one may gather as many of the
ten-vote coupons as they can secure.
With every paid in advance subscrip-
tion turned in by or for the contestant
a coupon good for a certain number or
votes will be issued according to the
length of the subscription. A new SUD
scription for one year counts for 1000
votes. a new subscription for SIX
months counts for 600 votes and Tor
three months counts for 300 votes: Ola
subscriptions count for just half as
many as the above schedule for new
subscribers.
In contest No. 1, which is for young
ladies' there will be forty-one winners
that is four prizes for each of the ten
districts and capital prize winner.
The winner of the capital prize will
have her choice of the entire list OF
prizes, Then the leaders In each or the
ten districts will have their choice.
The second choice for each district will
be a scholarship, the third prize WIN
ner for each district will receive
diamond ring and the fourth prize WIN

shin she may may her choice. The
third prize winner will have her choice
of the two remaining prizes and the
fourth winner will have the remaining
prize. -,
Next Sunday morning the names will
appear in the paper, with the number
of votes to the credit of contestants.
In turning in q subscription, after the
contestant has received the vote coupon
to which she is entitled she may with
hold that coupon until the last day OF
the contest If she SO desires, or turn
them in at any time that she cares to
during the contest. That is done SO
that the subscribers may have their
papers started without any delay and
give the contestant the advantage OF
the reserve votes.
New candidates are entereing the
race daily, appreciating the fact that
the remaining eight weeks of the con-
test will soon slip away, and the sooner

be for them to win the prize they are
working for.

THEATER MANAGERS
WILL GIVE BENEFIT
PERFORMANCE ARRANGED FOR
FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Best Acts from the Leading Houses
of Los Angeles VIII Be
Put on at the
Mason

There is but one real, simon-pure
bargain counter in Los Angeles this
week. The sale is now on, but the
delivery of goods commences promptly
at o'clock Friday afternoon at the
Mason theater, with goods enough to
go around to every purchaser, and
more than enough to spare, lasting in
a continuous performance until 6
o'clock in the evening. Every season
the theatrical managers of Los An
geles give an entertainment OF this
kind for the purpose of raising funds
to assist the poor and needy in the
theatrical and musical professions;
those who are sick or suffering adj
versity. or to furnish a bed in one OF
the local hospitals, or assist stranded
Thespians to their homes in the east.
The best acts are taken from each
of the theaters and sent to amuse and
assist In earning this helping hand for
the needy. Over $4,000 has been dis
bursed In two years through this me-
has been done for the needy outside or
what is strictly known as the working
companies of Los Angeles.
Over $4,000 was sent the day OF the
earthquake to assist those in the cities
of the north, and at least $4,000 has
been disbursed since that time to those
in want in Southern California.
The program for Friday afternoon
will commence promptly at 1 o'clock
at the Mason theater, and is so full of
novelties that there is hardly any
character of acts, vaudeville, dramatic
or musical, but will have it's position
for q few moments on the board. The
Orpheum, Empire and Fischers, with
the best Of variety turns, will vie with
entire acts from the Belasco, Audi

PUT ALL RESPONSIBILITY
ON CHIEFS SHOULDERS

Rather than renew the controversy
over granting permits for street meet
ings the police board yesterday voted
to put such applications in the hands
of the chief with power to act.
The Church Federation sent word
that during May it would need certain
downtown streets again during the
noon hour and asked for the usual
privilege.
Commissioner H. B. Woodill favored
denying the permit as the Socialists
had also been denied, but it was de-
cided by vote to let the chief pass judg-
men
The federation held similar street
meetings in January and February.

GdrreCht For the Legislature

At meeting of the democratic

headquarters in the Ransom building
yesterday evening, Attorney F. A. Gar
recht was elected to fill the vacancy
on the ticket caused by the resignation
of r. J. Tompkins, who was nominated
at the primary election for state rep

lative district. Mr.. Tompkins, who
has been ill with typhoid fever for

several weeks, felt that it would be
unfair to the ticket to remain thereon
when it was impossible to make an ac-
tive campaign, and his resignation
was accepted at last nights meeting.
Mr.. Garrecht is one of the best
known democrats in the state of
Washington, and may be depended
upon to work for the best interests of
his constituents at all times. His NOM
ination has met with the general ap-
prOval of Walla Walla democrats.

executive into the fight and keep Mr.
Taft in thei background.
I know also that the democratic
managers realize that some of them
have hurt Mr.. Bryan, that only his
personality and his past advocates
and ethical stands can save him and
the party.
And finally, Mr.. Bryan himself
senses the situation, and lays before
the country the entire question when
he writes to the president:
II have lived in vain if your accu-
sations lose mel single friend"
And I think it is correct to say that
henceforth the Bryan position will be
to compel Judge Taft to accept the
gage of battle and not deal in gener-
alities while he depends on the presi-
dent to fight his fights.
