MURASkY AFFIRMS
ALLEGIANCE TO BRYAN
JUDICIAL NOMINEE SUPPORTS
DENVER PLATFORM
Nomination Made Unanimous by
Democrats as Soon as Salts
factory Assurances
Are Given

Chairman Albert M. Norton of the
Los Angeles county Democratic COM
mittee returned yesterday from San
Francisco, where he attended the meet
ing of the state convention which nom
mated Judge Frank j. Murasky for as
sociate supreme justice.
Chairman Norton had little to say
about the convention, as it was a short
session, marked by harmony. The only
regret was that Judge Cyrus F. McNutt
lacked enough votes to win the nomtn-
alton.
The nominee received 2S7 votes as
against 120 for the Los Angeles jurist.
Tim Spellacy of Los Angeles, former
chairman of the state Democratic COM
mittee, who placed Judge McNutt III
nomination, moved that Judge Muras-
ky's choice be made unanimous.
The local mans candidacy was the
only vital force which detected votes
from the nominee on the first ballot,
Judge James E. Pemberton of Ukiah
having withdrawn after Matt Sullivan
and other delegates dwelt on the fact
that Murasky had been Endorsed by
the Union Labor party IN addition TO
being nominated by the Independents.
In withdrawing Pemberton told the
convention that he considered fealty to
the party above personal consldera-
lions.
Chairman Norton stated, as did Alec
Robertson of San Mateo, that the Los
Angeles Democrats stood ready to vote
for Judge Murasky provided he repu-
dated the Endorsement of the lnde-
pendents. but j. C. Ruddick, who had
placed Pemberton in nomination. ironed
things out by asking Judge Murasky
If he Endorsed the Democratic national
platform and upheld the principles OF
William Jennings Bryan.
Judge Murasky answered both ques-
tions affirmatiVely, which speeded the
balloting, and in a few minutes the vot-
ing was concluded and made unani-

Leading Excursionists

The biggest rabbit drive of the sea-

politicians plan to make the occasion
a semi-political event.
A big delegation of Los Angeles
Democrats will take part in the hunt
which will attract hundreds of ranch
ers from the surrounding country, and
their orroptunity to do missionary
work for Bryan will not be lost.
Committees have been in conference
with Anthony Schwamm, supervlsorlal
candidate, who took part in the rabbit
hunts last week, and as result many
members of the Democratic league and
the Democratic club have been inter
ested and will avail themselves of the
opportunity to take little inland ex-
cursion and spread the Commoner's
gospel besides.
A special railroad rate has beer
made, and if enough Angelenos ex

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
SOUTHWEST IS AFTER
STREET CAR SERVICE
BELIEVE WALLACE CAN HURRY
MATTERS SOME
Property Owners viii Organize Vol
unteer Fire Department and Ask
City to Furnish 500 Feet
of Hose

A slow fire is to be built under
Councilman A. ]. Wallace Of the Fifth
ward by constituents living west of
Vermont avenue and north of Santa
Barbara avenue.
Those two streets provide good
street car service, but beyond Vermont
is district now well settled which
is some distance from any car line.
The matter was agitated year ago,
and there was some promise of addi-
tional service for that section. Moth
ing has since been. done, and it is
said that line cannot be secured
without a bonus.
The residents in that neighborhood
feel that Councilman Wallace ought to
stir matters up and get for them as
good car service by north and south
lines as is the case in the eastern part
of the city. So far the matter has not
gone beyond the discussion stage.
Residents of the College tract in
tend to secure better lighting facili-
ties and fire protection. They intend
to organize a volunteer fire company
and will ask the city to furnish 500
feet of hose. They will provide hose
cart and chemical extinguisher out
of their own pockets. The nearest
engine house is two miles and there
are no alarm boxes in that section.
Residents in that neighborhood have
been getting together to discuss plan
of action. They have called general
meeting at Arlington, hall, Forty
eighth and Gramercy place this even
ing, at which the College Tract I'm
provement association will be organ
lied.
After asking for hose and for more
fire hydrants. the association will make
a concerted pull for street lights. They
think, too. that volunteer fire COM
pany will obtain better fire insurance
rates for that section. and a committee
will take that matter in hand.

ALL DISCUSS SNUB TO
STATES CHIEF EXECUTIVE
San Lula obispo Committees Action
in Closing the Door on Glllett
Has Set Republicans
Aghast

The snub given to Governor Gillett
at San Luis Obispo by the county ex-
ecutive committee there, is a subject
of discussion by most visitors from
the north at Los Angeles hotels.
Leaders in San Luis Obispo declined
to permit the chief executive to speak
there.
The secret leaked out from the COM
mittee meeting there and the Asso-
ciated Press sent the news broadcast
before the politicians realized what the
significance of the snub amounted to.
Some of the northern Republicans
who know the facts think 1t bad form
to snub the governor because of his
friendliness to the Southern Pacific ma
chine.
Others look upon the snub as another
stroke of the revolutionary movement
against bosssm started by the Lincoln
Roosevelters.
The element that felt that something
should be done to heal the wound
managed to have the committee re-
called since Mondays now famous
meeting and 1t is said a hot debate
followed behind closed doors at a
special meeting.
Reporters have not been let into
the results, but no action to rescind
the snub seems to have been taken
and San Luis Obispo continues to
lock the doors on Governor Gillett.

STORM SEWER PETITIONS TO
BE CONSIDERED WEDNESDAY

At the meeting of the board of pub

consideration will be given to petitions
for storm sewers in the Wilton place
and Western avenue sections.
The former presents rather a difficult
problem, as it cannot be constructed
without securing a right of way over
land now occupied by three houses. and
on that account the expense is a factor.
The city engineer has prepared plans
for both a local and a general system
in the neighborhood of Wilton place,
and his figures estimate the cost at
$23, 900 to SIS. 900.

TO WORK AS AUXILIARY

Bourbons of San Francisco who work
under the leadership of Gavin McNab
are discussing the organization of an

more time to devote to state affairs.
The Napa statesman's workers are
believed to be willing to assume the
responsibility for the state, content
with the belief that San Francisco will
roll UP a big Bryan majority, as Bryan
will get the solid labor vote.
The special committee will be charged
solely with taking care of the Bryan
