OCEAN PARK, Feb. 1O.--Only one
ticket for the trusteeship so far has
been launched and this is sheltered
beneath the wing of the Good Govern
menr league. While ostensibly fail
play" ticket the men who will seek
office under the fostering of the league
are alleged by the Fraser and Jones
party to be Kinney nominees.
On the other hand members of the
Kinney faction assert that the Ocean
Park Independent club and the Pro-
gressive party organizations are both
dominated by the Fraser and Jones
element and that any ticket framed
by either of the clubs will necessarily
carry the names of that faction men,
As yet neither of the latter two clubs
has slated ticket. Reports have been
circulated connecting the names of
several prominent men of the city as
probable candidates on one or the
other of the proposed states, but no
definite decision has been made and
it is stated that as yet the selections
have not been passed upon.
w. T. Wheatley, c. w. Damerel and
G. w. Carr, three of the most promi-
nent of Ocean Parks citizens, have
been named in connection with the
approaching election and have been
asked to accept nominations for trus-
tees. Recognized as public-spirited
and fair minded men, whose interests
would be for |, the right, with Impair
TALLY in dealing with the factions,
they are said to have been approached
by both the Fraser and Jones faction
and the Kinney faction with the re-
quest that they would run on the ticket
of each
Hesitate to Enter Fight
While willing to do all in their power
to aid the city and to promote the
interests of the citizens all three have
hesitated at entering the factional
fight as candidates for trustees.
Mr. Wheatley, who is prominent in
the Los Angeles business circles, made
a statement recently in which he said
that while as yet he had not consented
to accept nomination for trustee he
would willingly run for office on a
ticket which was fostered and sup
ported by the square dear voters or
the city. He further stated that he
would refuse to permit his name to
be used on any ticket which he knew
to be. selected as representing the In
terests of either of the two warning
factions.
While claims have been made by
members of the Kinney faction that
the Progressive party and the Ocean
Park Independent club are both organs
of the Fraser and Jones faction. these
charges have been denied empharically
by members of the two organizations.
A prominent member of the first named
club said today:
I'VE have sought to eliminate both
factions from the organization and the
claim that either Mr.. Fraser or Mr..
Jones were back of the club is untrue
Both men are out of the city at this
time and neither has either member
ship or voice in the policy of the club.
They also will have no say or influence
in the selection of the men whom we
will run on our ticket for trustees.
am in a position to know that neither
Mr.. Fraser nor Mr.. Jones wish other
than fair deal and they will be more
than satisfied if five impartial men are
chosen to serve as trustees at the APP
preaching election"
